OUR LITTLE SISTER
West Indianapolis Finally Be-
comes a Full-Fledged City.
A Close Vote at the Election Held Yes
terday-A Mayor and Other Of
ficers to Be Chosen.

West Indianapolis is now a city. That
was the result of yesterdays election In
that place. At Town Board meeting sew
eral weeks ago the board took the neces-
sary steps to hold an election to decide the
question of Incorporating the town into a
city. The arguments at the time were that
the board of three members was insufficient
to legislate for so large an Incorporation
as West Indianapolis, which boasts OF a
population of over 5000 inhabitants. The
question has been agitated by both par
ties since that board meeting. The polls
opened at o'clock in the morning, and
throughout the day 1t was observed that
very light vote would be cast, and such was
the case. 1t took but few moments to
count the ballots after the polls were
closed. The reports from the valley
came in first. The first precinct gave for
ty-one votes in favor of the change with
seventy-three votes against IL. The other
precincts then followed In rapid succession,
which resultN as follows: Second pre-
cinct. SO votes in favor, with Sc against;
the third. with so votes in favor and 81
votes against; the fourth precinct. with 81
votes in favor and 81 votes against; the
fifth precinct. with Ga votes in favor and
81 votes against; the sixth district, with los
votes IN 1aVOr ana 90 votes against, ana the
seventh precinct, with 104 votes in favor
and Al votes against This gives a total
Of 46s votes in favor Of the change and 42S
votes against IL.
The Town Board at the meeting next
Monday night will set aside day to hold
the election. The result OF yesterdays
election will call forth great hustlng from
office seekers of both parties. The mayoral-
ty will be the much desired office The
knowing ones of the Democratic party are
of the opinion that w. J. Shinn. who has
been at the head of the Democracy of West
Indianapolis for years, Will declare himself
"a nominee for the office, though Mr. Shinn
Is reported as stating that he is not seek
Ing the office. The Republicans have an
abundance of material. a number are in
favor of Cy Clark for the place, though
he too has stated that he is not after the
office. The question of getting candidates
Is not creating much worrying, there
are hundred applicants for every office.
The regular city elections i'm the State
outside of indianapolis and Evansville are
held on the first Tuesday I'm May, and it
Is quite probable that the trustees will set
this day for the city election The city
will probably be divided into three or four
wards. with two counclmen from each
ward II the three wards remain as they
now are the Republicans will have four
representatives in the council and the DEM
ocrats two. The Mayor and clerk will hold
office for four years.

PURDUE'S NEW TRUSTEE.
James NJ. Reynolds, of Lafayette, the
Republican Member.

James NJ. Reynolds, Of Lafayette, was
yesterday appointed a trustee of Purdue
University, to succeed Colonel Dresser
whose recent death left n vacancy on the
board. Mr.. Reynolds is a man of large
means who is engaged extensively in real
estate operations. He is thoroughly in SYM
pathy with Purdua's success and appears to
be lust the man for the place. President
Smart, and others prominently identified
with the institution, favored the selection of
Mr. Reynolds, whom they regard as a val
liable man for Purdue. He is Republican
and the nonpartisan character of the board
is thus maintained.

The officers of the workhouse are happy
in the possession of a recent gift, a pathet-

loss for a name. Some suggested Bull
others thought that the name of Towser
couldn't be beat. There was such a differ

was decided to ignore them and to accept
the name that chanced to first attract the
attention of the majority of the officers.
