Conditions of the Camps and How Much It Coots—You Can Send a Substitute If You Choose.

Do you want to attend the citizens’ training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison this summer? The camps will be held in three relays, the first from July sth to August 4th, the second Kfrom August 7th to September 6th, and the third from September Bth to October sth. The second and third camps will be held only provided sufficient citizens desire to attend, 500 being required at each camp. The following are the qualifications: Must be citizen of the U. S. or have out first papers. Must be between 18 and 45 years of age, except that older persons may be authorized for special service. Must be sound physically, capable of hard drilling. Eye sight normal or corrected by glasses to admit of target practice.

In addition will be the cost of transportation and uniform, including a pair of tan marching shoes. Last year the average cost for equipment was $20.45. When the maintenance cost and transportation are added the cost will probably exceed SSO for each person. The government will furnish arms, ordnance, mess kit* tentage, blankets, poncho, cot, pillow and pillow slip, mattress, bed sheets and sweater. The Republican has application blanks. Are there any who want to do this much for preparedness? President Wilson says it is right. Ex-President Taft approves it. Theodore Roosevelt says it’s bully. Ninety-tfive per cent of the thinking people favor preparedness. Will they make the sacrifice to procure it? Those who do not want to go themselves can send a substitute if they desire by paying the expense.

To accommodate those who have autos and want them protected while in town I will hereafter devote my wagon yard for that purpose, charging 10 cents for a reasonable time. Yard just north of hitch barn, across from

ON TO DELPHI WITH R. H. S

Triangular Field, Track, Oratoric-il and Reading Contest at Delphi Saturday.

“On to Delphi” is the motto taken by the high school and this afternoon tne high school building is ringing with cheers for our representatives .in the field, track, oratorical and reading contests at Delphi Saturday between that school, Monticello and Rensselaer. The track and field meet will be the big drawing card and wi l take place at the high school garden in the afternoon. At night will be the oratorical and reading contests. The Rensselaer high school track team has been training hard for the meet and Coach Wass has expressed his confident opinion that the team will make a much better showing this year than last and that our team will do better than third place. Thursday night the team went to the college, where they practiced running and hurdling on the cinder track. Good time was made in most of the events. Rensselaer is considered best in the dashes with a fair chance in the distance runs. The mile, Rensselaer’s strongest distance event, has been cut out of the meet. Crooks, in the high jump, is as good as Dunlap in the dashes and should take first. The weakest place on the team is in the weight events. Gourley is not as strong as the Monticello and Delphi men.. Ross Lakin, captain of the team, is a strong distance man and should capture a couple of firsts and be a big help in the relay. Julien, of Delphi, will undoubtedly stand out as the individual star of the meet as he has at other times. In the Carroll county meet he scored 28 points and in the meet with Jefferson high school of Lafayette he scored 21 points. In the oratorical contest Dwight Curnick will deliver an address on “A Greater Republic,’ 'taken from Beveridge. Curnick should take this event with ease. In the reading contest Miss Maude Elder will give “The Man in the Shadow” by Childs. Miss Elder is very good in this and Rensselaer should capture another ribbon. A number of rooters will go from here to Delphi and everyone will wish them the best of luck. The Rensselaer entrants in events are as follows: 50 yard dash, B. Dunlap, L. Swaim, Crooks. 100 yard dash, B. Dunlap, L. Swaim, Crooks. 120 high hurdles, McLain, Babcock. 220 low hurdles, McLain, L. Swaim. 220 yard run, B. Dunlap, Crooks. 440 yard run, B. Dunlap, Lakin, J. Miller. 880 yard run, Lakin, J. Miller. Pole vault, Moore, Halleck. Broad jump, Crooks, B. Dunlap. High jump, Crooks, McLain. Shot-put, Gourley, Moore. Discus throw, Gourley, Crooks. The mile relay team will probably consist of Lakin, Crooks, Swaim and Dunlap.

MURDERER OF MOTHER GETS TERM FOR LIFE

Harry Oliver Convicted of Murder On Fourth Ballot—Jury Out Only Fifty-Five Minutes, k

Frankfort, Ind., May 4.—After casting four balolts the jury in the case of Harry Oliver, who shot and killed his mother hi e Sunday, Feb. 20, returned a verdict of guilty of first degree murder, rejecting Oliver’s plea of insanity. The penalty was fixed at life imprisonment. The jury was out only 55 minutes. The verdict was a popular one. Before receiving the verdict Judge Combs addressed the curious throng that packed the court room. He warned the people against any kind of a demonstration. Oliver was led into the court room. He was nervous and showed emotion for the first time since the trial began. Before the verdict OTver calmed himself and he heard the verdict without so much as raising his head toward the judge. Sheriff Miller asked the court to pass sentence immediately and no protest was made by Oliver’s attorneys. Without being removed from the court room Oliver was arraigned and asked if he knew of any reason wily sentence should not be passed. He answered in a whisper, “None that I know of; I leave it iO my lawyers.” s. Judge Combs sentenced Oliver to the state prison at Michigan City. When sentence was passed none of Oliver’s relatives waspresent— t —

PRESBYTERIANS WILL BUILD NEW PARSONAGE

Old Manse to Be Sold at Auction Wednesday and Modern Building to Be Erected at Once.

The First Presbyterian church of Rensselaer will erect a modem home for the use of their present and future pastors. It will occupy the site, of the present manse, which was built a number of years ago and which is not modern. The present building will be sold at auction next Wednesday and will doubtless prove a very good investment to some purchaser who will move it to a lot and make a residence or tenant property out of it. The property is at present occupied by Rev. Asa McDaniel, of the Christian church. Rev. Fleming, pastor of the Presbyterian church, occupies the J. H. S. Ellis property. During the past few days pledges amounting to $2,800 have been made for the new parsonage and enough more is assured to justify the erection of a thoroughly modem property. The location will be at the comer of Angelica and Van Rensselaer streets, just south of the library and the west end of the block the' church occupies.

Monon Detectives Get Thief; Brakeman is Seriously Injured.

Albert H. Scofield and John A. Hayes, of the Monon detective force, have made another capture of a crooked employee. On Wednesday, Paul Hathaway, employed in the freight department at Hammond, was caught in the act of taking goods from a freight car. He was taken before Judge Barrett at Hammond, where he pleaded guilty. He was fined $25 and given a sentence of six months at the penal farm. In addition to this he is compelled to reimburse the Monon railroad for the goods taken . W. W. Bell, a Monon brakeman, was seriously injured Wednesday while working with his train at Bainbridge. He was on top of a car, releasing the hand set brakes. One of them had been tightened with a stake the railroad men use. Bell released it by “Hand7~anff as Tie did“so,~THe wheel turned so rapidly that he was thrown headlong from the top of the car. He fell a distance of about 18 feet and was seriously injured. He was rushed to Greencastle. His condition is quite serious and it will be some time before he will be able ta resume his duties.
