Poor Health Compels J. W. Smith to Leave Rensselaer.

Poor health is responsible for J. W. Smith’s decision to remove to Globe, Arizona, for which place himself and family will depart the last of this week. “Jack,” as he is called by about every person who knows him, is a painter and paperhanger and a splendid workman as well as an honest and upright citizen, and when his health became so bad that he could not work longer he was burdened with jobs, which he reluctantly had to dismiss. His lurngs are affected and It is quite probable that a change of climate will restore him to health. He will rent his residence property, 1 storing his household goods with the expectation and hope of some time returning to “the old town.” His family consists of a wife and two children, a son 14 yearn and a daughter 13. He has acquaintances at Globe and will be able, he is told by his physician, to work at his trade again aifter a little rest and recuperation. Himself ♦and family will carry with them the best wishes of their Rensselaer friends. Virginia Brooks Washburn, modem Joan of Arc, has announced her candidacy for aldermanic office in the twentieth ward, Chicago. There is a vacancy in the city council, created by the death of Emanuel Abrahams, who was stricken with apoplexy at a council meeting on July 1.
