The List Today Should Contain All Votes Sent In To Be Voted, If Any Error Whatever It Should Be Corrected in Time To Appear Tomorrow as That Will Be Accepted By the Judges As Correct

In today’s issue appear all votes that have 'been sent In to be voted, including all daily ballots and subscription votes that are in the office to be voted, and should any error appear in any vote it should be .reported in time to correct in tomorrow’s issue, and that will be the last opportunity to correct any errors, and the list will be accepted by the judges as correct. '■ It is just seven more working days until the contest will come to a close and there is plenty of time for any energetic candidate to carry off first honors if they will utilize the remaining days iri securing subsorptions. Never in the ihistory of Jasper county has there been such an opportunity presented to the people as this contest affords for a little work In one week. Pay no attention to the many reports that such and such a candidate has a large number of votes, ■ for in lots of cases the number in the paper is the vote of some of the contestants and there are .some wtho are holding back a number of votes, but this reserve vote is not so large that any energetic candidate could noit have just as many if they would turn in a few subscriptions this week. You must realize the size of the prize list and the number of valuable prizes to grasp the opportunity that is presented to you. You have probably thought that you Would like to win one of the nice prizes and have secured some votes but have just been going along and not adding very materially to your score. 'Now why should you .wait and see the other fellow win-that automobile, piano, etc? It is yours today and you, because of procrastination, have given up hope of winning. Now, why should you have this feeling when it will take so little "of your time in the next few days 'to be the owner of the touring oar? , If you are one of those w!ho have just been hanging on why not make up your; mind today that you are going to be a winner and the Wattle is half won. A few subscriptions will go a long ways toward making you the owner of a Ford touring Oar or one of the other beautiful prizes. Here are the prizes you can win. One Ford Touring Oar. One S3OO Upright Piano. One S2OO Building Lot. One $65 Domestic Sewing Machine. One $25 Gold Prize. ' One S2O Gold Watch. < One $5 in Gold. 10 per cent to non-prize winners. Below are the nominations and votes cast for publication up to last night:

GERMAN REVERSES ARE NOW REPORTED

Big Battle Raging Near Paris Results in Advantages to Allies— Russians Succeeding.* I Dispatches report that the GerI man army has suffered great losses and have been compelled to fall back in the face of the fierce fire of the allied forces near Paris. An armistice asked by the Germans to bury their dead has been refused. While-covering their retreat the Germans have delivered fierce but vain counter attacks on the enemy. In Austria the Russians have continued to push forward, inflicting large losses as they have conquered town after town, including many of • the best fortified places. A revolt is reported as about to cause a rebellion in Hungary, where many are reported as in sympathy with Russia instead of their own country. The Czar’s soldiers have been welcomed in some sections and it is reported that in one Austrian theatre the national air of Russia was -sung.

For those who seek relief from kidney backache, weak kidneys, bladder ills, Doan’s Kidney Pills offer hope of relief and the proof is here in Rensselaer the same as everywhere. Rensselaer people have used Doan’s and Rensselaer people rpcommeqd Doan’s, the kidney remedy used in America for fifty years. Why suffer? Why run the risk of dangerous kidney ills—fatal brights disease. Here’s Rensselaer proof. Investigate it. 'Mrs. Henry Randle, Forest St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had a severe attack of backache, accompanied by pains through my loins. It was all I could do to work. When I was suffering the worst, one of mt neighbors advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, in fact, gave hie a few that she had in the house. I took them and was so pleased with the results that I procured a further supply at Larsh’s Drug Store. They acted just as represented and in a short time I was free from pain. I think a great deal of Doan’s Kidney Pills and highly recommend them.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask tor a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Randle had.

