LONGWELL ELECTED BY 135 MAJORITY

Carried Newton County by 236 and Lost Jasper by 101—Was Strong In Home Town. Fred Longwell was re-elected prosecuting attorney of the Jasper-Newton judicial circuit over Arthur Tuteur, of Rensselaer. Each candidate ran strong at home and while Jasper county gave Tuteur, democrat, a majority of 101 .votes, Newton county gave Longwell, republican, a majority of 236, making Longwell’s majority in the two counties, 135. Mr. Longwell is the superintendent of the Brook schools and is a mighty popular man at his home. He not only received the support of all the republicans and progressives there but also some fifty of the democrats voted for him and in Iroquois township he received 315 votes, to 87 for Tuteur. Mr. Longwell is an able and conscientious officer and ran in two counties that are ordinarily strong republican. The Newton County Enterprise says of his election: “Prosecuting Attorney Longwell emerges from the landslide with a tight grip on the office he has digni fled by efficient service.”

IROQUOIS PEARL BROUGHT A THOUSAND

Walter Schreiner Took It to New York After Refusing Offer of SBO6 In Chicago. Walter Schreiner, of Sandwich, 111., who with his brother,. Lester, spent the month of September hunting for pearls in the Iroquois river near the .fay Lamson farm, has Just returned from a trip to New York City, where he sold the largest pearl for SI,OOO. He had refused SBOO for it in Chicago In a letter to his sister, Mrs. George McElfresh, of Barkley township, he stated that he would be in Rensselaer in a few days to superintend the shipment of the clam shells, of which the brothers have about 20 tons. Mr. Schreiner*, took a number ol smaller pearls to New York with him arid it is expected that he sold these also, but what he received for them is not known. It is interesting to know that an Iroquois river pearl brought so large a price. The success the Schreiners had in pearl hunting Is apt to inspire a number to engage in the business another year, but they might spend the summer in hunting and not find another jewel as fine as the oner that brought the SI,OOO.

CRUMPACKER BEATEN. BY J. B. PETERSON

Tippecanoe County Gave Plurality of 1,073 For Democratic Nominee For Congress. 'I From the published returns of all counties in the 10th congressional district it appears that Congressman Crumpacker was beaten by John B. Peterson by a plurality of 1,102. The vote by counties is as follows: Counties Peterson Crumpacker Benton 286 Newton 104 White 409 Tippecanoe .;.. 1,073 Jasper 31 Lake .. 97 Porter 246 Warren 396 1,872 770 Peterson’s plurality, 1,102. John P. Bowers, the progressive candidate, did not receive a plurality in any county and his total vote was less than one-half that of Congressman Crumpacker. Bowers was strongest in the Gary steel district. In Tippecanoe county the progressives gave Bowers 2,179 votes, Beveridge 2,942; those who left Bowers, largely voted for Peterson. Down there, it was anything to defeat Crumpacker. The state senatorial district went democratic by 637. Jasper County was the only one that returned a plurality for L. D. Carey! of Montleejlo. The vote was as follows: Jasper cmmty for Carey 86; White for McCormick 230; Newton for McCormick 68; Starke' for McCormick 425. The total progressive vote in the four counties was less than a third of Mr. Carey’s vote.

CASE OF SCARLET FEVER QUARANTINED

Basil Leech, 18 Years of Age, Probably Contracted the Disease While 1 In Illinois. _____ t Basil Leech, 18 years of age, is quarantined at the home of his mother, Mrs. Alex. Leech, on West Vine street with scarlet fever. He is considerably broken out and has quite a little fever. Last Sunday Basil and his mother returned from a visit with relatives in Ford county. 111. While there a child in the family they were visiting was taken sick and the physician pror nounced the disease scarletina. Mrs. Leech and son did not regard the child’s sickness as serious and had no fear of contracting the disease. Physicians here do not recognize anything as scarlet fever. The disease Is simply a mild form of scarlet fever. Basil worked at the Home Grocery until Thursday evening and returned to his home feeling about as usual. During the night his fever rose and the eruption occurred. A physician was called and promptly diagnozed the case as scarlet fever and placed it under quarantine. Oscar "Leech, an older brother, who works at Werner’s tailor shop, was also placed under quarantine. He had slept with Basil last night. There is reported to be much scarlet fever and diphtheria at Watseka, 111., and the football game which Rensselaer had scheduled with that city lor Saturday was canceled on that account. Ford county adjoins Iroquois county, in which Watseka is situated, on the west. The local piiysieians will take every precaution to prevent a spread of the contagion.

BEAT SUBSIDIES IN TWO TOWNSHIPS

Portelle Railroad Denied Aid By Sub* stantial Majorities in Carpenter and Jordan. “We don’t want your railroad” is the interpretation placed upon the vojes cast in Carpenter and Jordan on the proposition to vote a subsidy for the Northwestern Indiana Traction Co., commonly called the lu’telle railroad. While Hie peopie of Remington town votvl'for it the people outside the town, especially those in west Carpenter, voted against it. The vote as filed jvith the county auditor is as follows: CARPENTER TOWNSHIP. ... ' For Against East Precinct 85 84 West Precinct 51 111 South Precinct 81 78 .>- Total 217 273 JORDAN TOWNSHIP For Against 37 125 Mr. Purtelle was not grealy surprised at the result. He says he will not run his railroad to Remington now but will go from the south line of Marion township by the most direct route to Reynolds. The grading contract let some time ago to John Hack & Son, of Lowell, seemed to hinge upon the important point of the promotors having the , money in a Rensselaer bank on a certain day. The money was not there and Mr. Hack did not begin work. Since that time Mr. Wilson, the engineer, has not been in Rensaelaer and Mr. Purtelle only a part of the time The office quarters in the Roth block are maintained and a clerk, surveyor and another man employed. But they seem to be accomplishing nothing. Mr Purtelle insists that the railroad is going to be built and Rensselaer people keep telling him they Dope so. He went to Chicago yesterday, saying he would be back in a day or two.
