Where Should a Bandstand Be Built If We Build One?

.The Republican has favored the erection of a bandstand in- Rensselaer and we believe one should be built tor our excellent band instead of dragging the old wagon up through the streets every week. We believe that the bandstand should be bpiit in the court house square because it ds in the central part of town and there is an abundance of room for- it The merchants pay for the. weekly band concerts and they do so because it 'brings crowds of people on the streets and they usually spend considerable money. The merchants will not pay if the concerts are taken away from the business section and if the grandstand were erected in Milroy park the streets of the town would be deserted. - , * - At Brook the pretty little park, Which corners the main business block and on which there is a nice bandstand is not used because the merchants who pay for the concerts want them on the street. Milroy Park is well to one side of the town and it would be very unfair to the people of the oast and north sides, as well as to the businessmen, to erect a bandstand tilere. Place it on the northwest corner of the square, and the music from the elevation will carry Jo all parts of the business section.

Jasper County's Candidate For State Representative.

Mdnticello Herald. ’ Mr. W. L. Wood, of Parr, whose name has been mentioned as the probable choice of the republicans of -White and Jasper counties for representative, was here Tuesday making acquaintances and ascertaining the lay of the laud. He has been urged by his friends in Jasper county to make the race and has consented with the understanding that his Candidacy will not antagonize White county’s interests. He is a native of Ohio but has lived In Jasper county for 37 years and is a representative citizen of the district. He has been a successful fanner and stock raiser and is still a farm owner, though of late years he has been engaged in merchandising—since 1895 at Parr, and for five years before that at Aix, He is a well-read and well-to-do gentleman and capable of taking care of himself in a campaign. More than that he is the right kind of a man to represent this district in the legislature. The Herald is not aware of any opposition he will have from White county In the convention and will consider the republicans fortunate if they can fill up their tickets this campaign with as fit men as Mr. Wood.

McCARDLE MADE A GREAT SPEECH TUESDAY

Indianapolis Grain Dealer Captured Brook Convention With True , Political Argument. Following the nominations at Brook Tuesday afternoon, Warren McCray, of Kentland, was made chairman of the meeting and introduced the first speaker, John W. MeCardle, of Indianapolis, who made one of the strongest republican talks ever heard in this district. Mr. MeCardle held has hearers spell-bound for over an hour and then they ufged him to go on, but the hour was growing late and others were to follow. Mr. MeCardle said that he 'had attended and spoke at republican' meetings since the first of the year and that every one was getting better. “Every day,” he said, “the boys are coming back to the faith. I am not talking because I am an office seeker; l am not. I am a grain man and that is just what I want to tell you about. I know the democratic editors say that I am a dead beat, that is all right. I might be a beat, but I am not dead and I want you to know it. They know it and will know more of it before the brisk November winds blow. As I said I aim a grain buyer. I (have spent the greater part of my life buying products from the farm. I would like to know, gentlemen, What the democrats at the Baltimore convention meant by jumping on you fellows. And you laboring men as well. Today you have an example Of what this new free country is doing for the farmer and the laborer. The mills are already shutting down and you farmers are meeting competition from Argentine with your com.

“Why, if I had a ten year old boy and he could'not write a better platform than the democrats did in 1912, I would disown him. You all know the doctrine and saying of that beloved and revered man, William McKinley, who When he was approached in the front yard of his home said, ‘’Open the mills, instead of the mints.” Following this statement, you elected him president and you had tor sixteen years the greatest prosperity the country ever knew. That was republican doctrine. “It is a fact that less than 2*4 per cent pt the grain raised in 1912 was shipped to foreign markets. Yet you farmer friends leeeived the best prices that were ever received.

"Your odngrssman, Mr. Peterson, voted for free trade; he voted tor the bill that threw down the barriers of protection to the American farmer, and he is not going back. You are going to send ‘in his stead, Senator Wood, of Lafayette, who will not be a mere messenger boy for the white housed. (Applause.) “Sixty days ago, wheat from India was offered tor sale in the New York market, In competition to the American raised wheat Argentine sent fifteen million bushels of 09m to this country to compete with the American raised corn and the market was paralyzed. That earn was offered at from 5 to 7 cents less on the bushel than American raised corn. It was raised on land worth sls to S2O an acre, and was selling in competition with the corn raised on $l5O and S2OO an acre land in this country. Argentine com, my farmer friends, is better com than that raised in this country. This is not hearsay. I have the statistics to prove it I refer you to your grand institution, Purdue university, and they will verify what I am telling you. “Today, in competition to the American farmer's wife, we are receiving butter from New Zealand, Siberia and Denmark. Eggs, butter, milk and cattle are on the free list Why, since the new free trade went into power, there has been imported Into this county 2,880,000 dozen eggs. Those come from the Chinese hens, and are selling from 5 to 7 cents lower a dozen than the American farm woman’s hens eggs. “Today in New York 350,000 men and 150,000 women are out of employment In the city of Indianapolis, a little nearer home, 10,000 men and 2,000 women are out of employment. It was not that way under republican rule. How do we account for it? By the free tirade policy of the present administration. t?‘ ' “In Indiana, in 1908, a misfit was elected governor by accident This same misfit is now vice president of the United States, by accident He said something a short time ago that I think you should know, if you don’t already. He said that in America 500,000 graduates were turned out of our colleges every year and that 400,000 of thqm were failures. This statement, ladies and gentlemen came from Thomas Marshall, the second in office In the United States, under the free trade poMey-

