A New Bridge Needed at College Avenue Crossing.

Since the improvement of College avenue a few years ago the hauling on that thoroughfare has greatly increased and consequently the old bridge has become greatly weakened and much worn. When the river was made into a ditch the channel of the river was much narrowed and the present bridge is twice as long as is needed to span the present channel. It is an unsightly bridge as the stream passes under the south side, with something like thirty feet extending over the north side. A cement arch bridge, constructed the width of the stream, made a little wider to better accommodate traffic, would not cost very much and would be an improvement would not only add to the appearance of'that part of town, but make travel over that street more convenient and much safer. The old bridge could doubtless be sold for use in the country at some point where lhere is not nearly the travel there is over It at the" present time.

Thinks North Dakota Will Be Against Taft or Roosevelt

A letter written by W. 3‘. Anderson, dhief clerk in the office of the secretary of state of North Dakota, under date of June 15th, renewing his subscription, has reached us. Mr. Anderson is a brother-in-law of Charles Morion of this city, and waq for some years engaged in the newspaper business at Rugby, N. Dak. He sent $3 to renew his subscription and wrote: “Having been in the newspaper business I know full well how favorably the paid-in-advan'ce subscribers are considered and I want to practice the Golden Rule.” Mr. Anderson says that his family are well, crops are good, never better for this time of year. He says: “This western part of the state can stand a lot of moisture and we have had a lot of it. It has rained nearly every night during the past week.” The Chicago Convention was just opening up the day that Mr. Anderson wrote and he remarks that Teddy has just gone to Chicago to see that bishat remains in the ring. He says that if Teddy is nominated against Bryan, he can easily imagine Bryan the next president, and adds that the same will apply with Taft as the nominee, judged front the North Dakota sentiment Although Mr. Anderson is a republican, he is in a state that liked the LaFollette brand of insurgency and he doubtless speaks the sentiment of most republicans of the state when he says that neither Taft or Roosevelt could carry the state against Bryan.

CHAMP CLARK IN LEAD FIRST FOURTEEN BALLOTS.

Not Much Change Until 10th When Clark Got 104 More Than He Did the 9th—Adjourned After 12th. ..... .. v . .r ■ ■ • ■ - FOURTEENTH BALLOT. Clark 553 Wilson ........... 361 Underwood 11l Marshall 30 Harmon 29 Kern 2 Bryan 2 THIRTEENTH BALLOT. (lark 554% Wilson 856 Hannon 29 Underwood 115% Marshall 30 Foss 2

The vote above was taken after the convention had reconvened at 1 o’clock today and was the thirteenth ballot. The Ist ballot was taken before adjournment Thursday night, although it was 7 o’clock Friday morning. The convention met that afternoon at 4 o’clock and continued in session until after 2 o’clock Saturday morning. Eleven more ballots were taken. The 10th showed the first marked Change, a number of the Harmon delegates having switched to Clark, swelling his vote to 556 as against 452 on the 9th ballot. The 11th and 12th ballots did not materially change, although Clark lost 7 on the 12th ballot. On the 13th, taken after noon today, he had within 1% as many as he had received on the 10th. Governor Marshal} received 31 votes for ten ballots. All but one of these are from The odd one was from Michigan. He withdrew on the 11th ballot The Hoosier delegation is standing firmly for their governor. Bryan received 2 votes on the second ballot, On the 13th he did not receive any, indicating that he has sincerely given it out that he does not want any one to vote for him. Bryan’s resolution Is quite certain to injure Wilson, whom he is supposed to favor. It .will keep the conservative delegates from Wilson and probably eventually attract others just as it has a large number of the Harmon delegates. In order to ‘ win, he must get 170 more votes. This would be all of Underwood’s and all of Marshall’s and he would still be short 25 votes. To win he would have to get the balance of the . Harmon votes. . ‘i . r . Wilson lacked but 7 on the 13th ballot of having one-third. If he can get that many and keep them the convention will be a deadlock, which looks probable.

Good Hope.

Regular services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock in this church. Everybody invited.

MONON TO RUN 9 P. M. SPECIAL ON FOURTH.

Plans and Program Complete For the Greatest 4th Celebration in the History of Jasper County.

A special will leave Rensselaer at 9 o’clock p. m. That is the latest and final 4th of July “dope” as far as transportation accommodations are concerned.

Several days ago Agent Beam asked the Monon officials to have a special train leave here at 9 o’clock for the accommodation of hundreds of people from the north who wish to come here for the day.

“This,” said one of the Monon officials, “is impracticable, as it will make accommodation too late for the Chicago excursionists at Cedar Lake. The best we can do is to dispatch a special from Rensselaer at 6:03 p. m.” .

This statement was considered as final until this Saturday morning, when Agent Beam was informed by the traveling passenger agent, John Priest, that the Monon had rescinded its action and would run the special at the time first requested. This is good news for Rensselaer and those at the head of the week’s festivities, as many people from the north will come that otherwise would stay at home. Lowell had planned to send five or six hundred people here that day but the first decision of the Monpn killed that. Now, however, it Is probable that the whole town will be -here.

The celebration here is certainly going to be a “stem-winder” and will keep ’em going from start to finish. Besides the many novelty entertaining features, the carnival company’s big,shows, the seven free street acts, the balloon ascension, and the gorgeous fire play at night, are a few other features worthy of especial mention. These are the great vaudeville bill at the Gayety, with Reynolds and Donegan at the top, the Princess, which will feature J. Lester Haber-/ corn, the great baritone singer, and the baseball game between the Jefferson Tigers and Lowell, at River-, sidtfball park. A fine program has been planned by those In charge and a mammoth crowd Is expected here. Although Thursday is the “big” day, there will be something doing here from Wednesday-night till Sunday morning, and anybody who has any doubts had better stay and see. Rensselaer is the native town and boyhood home of # Earle Reynolds, who is now famous the world over,as an ieei and roller skater. He has skated at all the big theatres in America and makes annual /trips to England, Germany and France to fill engagements. A great crowd will take advamtage of the opportunity to see the Reynolds apd Donegan act that was given before the King and Queen of England, during the Coronation festivities in London, England. This act alone is worth coming many miles to see.

While loading sand in the Million brothers sand pit near Lake Cicott Tuesday George Hudson uncovered a skeleton, thought to be that of an Indian. The bones were found deep in the sand and were well preserved. The skeleton is very peculiar in many respects, being very large; the jaw bone is almost twice as large as that of the. ordinary person, one peculiarity about the jaw is the fact that the teeth are double both front and back. Several arrow heads were excavated < and other flint utensils Were found; among these was a peculiar shaped flint supposed to have been a fish scaler. About a bushel of charcoal was found along side of the skeleton. —Burnettsville News. George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the republican committee, has tendered his resignation. Although Mr. Sheldon expressed his desire to retire some time ago, no action has yet been taken by the committee. He will cease to be treasurer when the new committee meets.
