Bull Moose Has Rival as Progressive Party Emblem.

Orange, N. J., Nov. 12.—Henry Clark, a local hunter, is appealing to his friends today to solve an odd puzzle which is amusing local political partisans. Clerk went hunting in the Orange mountains yesterday, the first day of the open season for rabbits, and came home with a large ’possum in his game bag. When he set out to prepare the ’possum for a roast he n found it had swallowed a celluloid button bearing a picture of Theodore Roosevelt on which was printed “Vote for Theodore Roosevelt for governor.” The button was evidently one used during Roosevelt’s gubernatorial campaign in New York state. Clark avers that the original Bull Moose must have been a ’possum.

TAKE NOTICE. We are all concerned in the building up of our Farm Community as well as our city, and feel by a little effort on our part we can have an intcrurban line connecting Rensselaer with Hammond and Chicago on the north; and a number of good towns and cities south, west and east of us. The president and manager, we understand, can be found at the Hotel Makeever, where he will be pleased to meet all citizens of Rensselaer that are interested and are willing to help build up their city and county, and will give personal attention to the organizing—an*L carrying out of the jffans to build the road at an early date. The population along the proposed line of railway is not numerous enough to make it a great success for the company without aid, and it will necessitate the company to ask the citizens of the cities and townships through which the railroad will pass, to vote, subsidies and give concessions that may become necessary that the building of the road may be assured. Those hack of the enterprise are paying their way and if met half way will without doubt make good. With them it is not a personal ntotter, but a business one. There is no question but what there should be a concerted action on the part of the citizens of Rensselaer and county at large to have this arilroad built.—Adv. . John Marlatt Now Sole Owner of Rensselaer Oarage. John W. Marlatt has purchased the interest of Schroer in the Rensselaer Garage and is now the sole owner and proprietor and will give the business his entire time. Mr. Schroer will sell Apperson automobiles and now has a new “Jack Rabbit” here for demonstration purposes..

The father is Tom Johnson, but (he was in the country. Priends took action and replied to the telegram and the body of the young coast artilleryman is now on its way to Pair Oaks for burial, where the funeral will be held soon after arrival.

News From Monticello and Vicinity From the Herald.

Dr. Grant Goodwin is among the speakers announced for the Tenth District tuberculosis conference at Gary next Saturday under the dt ruction of the state board of charities and corrections. Other speakers are l)r. J. N. Hurty, of Indianapolis, Ex-Senator Halleck, of Rensselaer, and John Ade, of Kentland. The next bar docket of the White circuit court will contain the name of a new law firm, Spencer, Hamelle & Cowger. The new member is Clarence R. Cowger, who has had his office with Spencer & Hamelle ever since he was admitted to the bar. His admission to the firm indicates that he has been making good. Suit was brought in the circuit court last week by the Indianapolis, Frankfort, Delphi & Chicago Traction Company to quiet title against John G. Beeghler to a strip of land wanted by the company for its right of way. It is .a strip 50 feet wide lying along a public highway northwest pf Frankfort. John B. Hemphill, an old resident of Wolcott, died at his home there Sunday at an advanced age. He was a charter member of the Wolcott Masonic lodge, and his funeral Tuesday w T as in charge of that order, W. H. Hamelle of this city conducting the ritual ceremony. Interment was made in the “Dobbins cemetery about five miles north of Wolcott. ' W. R. Warne has closed up his business as manager of the Monticello Ice Cream Company on account of unsatisfactory returns on .his investment and will take a rest. He concluded it was better to close while solvent than to continue at a loss. The Icecream part of the business was yielding a fair profit, but he 'says he could not compete with the large concerns in butter making. He may open up an exclusive icecream business later on.

Leonard Turner is passing through a siege of typhoid fever at the Methodist hospital In Indianapolis. His condition is serious, and his friends are very uneasy about him. He has a special nurse and if skilled treatment and careful nursing avail he will pull through. The jjvord received Tuesday evening was a little more favoralble than in the morning. He was still delirious but had been refreshed by deep and was able to take some nourishment. • "Tell Van Pelt,” says James Sprague, “that he has nothing on me when it comes to sleeping after greatness. He lodged in Gen. Rosecran’s old headquarters, but I si- pt in an old tavern at Washington where President Washington had slept.” Mr. Sprague probably can beat the record in another respect. He still has his black doeskin wedding coat and it is in good condition. It was made by Montlcello’s old-time tailor, W. B. Keefer, who was at high tide in business here about fifty years ago.

