M. E. Brotherhood Gives Farewell Reception to Leaving Families.

The members of the Men’s Brotherhood of the M. E. church gave an elaborate banquet Wednesday evening, inviting their wives and other friends as guests. The occasion was a farewell reception to Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Allman and Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Davis and their families, who are planning shortly to leave Rensselaer. Mr. Allman and family will go to Ashland, Oregon, where he has purchased a fruit farm, and Mr. Davis and family will move to Greencastle, Ind., where their daughter, Miss Ethel, will attend DePauw University. About 130 persons were present and all enjoyed Immensely the fine dinner and the program that had been arranged. After the feast the evening was giVeif* over to toasts that were responded to with much zest by men representative of the civic and religious activities of our community. Five speeches were given and all gave expression to the feeling of deep regard and high estimation in which the guests of honor are held among the people Of this community. They were brimming over with compliments that were not undue. All speeches rang clearly with an earnestness and sincerity that could not be mistaken and gave voice to a general feeling of regret that prevails among our people on account of their removal. J. J. Hunt was the first to respond, speaking at length of the financial condition of the church and commending the wisdom and diligence of the building committee through the efforts of which is largely due the successful termination of the plans for remodeling and rebuilding of the church. H. L. Brown then spoke on “Our Loss to . the Church,” followed by I. N. Warren, who spoke on “Our Loss to the Sunday School.” G. F. Meyers was then given the floor and he chose for his talk, “Our Loss to the Community.” His discourse was very interesting and pleasing and the sentiments he expressed throughout his talk were voicings of the thoughts of the community as welK" As a token of esteem, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Allman, and the Misses Eiline and Florence Allman were recipients of beautiful souvenir spoons bearing the engraving of the M. E. church. These were the gifts of the Womans Foreign Society and the Epworth League, respectiveuy. The occasion was dignified by a very appropriate presentation by Mrs. A. A. Fell. Mrs. Allman and Mrs. Davis also received elegant souvenir spoons from the Womans Home Missionary Society at their picnic supper held Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs W. H. Parkison. Each spoon bears the insignia W. H. M. S. on the handle. Mr. and Mrs. Allman and family and Mr. and Mrs. Davis and family have expressed their great appreciation of the kindness Bhotvn them and in a way they feel much reluctance in leaving Rensselaer.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1912.

L. D. CAREY NOMINATED FOR STATE SENATOR.

Monticello Attorney Defeated Starke County Man by Fraction of Tote at Convention Held Here. L. D. Carey, an able young attorney of White county, was named today by the republicans of the senatorial district composed of Jasper, White, Starke and Newton counties, as their candidate. It required two ballots to settle the contest and the race was very close between Mr. Carey and Lee M. Ransbottom, of Starke county. Abraham Halleck, who is the present senator from the district, was not at the convention, having been in attendance at the hearing before the railway commission at Wheatfteld. He had not authorized the presentation of his name to the convention but there were a large number of the delegates who would have supported him had he been a pronounced candidate and without knowing whether or not he wished the nomination, C. G. Spitler placed his name before the convention. The first ballot resulted: Halleck 8.47; Ransbottom 9.44; Carey 16.09. Total vote 34; necessary to choice a fraction over 17. Mr. Spitler then withdrew the name of Senator Halleck and on the next ballot Carey nominated. The vote resulted as follows: Carey 17.25; Ransbottom 16.75. The counties voted as follows: Carey Ransbottom Jasper ...2.25 5.75 Newton 8 4 Starke _ 7 White 12 Total .' 17.25 16.75 When Chairman, Warner had announced the result of the vote, anff declared Mr. Carey the nominee, Mr. Ransbottom moved that the nomination be made unanimous and Mr. Carey was called upon and made a short talk to the convention, in which he pledged his best efforts to be elected. He said that he would do all in his power to secure his own election and the advancement of the principles of republicanism. “During this race,” he said, “I will consider myself as a public servant, realizing that the offflce for which you have nominated me is an important one for the people and I shall never lose sight of the fact that the people want a representative, not a man of selfish motives. I realize at the outset that I will have a fight but I will try to win by all honorable means. lam a progressive republican and hold that the party is a progressive one and has never failed to respond to the needs and demands of the people and I am for a continuance of this loyalty to their interests first, last and all the time. I hope to merit the support of you all and of all citizens whose faithful servant I pledge myself to be if chosen.” The convention was delayed a short time in starting in order to allow the White county delegation to conclude a caucus. There were firee active candidates before the convention from that county, viz. T. F. Palmer, George W. Kassabaum and Jas. M. Mcßeth. The caucus was held for the purpose of determining which one would have the support of the county. In a ballot taken L. D. Carey, who had not been a candidate, was given 3 of the 12 votes, and on the next ballot he was unanimously endorsed by his home county. The convention was called to order by C. C. Warner, chairman of the Jasper county committee. On motion of W. O. Thomas, chairman of White county, Mr. Warner was made permanent chairman. George H. Healey was made secretary. No contests were reported. The following committee on resolutions was named: Fred Longwell, of Newton; A. K. Sills, Jr., bf White; H. R. Koffel, of Starke, and George H. Healey, of Jasper. The following resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted: YOur resolutions committee begs leave to submit the following report: We heartily endorse the administration of William Howard Taft, feeling that hjls record .has evidenced a high degree of administrative ability and clear, patriotic and able discharge of all the grave duties entailed in the discharge of national affairs, and we heartily pledge our most earnest support for his re-election. We endorse both the national and state platforms of the republican party and especially do we endorse the plank fit the state platform endorsing county local option and pledge the nominee of this convention to its loyal support in "the legislature. » We commend the the record of Congressman Edgar Dean Crumpacker and feel assured that the voters of the 13th district will join with the

THE WAY JUSTICE IS ADMINISTERED IN MONON.

