ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCALS. Van Norman, who attended the funeral . yesterday of his grandfather, Joshua C. Norman, left today for a short visit at Winona Lake before returning to Detroit, Mich.; where he has been working for the past two months as assistant heardsman for the Snell Creamery Co. The R-C-H cars are equipped with demountable rims and an extra rim is furnished without extra charge with each car. This makes it possible for A lady to take a tour alone with pleasure, as she does not have to worry over the prospect of a blown out tire. Word was received here yesterday from Middletown, Ind., that John Duvall, driving his trotter, Hattie Vest, won first money in a race- there Wednesday. She was marked at a 2:22 trot, but she showed up so well that he will race her in the 2:18 class the remainder of the week. The stake in Wednesday’s race was SSOO. Paul Glazebrook, son of Lee Glazebrook, of north of town, a graduate this year of Purdue University, was informed today that he had received the appointment as professor of mathematics and mechanical drawing in the Galesburg, 111., high school. The city of Galesburg has a population of 21,000 and Paul is to be congratulated on receiving the appointment. Dr. and Mrs. M. D. Gwin motored to Valparaiso yesterday, where the doctor attended the meeting of the tenth district medical society. He was in the afternoon and evening of the the only physician in the southern part of the district, including Benton, Newton and Jasper counties, to be in attendance. There were about fifty members present.

The Presbyterian picnic, which was held in Kanne’s grove yesterday, was a great success. The entertainment committee provided a generous diversity of amusements and all enjoyed a good time. Though the threatening rain put a stop to the ball game, the picnickers, after a short caucus, decided to eat as they felt it their duty to do so. As usual, those present proclaimed the dinner to be the best thing on the program. In connection with the social operations of the salvation army Mr. Wilfred Hughes, supported by Senator A. Halleck, will deliver a lecture at the opera house Saturday, August 3. This will be a very interesting occasion for those interested in the problems of the submerged tenth of our large city. Mr. Hughes takes for his subject the “Down and Out.” Socialism a subterfuge and futile element in bettering his conditions.

Mr. and Mrs. D. F. S. Barkley arrived here yesterday from their home in Little River, Kans., and will remain here for about weeks, visiting with Ezra Clark and family and other friends. Mr. Clark and Mr. Barkley were comrades in the Civil war, both having been members of the 9th Indiana Regiment, known as the “Bloody 9th.” Mr. and Mrs. Barkley will visit at various cities in Wisconsin before returning to their home.

“The best dog show” to be seen anywhere was the verdict of thdse attending the Gayety last evening. Prof. Stockton’s wonderful performing dogs are the talk of the town. They are almost human and a whole circus in themselves. Their tricycle riding is wonderful as are many of their other acts. Go and see these intelligent little dogs. Take the children with you, and if you are not perfectly satisfied your money willy be refunded. The pictures last night were especially good, and equally as good ones are promised for this evening. Go to The Gayety.

Elsewhere in this issue is a summary of the Taft side of the story about the “frauds” in the Chicago convention. It is an account of proceedings which from necessity must be Judged upon hearsay evidence, the mass of the public having no personal knowledge' of the facts. The Taft version is at least entitled to a hearing and certainly to as much credence as the version of the other side. A reading of this statement signed by the chairmen of the national committee and the credentials committee, before w’hom these contests were alj threshed out, and by Chairman Hilles of the present national committee, will convince the candid reader that the cry of “theft” “burglary” and “fraud” has, to say the least overworked. On the ground that ‘fall is fair in war,” this cry has been used to inflame and prejudice the public mind, with the purpose of defeating the nominee of the convention. There is really no more ground for it than there was four years ago, or in fact in any national convention where the nomination has hinged upon the decision of contests? i - Get the “Classified Ad” habit and get rid of the things you don’t need. You will find that there is some good money in a judicious use of The Republican's classified column. «