FURNITURE FACTORY MAY START HERE

Brokers in the Business Wily Start Factory and Look With Favor A At This City. •Rensselaer may yet have a factory and if the present plan works out the big building constructed by the match company may be used for the making of extension tables and ultimately of other articles of furniture. The proposition reached Rensselaer from two directions. In the first .place Charles E. Simpson learned from some source that fruniture jobbers at Anderson were contemplating starting a factory and- he reported the fact to Chas. G. Spitler, secretary of the commercial club. At about the same time the inforation came from H. R. Kurrie, who had some acquaintance with the factory people. Correspondence was started and resulted in a visit here over Wednesday night of Mr. K. B. McMahan, of Anderson, who came as a representative of the IPalmer Furniture Co. Mr. McMahan met D. M. Worland, president; Charles G. Spitler, secretary, and several members of the board of directors of the commercial club, and also a number of citizens, and all expressed themselves as heartily in accord with the plan pjoposed. Mr. McMahan is not asking any subsidy. All he eares for is the free use of the factory building, which the commercial club' foreclosed some time ago. It was proposed that when the factory had expended a certain amount of money in wages the buildings be given, just as the proposition had been to give to match company. Mr. McMahan states that his company has been engaged in the Wholesale business for some twelve years, but has in the manufacturing business, although Mr. Palmer, the head of the company, had experience in furniture manufacuring prior to engaging in the jobbing business. They do not find the jobbing business satisfactory because of the frequent delay in getting their stock from factories. Mr. McMahan states that all material used in the manufacturing business is shipped in, being purchased from the large lumber firms. To start with the company would manufacture extension tables exclusively, later enlarging the business to include library tables and chhirs.

The headquarters would at once be transferred to this city if the plan to start the factory here is carried out. Mr. Paler and Mr. McMahan and their families and the superintendent and his family would come here as soon as the plans were completed and this would also be the headquarters for the ten traveling salesmen now traveling for the company. When the factory machinery was installed it would give employment to quite a number of men, just how many, Mr. McMahan states, he does not know. Soane skilled furniture makers would be required and there would be a number of laborers employed. This proposition certainly looks good and Mr. McMahan left with a very favorable impression of the opening here and of the manner in which our people expressed themselves. His plan Is not to move a big factory here. His company has no factory, but it has a business and an outlet for Its product and there is a very fine possibility for its development and it seems quite probable that the factory may locate in this city.

SAYS OLD PARTY IS “COMING BACK”

State Chairman Sims Expresses Himself as Well Pleased With the Mayorality Elections. Chairman Fred Sims of the republican state committee thus summarizes the result of last week’s election in a letter dated last Saturday: “That the party is again coming into power and influence, there is no longer any doubt. : “In Indiana the republican elected 27 mayors of cities: the progressives 4; the citizens 16, and the democrats 46 on the returns to this time. “The tremendous increase in the republican vote and the decrease in the progressive vote, in practically every community where party tickets were in the field, is the chief feature of the returns. “In this city Mr. Bookwalter made a magnificent fight and while we all hoped for his election, yet his ancomplishment in the 'face of a very difficult situation was splendid. He not only has succeeded in placing the party ahead of the progressives, hut he has gained for it practically 11,000 votes since the election of 1912, this vote being approximately 5,000 in excess of that given to Gov. Durbin last fall, and Johnson’s vote being 6000 less than given to Senator Beveridge. Mr. Bookwalter certainly merits the commendation of ‘republicans in the state. "Outside of the state the returns from every section are very gratifying. The results in New York, New Jersey, and the cities of Pennsylvania and Ohio point with certainty as to the drift of public sentiment. The returns in New Jersey, where an active partisan fight was waged show tl*at the democratic vote fell off 10,000 as compared with that of last fall, and the republican vote gained from 88,000 to 142,000, the progressive vote cast in 1912 being 145,000 and on Tuesday 41,500, which tells its own story. “Comparisons in all of the congressional districts where elections have recently been held, together with those of Tuesday, show tremendously to the. advantage of the Republican party, both in* the matter of its positive gain as well as the great losses to our progressive friends.”
