NO MORE MAIL TO BE DELIVERED SUNDAY.

First and Second Class Postoffices to Re Closed Hereafter on '' Sunday. The Rensselaer postoffice will not be opened hereafter at the noon hour on Sundays unless the present law should be changed in the future. A dispatch from Washington says: All first and second-class postofflees will be closed on Sundays as a result of one provision of the new postal appropriation bill, passed by congress and signed by President Taft. Every important city in the United States is affected. Hereafter only special delivery letters will pass through on that day and no mail will he placed in lock boxes. Postoffices in several cities have been closed 'Sundays heretofore. The postmaster-general ihas permitted that under a regulation where it was evident that local sentiment demanded it. The closing is now compelled by law. The jiffy curtains are a feature of the R-C-H cars that are meeting with instant favor by the public. Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Wartena, of Leroy, 111., who Jjave been visiting relatives here for a few days, Went to Chicago today for a short visit before returning to their home. Big sale on boys’ plain knee trousers, 50c, 75c, SI.OO and $1.50 grades C. EARL DUVALL. J. P. Overton went to Lafayette to spend the day. From there he will go to (Frankfort and then to Indianapalis, where he will attend the state fair. He will visit with relatives while there and will probably remain for two or three weeks. Warner Bros, killed a large black snake in their store room yesterday, the second in two years. The snakes are supposed to have crawled up the sewer into the basement of the building from the river and from the basement upstairs to the store room. The Chicago excursion run last Sunday over the Monon was a record breaker so far as Rensselaer is concerned, 193 tickets having been sold. The previous record for this summer was 92. It is understood, however, that Chicago was not over-crowded, as many of the people stopped at Cedar Lake for the day. In regard to the article published in yesterday’s daily about the condition of Mrs. Matie Hopkins at the Hahnemann hospital in Chicago, the Republican erroneously stated that Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Roberts paid the visit to Mrs. Hopkins while there. Instead, as we were Informed later in the day by Mrs. Roberts, she was accompanied there by Mrs. Mary D. Eger and not Mr. Roberts. Little mistakes such as this will occur in spite of infinite editorial care. Though harmless In substance, they are a trifle annoying.
