ATTENDED SCHOOL IN "SHANGHAI" BUILDING

Frank J. Mayhew Writes From San Francisco and Sends Pictures of Indiana Building. San Francisco, Cal., April 22, 1915. Rensselaer Republican: Herein you will find three post cards showing the Indiana building and grounds at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco, which I thought would be of interest to you. I had the pleasure of meeting here a few weeks ago ex-Vice-President Fairbanks and hearing him talk before the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco on “The Panama Canal and the Exposition,” explaining the great benefits the canal would bring to the United States and particularly to the pacific coast. I have previously said to you that when a boy I was a resident of Rensselaer (1860-1665). I attended school in the “Shanghai” building, top floor, on the main street, which was the only school in town at the time. Later a school house was built in the northwestern part of town and Simon P. Thompson was the principal. Respectfully yours, FRANK J. MAYHEW.

WEDNESDAY FAIR SAYS WEATHERMAN

Forecast Says That “Market” Day Will Be Clear But Somewhat Cooler—Fine Prospect. The weatherman is doing all in his power to make “Market Day” a success. He has prophesied clear skies for Wednesday. He has also stated that it will be somewhat cooler in northwestern Indiana on that day. If the crowds coming to Rensselaer are as large as they were in March, and there is every reaosn to believe they will be, a little cooler temperature will be welcomed. The weatherman does not say that it will be any ways near the frost line, (perish the thought) and he does not say how much cooled it will be, but just says “somewhat” and that indicates just enough to make it comfortable for travelers and busy clerks. Merchants are busy today getting things in shape for the advent of the “Market Day” so that bargain hunters can be waited on with as much alacrity as possible. There seems nothing in. the way of repeating the March success and everything is in readiness for a busy and pleasant day.

He was represented by J. A. Dunlap. Garriott employed G. A. Williams and the case was warmly contested. The jury was out all night but finally united on a verdict ousting Garriott and giving Oliver possession.

G. W. Titus, of the Christian church, will preach the baccalaureate sermon. The paeeting of former graduates was held Monday evening and plans for the banquet begun. It was arranged to have the Methodist ladies serve the banqueters in the armory. Notices are to be sent to all graduates asking them to pay their annual dues of 50 cents and to attend the banquet if possible. The financing of this annual event is always a difficult matter and it is hoped that all former graduates will assist by paying their dues for the year.

HERE’S PROOF

A Rensselaer Citizen Tells of His Experinece. You have a right to doubt statements of people living far away but can you doubt Rensselaer endorsement? Reod it: William Clift, 528 College St., Rensselaer, says: “I had kidney and bladder trouble and my back ached severely. I didn’t sleep well and was annoyed by a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions. I took doctors’ medicine but found no relief until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. Since then my back hasn’t troubled men and I have felt better in every way.' It gives me great pleasure to endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney rejnedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—-the same that Mr. Clift had. Foster-Milbum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

GENUINE PRESCRIPTION FOR ALL RHEUMATISM

Satisfaction Guaranteed or Money Back, Says B. F. Fendig. • Rheuma—that is the name of the scientific prescription that is putting old rheumatism out of business. Rheuma cures by driving the uric acid from the blood. It also acts directly on the kidneys and is better for them than most so-called kidney cures. Porter Smith, Dobbin, W. Va., writes: “I have been a great sufferer from rheumatism for about 26 years. The disease had become chronic. I began taking Rheuma with littld faith in its virtues, but was better from the first day I began its use, and at this time have no more pain.” B. F. Fendig and all druggists sell rheuma, and no rheumatic sufferer can afford not to use it. 50 cents a bottle. Your money back if not satisfied.
