W. H. Myres is down from Parr today. He states that the creamery is getting along nicely. Since the butter making trade was learned by W. I Price, he has been assisted by Chas. U. Garriott, who is a good clerical hand. Churning is done three times a week and the butter finds a ready market, considerable of it being sold in Rensselaer. The Era, the leading London theatrical journal, has the following to say of Mrs. Earle Reynolds’ sickness: “Friends will be pleased to hear that Miss Nellie Donegan (Mrs. Earle Reynolds) is how well on the way to recovery. On Tuesday last she underwent tt very serious operation, performed by Dr. Hunter Richards, of Harley street. Mr. Alfred Butt and other managers have very kindly postponed ttye.dates of her engagements in consequence of her regrettable Illness.” You bet, the editor of the Democrat has a private bath in his home, although it is a rented home. He thinks such things are all right for him, but for “hired men,” why horrors, it’s simply outrageous to provide such luxuries. The toilet which the city council provided for its employes was installed after all the neighbors had put up a kick about having the employees ÜBe their’s. The Republican editors will not use the annex, however, and we are not worrying about the expense it has incurred. Probably our Democratic brother is clean enough externally, but if there was a means at hand for taking a liver wash, we would advise that he make daily use of it; it might cause him to cheer up and look on the bright side of life occasionally. This grouchy condition must be awful to have on board all the I time. L _ • ... \ i ..

Says Rensselaer Man Had $250 Stolen While at Logansport.

The Fowler Republican Leader prints the appended paragraph. If any Rensselaer man lost $250 at Logansport, he has not told about it here. A man was here from Logansport Saturday, who claimed he had lost $360 while attending the Buffalo Bill show there, and the Fowler paper evidently has the men confused. The paper says: A gentleman from Rensselaer last Friday attended the show at Logansport, and when he put his hand into his pocket to buy a ticket, he made the discovery that some one, while he was on his way to the show, had lifted his purse, which contained the snug sum of $250. He telephoned to the police of the surrounding cities to keep a watch out, and if they found some stranger with two hundred and fifty dollars that they thought might not belong to him, to let him know. As yet the police have not discovered either the money or the chap who took it.