A vara clous Squire Forced to Reimburse Rensselaer Boys Whom He “ Had Overcharged. The two Rensselaer young men who were “booted” off a train atMonon several weeks ago and arrested for disorderly conduct, intoxication and various other charges, have been thinking the matter over and finally decided they were “stung.” It will be remembered that 11 a large crowd had gathered on .the depot platform at Monon when they were arrested, and that in order to escape the gaze of the curious townspeople, they paid the fines, amounting to $17.15 each, inflicted by Squire Catlin, and left immediately in an automobile for Rensselaer. The interference with their personal liberty did not suit the boys and when they were soaked $17.15 each by the grasping Monon justice of the peace they declared they had been woefully and illegally wronged. Accordingly they stated their case to Attorney W. H. Parkinson and hired him to investigate the matter and to collect overcharges made by Geo. L. Catlin, the Monon justice of the peace. Attorney Parkinson found that the boys had been overcharged $19.20 and wrote to Catlin demanding a settlement. Catlin returned $9.60, half of the amount, specified in the original demand and was ready to let the matter drop. On a further request from Attorney Parkinson, however, he returned the remaining half of the demand and thusly the controversy was ended. He made little attempt to defend his action. In the first letter he stated that the boys left town before he could get the costs figured up accurately. In the last letter he stated that under the existing circumstances it would be much more convenient to pay the claim in full, as his wife was sick at the time and he couldn’t leave home, and besides he did not have the time to make a defense (which would mean the expense of an attorney in the face of certain defeat). No doubt, from now on, the Monon official will use a little more discrimination in the selection of his victims. He probably thought, as the fellows seemed “jagged,” that he would never see them again, and so decided to sting them for all he could get The best of men will err in their judgment.

voters of the 10th in the endorsement of his brilliant record as a statesman. We heartily endorse the nomination of Winfield T. Durlbin to head the Indiana state republican ticket, and knowing that the administration of the business affairs of the state from 1901 to 1905, when he was governor, were both able and economic, we look with confidence upon the judgment of the voters of the state, believing that he will be Returned to the governorship, there to correct much of the reckless extravagance caused by democrats during the past four years. We adopt the eagle as the party emblem and empower the county chairman of this Senatorial District to fill any occupancy that may occur on the ticket. The call of counties was then made and A. Halleck, of Jasper; Lee M. Ransbottom, of Starke, ibid L. D. Carey, of White, were placed in nomination. The result of ,the balloting is reported above. One of the interesting oocurrances of the convention was the speech of Editor John L. Moorman, of Knox, in nominating Mr. Rasmussen, who is a quite young man, although he has served two terms as auditor of Starke county. A. K. Sills, Jr., also rpade a good speech in nominating Mr. Carey. The convention was a mighty good one, with a large number of enthusiastic and loyal republicans in attendance and they report in all cases a growing loyalty to the party. For the most part those who are annexing themselves with the bull moose party are disgruntled because of some personal disappointment or are men who have not supported the party with very great loyalty in the past. A noticeable thing in the convention was the number of young men. *Mr. Carey should make a fine candidate. He was in the same class with Attorney George A. Williams, of Rensselaer, in the Valparaiso law school and they graduated the same year and "have since been close friends. Mr. Carey located in Monticello at’ the same time Mr. Williams located here and the latter took considerable interest in his nomination. Mr. Carey is a good, clean, upright man with truely progressive ideas of legislation and we are pleased to tell our readers and the republicans of the county that he is worthy of their fullest support and endorsement

Twenty-Five Girls Open Camp At the Babcock Farm.

Dauntless, persevering and decided, in spite of the rain and regardless of all obstacles, with the elements against them and opposed by the cooler judgment of their sedate parents, about 25 young girls, swathed in endless yards of blankets and the like, left for Parr today, being driven out on hay ladders by one of J.

Lightning Fires Barns Belonging To Ex-Congressman Landis.

Two large barns were destroyed Tuesday afternoon at the farm of Charles Landis, five miles west of Delphi. The fire was caused by lightr ning, which struck one of the barns, setting it afire and the blaze spreading to the other barn, which was but a short distance away. The fire department of Delphi was notified and made a quick run to the scene, but were too late to do much good. Farmers and neighbors formed a bucket brigade which did good work, but were unable to stop the conflagration. The Landis farm was at one time owned by Elias Ray.
