The farmers are very busy now threshing their oats crop. The rains have retarded this work considerably and the fair weather, when we have it, is being taken full advantage of. Nhe O. E. S., gave a surprise on Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Eger Monday evening, the occasion being their 20th wedding anniversay. Quite a number of presents in Chinaware were left with Mr. and Mrs Eger as mementoes of the occasion. W. O. Shanlaub returned last Friday evening from Terre Haute, where he has been attending normal for the past six weeks. Next week he will go to Goodland, to attend the county teachers’ institute.

A NARROW, PARTISAN POLICY.

The cotere of ring* republicans who have charge of the management of the proposed street carnival here have pursued the broad, liberal-minded (?) machine gang policy of “no democrats wanted.” While more than one-half of the funds raised here were contributed by democrats, and the S3OO to SSOO that the city donates from the jpublic treasury in the way of special privileges, lights, water, police, etc., is borne by men of all political faiths, the managers have seen to it that none of it goes back into the pockets of any but republicans. All their job printing has been given to republican papers, and, with the single exception of the “Barnacle,” they have advertised in every republican' paper in the county. But not a line in a democratic paper anywhere. In Newton county —except in the Rose Lawn paper, where they expect pol tical support—they did no advertising, of course. The fellows who are managing the thing have never forgiven Newton county- republicans for refusing to submit to their gag rule in the judicial matter and swallowing the machine candidates, body and breeches. Therefore no one from central or southern Newton is wanted in attendance, be he democrat or republican. Personally, we do not care for the few dollars that should in all justice have been spent with democratic papers, but the petty, contemptible partisanship displayed in this matter is but a fair example of how Rensselaer politics is worked in where it has no business to be.

White and colored mounting board at The Democrat office. A daughter was born Monday to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hurley of near Aix. Fred Chapman, of Bridgeman, Mich., is visiting his brother, J. H.

If you are not already a reader you should become one at once. On Monday evening the town of Earl Park contracted with Fowler Utility company to supply the city with electric light. Twenty incandescent lights and seven are lights will be used. The amount of the contrat is $925 per year. The electric current will be supplied by the plant at Fowler aud will be transmitted over a bare copper wire. A first class electric system will be put in. The wire will cost about $3,000 and it is said will lose only about two per cent of its force in transit. —Fowler Leader. Street fairs or carnivals held under the auspices of Elks’ lodges were absolutely prohibited by the Graud Lodge of the order in session at Salt Lake, Utah, Thursday, For some time opposition to this method of raising funds has been growing, it being considered that they were not in accordance with the fundamental principles of the order, and the report of the Committee on Laws and Rules recommending that they be prohibited was adopted overwhelmingly* The new law will not go into effect until January 1, as many lodges In different parts of the country have already made plans for the holding of such fairs before tb'-.t date.

“QUEEN FRANCES.”

Miss Frances received 2,4lvotes; Miss Helen Tutuer, 1,301; Miss Doris Porter, 1,129. The lodge will realize about SSOO out of the contest.

NO INJUNCTION ASKED FOR.

Goodland Herald; The Herald is in receipt of private information assuring us that all proceedings in regard to appeal or injunction relative to the court house has been abandoned, informant says: “The parties interested secured a transcript of proceedings relative to relocation and went to Indianapolis for information and consolation. They consulted one of the most prominent legal authorities in the state and were informed that they absolutely had no case. Therefore the matter has been dropped, and you will hear no more of it.” This information Comes from a good man who is on the “inside,” and we believe it is correct. In this connection we want to say that the people of this community have recognized the fact that the people north and west have had nothing to do with it. The splendid vote for removal given by Beaver township is a sufficieut guarantee of their sentiments. It was a case of individual soreness, and the fact that it “died a bornin” is no surprise to our people.
