DON’T FAIL TO ATTEND YOUR CONVENTIONS.

Get Out and Help Nominate Men That Will Be a Credit To the City and Give Good Administration.] ‘ Republicans should give some thought to the matter of the men whom they wish to nominate for office, and should go to their respective ward conventions Tuesday night and vote for their men for councilmen and then turn out Wednesday night and vote for their choice for mayor, city clerk, city treasurer and councilmen at large. See the call in the Republican, remember where your ward convention is to be held and have some man in mind whom you think has the qualities of fairness and business ability and support him. The names of many good men have been talked of for mayor. George Meyers, Walter V. Porter, Dr. H. B. Brown, C. G. Spitler, J. H. S. Ellis, George Fate, Hale Warner and others have been mentioned. There seems to be only one candidate for the office cf clerk and only one for treasurer. Chas. Morlan has held the former for sqyeral years and very creditably, and Ray Thompson’s ability and location makes him a very desirable man for treasurer. The important thing is to get efficient business men on the council and every republican voter should attend the ward convention and the general convention and nominate and, support men who will fill the high requirements of these offices. Remember that the ward conventions are Tuesday night and the general convention Wednesday night. All at the court house.

Card of Thanks. We extend our thanks to each and every one for their kindness and for their many gifts of flowers in our sad bereavement in the death of our little son, Omer. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer B. Smith and family. Five inch lump Indiana coal delivered at $3.75 per ton; at bins $3.50. This is forked and free from slack; 25 cents less if scooped. S. W. H. Hocking is a poor grade of Indiana coal and you are paying too much if you are paying more than the above prices. MAINES & HAMILTON.

THE BIG HORSE SHOW WILL OPEN THURSDAY.

Preparations All Made For the Big Event and Every Beason to Expect Large Crowds. The horse show will open Thursday morning at 10 o’clock and from that time on until Saturday night good crowds should be in Rensselaer. The premium list is very attractive hnd covers every class of horses bred in this section of the state. As all entries are absolutely free to all entries from Jasper or adjoining counties It is expected that many who have little expectation of winning prizes will bring in their horses any way, and thus help make the show a complete success. , As previously published in these columns the stock will be given free quarters in the Leek hitch barn, a part of which the horse show association has rented for the three days. Mr. Leek hesitated about letting the barn go for fear of disappointing some of his regular patrons, but finally, in a patriotic Interest for the success of the movement he rented part of the barn and then contributed sls toward the show. A few changes have been made in the program since it was first published, although they are not material. C. P. Wright has given an additional special prize of ten pounds of alfalfa seed to the exhibitor of the best draft Alley colt. Mrs. John Duvall has offered an additional prize of an angel food cake for the best lady driver.. The prize for the stuffed club contest will be a ham. This novel event consists of blindfolding the contestants, supplying each with a stuffed club, turning them loose and the first one that hits a ham suspended from a wire, gets it. The shoe contest will take place at the ball park after the game Friday. This contest can not be pulled off except in a large field, and at the conclusion of the ball game any one can be admitted to the ball ground free of charge. All the other contests will take place on the main streets or on the court house lawn, and the time of their holding will be announced by members of the committees. The balloon ascension will take place from Milroy park each evening at about 4 o’clock.

Claude Madden, of Kingman, Ind., has been engaged as the judge, and is one of the most capable horsemen in Indiana. The Wolcott band will be here all three days and will give concerts every evening as well as playing through the day. In addition to the concert in the evening, the Princess Theatre will have a good nightly program and J. H. S. Ellis has arranged for a good vaudeville performance each night at the opera house. Another show entitled the “Congress of Living Curiosities,” moved in Sunday and pitched just west of the Republican office. They have a tent show, which the manager is pleased to call “The most stupendous and palatial combination of natural wonders in the history of America”. They have a large number of people and will give shows early and late. Oxford will play ball Thursday and Brook will play Friday. On Saturday the Rensselaer high school will play football with the Lafayette Central high school, opening the local football season. An admission of 25 cents will be charged to all of these games. The weather outlook is a little bad at present, but it will probably clear up by Thursday. The horse show should produce some wholesome rivalry that will result in a great amount of good for bleeders and; cause a determination to raise better horses each year. It is worthy the attendance and support of every farmer in Jasper and adjoining counties, and every person with a good looking animal shpuld get it ready for the show and bring it in.
