Some time in August the Valparaiso Messenger noted that it had received a copy of tlie Rensselaer Evening Republican dated for last February, the presumption being that the paper had been lost in the mail. Yesterday we received a copy of the Messenger dated for September 30th, ten days in advance. We can not blame this to the mail service, however, but possibly "Ziipmerman was so wrought up over the Laporte-Valpo ball game last Sunday that he wasn’t paying much attention to a little thing like dates. ’ One of the regular army officers who has been acting as a referee at the army maneuvers at Fort Benjamin Harrison is Major Edwin A.
