It will be necessary for the candidates for the Athletic football team to turn out for practice if the team 'is to be a success, and with the material at hand there is no reason why it can not be a success. So we would like to see all candidates report at the cigar store Wednesday night between 7:30 and 8:00 o’clock for practice, so the team, can be prepared for Sunday’s game.

A message was received yesterday stating that an operation had been performed for appendicitis on Miss Nell Meyers and that she had rallied in a very satisfactory manner. Dr. English, who accompanied Mrs. Meyers to Madison Monday, arrived home today and brought a very encouraging report. Miss Nell had been operated on at 9 o’clock Sunday night and seems to have got through in the very best condition. Mrs. Meyers will remain with her daughter for a few days or until all danger is past.

The American Express Co. has made a very generous offer to aid the American Red Cross Society during the European war, and will furnish money orders without any charge for all sums that are sent to the Red Cross Society. Money is greatly needed to alleviate the terrible suffering incident to the war and the society is making an earnest appeal for aid. Probably there are some readers of The Republican who will be glad to contribute and the money can be transmitted free of cost through the American Express Co. to the treasurer of the American Red Cross Society. Mrs. O. K. Rainier left today for a visit at Chalmers and Brookston. At the latter place her brother, Jim Price, is quite poorly. He has been an invalid for several years.

PLAYING POLITICS IS GOVERNOR RALSTON

Indianapolis News Correspondent Scores Governor For Appointment of Taggart Henchmen. William H. Blodgett, writing in the Indianapolis News, “touches up” the governor’s recent appointment of C. E. Talkington as superintendent of the state’s new penal farm at Putnamville. The following is taken from a lengthy article by Mr. Blodgett, published in Friday’s Indianapolis News, under a Columbus, Ind., date line: , “One of the most solemn pledges that Samuel -M. Ralston made before he was nominated sor r governor was that he would not permit the dirty hand of politics to be laid on any of the state charitable and penal institutions. He repeated that pledge after he was nominated for governor and reiterated it when he became governor. “And yet he has placed in charge of the state penal farm not only a politician, but a machine politician, a ward of the Crawford FairbanksTom Taggart machine, a friend, supporter and associate of Homer L. Cook and a man who has acted as a stall for, the machine. And the penal farm is a state institution. The man at the head of it has every chance to A play politics. And the man at the head of it should be a man who understands at least the rudiments* of penal work. “In extenuation of Governor Ralston’s offense it is but just to say that when he made these pledges he was sincere. He really believed that he would be governor in fact. To be sure, he knew that the Crawford Fairbanks-Tom Taggart machine and its brewery alliances got him his nomination and he was so unsophisticated as to imagine for a short time that it would not- demand its iwund of flesh when once he got into a position where he could serve it. This is a charitable view that the hundreds of thousands of people in Indiana who desire that politics be kept out of the state institutions will take of the governor’s action in appointing Charles E. Talkington, of this city, superintendent of the penal farm. ‘The appointment came as a greas surprise to the majority of the people here and with one accord the announcement was made about the court house and in places where the politicians gather: ‘Well, that’s Tom Taggart’s appointment.’ ”

Mrs. Albert C. Beilfuss returned to Chicago this morning after a visit of two weeks withh er daughter, Mrs. Everet Brown. Jim Ennis, who has been working for Fred Phillips and occupying the old Ralph Marshall property, has quit his job there and is now working for the Rensselaer Luihber Co. Miss Alice Worland came home last evening from Chicago, , where she underwent a surgical operation at the Wesley hospital. She seems very much improved,in health and her full recovery is now expected. Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, for twelve years United States senator from Indiana and candidate of the progressive party for that office at tl\e 1914 election, addressed voters here this afternoon at the airdome. He is making a number of speeches each day.

About young married couples gave a house warming Monday evening for Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Myer at their beautiful new home on Weston street. The evening was spent at playing six-hinded sevenup, and refreshments were served by the assembled friends, who insisted on making Dr. and Mrs. Myer the honor guests of Jthe occasion.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1914.

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS JU . ~-i~ ■ - _ This is to be a lively week among the republicans of Jasper.county and meetings are to be hejd at Rensselaer, Remington, McCoysburg acd Newland. The speakers are fine orators and will tell voters the things they should become acquainted with. Let all turn out and make these meetings rip-roaring successes. The following speeches are announced:

Rensselaer Thursday Afternoon, Oct. 8 at 2:30 Hon. John W. McCardle of Indianapolis. He is not an office holder nor an office seeker. He is engaged in th grain businss and talks straight from the shoulder about the effect of the Underwood tariff on the products of the American farm. Every farmer, irrespective of politics should hear him. He also will tell you something about democratic extravagance in Indiana.

McCoysburg Friday Evening, Oct..9th Hon. Win R. Wood Republican candidate for congress. Mr. Wood has been a member of the Indiana state legislature for many years. He served the state as speaker of the house and was the republican leader in the senate. He is a progressive, aggressive man with ideas about legislation. He is for the restoration of a protective tariff that will give the farmer the protection he needs against the products of foreign countries. Every voter should hear him.

