VICE PRESIDENT SHERMAN IS LOW Doctor Says That He May Not Last Long—Suffering From Kidney and Artery Diseases. Vice President James Schoolcraft Sherman lies quite low at his tome in Utica, N. Y., and his doctor holds out no hope for his recovery. Hg has kidney trouble and a hardening of the arteries and a softening of the muscles of the heart. Since August his condition has been aggravated and he has been steadily failing. Monday he passed 'a bad day but rallied somewhat in the evening. v In the event of death, it is probable that the republican national committee or the executive committee would name a running mate for President Taft. 'Some say that should his death occur either before or after the election the electors would have power to vote for any person whom they might favor. , ,

Morgan is a Beal Football Star —Praised by The Star. John Morgan, who is called “Pete’ by his college friends at Butler and by the Indianapolis newspapers, was the real star in last Saturday’s game with Earlham. The Indianapolis Star publishes his picture in the act of making a punt and below it the following: Butler has a football star of whom it well may be proud. He is one of the grittiest players who ever donned the moleskins and as fast as they grow. “Pete” Morgan, the wonderful half back of the local college team, made them all sit up and take notice in the game against Earlham last Saturday One of his teammates asserted that his work was little short of marvelous. He tore off one long run after another and dodged tacklers for many substantial gains. His long runs wbre material factors in both his team’s touchdowns and after*the last marker he added two points by kicking goal. His play has been the one particular bright spot in the work of the local eleven.

“A Royal Slave” Will Be Next Attraction at Ellis Theatre. Of the many plays produced during the past ten years, none has attracted more wide-spread attention or received warmer praise than Clarence Bennett’s great romantic drama of Old Mexico, “A Royal Slave,” which comes to the Ellis Theatre for one night, Wednesday, Oot. 30. Its freshness and real genuine worth commend it to every admirer of all that is good and wholesome in play-buildings. The fact that this sterling drama is still everywhere receiving high-water mark patronage is creditable alike to the author, Clarence Bennett, and to,its manager, Geo. H. Bubb, to the excellent company presenting it and to the amusement loving public. “A Royal Slave” has entered upon its tenth year of astonishing success, playing everywhere to capacity audiences. There is only one reason for such phenominal patronage, and that is that the play strikes a responsive chord in the hearts and minds of everybody, either of serious note or jollity, or of the sweeter tone of love—so that each auditor finds something to his or her peculiar taste or fancy. The scenic investure this season is entirely new and the costuming as usual is elegant. The cast is what it always has been —first class —and is headed again by those capable artists, Walter Hubbell and Irene Solomon.—Adv. — rVernon B. Marshall* Married At Medford, Oreg., Oct 20th. The writer is in receipt of an announcement of the marriage of Vernon B. Marshall, which occurred at Medford, Oreg., Oct. 20, 1912. The bride was Miss Lois Isabel Fansher, daughter of Mrs. Isabel Fansher. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall will be at home after November Ist at Medford Oreg. Vernon Marshall is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Marshall, formerly of this city. J;andy Magee, who had a bad fall while testing the Are escape at the Makeever house yesterday afternoon 1 , was taken to the hospital and will remain there until the extent of his injuries are ascertained. So far the doctors have not discovered any broken bones for certain. He is badly bruised about the head and left shoulder and is in a great deal of pain. The doctors are simply awaiting developments. It looks favorable for his recovery now, but every one is wondering how it was that he was not killed outright. Two boys who weft playing at the house where Dean Merica formerly lived found his pocketbook containing $9, which he had believed to have been stolen from his pocket one nigh! five or six weeks ago. Probably Dean had dropped the purse the day before.

L Win. H. Groendyk, Independent Candidate for State Senator Believes in agricultural ascendency and justice to the farmers. Believes in primary election, that every voter may have a vote to select a candidate for office. The conventions of today are controlled by the political bosses and ought to be disposed of. It would be a proud act in fixy career to see every laborer in this glorious state should have his pay every week. I would do all that is within my power to see the legislature assemblies to give expression to the will of the people. The law that created the office of state examiners of public accounts should be repealed. The law of so-called legal advertising should be materially modified. Our road and drainage funds need curative amendments. The methods of conducting county and township business have become unreasonable, expensive and should be Changed in many respects and all faithless servants should be recalled if the election, of candidates is left to the bosses, a corporation or clique. No set of men under the sun so selected good enough to give wholehearted services to their constituents. I believe to promote great brotherhood of mankind. —Wm. H. Groendyk, on Agricultural Ascendency Ticket. —Adv. New Suits Filed. Bell Marlin vs. Stephen Marlin, suit for divorce.v Bprniece M. Clark vs. Marion M. Ocher, et al; foreclosure of mortgage. Esta L.
