Special to Chicago Went Through Here Mile a Minute.

The Purdue special from Lafayette to Chicago went through Rensselaer at 9:30 this morning at the rate of a mile a minute. Ten minuter later it passed through Fair Oaks, 11 miles north and in 20 minutes after it passed Rensselaer it was taking water at Shelby. The speed Tnania at Purdue'is rampant and when the special was arranged for it was provided that a fast run be made. Traveling Passenger Agent Johh Priest put on one of the best passenger engines the road owns and secured, a clear track. The rooters will make things lively in Chicago. \
