New and Watson

Harry S. New dnd James E. Watson ran neck and neck at the Now* that there are two vacancies both should be nominated. Party diplomacy, public desire, futuer welfare and all demand that Harry 3. New be nominated for the long term and James E. Watson for the short term to succeed to the vacancy made by the death of Senator Shively. Friends and admirers of Will H. Hays do not regard it proper ethics for him to get into the convention at this time. He should bide his time, serve this year as state chairman and an oppreciative party will be unanimous in rewarding him. He might create enemies by entering this race that would operate against party success and his personal reward.

Funeral of Senator Shively Wilt Be Without Pomp.

No ostentation or pomp will mark the funeral of Senator Benjamin F. Shively, who died Tuesday afternoon at Providence hospital in Washington. Mrs. Shively has decided that, as the senator lived, so shall he be buried. Consequently, there will be only one funeral service and that at the Shively home at South Bend at 2 o’clock Saturday. No service will be held in Washington and the bodywill not lie in state at the statehouse in Indianapolis, as had been requested by Governor Ralston, The funeral willbeprivate will be preached by Rev. Lippincott, minister, of the Presbyterian church.

MONTICELLO TOOK HOME THE BACON

Nine-Checker Players Won From Similar Number Here By Total Score of 43 to 39. Monticello really grabbed the bacon. All our bluster about our checker players has returned us a boomerang and today we are bowing our heads in chagrin, and the figures 43 to 39 stand out conspicuously before us. The much talked of checker tournament took place Wednesday night. Nine knights of the board came over on the evening train and the contest was soon staged. Two classes were made, A and B. Four from each team were in the A class and five from each -teanwn-the B class. The A class for Rensselaer played excellent checkers and won 21*2 points to 10% for Montlcello, but the B class fell down bad-, ly, winning only 17% points to 32% for Monticello, making tl|p total score 43 for Monticello to 39 for Rensselaer. -There were some good and sufficient excuses for the poor showing of the B team, mainly the absence of several of the good players, but we doji’t like excuses and they don’t, bring any bacon. .

Nor 2—Passenger and express, leaves McCoysburg at 6:10 p. m., after the arrival of the southbound milk train and arrives in Kersey at 7:20, making all intermediate stops. Passengers may now leave from points along the Gifford branch on the morning train and reach Rensselaer at 7:30 a. m. and leave here either at 10:55 a. m. or 5:50 p. m.

Tickets are now sold only for travel* on the Gifford, but will later be sold direct from points on that branch to Rensselaer.~ In addition to the trains above mentioned one round trip will be made each way between Kersey and Winwiddie, 10 miles north, each week day.--. ■ “■ -