WILLIHM GRAYSON SLASHED WITH KNIFE

Assailant Was Robert Jones—Affair Occurred Just North of River at Water Valley. William Grayson, youngest of the three Grayson boys, lies at the point of death at the home of Jim Doty, at Shelby, frightfully cut, and “Bobbie” Jones, his assailant, is in jail at Crown Point awaitng the result of his injuries. Grayson has been working for Doty at Shelby. Tuesday afternoon he accompanied "Bobble” Jones, Jr., to Ben Fogli’s saloon on the south side of the Kankakee river at Water Valley. They had started back to Shelby together and were crossing the bridge when Doty came along in a wagon. Both got into the wagon. According to the report received by The Republican Jones told Grayson that' he would not get his pay tor working for Doty. Grayson replied that he had always been -paid and an argument ensued and Jones called Grayson a liar and Grayson knocked him down. Grayson then climbed out of the wagon and dared Jones to fight ft out. Doty intervened and the men quieted down and Grayson again got into the wagon and Doty started to Shelby. Jones quietly drew his knife arid lunged at Grayson, stabbing and cutting. Grayson was powerless to put up a fight, the first lunge with the knife having cut a frightful gash across the right side of 'his chest. Before Doty could do anything to stop the assault by Jones twelve cuts had been inflicted. As The Republican is informed one was across, the abdomen and almost disemboweled him. One cut was across" the right cheek, another on The neck, two were across his right arm and were clear to the bone. There were two or three stabbed places in his legs. Grayson was removed to the home of the rural mail carrier, Jake Warner, near by, where doctors attended him, taking seventy stitches to close the gaping wounds. It is said that his lungs could be seen through, the wound in his chest and that the cut across bis abdomen exposed his bowels. Little hope was entertained for his recovery. Jones was placed under arrest by Jacob Loesch, who lives' at Water Valley, and a deputy sheriff came down from Crown Point and took Jones to jail. If Graysori dies a charge of murder will be filed against Jones. Grayson was alive yet at noon and had revived considerably, but his condition'was such that there seemed small chance for his recoveryy. He was removed Tuesday evening to the home of Mr. Doty, his employer. Grayson has spent most of bis life in and near Rensselaer, where he has 'been working on a farm tor several years. He has been employed by Doty at different times. He was in the habit of getting drunk occasionally and at such times was inclined to be quarrelsome. There is no information that he was intoxicated at this time, but it is probable that both he and Jones bad been drinking. Jones and his father, known as “Bobbie” Jones, Sr., lived together at Shelby. He was not regarded as a very bad man, according to reports received here. Grayson is about 25 years of age.

So Many Ways of “Doing Good.”

Republican Editor: There would be more unity, if town and country people were better acquainted, and I was Just thinking what a great “boost” the Chautauqua would get if the citiens of Rensselaer would make it a point to invite some out of town friends during the coming week tor a few days. It would be a genuine vacation for farmers because they rarely are away from home at chore time and it would* be wonderfully inspiring and 'helpful for them to. be able to hear the splendid talent. They dan not know how intensely interesting these noted men and women are, having, never listened to them. Hearing them enlighten, broadens and instills higher ideals and uplifts spiritually. Never mind me, I have an invitation for a week that I must decline. But if you only ask someone to stay for an evening session it may be appreciated greatly. The k>hg, tiresome drives are trying and few could return. There are so many ways of “Doing Good.” A Barmer’s Wife.

Former Wolcott Resident Makes Present to School

Wolcott Enterprise? *- Through the generosity of Mr. Eben H. Wolcott, the Wolcott schools have a fine amusement device on the grounds. Mr. Wolcott presented the schools with an American Coaster Slide. The coaster is similar in construction to a tobogan slide. It arrived Tuesday, and Wednesday A. J. Reaanes, assisted by several other mechanics, erected it. It is placed a few feet south of the east end of the school building and stands about twelve feet high. In the center is a platform about 5 feet square, the platform being reached by a stairway leading up from the nortth and ,1s surrounded by a strong railing, while the slides go out one to the east and the other to the west and run out a distance of about 30 feet; they go down In a zig-zng or wave fashion, and give the children a slide of 50 feet or .more. The bottom of the slide is made of galvanized iron, and the party ’sliding juSt sits down and slides to the bottom. A few pads about 18 inches square made from old brussels carpet or other material of a like nature would be a good thing for the ehil-. dren to provide themselves with for this sport. The school children undoubtedly have a warm place in their hearts tor Mr. Wolcott, as they spend many pleasant hours on this device. It was through the generosity of Mr. Wolcott’s father that the town was presented with the fine ground we have, and they‘are probably not excelled by any in the’state tor a town the size of Wolcott.

Gave W. B. McNeil and Wife an Did-Time Charivari.

Kankakee Valley Review. The town was certainly in an uproar last Monday evening .when it was learned that our .popular towniman, W. B. McNeil, had married the, former principal of the Wheatfield high school. Bells of every description and jupk, guns, and everything that sfeould make jioise were used for Bill and his bride. Bill came across and treated the boys right and then the belling patty held an old fashioned time by serenading. Jule-and Debs, to the amusement of everybody, and fart but not least the serenades went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Dunn and gave them a second belling. The noise made at the beliinga would make a foreigner think he was in the midst of the European war with the entire forces fighting In one battle at one jrtaoe.
