Celebration Not Dead By Any Means—Over $300 Subscribed.

Rensselaer is to celebrate the Fourth of July after all, and the celebration will be a big one. Mose Leopold was not willing to see the matter drop and got busy yesterday with a'subscription paper and this morning reports that over S3OO has been subscribed by the business men. He set out to raise at least S4OO and feels confident of getting of at least that much, if not more. This will insure a rousing celebration in connection with the unveiling of the Milroy monument. After the money is raised the comwill get busy and prepare a program. In this connection it may be proper to suggest that none of the money be expended on an outside band. Rensselaer now has a good band of Its cwn, composed of young men who should be encouraged and given all the assistance possible, both morally and financially. They are able to furnish music satisfactory to all. Those they cannot satisfy would not be satisfied with music from any place. Encourage the boys and keep the money at home.
