The Republicans of the state are preparing to have a sort of “love feast” this winter, and have selected the week between Christmas and New Year’s for the event. The politicians will gather at Indianapolis and will hold a day and night meeting at the Denison Hotel. Both United States senrtors are expected to be present, besides the different representatives from this State in the low er house. The candidates who are out for State offices will also come, and the affair is expected to be an interesting one from a political standpoint. The fact that this gathering of republicans has finally been decided on was announced Sunday by James P. Goodrich, chairman of the State committee, who was in the city. Mr. Good' rich will issue his call for precinct meetings over the State to select delegates to the district meetings and to select members of county committees the latter part of December. The call will announce that these meetings are to be held about the first or second week in January. A week or two later the district meetings will be held and members of the State committee will be selected. A meeting will then be held in Indianapolis to organize the committee. It is the understanding that Mr. Goodrich will be a candidate for re-election to the chairmanship and that Warren Bigler may have the secretaryship again if he desires it. —Indianapolis Journal,

Told in Rensselaer. Its The Evidence Of Rensselaer People Published In Rensselaer Papers That Has Made Such a A Reputation For Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills. Standing dear and distinct, masking the difference, the superior the adaptability to present day ailments is the volume of local testimony for Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills. It’s so different to the rdinary remedies referring to cures made at distant points which it is hard to verify. There is a reason for Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills commanding home evidence where, ever they are known—lt is thei wonderful influence in bringing u the Standard of Nerve Foroe. Mr W. Clift of No. 312 River St., Rens selaer, Ind., says;—“l am well pleased with Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nesve Pills as a nerve and general tonic. Indoor work and long stand, ing over the barber chair made me nervous and ran me down in health and strength. I needed a good tonic and got the medioine at A. F. Long’s drug store and am pleased to say it put me right again—nerves steady—system vigorous and everything as it should be.” Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills are sold at 50c a box at dearlers or Dr. A.

OBITUARY.

Mary C. Baker nee Thomas was born on the 10th day of March A. D. 1844 died Nov. 27 A. D. 1901, age 57 years, 8 months, 17 days. She was married to Charles J. Baker May 10th, 1876 which was chappy-union, to them two children weie born. She leaves the husband, two children, a daughter and son, three brothers and two sisters and a host of friends to mourn her death. But while these dear friends mourn, they mourn with the Christian’s hope of meeting again. In sister Baker’s death the U. B. church loses a faithful and exemplary member, the husband a dutiful and loving companion and the children a kind tender and true Christian mother. But their loss is her and Heaven’s eternal gain. Having been her pastor for two years, we love to note the fact that her presence in the public congregation always proved to be an inspiration; and her influence, because of her deep devotion, will ever live to bless the world and strengthen the cause of Christ and will ever as an angel to visit, comfort and strengthen these loved ones for the battle of life. She said during her last evening on earth that she did not expect to live through that night, and met death with perfect composure. The funeral was conducted a the residence 5J miles south of Rensselaer, by the writer in presence of a sympathizing audience of neighbors and friends, after Which the remains were laid away in the Remington cemetery, to await the trump of God.
