Get Your Sale Bills Here.

The Republican is better able than ever before to print sale bills this year, and to get them out with expedition and in the most approved manner. All of the stock cuts owned by both the Republican and the Journal are at the disposal of the customers and expert printers in charge of the work in every department. Remember that when the bills are printed at the Republican office the printing carries with it the publication of the sale notice in the Semi-Weekly Republican, which enters almost every farm home in Jasper county. The season for sales has begun and there will undoubtedly be many of them this year, and we should like to print every sale bill used in Jasper county this year. We use a good quality of board, publish the entire list of property to be sold in the Republican, and can arrange with all who like to have the sale notices insreted in the Wheatfield qr Roselawn papers, which have a circulation covering the entire north part of Jasper and Newton counties. Orders by mall or telephone given prompt attention.

Lowell Beats Rensselaer 15 to 4

Rensselaer got trimmed in its football game with Lowell at the latter place Sunday, the score ending Lowell 15; Rensselaer 4. From all acounts Rensselaer played a very ragged game, the result of having no practice, but they are of the opinion that Lowell can not repeat the dose and it is probable that a return game will be played here either the Tuesday or Wednesday after Thanksgiving, and if the game takes place a great crowd will probably turn out to witness it Lowell was the first to score Sunda'" making a drop kick. Near the end of the first half Morgan made a drop kick and tied the score. In the second half Lowell make two touch downs and kicked one goal, making the. final score Lowell 15; Rensselaer 4. Rensselaer got within striking distance of the Lowell goal two or three times, but lost the ball on fumbles or bad other misfortunes. Frank Maloy and Walter White will have something to crow about for a year or more.

Farmers Talk of Building Elevator.

For the past two' weeks a number of farmers have been talking of organizing and building an elevator on the co-operative plan. The proposition seems to be taking tangible form and it is probable that a meeting of farmers will be called early in December at which time they will have a representative here from some farmers’ elevator company to explain the method of operation. The reason for taking this step, the farmers allege, is that where the co-operative plan is employed a better price is assured the farmer for his grain.

False Rumor Started.

It was rumored on the streets of Rensselaer Saturday afternoon and evening that Miss Lucile Marshall, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Marshall, had died at the home of the Marshall family in Medford, Oreg., and the Republican office was besieged by telephone messages from her many friends from all over the city and country, asking about the report. No message had been received here by either Western Union nor telephone, and it is altogether probable that the report gained cii culation from the news received the same day that Lucile’s cousin, Katharine Marshall, was married at St. Paul, Minn.

Guard Against Diphtheria.

Diphtheria has become so prevalent over the state that a general epidemic is feared by the State Board of Health, which has just issued a special bulletin concerning the disease, from which we take the following regarding its sanitary features! “Diphtheria is contagious and infectious. Membranous croup is diphtheria of the larynx, is the most serious and fatal form of diphtheria, and requires extraordinary care. “Diphtheria may be acquired by direct exposure of the well to those suffering with the disease, and also through clothing and other articles that have come in contact with the sick. Diphtheria is not confined to children. Adults may and do have it Indeed, It is almost as common among adults as among children, but adults do not so often die from it “One attack of diphtheria does not afford lor protection against subsequent attacks. “Diphtheria poison may remain Inactive in a house for a long time, and, unless destroyed by. disinfectants, may cause a new outbreak at any time. The spread of diphtheria Is favored by fautly ventilation, over crowding, filthy, conditions of habitations and persons, damp cellers and general dampness of houses. “Animals may have diphtheria. Common fowls, cats and cows are liable to the disease. “The origin of the seeds of diphtheria, like the origin of corn and wheat, is unknown; but it is known absolutely that every case of the disease proceeds from a previous case. “Diphtheria Is more common in the cold months, for then there is less fresh air in the houses, and colds and irritated air passages more generally prevail. Persons who have catarrh, or whose health is run down, or who are underfed, are apt to catch diphtheria,**

Takes Prohibitionists To Task.

The following article which appeared in a recent issue of the Indianapolis Star is by an uncle of James Bishop, who recently married Miss Bertha Nichols. It takes the prohibitionists to task in no uncertain terms. A glance at the result of the vote in Indiana shows that there were enough prohibitionists in the state to have elected James E. Watson and a majority of the legislature, and they could have proven themselves practical reformers by voting that way. It was not that Mr. Marshall himself was in

favor of or opposed to temperance advancement, -it was the attitude of the two parties to the county option question, which the brewers openly said meant practical prohibition. In Jasper county there were 70 prohir bition votes for the national ticket and 63 for the state, showing that only 7 scratched their tickets and it is not certain that these scratched for Watson. The campaign was an educator, and has served to show the impractical position of prohibitionists. Here is the article contributed to the Star: To the Indianapolis Star: I want to say to “Workers for Wages,” in defense of “Disgusted Reformer,” that the latter has abundant reasons for repudiating the Prohibition party, inasmuch as that party i ignores any temperance reforms enacted or proposed by any other political party than its own, and that when the Republican party, as a party of power, made the great sacrifice, knowing at the same time that whole platoons would leave its ranks, and set about temperance legislation; and when the battle came on and the best men of the best party that ever existed were on the firing line, what did the Prohis do to succor the batter columns? Simply turned on their heels and ran away. W’hat have you done to help hold the vantage gained in that battle? When the election came to decide whether we should hold it, you, by your stolid indifference and partisanship, allowed your strength indirectly to go to the enemy of reform. The former victors were thus swept from the field, and the fruits of years of temperance legislation probably Jost. Why should not any sensible reformer be disgusted? If a city were in flames, knowing you could not save the city as a whole, you would not, judging by your present attitude, put forth a hand to save a portion of it. Your cry is state-wide and national prohibition, yet if either of the old parties should adopt this in their platforms I think your party would oppose them. Reforms must ride in on your wagon or not at all. Even now, only by close and systematic working of the field can saloons be ousted, and only by the hardest fight known in state politics was the option law passed. Hov, then, do you expect to annihilate the business? You hold that the Moore law and the option law are not temperance laws at all, yet thousands of redeemed and reformed men attest the utter falsity of that We had reason to believe you would help us, but you failed us in the hoqr of trial. Thousands of men whp were favorably considering you noyv bid you good-by. The Republican party will be in the field again in two years, and in triumph or defeat will persistently push forward by the left flank like Gen. Grant until we reach our Appomattox. ,CHARLES W. RICKETTS. Sheridan, Ind.
