ADE’S BARBECUE IS TO BE A BIG EVENT

Newton County Author and Politician to Hold Big Gathering at His Home on Sept. 30.

Probably the writer of the appended article places the number cf cattle to be slaughtered for the big republican rally at George Ade’s home on Sept. 30th at a large number too many, but if Mr. Ade and the enthusiastic former state chairman, Chas. N. Hernley go at the meeting in earnest they will bring a great crowd together at the author’s Brook farm, and it will take a half dozen or more cattle to feed them. Charles S. Hernley, who is ading in the capacity of director general for the farmers’ republican rally, to be held at Brook, ind., on the farm of the humorist, George Ade, announces that the rally is going to be the biggest republiear event Indiana will see this campaign. < “All the big guns are going to be there,” said Mr. Hernley. “The only thing that is bothering Mr. Ade Is the fact that it is going to take forty of his best beef cattle to satisfy the hunger of the crowd.” The rally will take place on Sept. 30th. This date was fixed Wednesday and letters were sent out by Mr. ftemly from the rooms of the republican state committee. Hernly said that the farmers of Indiana and Michigan would be invited to attend. In a leter which Hernly sent to the committee at Brook, he said: “This is to be a barbecue and we must fur-

OMAR C. RITCHIE RECALLS THE GOOD OLD DAYS

When Simon Thompson Weis School Superintendent and Simon Phillips and Norm Warner Were Instructors

Among the many letters received by Secretary Sigler, of the home coming invitation committee, we publish the following from Omar C. Ritchie, of Anderson, who recalls the "old days” spent in Jasper county. As he has already taken his vacation it will be impossible for him to be here at the home coming. His letter folowsi . * Anderson, Ind., Aug. 20, 1908. 'Committee on Invitation, ‘ Rensselaer ' Some^CotarngT^" My Dear Old Friends: It pleased me to receeiVe your invitation to “The Rensselaer Home Coming” and your names recall so many pleasant incidents in and about good old Rensselaer, in the never to be forgotten days when we were “all so happy and so p’ore.” It makes me' think of old school dayß at the Alfred Hoover school house, -when- Simon Thompson was county superintendent of schools and would tell our teacher how to instruct us to bring out the best and noblest qualities, (and those teachers deserve a crown, for they builded well, considering the times). Then later, when Simon Phillips and "Norm” Warner, would endeavor to give us youngsters Instruction in the “Graces” as exemplified In Charley Starr’s hall, 3rd floor. Again, we were hungry for instruction, and in due time, became almost as graceful and proficient as our able Instructors. Then to cary the monotony of that life, we would occasionally receive Instructions of

Baseball Nets $31 10 for Charity.

Tbe baseball game played in Rensselaer some weeks age between tbe Knights of Pythias teams of the Remington and Rensselaer lodges was largely attended and after all expenses had been paid there was left f 31.10, which manager Blon K. Zimmerman has placed in the bank to the credit of Mrs. Abbie Roberts, who will use It during the winter for such charities as she and her co-workers in the field of charity deem worthy. It was a quite proper disposition to make of the surplus of tbe game.

nish roast beef, potatoes, bread and butter and coffee for all the pepole who go. In addition to being a big republican event we propose to help you make it the biggest farmers’ rally ever held. Capt. Jack Gowdy will be there, dead or alive —also Jim Watson. J. S. Sherman will be invited and we are still urging President Roosevelt to attend this rally. He has, however, said he would make no speeches in the campaign, but we may get him to change his mind. Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural Department says he will surely attend. I have made arrangements with Will H. Hays, chairman of the speakers’ bureau, to bring all of the speakers tbat he haa on his list to this rally. This is to be »n outing for the state committee and I shall expect all of the stenographers and everybody to go with me as my guests.” This, rally was planned by Mr. Ade and Mr. Hernly when the latter visited Ade at his farm last spring. Ade .s enthusiastic in his support of the republican ticket, and proposes to help his guests arouse republican enthusiasm. Mr. Hernly said further in his letter: “Macklin Arbuckle, whom you know played the part of Jim Hackler, the county chairman, in Ade’s great production, has been invited to be present and preside at the meeting.”

