THE NAPPANEE TOWN ELECTION DEMOCRATS GAIN ONE ONBOARD OF TRUSTEES. NO SPECIAL CONTESTS X Political Complexion of Board Now Two and Two —Socialists Poll Big Vote. The town election on Tuesday was without any "excitement, or special strife, excepting in the case of the fourth ward wherein the Republicans, many of them, seemed to desire a change on the board—and they brought it about by electing Slabaugh. While there was a good vote polled, under the circumstances, many Republicans as well as Democrats did not go to the polls at all. It was a case with them—“We don’t care who is elected.” The new officers will take their respective “stunts” on Jan. Ist; the trustees for four years, and the other offlcers-elect for two years. The town board of trustees will then stand politically, two and two, with a Republican clerk and treasur er, as well as a marshal. So far as the town’s business is concerned it has no significance, whatever. The Democrats put a ticket in the field to maintain their party organization—they seemed to have done a fairly good job at maintenance. As much as they have ever been able to do in this direction, with the assistance of the independent voters In a local election. Here is the vote by precincts and the totals: WEST PREC.

CITIZENS BAND REORGANIZED MEETING MONDAY NIGHT AND OFFICERS ELECTED. Will Get in Some New Players —Sacred Concerts Sunday Afternoons. Tbe Nappanee Citizens Band, one among the finest musical organizations in this part of the State, held, a meeting Monday night and reorganized for the coming year by the election of the following officers: Warren Rickert, president. Ralph Frazier, secretary. Fred Coppes, treasurer. J. Will Rosbrugh, director. The band organization will endeavor to bring new band men to Nappanee by procuring them employment here. On several occasions additional players 'could have been secured if some employment were furnished them. The band men will now make an effort in this direction. Last season Director Rosbrugh had the band to the point of a “topnotcher” in musical circles, and it was highly commended when ever playing away from home, as well as on the occasion of their weekly concerts. These concerts not only drew Immense crowds of people to Nappauee, but it advertised the town abroad when strangers were here at the concerts. The band is now contemplating a series of sacred concerts on Sunday afternoon at an hour when it will not Interfere with church services or young people’s meetings. Last season the band received considerable substantial encouragement —nearer that which such an organization deserves, and there is no reason to believe but that this will be continued. Live Stock Exposition. A babel of noise is churning the atmosphere of the scene of the 'greatest of all live stock displays, the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago. Preparation is being made on a stupendous scale for the largest display of horses, cattle, hogs, and sheep since the inception of that magnificent enterprise. An army of mechanics and laborers is on the ground setting the gigantic stage on which the show will be presented to the people of the North American continent. If the’largest list of entries on record warrants such prediction, the 1911 International will throw its forerunners in the shade and each of them was credited with having marked a climax. Preparation for the International Live Stock Exposition, which will this year be held from December 2d to 9th, is no insignificant task.

Irvine is treasurer: Jacob Whiteleatler is clerk, and Joseph Plew Is maishal. The Democrat elected was M. A. Dye for trustee. The other trustees are Republicans. Lutheran Conference Closes.

The various papers read were meritorious, said to have been the best yet presented.- * There was a good attendance, representatives beirtg here from Goshen, Mishawaka, South Bend, Lapaz, Rochester, and also Hicksville, Ohio. Most of the visitors left for their homes Thursday. School Girl Breaks Leg. Miss Bessie Brown, about 12 years of age, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown on the old homestead in Union township, sustained a broken leg’at the ankle on Wednesday.

VAUDEVILLE FOR AUDITORIUM Managers Stauffer & Coppes Will Try New Stunt. It is announced by the managers of the Auditorium, Stauffer & Coppes, that they will try vaudeville for the new stunt each week during the show season, if support is sufficient to justify it. The first performance will be given this Friday night, Nov. 10th. This company of vaudeville artists come in on a circuit, embracing in this vicinity, the Elkhart Bucklen and Goshen Jefferson. They ought to be very satisfactory. They have a show of five acts. A Matter Worthy of Consideration. The Goshen News-Times last week contains two editorials which should command attention of the taxpayers of the county, at least, if not of the State. One of the articles appeared under the caption “A County Head” and the other “The Extravagance of Law.” If there is anything that Indiana needs in the interest of county affairs—local government, and those who pay for operating the machinery, it is condensation of “extravagant” laws which have, as our contemporary suggests, left us a “government so complex that few understand it, and so costly as to be absolutely burdensome.” Legislatures have come and gone—with them have come many new laws- -none of the old seem to depart from us. Our contemporary has hit upon a theme, that if followed up presisteDtly, might result in giving the State relief from “the extravagance of law.” Elkhart county, anyhow, is sufficiently progressive to start the ball rolling.
