STEALING OUR THUNDER

RENSSELAER, April 13.—Plans are being formulated here for the organization of a hotel company which will finance a $60,000 tourist hotel on the banks of the Iroquois river. Several subscriptions have already been made toward the stock and sale may be completed this week, as many of the wealthy business men of this vicinity are active in the organization. The plans are to build the hotel where it will be popular with tourists on the Jackson highway, which is heavily traveled in the summer months and place it under the management of Charles Moody, a well-known local hotel man, who was formerly manager of the Makeever hotel.—Lafayette Journal.
