ROOSEVELT BUSHES TO THE FIRING LINE.

Big Convention. Theodore Roosevelt will reach Chicago this afternoon at 4 o’clock and will take personal charge of his race for the republican nomination for president. He will arrive in Chicago after the national committee has finished its work of settling contests. He has alleged that the national delegates have been stolen and determined to come to the “wipdy city” to look afteig his interests. The Taft people allege that the trip to Chicago is the last desperate act of a defeated candidate. The Roosevelt people say that their candidate is by no means defeated but that he is coming west to confer with his leaders and to be on hand when the final action of the convention places bis name at the head of the republican ticket.* The only arrangement made for Roosevelt is to address a big mass meeting to be held at the Auditorium theatre Monday evening. Others who had been asked to speak at the meeting have been Informed that their services will not be required and Roosevelt will be given a free hand with all the time that he wants. ■ . As the time for holding : the convention draws near it looks more and more as .though Taft is certain to be nominated. The Record-Herald states today that if all the claimed Taft delegates stand “hitched” he has within 21 of enough to nominate. These he is certain to get out of the 68 contest cases pending. But should he fail to get enough, then the 36 held by Lafollette and the 10 by Cummins will retain the balance of power. ■ New contests were filed yesterday against the Taft delegates from Alaska and the Philippines. The contests were ruled out as they had not been filed within the time required. This is another victory for Taft.

Several Observed Flag Day By Putting Flags in Yard.

The Republican stated Friday that so far as our reporters had observed Mayor Meyers’ residence was the only one where a flag floated on flag day. We have been advised since that several people observed the day and put flags out. Mrs. Dayton, who lives just west of Mayor Meyers, was one of these. Howard Green, a 12-year-old boy, son of Rev. J. P. Green, writes as follows to The Republican: “I saw. in yesterday’s Republican that Mayor Meyers was the only one The Republican knew to be celebrating the day by putting a flag out. It the editor had gone far enough south on Weston street he would have seen Old Glory flying in front of papa’s house. Papa thinks a great deal of the flag and our country and lets Old Glory fly on every occasion.”

Frank Moore and sister, Mrs. Eph Hickman and children went to Lafayette today to visit the former’s wife at St. Elizabeth's hospital, where .she was operated on about ten days ago? They will also visit their sisters there, Mrs. Roy Cheeseman and Mrs. John Lyons. Mrs. Moore, is making very I satisfactory improvement and it is expected she will be able to leave the hospital next Tuesday. Mrs. Milt Roth took her son, Harold, to Chicago two or three days ago to consult a specialist regarding his health. Mr. Roth received word this morning that they were at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. O. Swift, in Evanston, and that Harold was taken sick with a complication ,of troubles. Mr. Roth is to be informed of his condition throughout the day and will go to Evanston tomorrow. Chauncey Wood came home from Crawfordsville Thursday for a stay of several days while his father and brother, Paul, were at Dayton, Ohio, attending his father's regimental reunion, the 83rd Ohio. Chauncey has been working this spring for his brother-in-law, Harley Bruce and for George W. Terwilleger, who owns the farm where Harley lives, reserving 40 acres for his own tilling. Judge Hanley returned yesterday evening from a visit of two days in Chicago. He spent his time largely around the Taft and Roosevelt headquarters and watched the progress of the big political game . now being played there. He thinks there is no doubt about Taft's nomination. He also thinks that the leaders for Roosevelt will refuse to bolt and that Roosevelt will find little following if be pnder- -

“Flag Day” Observed By Womans Relief Corps.

On Friday afternoon Mrs. George Meyers and daughter, Miss Nell, and Mrs. C. P. Wright were hostesses to the Womans Relief Corps at the beautiful home of the former, at the corner of Rutsen and Division streets, the occasion being “Flag Day.” The parlors were prettily draped with flags, and red and white flowers set in a blue vase made an effective center piece. A program, consisting of appropriate recitations and readings was rendered and Miss Ruth Wood gave two solos, accompanied by Mrs. Ray Wood at the piano. < After Mrs. Medlcus had favored the guests with two recitations she presided at the piano while all joined in sntging “My Country.” Dainty refreshments of red, white and blue ice cream, with-cake and coffee were served, after which a general good time was enjoyed until 5 o’clock when the twenty-five guests took their departure, all agreeing that they had enjoyed the afternoon and feeling sorry for those who had been detained at home on account of the storm,—One present'

Most disfiguring skin eruptions, scrofula, pimples, rashes, etc., are due to impure blood. Burdock Blood Bitters as a cleansing blood tonic, is well recommended. SI.OO at all stores. A postal card from J. H. Willey, of San Diego, Cal., asks to have the address of his paper changed to 405% East Pike street, Seattle, Wash., until further orders. He sends kindly greetings to his old friends in Jasper county and says “The Republican comes to me as a bundle of letters from dear old Jasper county. I should miss it indeed should it cease to come and the days would be less bright even in this land of sunshine.” Warren Robinson arrived home last evening from his Texas trip. He contracted for the purchase of a cottage at Corpus Christi, which he will hold as an investment. That city is rapidly increasing in population and Mr. Robinson has great faith in its continued growth, believing that the opening of the Panama canal will go a long ways toward developing cities along the United States gulf coast. Mr. Robinson will not move there unless he can sell his Rensselaer property and he has no thought of going there for the time being, at least, Michael Oreely, 100 years old, one of the oldest settlers of Henry cbunty, this state, died Thursday at Richmond. William Allison and Robert Broom, murderers of a merchant at Landesville, have been received at the state prison in Michigan City to serve life sentences.
