The law gives every man time and opportunity to vote just as he pleases, so voters select your choice of candidates; you can vote for men on each and every ticket if you wish. Mrs. Henry Catwood and Mrs. Frank Warren were in Crown PoinL over Sunday attending a Missionary convention. They also spent a short time in Chicago. Any person in Marion township who has changed his residence from one side of any of our gravel roads to the other within the thirty days proceeding the 6th day of November has lost his vote. If you do not intend to vote a straight ticket, do not stamp in the large square surrounding any of the party emblems but stamp plump in the middle of the square before the name of every candidate you wish to vote for. The following subjects will be discoursed upon in the Presbyterian church next Sunday: Morning, “Pastoral Relation;” evening, “Politics.” Being on the eve of important elections, men are especially invited to the evening services.

RENSSELAER, IND. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 26. 1894.

Should a republican desire to vote for; say M. Y. Slaughter, G. G. Thompson, Walter Harrington or any other candidate on the people’s ticket, he should not stamp the eagle on his ticket, but just stamp the square in front of the names of the men he wishes to vote for. Should a democrat, or populist wish to vote for; say T. P. Wright, John Alter, Dexter Jones or any other candidate on the republican ticket, all he has to do is to just let the rooster or the plow and hammer go, and stamp the square opposite the names of the men for whom he wishes to vote. There should be no rush about voting, the law gives every man time to prepare his ballot. In the secret, quiet booth the voter is a free man, he can make his ®wn selection, party conventions and party bosses can not control him there. The Rensselaer brass band met last Monday evening for the purpose of reorganizing, and the following officers were elected: B. K. Zimmerman, president; H. Weaver, secretary and business manager; John Healy, treasurer and musical director. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by laws, and every member is required to sign them, and is expected to abide by them. They expect to add several new members in a short time. There is no reason why Rensselaer should not have just as good a band as any town in the state if the people will only encourage them a little.

A “Rea] Conversation” between Conan Doyle and Robert Barr, giving glimpses of Dr. Doyle’s home life and his methods of work, and reporting his opinions on the state of the novelist’s art in England and America at the present time, will appear in McClure’s Magazine for November.

A report reached here Tuesday morning from South Bend, stating the marriage of Mrs. Ella Duvall to Will Wood. Mrs. Duvall, a few weeks ago secured a divorce in the St. Joseph circuit court from her former husband, “Buck” Duvall. All the parties are well known here. Later we learn that the marriage has not yet taken place, but is expected. In a letter from Sharp, he says that by a vote taken at the Keeley Institute, we find four Republicans to one Democrat. He says the democrats are either too" poor to come or have no better sense than to stay away. The typhoid fever epidemic in Jordan township seems to be subsiding; no new cases are reported and all the old ones are said to be on the mend.

Hathorn finished his canvass of Jasper county at DeMotte Wednesday. Mr. Hathorn made 12 speeches in the county and at every meeting large and enthusiastic audiences greeted him. This gentleman is an honest, fair eloquent speaker; his work here we are sure will show itself the Gth of November. Had Mr. Hathorn given us 12 speeches more we would not then have been ready to let him go. Seldom do the people of Rensselaer receive such a treat as was given them at the opera house last Friday evening. The performers were Emma Ward Hoffman, of Goodland, and Bert Shepherd and Frank Hardy, of Remington. The lady's piano solos were decidedly charming, and Master Bert Shepherd proved himself a violinist of the very first order. Mr. Hardy posesses vocal talant that is truly captivating. The performers were frequently encored and lhe audience actually refused 10 leave their seats until the pei« formers withdrew.