SPECIAL PULLMAN FROM RENSSELAER TO CANADA

Land Seekers Will Be Given Opportunity to Travel in Comfort to Canadian Pacific Lands. Thepdore George, the local agent of the Canadian Pacific lands, was in Chicago this week and secured special concessions for the excursionists who are "interested in securing a home in Canada. A number have already made arrangements to take the trip from here on July 7th. On condition that twenty persons take the trip the land company has agreed to set off a Pullman oar in Rensselaer, with diner attached, and the entire trip will be made in this car in comfort. A rate for the round trip to Calgary, with stopovers at all podnts, good for 25 days, es $46.50 from Chicago has been made The rate from Rensselaer will be slightly more. The rate for sleepers will be about $3.00 for upper berth and $4.00 for lower for the trip. At this rate the prospector will be able to return by way of Saskatoon through the Saskatchewan country. To those desiring to go simply to the Saskatchewan country the fare will be $37.50, with the same rate for sleepers. Agents of the company will meet the excursionists at their destination and convey them to the land free of charge. This is the greatest opportunity for a renter to secure a farm of his own that has ever been land ranges in price from sll to S3O per acre for the unimproved lands. The sll to sls land is considered the greatest grazing land in the world. The company guarantees the S2O to S3O land to produce as good crops as the SIOO to S2OO land through the middle west in the United States, and It is adapted to the raising of splendid crops of wheat, oats, barley and all kinds of mixed fanning.

As an illustration: 160 acres of the S2O land can be purchased tor $3,200. The first payment on this would be one-twentieth of the purchase price, or $l6O, and $l6O per year until paid tor, with interest at 6 per cent. The company will make a, loan of $2,000 on this, to be used for Improvements such as house, barn, fences, ete., and an additional loan of SI,OOO will be made with which to purchase stock. The amount of the loan will be added to the price of the farm, with the same terms of payment, ‘one-twen-tieth down and one-twentieth each year. * • If the settler prefers to buy a farm already improved he can be accommodated. The company has erected new buildings consisting of house, barn, etc., fences and well, on tracts of 80, 160 and 320 acres. On each farm 50 acres have been placed in cultivation, so that a settler can move on to the farm at once and have a crop already under way. These terms are the same as on the unimproved, 5 per cent down and 5 per cent each year until paid tor. The average price tor a 160acre improved farm is $4,500, which requires a cash payment of $225, and a similar amount each year until paid for. A SI,OOO loan will be made on these farms to buy live stock tor the farm on the same terms as the other loans. These lands are virgin soil and have never been cultivated. All the land lies in the best portions of Saskatchewan and Alberta country and purchasers afre not confined to any one certain locality, but may make their selections as near towns or railroads as they desire. This, i® the best proposition ever offered to a man of small means desiring to own a farm of his own, and those desiring to take advantage of it will be the ones to reap the benefit in increased values as the country developed In five years the farm and loans can be easily repaid from the proceeds of the crops. Prospective buyers should make arrangements to go on the first excursion and make their selections now. If a sufficient number signify their intention of going sooner than July, arrangements will be made to take a party June 23rd. Those desiring to take the trip should send in their names to Mr. George at once. Mr. Topping, a representative of the Canadian Pacific, will be here the week of June 15th and lecture at the following ptoses: Rensselaer. Monday evening, June 15; Remington, Tuesday evening, June 16; Gifford Wednesday evening, June 17. Hie lectures will be Illustrated with the stereopticon and will be very Interesting. Mr. George and Leslie dark, of The Republican, will accompany the first excursion to Canada.—Adv.

RATTLESNAKE BITE RESULTS FATALLY

19-Tear-Old Son of Joe Salrin, of Walker Township, Victim of Poisonous Reptile. Perry Salrin, 19 years of age, son of Joe Salrin, a well known resident of the Hershman neighborhood of Walker township, died Tuesday night as the result of a snake bite he received the afternoon of the previous day. Perry was cultivating eorn and the snake bit him on one ankle. 'His condition became at once critical and physicians were called, but the poison was carried by the blood to all parts of the body and he sank rapidly away, dying Tuesday evening. The funeral will be held at the Wheatfteld M. E. church at 10:30 o’clock Thursday morning. Young Salrin was a worthy young man and Ms untimely death is regretted by all who knew him and his parents. There is a section of country in the Salrin neighborhood where there are many rattlesnakes and a number have been killed. The W'heatfleld Review urges that a bounty be paid for rattlesnakes! killed in Jasper county and it certainly seems that it would be a very proper course in the effort to exterminate them. A bounty is paid for crows and wolves and fox, but rattlesnakes probably constitute a greater menace than any of these. Cattle frequently die from rattle snake bites; probably the total loss of stock from this cause is greater In a year than the loss caused by wolves in a decade. And it is not an uncommon thing for human beings to be bitten Only last year Howard Speaks, a young man living in Rensselaer, was bitten and almost lost his life while working at Gifford. Others have also been bitten and now a horrible death has resulted and the rattlesnakes are on the increase.

The Review says that if a bounty were offered then the snake hunters could clothe themselves tor snake hunting in a manner that would cause no risks. If legal we believe a rattlesnake bounty would be very appropriate.

Temperature Reached 95 in The Shade Tuesday Afternoon.

It was 95 degrees above zero Tuesday afternoon, as registered by the government thermometer at St. Joseph’s college. The minimum temperature tor 24 hours ending at 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon was 68, whieh is quite hot for night. It is probable that It did not fall so low Tuesday niqht, notwithstanding the fact that there was a dashing rain in the evening. A hot wind during Tuesday afternoon contributed to the discomfiture. In Indianapolis the mercury reached 106 in the shade or 5 degrees hotter than it was here.
