I® ■ I| 11 li| IIJF gggU» n| K B Coprrlsht 1909, by C. E. Zimmerman CO.--M 0.26 The Old Cabinet Maker Says: That it is a shame to let the backs of such pretty pieces of furniture go up against the wall, for the backs of these pieces show their splendid construction. However, it is not the backs, but the splendid* design of the different dressers in our stock, which we wish to talk of—their beautiful design and the excellent material of which they are made. Most stores would call it a “Sale,” but with us, low prices are perpetual, for we buy right and our prices represent the lowest margin of profit on which we can conduct our business. They are all marked in plain figures, for you know we are one-priced. Rich and poor alike buy in our store, and you also have the satisfaction of knowing that the place at which you bought is the lowest at which we or anyone else could possibly sell you.

Remington to Have Electric Light System.

Remington Press. At the regular town board meeting last Friday night an ordinance was passed and a contract awarded Lyle M. Barnes, of Monticello, to install an electric light plant here. The streets are to be lighted with 70 incandescent street lights of 60 candle power which will cost the town about $1,600 a year, with an all-night service. This is a reasonable price compared with our neighboring towns. The contract Mr. Barnes has accepted gives him until Sept. Ist to have the plant installed and in operation. He is looking for a location and hopes to have the plant in operation by AUgust Ist, as the Fountain Park board would like to have the grounds lighted during the assembly, if terms can be agreed upon. Mr. Barnes has -operated a plant in Monticello for several years and comes here highly recommended. With the present water works system and a good electric lighting system we will have a town our citizens can well be proud of.

Two years ago we had snow on the second day of June and twenty-one years ago it snowed all the afternoon of Decoration Day. The Longcliff hospital at Logansport has again become too small. A couple of years ago its capacity was increased to 1,000, but now the institution is crowded and there are fifty-two patients waiting to be received. It is thought probable that another building for patients will be necessary in the near future. The recent increase 1H capacity was made by installing more beds and making use of all the available room. The men’s departis full, the capacity limit being that. number of men patients. While there are at present few vacancies in the women’s department, it is only temporary, as the number waiting is in excess of the vacancies.

State University Astronomers Take Photographs of Comet

Astronomers at Indiana University secured several photographs of Halley’s comet the first of the week. One picture reproduced in the Indianapolis News of Friday evening. While the comet will reach its closest point to the earth on Wednesday, May 18th, it is believed that it will not be visible again until after that time, the astronomers say until it has passed in front of the sun. The Chicago Tribune attributes the fact that the comet has not been visible for several days to the great forest fires in the north, the smoke from which he believes obscures the view. If the comet should again become visible these would be fine nights for comet parties or balls, which are being held at many other places. Mrs. Maud Ellers, of near Valparaiso, who came here to attend the funeral of her sister, Grace Templer, whose death occurred at the home of her step-father, N. Zimmer, of scarlet fever, went to Wanatah today. She did not know her sister was sick until a'ter her death and arrived here too late for the funeral and as the home was quarantined, she was unable to go there and remained at the home of H. C Hoshaw. Her brothers, Frank Templer, of Chicago, and John Templer, of Hobart, also .came after their sister had been buried. They were grief stricken at her sad and sudden death.

For some time he has been the claim agent for the leading electric railroad in that hustling metropolis and recently he was chosen as the assistant superintendent of the combined railroad systems of the city. The new appointment gives him a salary of $175 par month and does not take much of his time away from his other business. He is an attorney, devoting most of his time to the examining of abstracts and the approving of loans for large corporations. He is getting rapidly to the front, which will be good news to his many old friends in Rensselaer. He has contributed $5 toward the Milroy monument fund.
