The Evening Republican.

Would Like to Have H. W. Marble for County Commissioner.

Friends of H. W. Marble, of Wheatfteld, are urging him for the republican nomination for commissioner of the northern district of Jasper county, and say that there is not another, man in that, district that could get as many votes. “Buzz” is a'good business man, a plain type of citizenship in which the people have confidence and the square toed sort that would fill the office with honor to himself and much good to his’constituents. The mention of his name lias caused much favorable comment and his friends say that he will make the race. While it is some time before the county convention will be held politics are beginning to loom up a little and this is quite proper as there i is nothing so certain as a factor in securing the best man for office as that of giving the people plenty of time to consider the worth of the candidates. The county oiganization will come soon and the district convention will be held on Feb. 10th and it is probable that the county convention for the .nominating of a ticket will be called before a great while. *

ROWLES & PARKER SELL ENTIRE STOCK

D. A. Kloethe, of Piper Oity, 111., Expert in Rapid Sales, Will Start Big Sale. j Rowles & Parker, who" suffered a fire loss two weeks ago last Sunday, have had their insurance adjusted and have sold their entire stock to D. A. Kloethe, of Piper City, IIL, an expert in fire and forced sales, and he and three sistants are 'now in charge and preparing to inaugurate a big fire sale to start Friday of this week. Mr. Kloethe almost three years ago bought and closed out the E. V. Ransford stock and it will ,be recalled that everything went with a big rush. That will be the case with this sale. Prices have been cut to a point that should make everything sell and as there is little or no damage to practically all of the stock, except the prejudice that might attach to it, there will be great values and immense crowds are expected to come here for the sale. The Republican is printing 10,000 Jdlls and these will be circulated throughout the surrounding country. The offer to reimburse ail with railroad fare who come in by rail and buy $25 worth of merchandise is expected to bring many from out of town. The Rowles & Parker stock invoiced in excess of $40,000 and the fact that the store carried high class merchandise will cause a big rush for the fire sale bargain counter. The sale will take place in the old stand, repairs being deferred until the stock can be disposed of. Mr. Kloethe has assured the former owners that he will push the sale with such vigor that it will not be long until the remodeling can be started and then Rowles & Parker will re-enter business with not an article of old stock on hand. The remodeling plans for the store assure that it will be one of the best store rooms outside the largest cities of the state. At this time a 'guess can not be made as to what time will he required to dispose of the great stock, but indications are that Rensselaer will he fairly overrun with buyers at the very outset of the sale.

Story of the Miracle.

Here is the story of The Miracle, as taken from one of the “Legends of Long Ago,” written by Gottlieb Keller, called the Shakespeare of short stories. In the peaceful shade of an ancient cloister there lives a pure and beautiful girl, Beatrice. In the old church there stands a miraculous statue of the Madonna, clothed in rich and precious robes, and is the object uof pilgrimages from all parts of the world. Now, one day there appeared a handsome, well-dressed knight, who forthwith becomes entranced with Beatrice, but dares not speak to her. A few days later, however, while enjoying the hospitality of her companions, he contrives to tell Beatrice of the gay and lively world without and invites her to come and drink of the cup of pleasure. At first he is met with resistence; but finally, upon enticing her outside the sheltering doors, he seizes her and carries her to his castle. Having left the protection of her friends and church, she gradually weakens and falls before the tempter. Meanwhile, the Miraculous Statue, unwilling that disgrace should fall upon her friends, has descended from the pedestal and assumed the appearance of the faithless Beatrice. The fame of the Statue has suffered no harm, as the pilgrims fail to miss it. Now we must return jto Beatrice, who has plunged into the mftd Whirlpool of worldly pleasure. She had loved the young knight, but aiaisu she finds that men betray! As a last resort to retrieve his heavy losses at the gaming table, he gambles with a baron guest for the possession of the girl and loses. She is forcibly carried away to a castle, where she meets with many thrilling adventures. After trying to kill the man who won her at dice, she has a thrilling escape, aided by the old gate warden, only to fall into the hands of a band of robbers. The leader is entranced by her sweetness and beauty and offers to shield her. She pleads, for the liberation of the gate warden, who was also captured. The captain of the outlaws releases him and also offers her freedom if she does not wish to stay. Touched by his manly words, Beatrice decides to remain. The old warden returns to the knight and implores hjm to rescue Beatrice. Now ensues a long and fierce battle between the knights and outlaws, In whiah both leaders are slain. With a heavy heart the repentant girl is led back to her' peaceful cloisters, the Statue is again enthroned, and quiet, peace and happiness once more reign supreme. At Princess Theatre Thursday evening, January 22nd.

ROWLES & PARKER.

Rumors of jealousies resulting from the alleged attentions of a prominent fanner north of town to another's wife have been afloat in Rensselaer for several days and it is stated that a hair pulling affair that would have made a splendid picture film resulted.
