Gri-cmustle Democrats Give Evidence of Importance of I‘rimary Election by Voting Early and in Large Numbers,

FOR PUTNAM COUNTY SCHOOLS

A QUIET DAY AT THE POLLS

The weather ryan, conscious of the importance of the event, made the ! (lav for holding the Democratic pri- J mnry election a beautiful one. The! result of the combination of pleasant weather with the close and warm contest between the several candidates for county offices, was a large vote, mostly in early. The Polls opened at six o’clock tills morning, and the business of regesterlng the votes began almost immediately. By noon the contest was well along. At 1 o’clock 221 of the 385 who were expected to east ballots in j the city had placed them In the box. The township did almost as well 116 of the possible 2 10 or 212 had deposited their ballots by t o’clock. All was quiet about th election boths all day. This doe: not mean that there was no enthusi. 1 m or interest. for there was plenty of both, ami excitement, both of candidates and voters was at fever heat. There was, however, no nnnete- ary noise, and little crowding. Some few remained near the scene of action most of the day. Most c.ime, voted and went about their everyday business, conscious that they had done all-they could for th ir favorite candidate, and willing to re t the matter with the majoritj of the Demoera lie voters. Reports from other townships indicate that there is mu h interest and a heavy vote all over the county. The belief was still universal this afternoon that the rac. would not he decided till the last vote was cast. A few votes will probably settle the matter for some one candidate.

Growing Better Every Day.

The first game of the basketball season to lie played at Hanover tomorrow afternoon will be a severe try-out for the men and the locals are by no means assured of a victory. Coach Brow© rey nds the trip itself as strenuous ns any that could be taken and the long ride with a cross-country drive of five miles means that the team will enter play stiff and in no shape for the hard game that is expected. Ten men w ill make the trip, eight players with Coach Brawn,and manager Joe Lirimore, and all concerned will be satIstied with a victory at any score. . The absence of Grady from yesterday's practice on account of illness is of much consequence as ho will be unable to play the entire game, although he will likely make the trip. The coach put Hodges in bis place as be is fast, experienced and good at getting down the floor. The work for today will be light and the men may lie ox. used entirely in order to have them rested thoroughly after a hard week's work. There is but the one game to be played and the squad will return Saturday night.

REVIVAL MEETINGS

There was an Increased attendance and a good interest at the Baptist church last night. The topic tonight is; “How the Lost Are Saved.” Rom., 6:23: “The free gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." I. Two propositions. Men are not lost because they are bad, nor saved because they are good. A man is not a sinner because he sins. He sins because he is a sinner. God treats men for what they are. IT. Salvation is not an attainment. It is a bestowment. It Is not what men do, but what they pehmit God to do in them, an dwlth them. HI. It Is given in Christ. Eternal life is another name for salvation. Jesus is the author, or cause of salvation. It is Christ's achievement. ! Whosoever believeth in that achieve- ! ment may In Him have eternal life. I The ship Adam goes down with all jon board. The ship Christ saves all who get into it. It is the ship that saves, not the character of the passenger.

The local delegates will vote for Mr. Chapin and as there probably will be no other candidate the election will be unanimous. “It Just happened” so Mr. Watson says, that Jim Watson, one of the cyeral candidates for nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket, happened in town today and was present at the meeting this afternoon. Mr. Watson is working hard for the nomination and lost no time in shaking bads with the Republican leaders hero today. Mr. Watson, however, “just happened

Only the most eminent instruc or> are voted into the snclet\ for there are but fifty professors throughout J tile United States who have been ad j mitted to membership. Most of i those are from tin* larger institutions and this makes the honor all the more remarkable, coming to Pro- | fessor Naylor as it did. The memberi ship came unsolicited and Professor | Naylor did nothing to force himself before the society, lit* was nominated by Professor A. B. Porter, formerlly of the Armour Institute of Chicago, who in writing him says: “I have felt that the Physical Society was not quite complete without you as a member for I have long ad mired the work that you arc doing at DePauw and Professor Merritt of Cornell tells me that Hie men that you have turned out show very < let‘ily the excellent training that tl ' have received.” Professor Naylor lias hen unusually successful in his work and is exceedingly thorough in It is instruction. Since he took charge of the department here in ivat ho ha.- built up one of the strongest cour-es in the curriculumn of the university. He wjas for two years instructor in Physics in the Indianapolis high school, and for three years assistant at Indiana University. He lias written numerous articles for scientific magazines is a member of the Indiana Academy of Ytcionces: member of the State Scientific Teacher's Association and of the American Association for \ d ran cement of Science.

necessity for a signal system; it merely decides that the ordinance is not drawn according to law. The ordinance provides a penalty of $100 for each violation of the ordinance, and, according to law, a town board ; 'an not provide a greater penalty than $to for violation of an ordiname. Several weeks ago the Town Board passed the ordinance ordering that a watchman be kept at the crossing. The Monon Railroad Company appealed the case to the commission, giving among other grounds the argument that the ordinance was not acocrding to law. It was on this ground only that the commission decided against the Town Board. Union B. Hunt, chairman of the commission. went to Roachdale Saturday to Inspect the crossing and make an investigation. He reported yesterday and the commission overtitled the ordinance, it is not Known whether the Roachdale Town Board will attempt to pass another ordinance. Commissioner Hunt would not discuss the question of i the necessity for a watchman at the crossing. Indianapolis News.

The establishing of a training school for teachers here is the re tilt of a law of the late legislature which requires every teacher in the public schools to he a graduate of a > >mmissioned high school, to puss ait examination on ttie branches and to have twelve weeks work in a professional training school or where actual teaching practice is given. Since a great many University students teach, it is found necessary to put in •lie training school. In high school work plans are on foot to do some training. At present six or eight University students are doing some work in the teaching line in En rlish at the high school. Later on history and other subjects, a system of training for high school teachers, will be installed.— Bloomington Telephone.
