THE DAILY BALLOTS THAT APPEAR IN THE PAPER WILL BE DISCONTINUED AFTER SEPTEMBER 8

The daily ballots that appear in each issue of the paper will be discontinued after Sept. Bth and all ballots should be in the office of The Republican not later than the morning of the 9th if they are to be counted, as the votes that appear in the paper on the 9th will contain all ballots that have been sent in since the contest begun and if any errors should occur it should be reported in time to be corrected in the issue of the 10th, as this will be the correct number of votes that have been sent In to be voted, and if you wish to increase your standing 1n th* paper you will have to use ydur subscription votes. The votes that we are giving on subscriptions now will remain the same throughout the contest and there will not be any change whatever in the number of votes that are given on subscriptions. A few new subscriptions will enable any candidate in the race to win a nice prize, for a few subscriptions may mean that you will be the owner of a Ford touring car or one of the other valuable prizes that are being given by The Republican. Any candidate in the race could be the leader if they would only make their mind up, to do so, as no one] in the race is so far ahead that he or she could hot be overtaken with a few new yearly subscriptions. There are a dozen candidates who have an equal opportunity to win the automobile and the prize they will win will depend largely on what they accomplish in the next two weeks in securing subscriptions.

Do not be discouraged with reports that so and so has so many votes stored away, for no one candidate in the race has more than a few subscriptions lead over the majority and the candidate who makes the next two weeks count in securing subscriptions will be the winner. Here are the prizes you can win. One Ford Touring Oar. One S3OO Upright Plano. One.s2oo Building Lot. One $65 Domestic Sewing Machine. One $25 Gold Prize. One S2O Gold Watch.

Amateur Mechanic Experimented In the Erection of a Silo.

Boone Grove, Ind., Sept. 2.—A silo erected inside out and upside down is the novelty near here that is taking the attention of the neighborhood. After Charles Quinn bought the structure in parts at 'Bourbon, he went about the work of erecting It himself. After it was completed he made the startling discovery that the inner wall surface was exposed to the weather and the base was high in the air with the top on the foundition. Today the silo is being torn apart to be rebuilt in the right way.

BURGLAR APPEARS AS PORCH CLIMBERS

Man Tried to Gain Entrance to Residence of B. J. Moore But Was Frightened Away.

A man tried to gain entrance to the B. J. Moore residence at the corner of Welton and Susan streets at 5 minutes before 4 o’clock this 6 Friday morning. He had Climbed to the roof of the front poreh and* Mrs. Moore was awakened by hearing him pry at the window of the upstairs hall. She called out, “Here, what are you trying to do?” and she heard a scurrying over the roof. Her daughter, Miss Eva, a mm nt later, saw the man or a confederate at the side of the’ house. The vines growing over the side of the porch along one of the columns were torn down, evidently where the man had climbed up. After 7 o’clock a man applied t the Moore door'for something to eat and it is believed he was the man who had tried to enter the house. Thursday night as Mrs. Moore and the children returned home in their auto, they saw a man in the alley back of their residence and he went into the yard of Bruce White.

It will behoove every person to lock' their homes securely and take no chances with the robbers.

Some Changes Preparatory To Opening of St. Joseph’s.

There will be very few Changes in the faculty of St. Joseph’s college this year and the term will start Thursday of next week, Sept. 10th, with practically the same priests as last year as instructors. The change of greatest importance is the return of Father Bartholomew as prefect. For the past three years he has been pastor of a church at Nebraska City, Neb., and Father Saurer has been the prefect. Father Saurer went to Germany to spend the summer at his old home and will be unable to reach here for the opening of the School and, in fact, it is difficult to r say when he will be able to return. He will take the pastorate of the church of Nebraska City upon his arrival. Father Kraemer is temporarily there. Father Kraemer has been a sufferer from rheumatism for several months and Was forced to give up his college work a year ago and take treatment at the springs. He is still far .from well and his assignment at Nebraska City is only temporary. '' Another new instructor is Father Rudolph Stoltz, who comes from Sedalia, Mo., where he has been the assistant pastor of Sacred Heart church.

Father Condon, of Sedalia, Mo., who garduated from St. Joseph’s college in 1908, and who has had six years in seminary since then, arrived this morning to take up his work as a member of the factulty at St. Joseph’s college. Father Sylvester Hartman returned to St. Joseph’s college today to resume hte work. He substituted during the summer months as pas tor of the Catholic church at Pulaski, in Pulaski county. The regular pastor there is Father Lohmiller, who took a trip to Germany and has so far been unable to return. It is believed, however, that he will be able to procure passage oh a ship from Rotterdam, which is to leave there within a few days.

LAFAYETTE PAPER PRAISES H. R. KURRIE

Morning Journal Says He Has Mar j velous Advancement in the Railroad World.

