“MERRY MILKMAIDS” DELIGHTED AUDIENCE

High School Operetta Proved Splendid Entertainment—To Be Repeated Tonight.

A demand on time at The Republican office today prevents tan extended account of the presentation by the high school of the operetta, “The Merry Milkmaids,’”’ Tuesday evening, but we wish to impress all readers with the fact that it was a splendid success and that the large audience praised it as a whole and the work of the individual students in the highest terms. The operetta is entirely musical, consisting of solos, duets, quartettes and choruses and the well trained voices enabled the students to present the amusing opera in a most pleasing manner. The operetta is to be repeated again tonight and the attractive prices, 25 and 35 cents, should cause every seat in the house to be taken.

THE VOTE ON THE WALKER TP. ROADS

Five Propositions Combining Six Miles Carried by Substantial Varying Majorities.

Trustee Fred Karch, of Walker township, made a trip to Rensselaer Wednesday to file the results of the Walker township special election of last Saturday. The Louis Zick, et al, stone road petitions, were voted upon and all carried. The road totals six miles and was voted in five propositions, all on the same ballot. - The propositions were numbered from 1 to 5 and carried as follows: 1. Two miles on the east side, for 75, against 36. x 2. One mile on range line, for 74, against 36. 3. One mile on range line, for 76, against 36. 4. One mile at Kniman, for 96/ against 16. 5. One mile at Kniman, for 97, against 16. In all 120 votes were cast, -but some were lost by mutilation. The Kniman voters are alleged to have supported their own road but to have voted against the improvement affecting other parts of the township, while the north and east eaders voted straight for the roads. Since all carried so substantially, however, it don’t make any difference.

Pedestrian’s Paragraphs.

According to Washington dispatches, President Wilson refused to send a special message to congress urging the passage of a law to grant votes to women. The substance of his reply to a delegation of the National Womans Suffrage Association who visited him in the interest of such an action was that he is the spokesman of a political party and, as such,. Will not force, by special message, his personal views upon the attention of congress. He favors, however, a standing committee in the house of representatives to look after the matter.

A seriohs accident occurred near Frankfort; Ind. The hack that conveys school children from Michigantown to Frankfort was struck Monday morning by a Cloverleaf’engine as the hack was about to cross the track, about two miles west of Michigantown. The hordes were killed, the driver so seriously injured that he will probably die, three of the children badly hurt, the rest more or less injured, and all very much frightened. There were fifteen Children in the hack at the time and had the hack been but a few feet farther along many of them would most surely have been killed.

4HHI Lafayette, according to the Lafayette Morning Journal, is having an awakening along civic reform lines. This is due to the report of work done during the last or past year by a civic organization which is in some way connected with the Chamber of commerce. A mass meeting was held Monday evening at widen time the various committees of the organization gave reports of the work done and planned. These reports were listened to with eagerness'and they created considerable enthusiasm. _ Among the committees, which are eleven in number, are the following, and the names, in a measure, indicate the line of work prosecuted: transportation, production, market, education, public amusement, agriculture, fakers and fakes, legislature, and civic beauty. According to the report, as it appears in The Journal, a great deal has already been accomplished, especially in the way of beautifying the city, improving some of its streets, providing play grounds for the Children, protecting the city from fake frauds, attracting trade, etc. Why could not Renfr selaer have such an organization to its own material benefit?

RESULTS TELL

There Can Be No Doubt About the Results in Rensselaer. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Rensselaer citizen Can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? Mrs. F. W. Rutherford, College Ave., Rensselaer, Ind., says :“I have, no reason to alter my high opinion of Doan’s Kidney Pills which I publicly expressed some years ago. I have even greater confidence in this remedy than I did then, for I found it to be just as represented. I was badly in need of something that would relieve my suffering. My back ached most of the time and I felt languid and had no ambition. I had dizzy spells and headaches and there were many other symptoms of kidney trouble. When I read that Doan’s Kidney Pills were a good remedy for such complaints, I,procured a box at Fendig’s Drug Store and they brought prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I find that a few doses now and then keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and in each case the results have beers of the best.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
