8. H. Cornwell, of Remington, was a Rensselaer visitor today and paid a visit to The Republican office. Mr. Cornwell succeeded G. H. Chappell in business there and is enjoying a good patronage in the insurance and general office work, such as making out legal papers, leases, mortgages, etc. Mr. Chappell is located at Dana, Ind. J. T. Karsner, who has been working for some time for Dr. H. L. Brown, has arranged to go to Zanesville, Ohio, to work for his nephew, Charles G. Wiltshire, who has leased a truck farm on which Tim will work. Charles is engaged in the private banking business, is the captain of a militia company on the side and still has time to manage a truck farm. Whether he talks of the Romance and Poetry of the Northland, the Ballades of Bourbonnais, Phases of Shakespeare’s Wit and Humor or The Singer of the Seven Seas, Wallace Bruce Amsbary will delight and instruct you. Hear him Monday night, March 9th, at the M. E. church. He is the fourth number of the union lecture course.

Mrs. William Daniels has given the contract to Fred McColly for the erection of a new house on the lots she owns on part of the former Edwin P. Hammond half block, on Division street. The house will consist of eight rooms, with basement under the entire house, with bath, heating plant and modern improvements. It is to be completed by July Ist and Mrs. Daniels will then occupy it, renting her house in the northeast part of town. -- Did it ever" occur to you that there are a lot of people who would be mighty glad to secure a 3 per cent investment after taxes are paid? The banks only pay 3 per cent and the depositor is liable for taxes almost equal to the interest. Certainly a larger per cent of interest would be attractive, but it would be a strange freak of a commission that would sanction a scheme to place any utility on a basis that would compel the committee to dig down ip its poeketsin order to provide a fat interest for a corporation. -