Commenting on the selection of H. R. Kurrie as president of the Monon railroad, the Lafayette Morning Journal says: Mr. Kurrie, the Monon’s new president, is quite well known in Lafayette, as he has appeared in court here several times to defend his road against damage suits and in other litigations. When he came to Lafayette, he was associated with the late John F. McHugh, who was attorney for the road at this point for twenty years.’ Mr. Kurrie is an exceptionally bright attorney and possesses many of the characteristics that gave Mr. McHugh such prominence as a lawyer. When they were associated on one side of a legal battle, they made a very formidable team and won numerous victoriest

While Mr. Kurrie has been associated with the legaj department of the road for tlie past twelve years, he has found the time and inclination to observe the working of other departments and has made the business a study in detail and as a whole. He has acquired much valuable information and is regarded as one of the best informed railroad men in the country. Mr. Kurrie had charge of all of the legal matters pertaining to the purchase of the Gifford line, and was instrumental in placing a loan of $4,000,000 for the Monon railroad. It was this financial feat that brought him conspicuously to the attention of the directors of the road and had something to do with elevating him to the presidency of the Monon system. Frederic A. Delano, who is succeeded by Mr. Kurrie as president, was. favorable to the advancement of Mr. Kurrie, and Fairfax Harrison, who was president before Mr. Delano, regards Mr. Kurrie as a thorough and very capable railroad man. Mr. Kurrie has made marvelous advancement in the milroad world. A man less than 40 years old, he has stepped from a modest law practice in a small city to the position of chief executive of one of the most substantial railroad systems in the country. He has absorbed the ideas of his predecessors and Is familiar with their plans. He knows by what means the Monon railroad has been placed in its present prosperous condition and knows what the plane are for the future. No man could have been selected who is better fitted to give an intelligent administration, to guard the interests andpromote the welfare of the Monon system. He is keen and shrewd and is a man of great executive ability. He has a pleasing personality, personal magnetism, and is so much a self-made man that he can govern kindly but firmly and prove an ideal executive.

WRESTLING GAME IN BIG ATHLETIC TENT

William Polos, the Greek, to Meet "Billy” Shober, Welter-Weight Champion, Tonight. s

About 150 saw a wrestling match Thursday night'in the athletic tent on Washington street,' between William Polos, the Greek, and Geesler, a husky young-man who is traveling with him. The match was really an exhibition and Polos was decidedly the best and had no difficulty in disposing of Gessler in two straight falls.

“Billy” Shober, of Indianapolis, who wrestled with Polos here three years ago .and who has since won the welter-weight championship of the United States, arrived Thursday evening and was expected to go on the mat with Polos, but Shober is just recovering from a boil on his neck and decided to wait another day before going on and a match was arranged for this evening at 7:30 o’clock. Shober threw Polos here three years ago in one of the best matches ever held in Rensselaer. They have not met since'that time and both have improved a great deal. Shober has followed the game until he has climbed to the top of the ladder in, the 148 pound class and has never been thrown at that weight. Polos has had a varied experience. He has met all comers, little and big, and by way of variety returned to his native country, Greece, and served during the war with the Grecian army. He wrestled while in the old country and those who saw him Thursday night say he has greatly improved and believe he can give Shober a great match. He outweighs Shober some 5 to 7 pounds. It is probable that Young Olson, of Indianapolis, or other wrestlers will be here Saturday night and if the crowds take to- the game, two or three matches may be pulled oft within the next week or two. *

Pushing Advanced Sale Lincoln Chautauqua Tickets.

Benjamin Bull, an advance agent for the Lincoln Chautauqua, was here today and called a meeting of the chauiauqua guarantors to dis cuss the plan of a further sale of season tickets. The guarantee was for 600 tickets and considerably more than this number were pledged last year. Several of those who signed for tickets, however, have moved away and there were just 61& left. It is not probable that all of these will make good and it is necessary that this many be sold in order that enough money can be procured to handle the big project. Mr. Bull was of the bpinion that 1,000 season tickets should be Mid here and pointed to some town"of this size or a little larger where this has been accomplished. Above 600 season tickets, half of the money only goes to the ehautydqua company, the balance remaining to take care of the local expenses. Only 25 per cent of the door sale remains with the local organization. President Rex Warner reports that there has been turned In up to this time about $725.

It is urged that all who have not purchased season tickets do so at once, seeing any member of the committee, Rex Warner, Dr. Myer, Arthur Tuteur or others. The Chautauqua deserves your support, for it Is an educative and refined program and you can give It encouragement by purchasing a season ticket or two. The Chautauqua starts Saturday, Sept. 12th, so you should look after the matter at once. The season tickets are $1.50 each.