another kind from Elder Halstead. He was Just as able in his class, as i Phillips and Warner, in theirs, and we do not know how much we owe him, in giving the credits. Then when it came to farming and stock raising (our business at that time) where could you find better instructors than “Lute” Strong, John Makeever, David Nowels, "Jim” Randle or Henry Harris. All successful men, the best in their class. Then in merchandising, three never was but one~ Abe Leopold. It was no "trouble” at all for him to sell a $5.00 overcoat to us for only, $27.00. I don’t know how much of my small success in life I owe to Abe Leopold and Willis Imes, but I do owe a heap to my fine, old, Jasper county friends, and it 4s bitter indeed that I will be unable to meet with you again and enjoy the good fenrrwsKlb that is Always to be found in good old Rensselaer, I have already spent my vacation of three weeks, in Texas and my partner, Mr. Stein, a Grand Army man, will be taking his vacation at the time you state and expects to be at the Grand Encampment, at Toledo, Ohio, the days I would love to be in Rensselaer. I saw Capt Jack Gowdy, last Saturday. He said he would be with you one day and insisted on my going, but it is impossible this year. Wishing you fine weather, (which means everything) and assuring you of my heartiest sympathy in four success, I am, your friend,

Asks Patronage of Public.

Having taken charge of the McKay laundry I wish to say to those who have been patrons of It during the time that Mr. McKay has conducted it, that I desire their continued patronage, and will try to justify the same by turning out high class work and by promptness in all collections of clothing and In all deliveries. If errors are made in collecting the laundry, a telephone message to the laundry will prompt attention. Hoping to merit the patronage of the public and promising the beet laundry product that my years of experience have made It possible for me to turn out, I am, very truly, AUSTCfc HAAS.

City Coucil Proceedings.

At the city council meeting Monday evening steps were taken to have a 4 foot cement walk built from Washington street to St Joseph’s college. The faculty of the "college have long desired a walk to the college and have made a proposition that has been accepted by the city and the walk will be -built at once. The college offers to construct that part of the walk in the corporation for 6 cents per square foot. Thq usual price is 10 cents. The city attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution for same and the walk will be built The college will at once begin the part of the walk along their real estate and will bid 6 cents per foot on the balance and if any contractor wants the work at a less price he is at liberty to bid on the work. The council approved a contract made with L. C. Klosterman, the civil engineer at St Joseph’s college, to act as city engineer during the absence of Engineer Gamble, and he may be eemployed permanently later. The fire company were allowed $1 each for being called out at the McKay alarm. The superintendent was instructed to repair a leak in the water pipe at the city halL An ordinance regulating the location of stone crushers was continued.

The street committee reported that they had contracteed with W. F. Smi.h & Co. for gravel from Van Rensselaer street to be used on each side of the stone on Cornelia street from Front to Division street at 25 cents per yard. Their report was approved. The following bills were allowed:

Lone Thief Holds Up 150 Passengers

A telegram from Butte, Mont., recounts the act of a highway man Mon- j day who held up and robbed 150 pass:n i gers of 7 stage coaches in Yellow- ; Stone Park. Considerable local in-! terest has been taken in the "holdup” because Mr. and Mrs. James H. | Chapman and Miss Marjorie Loughridge are now touring in the park, and their friends here think it is just about time that they were staging through the wild interior of the Col. Fred Phillips is also at Yellowstone, but as he expected to do the park on horseback in company with an old cow boy friend, it is hardly probable that they were among the stage coach passengers. The highwayman held up seven dis- 1 ferent stage coaches,and secured about $6,000. He then took one of the horses and escaped to the north, fnd shortly after three troops of United States cavalry were in pursuit. The passengers were not injured.
