G. O. P. CONVENTION CHICAGO, JUNE 7TH

Next President Wil! Be Named At Coliseum—Rept|Micans Man a Flying Start jm Campaign.

Washington, Dec. 14.—Chicago is the place and Wednesday, June 7, 1916, the time for the national republican convention. This was the decision of the national committee today at the close of the vote, which showed Chicago more than a two-to-one favorite over San Francisco, Cal., the runner-up in the voneest for the honor of entertaining the republican delegates. St. Louis, Mo., which had 'been heralded as the probable winner, finished a-poor third, only seven votes being cart for the Missouri city. The final vote on the choice for a convention city was: Chicago—3l. San Francisco—l 3. St. Louis—7. Philadelphia—2. Honolulu, which also sought the convention, did not get a vote. The republicans decided on June 1 for the date earlier in the day. This is just a week before the democratic national convention is to convene in St Louis. The G. O. P. chiefs plan for a fiying start in the campaign before the democrats have settled upon a candidate. The usual advantage said to lay in a later d'ate, so that the convention may not know what to expect of its opponent, was lacking in this case, in the minds of the republican committeemen, since/it is a foregone conclusion that President Wilson -wilt be renominated « in -St. Louis. A proposal to hold the convention later than June was defeated, 3*7 to 13. Advocates of an early convention argued that how was the time for the republican patry to take the offensive against its political enemies without regard to the ancient custom of allowing the party in power to meet first and announce its candidates and principles. It was urged that the party should not consider a defensive campaign, but should blaze the trail and give its story to the country first, without waiting to. see what he democrats intended to do.

William F. Pierce, who was born and IrrH in this until he went into the army, diedr last Friday every at 7 o’clock at St. Elizabeth’s hospital in Lafayette. He had been in the hospital fbr the past eight weeks, suffering from a complication of diseases. He had resided in Lafayette since the close of the war and for a number of years had been employed at Purdue university, where he was held in high esteem. His funeral was held Sunday from the home of his aunt and family, with whom he had lived in West Lafayette. He 'was a member of the G. A. R. and I. O. O. F. His age was 70 years.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 15, 1915.

Van Rensselaer Club Held | Important Meeting Tuesday.

The Van Rensselaer Club held a business meeting Tuesday evening and a large number of the members were present. The new quarters of the club in the Hollingsworth building on Washington street are proving ■quite popular and many of the members are spending quite a little timb there during afternoons and evenings, proving that club quarters when all furniture is installed will be an attraction to many. The quarters art inadequate with respect to some conveniences that it is proposed to procure and the board of directors wert instructed to secure information about the cost of the things needed. The house committee was also instructed to have repaired and installed in one of the rooms of the club a pool table which Judge Hanley is donating and >Dr. C. E. Johnson has also promised to give to the club a billiard table. . ' Emmet Laßue, Floyd Meyers and Don Wright were appointed a committee to make arrangements for a smfoker to be held . soon. It may be before Chrirtmas or during the holidays. The annual banquet plan* were discussed but definite arrangements will probably not be made until after the smoker. A meeting will be held Sunday afternoon when the new By-laws will be discussed. These make a radical change in the management of the club, giving the directors almost exclusive charge of the business and the membership. . -..j Bridge is becoming very popular with the members and two or three games are in progress each everting. On motion President Spitler wa# directed to eppoine a ommittee to look after the "pood fellows” feature of Christmas. This has been a function of the club for two or three years and the money raised is expended for the poor under the direction of the ■Charity Board. Many homes are thus given a cheerful Christmas that might otherwise be forgotten.

MAY ERECT FINE CITY HALL BUILDING

Mayo? Trikes Option On Raflph Fendig Property and Gets Plain For Beautifql Structure.

Rensselaer may have a fine new city hall. The plans have gone so far that Mayor Spitler has secured an option on the Ralph Fendig property on Van Rensselaer and Harrison streets and has secured from a South Bend architect rough plans for a new building. Should the plans go through the 28 feet on Van Rensselaer street, now occupied by the fire engine station and City Teamster Zea’s residence, would be sold and it is probable that almost if not fully enough realized to pay for the Fendig property a half block south.

The h'ouse how on the lot would be sold and moved away and a twortory brick building erected. It would contain the council chamber, offices for the mayor, treasurer, cleric and attorney, also the engine house and a flat for the teamster and family. Pt is probable that additional rooms would Be provided and offered for rent, thus realizing sufficient for the maintenance of the building. Should the city officers named occupy the rooms provided for them they would be expected to pay rent for them, as they would be used for conducting the businesses in which the officers are privately engaged. While the steps taken are altogether 'without the approving action necessary to carty the plans to conclusion, Mayor Spitler, City Attorney Leopold and others are In hearty sympathy with the movement and think that Rensselaer should not longer delay the erection of a city hall. It is estimated that the cost of construction would be $10,006. This would add a little tax to all taxpayers but the improvement and its influence in making a “Greater Rensselaer” seems to justify the expenditure.

HAS FAITH IN QUICK REMEDY FOR CATARRH

B. F. Fendig Guarantees That JSyomej Will ReKfeve the Worst Cases of Catarrh In Rensselaer. : When one of the most reputable concerns in Rensselaer guarantees that a medicine will procure benefit, or they will refund the money, it speaks volumes for the merits of that remedy. It is in this way that B. F. Fendig is selling Hyomei, the treatment that has helped so many cases of both acute and chronic catarrh in Rensselaer and vicinity.' Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a spray or a lotion that must he rubbed in. It is an oil, the air of which you just breathe in your nose, throat and lungs by the aid of an inhaler that comes with every outfit. Benefit will usually be seen from the very first treattnent. This air destroys all germ life in the air passages and lungs and enriches and pujfifies the blood with the additional ozone it supplies. It banishes catarrh of the head and threat and respiratory organs. Wherever these mucous membranes contain catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do its work of healing. The complete Hyomei outfit is inexpensive and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks’ treatment. Remember that if Hyomei does not relieve you B. F. Fendig will refund your money.
