Edgar Day and bride are expected to arrive today from Manor Station, Pa., and will make their future home in this city. Edgar is only 18 years of age and the first intimation that nis parents had of his marriage was contained in a letter that gave an account of their marriage. Miss Lola Fisher was the bride’s name. She is an orphan and Edgar had corresponded with her for some time before he had ever seen her. Recently he decided to pay her a visit. The result of the visit was their marriage. He will be associated with his father in the contracting business and is a young man of steady and exemplary habits.

"Lefty” Clark Joins Adrian Team of Michigan League.

Howard Clark left yesterday for =^^dr4sn-,Mie4fcvtfit^foiii_thfl.Ad.rian team of the Southern Michigan baseball league. The playing season does not open until April 29th, and the three weeks intervening will be'devoted to practice. “Lefty” has been unable to secure any practice so far this owing to the cold weather flbui the three weeks’ work should pul him into good shape. He proved an enigma to batters last year and is beyond doubt the cleverest pitcher who ever worked for Rensselaer. Many of the games won by the Athletics last year were pitchers’ battles in which he demonstrated his superiority. Not in a single game was he hard hit, while the games lost were generally because of a -bunch of costly errors. His friends here are expecting that he will make good and will watch the Southern Michigan league with interest. South Bend is now in that league and it Is probable that several will go there some time to witness a game when “Lefty” is at work. /

ALL VOTE AGAINST RAILROAD SUBSIDY

Jordan and Carpenter Townships, Jasper County, and Princeton in White, Against It.

The proposition to vote tax aid to the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. lost in Jordan and Carpenter townships, Jasper county, and in Princeton township, White coupty, at elections held Tuesday, April 7th. Before the result of the elections was known President Roberts of the projected interurban, had taken the evening train for Chicago and expected to go from there to Milwaukee. What effect the defeat of the subsidy proposition in the three townships will have on the building of the road we can not tell, but it is possible that with the big tax aid voted in Marion township, where the need of another railroad is greatly felt, may be sufficient to serve as a nucleus for the building of the road. The proposition lost in Jordan township by a majority of 3L in Carpenter township by 46 and in Princeton township, where Wolcott is located, by 84. Probably a factor in the negative vote given at Remington and Wolcott was the fact that another electric road project had been offered recently, promoters befcis in a scheme to finance a road from Logansport to Kentland.

If This Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Rensselaer You Might Doubt It.

' The average man is a doubter. This is not surprising—the public have been humbugged so frequently they are skeptical. Proof like the following will stand investigation. It cannot be disputed. Charles Malchow, Harvey St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney Complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. The small of my (back was the part most affected but often the pain- extended through my. shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago! learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Ftndlg’s Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills since then When having similar attacks and I never failed to get relief.” For sale by all dealers.

O’Bryne had the endorsement of President Wilson and able speakers for the administration spoke in his behalf, but the voters gave their support to Drukker.

DR. PAUL C. CURNICK AT ROBERTS’ TRIAL

Pastor of M. E. Church a Witness In Trial of Terre Haute Mayor— Donn M. Roberts. Dr. Paul C. Curnick, pastor since last September of Trinity M. E. church in this city, was called to Terre Haute Monday and there testified in the ease against Mayor Donn M. Roberts, charged with flection frauds. Dr. Curnick was for some time pastor of the First Methodist church at Terre Haute, where he was always in the thick of the fight against law violations. Dr. Curnick was called to Terre Haute to relate a scheme of politicaf sagacity on the part of Donn Roberts. Two of Roberts’ workers went to Rev. Curnick and urged him to run for mayor on either the prohi-, bition or independent tickets, claiming that they were in the election of some one who would clean up the tity and make it a good moral place to rear families. One of the men was John M. Roper and the other was a lawyer named Phil Long, who is now indicted for participation in the election frauds. Dr. Curnick was interested in the statements made by Roberts and Long and did not realize that they were trying to bring him out in order to split up the opposition to Roberts. He did not give their scheme to nominate him for mayor any great encouragement, but informed them that if they could secure a petition signed by 1,500 citizens asking that such a ticket be placed- in the field he would bring the matter to the attention of the Ministerial Association with a view to securing a candidate.

It developed in the trial that Donn Roberts had sent Roper and Long to Rev. Curnick as one of his schemes to get several opposition tickets in the field. Rev. Curnick w-as searched to see -if he carried any concealed weapons as he entered the court room, this precaution being taken with all who enter the court room. The judge, the lawyers and all are searched every day. The corruption at Terre Haute is remarkable in its extent and the boldness with which it has been carried on. Crawford Fairbanks, the head of the brewery, has managed to hold the reins of government through carefully selected candidates and a shrewd plan of getting a large number of opposing

WOMEN LOST OUT IN CHICAGO ELECTIONS

All Who Sought Seats in City Council Met Defeat—“ Dry” Cause Advanced in Illinois. Nine women in Chicago who aspired to be on the board of aidermen were defeated at the polls Tuesday. Fewer than 100,000 women out of 217,614 eligible to vote in the municipal elections in Illinois took advantage of the opportunity. The “dry” cause gained considerably, 5 twelve counties being added to the list where the sale of liquor is prohibited. Springfield, Quincy, West Galena, Rock Island, Dixon, Aurora, Waukegan, Alton and (Moline voted to retain saloons, while Bloomington, Decatur, Belvediere, Canton, Freeport, Galesburg, Joliet, Monmouth, Kewanna, Lockport, Elgin and East Galena voted “dry.” See our line of buggies and carriages.

tickets in the field. One scheme last fall was corrupt registrations. Mr. Fairbanks’name has not been associated with theses but since the object was the election of Roberts, who was to carry out the Fairbanks’ campaign of a corrupt and wideopen Terre Haute, it. is presumed that Fairbanks was really at the bottom of the entire scheme. A man named Chastain testified Tuesday. He said that his family consisted only of himself and wife and their daughter and husband, but from the residence where they lived at the time of registration there were registered Ellsworth Wood, Ross Howard, Clarence Simpson, Max Howard, Elmer Jones, Albert Weston and Albert Westoniz. These names presumably were fictitious, but some of the repeaters voted under them on election day. Dr. Curnick reached home Tuesday evening.
