The Monon will run another excursion to Chicago on Sunday, August 25. The train will start at Greencastlq and arrive here at 9:15 a. m., Rensselaer being the last stop. The base ball attraction will be the Cub® vs. Boston. Round trip fare only 75 cents.— Governor Marshall, as a vice-presi-dential candidate, is to stump Maine during the fall. Two years ago Maine almost went over into the saloon ranks and it is probable that the democrats of Maine who favor the restoration of saloons have heard of Candidate Marshall’s success as a saloon booster and want him to put the finishing touches on brewery domination in Maine. If the governor succeeds In double-shuffling there as well as he did in Indiana, he should prove effective for that purpose, for here he made temperance democrats believe he was for temperance and at the same time blinked so assuringly at the saloon interests that be' was After his election, however, he proved his real friendship for the brewer, the retail liquor dealer, the • gambler and the prizefighter. Maine is a little state and our little governor should be able'td' lower its standard of morality .quite effectively with a few speeches telling of things he has done in Indiana.

Jacob Wagner, of Carpenter township, has purchased the yt. H. Mackey property in the east part of town and will move here. The ladies of the M. E. church will hold their monthly 10-cent social at the church Tuesday afternoon, August 13th. A musical program has been arranged. Everyone cordially invited.^ Mrs. Julia A. Healey was taken quite seriously sick Sunday at the home of her son on Cullen street and for some time seemed in a quite critical condition. Today she is considerably improved, although she continues quite weak. ■ Walker Timmons and family of Otterbein, visited Conrad Schafer, south of town, Sunday. Enos Timmons and wife, of Plymouth, who have been visiting here, accompanied them home for a short visit before returning to their home. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Mills came yesterday from Muncie for a short visit here. Tomorrow they will leave for Ottawa, 111., to visit relatives and will then go to Mitchell, S. Dak., to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Porter. Emery will be away two weeks, while Mrs. Mills will remain for a longer visit. M B. Price has been given the appointment of superintendent of the construction of the Borntrager ditch. The argument for a hew trial will be made at the September term of the circuit court before Special Judge Hanan, who will return for that purpose. Failing to get it, it is certain that there will be a number of appeals, which will considerably delay the construction. ‘Take out my ad,” said A. E. Wallace Saturday evening, “it has accomplished the mission.” Mr. Wallace spent a quarter to advertise a team of ponies, a set of harness and two cows. All were sold two days after the ad appeared. We suggest that no one should sell without first advertising. Often you can get a much better price by finding just the buyer who wants what you have to sell very badly. Harry Green’s new show “The Town Fool,” is one of those plays that is out of the ordinary and to make it a go Mr. Green has engaged the best talent' that money can get. In the first place there is special scenery for each act, and during the action of the play there will be introduced specialties, dancers and singers who are the creme de ment of Their profession. One of the features is the Polar Bear, played by Floyd Warner, who has the distinction of being an exceptionally clever buck and *wing dancer.

“The People are coming,” the new play written by Frederick Landis, of Logansport, who was nominated for lieutenant-governor on the Bull Moose ticket, will be seen in Logansport later in the season. Mr. Landis had made arrangements with Liebler & Co., the producers, for one week’s performance in Logansport, either during the Chicago run or just after it. Rehearsals are scheduled to begin in New York this week. Richard % Bennett, formerly of Logansport, a warm personal friend of the author, his been secured for the lead. Mr, Bennett is recognized as one of the best actors in the country and his selection for the leading character has greatly pleased Mr. Landis. In discussing the play and Bennett, the playwright said that Mr. Bennett is ideally suited for the part which he is to portray. It is not believed that many republicans when they consider how excellent the times of the present and how devoutly pledged the republican party is to their continuance will desprt this regular school of federal treatment and Identify themselves with the patent medicine advocated by Roosevelt and the platform he has provided as a remedy for a patient that has given no indications of needing the treatment. Men who have been republicans for years, men who have fought and won and fought and lost and been republicans all the time, should hesitate a long time before going over to a new party founded on disappointment and personal ambition. There was a time sixteen years ago when William Jennings Bryan made his remarkable “cross of gold and crown of thorns” . speech in Chicago that many republicans in Jasper county were about to desert the old ship, but moßt all of them came back and helped to strengthen Ahe gold standard and to accomplish so much in progressive legislation for the country/ The progress in sixteen years has been marvelous and the party is still for progress, still for an unfaltering advance toward higher and better living, toward increased opportunity for the plain citizenship of America. It needs the help of the most progressive of its members and they should be active wflhin it and not in an effort to destroy it. Let us try no patent medicines on the government at a time when it is robust in health and prosperity and when the regular family physician has such full knowl. edge pi its needs. \
