The drainage tube was removed today. William Coran, of Mabton, In the Yakima- valley of Washington, accompanied by his son, W. 0. Corah, of Chicago, were in Rensselaer today, and went from here to Remington, their former hornet and near which place the elder Corah has another son living. Dr. James K.

Mayor Spitler, in company with Editor Healey, went to Tefft this afternoon to look at one of the finest lots at Dunn’s pleasure resort, with the object of purchasing and erecting a summer cottage there. The lot is owned by the publishers of The Republican, but as they are too poor to build there they decided to put the lot on the market. The family of Hiram, Day have received word from Ed Smith, in to the effect that he has almost entirely recovered from the effects of the prolonged attack of pneumonia he had last winter, but that Mrs. Smith is in a serious condition, having a cancer of the breast and another in the stomach. She is to be taken to a hospital and indications are very unfavorable for her recovery. The city dads have been having our beautiful streets covered with an extremely disagreeable smelling sticky substance, commonly known as crude oil. The effect will be good after it has dried in a week or two, but just at present it is about as nasty as is possible to conceive. An auto on the street Wednesday go-’ ing north started to skid in the grease and by the time the driver had bhe machine stopped he was headed south.—Remington Press.