It is a duty of citizenship to hear these men and to learn the claims the republican party is making about the disastrous managenent of democracy in state and nation. Get out to all these mbetings. You will find John W. McCardle and Will R. Wood fjne orators, fair in their discussions and ready to answer any questions you may wish to propound to them.

Let us make these big rally events for the Republican Party in Old Jasper.

Mrs. Ellen Harsha and children, of Lafayette, came Sunday and will spend about three weeks visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Childers, here, and, with relatives at Roselawn. We want every lady and girl over 10 years of age to register at our store. You may to that way and at no cost whatever get that beautiful little Malleable Range in our window.—E. D. Rhoades & Son. Mr. and Mrs. James Lefler, who were with his son, L. L. Lefler and wife at Tecumseh Trail, near Lafayette, this summer, came here yesterday for a short visit with relatives before returning to their home near Marionette, Wis. Miss Daisy Polk, of San Francisco, has deen delegated to take thirtyfive German schoolgirls from England back to Germany. She will on her return trip bring back to England an equal number of English school-girls.

With only two dissenting votes the Indiana bankers, in session at Indianapolis Wednesday, adopted a resolution protesting against the proposed war tax of $2 on each thousand dollars of bank capital. There were 250 bankers present. Miss Bessie Bowsher, who was operated upon recently at the Long hospital in Indianapolis, was not strong enough to return home Sunday as had been expected and it is probable some member of the family will go there to accompany hes home some day this week.

Felix R. Erwin and little daughter came down from Fair Oaks yesterday and remained over night with his father, L. D. Erwin, who is quite ill .at the home of his daughter, Mrs. N. Littlefield. He seems a little better pow and indications point to his getting up again. When baby suffers with croup, apply and give Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil at once. Safe for children. A little goes a long way. 25c and 50c. At all drug stores. A. S. and 8. M. Laßue recently traded their farm, the former Nave farm west of Fair Oaks, for a furniture and hardware store at Greenfield, and A. 8. went there yesterday to take charge of IL He may trade it off, close it out or run it for a time, he is not just decided which.

Remington Thursday Evening, Oct. 8, at 7:30 Hon. John W. McCardle who will speak at Rensselaer the afternoon of the same day. Mr. McCardle has been a student of Indiana politics for many years arM has at his tongue’s end the stoiy of democratic extravagance and knows how the Taggart-Fairbanks crowd runs Indiana. He also talks about Argentine corn and the Underwood tariff.

Newland Saturday Evening, Oct. 10th Hon. Will R. Wood Republican candidate for congress. Mr. Wood is going into every part of the district to meet the voters whose support he is seeking. You will recognize in him the qualities of ability and sincerity, of activity and experience in law making bodies that will make him invaluable to the interests of the tenth Indiana district and the state and nation. Let all the people turn out and hear the issues discussed at this meeting.

In mentioning the birth of a baby daughter to Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Sigler, of Tulsa, Okla., a typographical error caused the name to be printed “Bigler” instead of Sigler, but it was our old friend Tom Sigler, who received the-visit of the stork, and his friends here are extending congratulations. Mi 7 and Mrs. Thos. Wiggins, of near Remington, went to Chicago Monday, where Mrs. Wiggins will again become a patient at the Presbyterian hospital. They were accompanied by his brother and sister, C, E. W’ggins and Mrs. N. L. Unzickor, of Gieenmont, 111., who have been visiting them. The Washington street bridge is being painted by Frank Alter and Fred Glacken and the first coat will be about all on by night. The color is a dark drab, and, while not so nice as pure white, it will probably keep clean much longer. The improvement is a splendid one and rifiaterially helps the appearance of Washington street.

Lyman Zea went to Chicago Heights, 111., this morning with his grips full of pain killet*and furniture polish. He has not had much success in the Calumet region for some time, owiijg to the fact that so many are unemployed. Hundreds wanted to buy on time, but the uncertainty of collections made this unwise. E. J. Hurley, who came from Spokane, Wash., to visit his old home and to attend the national convention of the carpenters’ union held in Indianapolis, left Rensselaer yesterday for Paxton, 111., for a short visit before returning to Spokane. He brought his father, Jacob Hurley and -wife, from Rossville, to visit his brother, John Hurley, west of town.

Sheriff Hoover, accompanied by Dave Overton, took Harvey Casto to the asylum at Longcliffe today. Harvey burned up his bunk in the jail Monday evening. He is of a violent type of insane that might become very dangerous at any time and when this fact was made known to the authorities at Longcliffe he was > admitted, notwithstanding the fact that an order had been sent out stating that the men’s quarters were so crowded that'tiOne could be accepted.

“WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO VICTORY NOW"

Letter Seals to Be Used During oampaign Have Put In an Appearance in Rensselaer. “We’re On Our Way. Republican Victory Now.” Little stickers, bearing these words, made their appearance in every precinct and township in Indiana today. They are of about the same size as the Red Cross Christmas seals and not unlike them- In color. A big part of the mail handled through the postoffices of Indiana during the next month will bear one of these little republican stickers. The center piece of this little stamp is a lively looking elephant with his trunk and one of his front feet high in the air. A banner over his back bears the letters “G. O. P.” This motto appears at the bottom of the stamp: “Better Government; Lower Taxes.” Inquiry revealed the fact that the republican state committee has fairly plastered the whole state of Indiana with these attractive little stamps. The first consignment to the organization workers, throughout the state, it is said, totalled one million stamps. They have been placed in the hands of the party workers and in the offices of newspapers throughout the state and a general invitation has been issued to every one who is in sympathy with the republican party this year to use these stickers oily all of his correspondence between now and election. This novel idea has met with a hearty reception and the prediction is made that the first consignment of these stamps will be exhausted in jig time. “We want every one who is with us this year to use these suggestive little stickers on the back of all his letters between now and election,” said Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican state committee. “We will undertake to fill any demand that may develop for these little ‘Victory’ stamps.”

Well matured Wisconsin sand grown potatoes, 75c bushel, 20c peck. HOME GROCERY. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Coppess, of Medaryville, came yesterday afternoon to visit their daughter, Mrs. Will Simons and the family of W. F. Osborne. Miss Lois Thompson went to Chicago this morning to meet her mother, Mrs. Delos Thompson, who was returning from Ossining, N. Y., where she accompanied her daughter, Miss Emily, who is attending the Oddining boarding school. Charles R. McFarland, the former court reporter, who has completed one year in dental college, was a Rensselaer visitor Monday. He had been at West Baden taking a short vacation and stopped off here to see old friends. Felix Parker went to Kankakee yesterday and will go from there to Herscher, his home. He will lose his vote this year. A residence of a year is required to establish residence in Illinois and he has resided there only since January. James E. Flynn, who is now staying with his daughter, Mrs. H. V. Weaver, at Lowell, while recovering from a recent illness, was down yesterday to look after some business and to register. He is feeling some better than he did for a while but is still quite weak.

Dr. F. H. Hemphill is expected to be able to come home tomorrow from the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis, where he has been for almost three weeks. He had been considerably run down alter going to the hospital and was sick for some time. He is now slowly gaining strength and it is believed and hoped that he is restored to perfect health. ----W ■■ ■— Dr. E. C. English, who went to Madison, Wis., Monday, was unable to register and will consequently lose his vote as the registrations are required to be made in person or the affidavits filed on that day. It does not seem fair and is not that a man of long residence in a community can be disfranchised in that way, but that is the law and there is probably no getting around it.

John R. Lewis, one of the progressive farmers of Barkley township, has just purchased from Crouch & Son, at Lafayette, a Hampshire belted boar, a registered animal for which he paid $225. The Crouches took in exchange at SOO three spring pigs of the same breed. ,Mr. Lewis had a lot of misfortune with his Duroc hogs this year, losing several sows and 103 pigs from cholera. His belted hogs were all immune, however.

VILLA SUPPORTERS FLOCK TO CARRANZA

First Chief Has Stronger Grasp On ffexican Populace, Says Report —Generals Turn Traitors. El Paso, Tex., Oct. s.—Local representatives of the Carranza central government do not agree with official Washington’s interpretation f the Mexican situation. It was said today that the recent convention at Mexico City by rejecting Carranza’s resignation had decided definitely who should act as provisional president. • The meeting of Carranza and Villa delegates at Aguas Calientes or Zacatecas thus becomes, the Carranza men interpreted, merely a mediation meeting. From the south today came little diffinite news regarding Villa’s movements. Reports persisted that various of his chiefs had avowed allegience to the Carranza government. Vera Cruz, Oct. 5.—A force of Mexicans, presumably followers of Gen. Higino Aguilar, reappeared at Esperanza today. It is reported that they are engaging the troops at Esperanza on their way to the capital.

The Jammy Clabby football team ’of Hammond defeated the Whiting Athletic Club 84 to 0 last Sunday. It is reported that there is two feet of snow in Alberta, Canada, and in all probability Editor Babcock will have a half column article blaming the entire thing to Theodore George and the Canadian Pacific railroad company. The news from the foreign war is meager and not very reliable. Local successes and reversals are reported but no decisive battles have been waged. The long lines have been engaged in constant fighting for almost a month now. The losses are terrific.

So many visitors in Rensselaer pay us nice compliments about our tidy premises and well kept city that every one has occasion to feel quite proud and continued cause for exerting every effort to make the town cleaner and healthier and more beautiful each year. Today is the birthday of Albert J. Beveridge. Also of former senator Bailey of Texas. These two men had a fisticuff in the U. 8. senate chamber about a dozen years ago. At that time they were the two youngest mertibers of that body. Bailey being a year younger than Beveridge. Fred Carter, 21 years of age, committed suicide at the home of his home of his grandparents Kewanna. Carter was married a year ago and his wife was suing for divorce. Broodipg over this is assigned as the cause of his rash act. He had a sister who suicided some years ago, the result of a disappointment in love.

Walter Engle was over from Monon today. He is feeling a bit chesty because he slammed out a home run for Monon against his old home town of Francesville last Sunday. Monon and Francesville are to play five games' and the rivalry promises to resemble the European war. The women in those two towns know more about rooting than the average college senior.
