FIRST SUCCESS FOR COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Rensselaer to Have Better Express Service as Result of Request by Committee Appointed. President Worland, of the Commercial Club, appointed a committee to look after several matters of importance. One was the securing of better express service. As a result a representative of the American Express Company visited Rensselaer Monday rented the Makeever room, just east of the Republican office, and the express office will be moved therein. The location is less central than heretofore, but that will be made up by the fact that a telephone is to be installed in -the office and a wagon is to be sent here to have entire charge of the express business. It will be driven by Ed Catt. Manager Reeve will be placed on a salary and will simply supervise the work and make the collections. It is understood that all the trains that previously carried mail will again be used, so that persons can get much improved service.
