ELECTION PASSES OFF VERY QUIETLY

Magnificent Day Should Bring Out Large Percent of Registrations Count Will Be Slow. Today is another magnificent day and the result should be a large per cent of the registered vote. The election in Rensselaer seems to be passing off in the usually quiet manner. Guesses on the result-are being made and The Republican here publishes a guess on the county ticket. It was figured out by several Monday night and represents the consensus of opinion of members of the three leading parties. The order only is given. Look this over tomorrow and see how nearly it is right. Congress, Wood, Peterson, Ade. Representative, Hays, Wood, Kinney. Judge, Hanley, Darroch, Rogers. Prosecutor, Tuteur, Hess. Foresman. . Clerk, ePrkins, Maloney, McCurtain. Treasurer, Hoover, (May, Halstead. Auditor, Hammond, Sayers, Eb more. Sheriff, McColly, Culp, Kolhoff. Coroner, Rainier, Johnson, Sauser. Assessor, Thornton, Postill, Thomas. Surveyor, Hobbs, Bostwick, Gamble. Commissioner First District, Marble, Fisher, Morehouse. Commissioner Third District, Washburn, Welch, Hensler. It was agreed that Hammond and Sayers would be very close; also that Postill would push Thornton and Thomas, and that Hugh Gairible would get a large vote in Rensselaer and Would posslbly be second or even better. In commissioner of the third district Charles Welch may defeat James Washburn, the democratic candidate. Of course, it is all guess work, but In the arrangements is the opinion of several who have Miad their ears to the ground and who think they know a thing or two about the way the votes are going. Since there are five ballots the voting is slow and the counting will be very much slower. It will probably be near morning before the result in Jasper county can be definitely learned. Returns frqm the east will begin coming in, probably, soon after 6 o’clock, andjihe usually large crowd will probably loaf at the court house, where the county returns will be tabulated.

HIGH SCHOOL VOTES ON COUNTY OFFICES

Pupils Given Practical Lessons in Civil Government—Republicans Generally Won. ■ ——— Equal suffrage prevailed in the Rensselaer high school this Tuesday. mqrning. Superintendent Dean had procured sample ballots for the county and township tickets and also the constitutional convention and centennial celebration special ballots and election boards were organized and the form of voting carried on much as it is in the various precincts over the state. ' The four high school classes voted and much to their credit there were only four spoiled ballots, two by the freshman class, and one each by the sophomores and juniors. J The pupils favored the new constitution by the vote of 157 to 34 and also the appropriation of $2,000,000 for a centennial memorial by 117 to 73. Republicans were generally successful on the county ticket and unanimously on the township ticket. The exceptions on the county ticket were oases where the republicans were not so well known at home Slid where some local favorite on one or the other ticket was running. It may be interesting to have the votes reported in full: For Congress, Will R. Wood 73, Will H. Ade 60, John B. Peterson 48, and E. A. Bush 6. Bush is the prohibition candidate and evidently the old prohi party will be with us for many years to come. For Representative, W. L. Wood 99, Patrick Hays and William Kinney each 36 and O. L. Chiyington 5. Judge, Hanley 121, Darroch 28, Rogers 26. Prosecutor, Tuteur 86, Hess 48, Foresman 29. Clerk, Perkins 116, McCurtain 34, Maloney 27. Audjtpr,_Hammond 112, Sayers and Elmore each 34. Sheriff, McColly 86, Culp 56, Kolhoff 42. Treasurer, May 69, Hoover 66, Halstead 43. Coroner, Dr. Johnson f>6, Sauser 43, Dr. Rainier 38. Surveyor, Gamble 69, Hobbs 66_, Bostwick 42. Assessor, Postill 72, Thornton 68, Thomas 38. Commissioner, Marble 81, Fisher 47, Morehouse 56. _ „ Commissioner, Welch 80, Washburn 54, Hensler 39. In the township ticket republicans were all successful, their votes running generally somewhat more than the combined democratic and progressive votes. Trustee Wood headed the ticket with 116 votes and Delos Dean was second with 110. A rather peculiar thing in the voting was that the progressives for the most part polled more votes than the democrats.

Mite. Hurley Beam is here from Chicago to visit her mother, Mrs. C. George and family. It is reported that Hank Granger, a well known resident of the Kankakee river district, has just been ■arre'sted (for complicity in automobile thefts. According so the report machines stolen in Chicago have been taken to Hank and then sold. Hank’s place was used as a “hedge”, according to the stories told. Hank, however, is said to claim that the machines he had purchased by agents in Chicago and if there were any stolen cars-he did not know it. Hank has been in trouble before, little thing's like illicit sale of liquor and counterfeiting being charged, but he has always come out on top and there wll probably be a free Hank when this case is tried.

About the most inexcusable relic of the dark ages is the destruction of property by reckless young people on Hallowe’en. Originally a night for the presumed visit of hobgobblin's and spirits and for the making of love matches, Americans have interpreted it as a night Which licenses the destraction of property and the performance of rude tricks that are entirely foreign to the original celebrations. In Rensselaer the reckless spirit ran rather high and a number of depredations were committed. Signs were torn down, some times permanent signs that .had con-, side cable money: wagons were moved to the business street and placed across the sidewalks; porch furniture was stolen and sometimes broken up, outbuildings overturned and other overt acts performed. Two good reed porch chairs were taken from the porch at Mrs. Kate R. Watson’s residence. One was found Monday in the river at the College avenue bridge, where it had been thrown off the bridge and a rocker broken and other damage done. The other chair has not yet been found. John Knapp was moving a barn on Front street add the red danger lights were stolen and have not yet been recovered. For acts that are destructive prosecutions should be vigorously followed if the names otf the perpetrators can be learned.

FITZ W. BEDFORD FRACTURED LEFT HIP

Aged Man Living East of Rensselaer Fell Backward With Result That May Prove Fatal Fitz W. Bedford, one pf the old est citizens of Marion township, yho has lived just east of this city for a great many years, suffered an injury this Tuesday morning that will go very hard with him and which may cost this life. Mr. Bedford was 86 years of age the Bth of June and has been feeble for a number of months. He was a man of 'spirit, however, and went about his daily pursuits without thought of giving up. He had a housekeeper but no near relatives to look after .him. This morning at about 6 o’clock or a little later he went out to do his feeding and as he was coming out of the corn crib with a basket of corn he stumbled and fell backward. His hip was fractured, the upper end of the femur and a part' of the pelvic bone being fractured. He lay in the yard almost an hour when he was found by his housekeeper, Mrs, Norris, who procured help and he was taken to the house and Dr. Loy called. He found the aged man suffering from the shock and regards his chances for recovery rather remote. Mrs. Jack Warner, now of Remington, is a sister, and Win 8. Bed-ford,-of Kansas, is a brother. He was also the second husband of the mother of Norman and Marsh Warner.
