RENSSELAER, INDIANA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1912.

YOUNG ELOPERS MARRIED IN KANKAKEE, ILLINOIS.

Miss Ruth Makeever and Bradford Poole Eluded Friends and Had Knot Tied Tuesday. Miss Ruth Makeever is now the bride of Bradford Poole, son of Mr, and Mrs. John Poole, of this city. Thusly are confirmed the rumors that have been in circulation for the past two days. The marriage amounts to an elopement, although the principals are both of marriageable age and legally competent to decide for themselves. The •marriage is the culmination of 'a friendship extending over a period of five years. They began keeping company when freshmen in high school. The case was one of mutual admiration from the start The match is considered by their many friends to be the natural outcome of the affection that existed between them. Miss Makeever is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Makeever, of Newton township,'and until last year, she was a member of the Rensselaer high school.

The Republican was unable to learn all the minute details connected with the romance, as the parents of the youthful couple have not received much enlightenment. Miss Makeever had been entertaining Miss Elizabeth Dixon, of Rossville, 111., for a few days and last Monday morning, when Mitjs Dixon left for her home, she decided she would accompany her as far as Chicago. This is, it is believed, a ruse that she and Bradford Poole had planned to elude any suspicion that their parents might have. It is presumed that Bradford .went to Chicago Sunday. Some of Miss Makeever’s girl friends intimated they knew of the approaching elopement but nobody knew for sure until Mrs. Makeever received a letter this mortfng from her daughter, announcing that she and Bradford were married at the home of a Methodist minister in Kankakee, 111. Mr. and Mrs. Poole left immediately on a honeymoon trip to Lawton, Okla., and it will probably be several days before tliey will return home to receive their parental blessings. There was never any personal objection to the match, but Mr. and Mrs. Makeever were anxious to give their daughter a generous education. As both Ruth and Bradford are very young it was their parents* desire that they defer any hasty step toward matrimony. It is not known what plans Mr. and Mrs. Poole have made for the future but it is probable that they will reside in Rensselaer. They have a great host of surprised but admiring friends here who will wish them much happiness.

Regular Organization Will Meet at Indianapolis to Adopt Platform And Name Candidates. The republican state convention will meet in Indianapolis next Tuesday, August 6th, to adopt a state platform and name candidates for state OfficesIt is quite probable that the platform will be almost as progressive as the one adopted by the new progressive party.

Cause of Delay of Monon Trains Here Wednesday.

Delphi Journal. Trains on both the Monon and Wabash railroads after nine o’clock Wednesday, were held up all day when an east bound Wabash freight, with the blocks set against it, was derailed in froht of the tower here. The Wabash road bed was torn up for several hundred feet and the new Wabash freight engine, lying on its side, projected just far enough over the switch to prevent Monon trains from passing. The derailing occurred about B:3ff in the morning, just after the plug had passed, setting the blocks. The fireman on the 'Wabash engine claimed that the road was clear although the towerman made certain of the signal before he threw the train from the track.

There is a way to provide against all such contingencies. The Northwestern Mutual will step in with a check when you have clashed in yours.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY IN STATE CONVENTION.

New Political Party Will Name State Ticket and Adopt Platform in Meeting at Tomlinson Hall. Two moose heads adorn Tomlinson Hall, where the new progressive party will hold its state convention in Indianapolis today. According to the Indianapolis Star, the organ of the progressives in the state, a big crowd from all over Indiana was on hand for the convention. The convention hall opened at 8:30 o’clock. The band concert began Git 9. At 10 Edwin M. Lee called the convention to order. Then Frederick K. Landis, of Logansport, a former congressman, who had been agreed upon as 'the temporary chairman, began his “keynote” speech. The transaction of the 'convention business followed. It is quite probable that former senator Albert J. Beveridge will be named for governor and that Frederick Landis will be named for lieutenant governor. A full list of the state officers were on hand Wednesday and will be named. The convention seemed to be entirely harmonious At the outset and most of the planks in the platform will conform to the plans of the national convention to be held next week in Chicago, as outlined by Theodore Roosevelt and his advisors. Equal suffrage for women and men will be advocated and the initiative and referendum will also be provided for. The -only annoyance seems to be the county option plank, there being some delegates on hand who were desirous of having that in the platform. Others did not favor it and others saw a means at dodging it by claiming that the initiative and referendum would care for the issue without special attention. Rudolph G. Leeds, of Richmond, who iS a delegate to the copvention and who is a member of the resolutions committee, said at a meeting of the sixth district delegates Wednesday evening that he would refuse to serve on the committee if the county option plank was to be Mr. has' long been a close friend of Beveridge and is supposed to have expressed the convictions of the former senator.
