One of the features at the Remington horse show yesterday was a ball game between Wadena and Oxford. The first named team was successful, winning by a score of 8 to 0. I, Mr. and Mrs. Will H. Brenner and son, Andrew Max, of Winchester, came this morning to visit Rensselaer relatives and friends. They are getting along nicely in the hotel business at Winchester. J Mrs. Mollie Ward Butler, formerly of Monticello, and now at the head of a hospital at Newcastle, was the guest over night of Mrs. Fred Phillips. She came from Newcastle to attend the funeral of Dr. Medaris, of Brookston. Will Knox is down from Chicago visiting his father, T. C. Knox and family. He has been in business for himself for some time, running a drug store and getting along fine. Business is good, his trade growing, and Will has a smile that is as broad as Taft’s. Mrs. A. Collins returned this morning from Indianapolis, being accompanied by her son’s wife, Mrs. Ray Collins and her two children. Mrs. Ray Collins is recovering from a severe case of typhoid fever and came here to spend the convalescent period. Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, has written answers to several questions concerning the legality of paying teachers for holidays, particularly Thanksgiving day. Many teachers wish to attend the teachers’ association meeting Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving. Mr. Greathouse held that the teachers could be paid for Thanksgiving day and the following Friday, but not for Saturday, as the latter day is not a school day.

The new depot will hardly be done in two weeks and it will not be surprising if it is not ready for occupancy much before Nov. Ist, although the foreman of the construction force says that he will have it ready in two weeks easy, if his material arrives. The tile flooring, the toilets, the roof, the windows and doors are yet to be finished, as also is the construction of the brick platform. The heating plant is now being installed. The depot will be a very fine one and a great credit to Rensselaer, .and Agent Beam is asking the officials to equip his office with some moderm furniture in keeping with the new station. Quite a large number went to Remington and vicinity Friday, to attend the horse show. The crowd was not large that day, but the show was excellent Twenty-one single driving horses were exhibited. Rensselaer came in for a liberal share of premiums. D., T. Halstead won with his sorrel saddle horse, and Miss Nellie Kennedy, of Morocco, won first premium driving Mr. Halstead’s team of dun mares, and the same team won as the best matched team when shown by Boyd Porter. June Henkle won first with his stallion, Cora Onward. Chauncey Wood’s colt won first in the 2-year-old harness class and 2nd in the general purpose class. Lewis Tolbert, of Wabash, is the judge. Judge Hanley sustained the demurrer of Attorney Moses Leopold in the case of the State vs. John Weast, holding that Weast was not bonded by the verbal acknowledgment and that the attachment against his property shall be released. This does not affect the confiscated goods, which will remain in the custody of Sheriff Hoover. As Weast is said to owe to George McCarthy most of the purchase price for the pool tables and fixtures and as most of the bottling establishments took back the unsold goods, claiming that it had not been paid for, there would have been little if anything to have taken to satisfy the bond, had it been held. good. If Weast stays away, which seems quite probable, the officials will be satisfied and« lot of costs saved.
