Some of Rensselaer’s business streets need to be improved badly. —-i , 8. C. Rosenberg, the life insurance man, was in the city this week. A boat came down the Wakarusa ditch and landed a boy at Barney Meinbrook’s last Friday. Workmen are engaged this week in putting in the bowling alley in the Strickfaden old saloon building. Application has been made to the Long Cliff asylum for the readmission of Miss Nancy Price, of Barkley tp.. whose condition has again become very bad. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Young, of Jonesboro, Indiana, have been visiting friends at their old home in Mt. Ayr, for several days, returning home Monday. Carrie Goodrich May, wife of Robt. May, died very suddenly on Monday of last week at her home in West Carpenter. Funeral was held Tuesday and interment made in Welsh cemetery. - - The Northwestern Dental College foot-ball team of Chicago ■ contested for honors with the j Rensselaer team at Riverside Park I last Tuesday afternoon, and were) defeated by a score , of 24 to 0 The supreme court decided this week the case of the state vs the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad company, holding that the company must pay the state $30,for the filing of the articles of incorporation whether the articles are filed or not. Geo. Strickfaden, Will Childers, Vance Collins, Christie Vick, Billy Frey and Esq. Burnham were before the United States grand jury at Indianapolis this week to give evidence in the case of Frank Bulger, the young man arrested here some weeks ago for passing raised bank notes. The Rensselaer Republican seemed to stand alone in urging Mr. -Pierson to contest the election of J. F. Major. The party was not anxious to countenance any contest for fear they would lose one and perhaps two commissioners. No notice of contest has been filed, and the limit for filing such notice expired Thursday night. Speaking about advertising in the local newspaper, a metropolitan journal is led to say: “The man who has something worth selling will find no difficulty in disposing of his wares, providing he jets those know who wish to buy. But the best of goods will remain on one’s hands if he conceals them in his place of business and does not let anybody know he has them. He who advertises the most along judicious lines sells the most .goods.” Readers of The Democrat will confer a favor by giving their patronage as much as possible to business men who patronize The Democrat’s advertising columns. No true business man should nor will let his politics or religion interfere with his business, and as The Democrat now has the largest country circulation of any paper published in the county, there is no good reason why its advertising columns should not be liberally patronized by advertisers. Show your appreciation of the patronage given the people by taking your own patronage to the men who advertise in its columns. A letter from Hon. D. H. Patton of Woodward, Okhaloma, states that his son Luther was elected clerk of that county by a plurality of 40 vot,es, and the democrats elected treasurer by 41, and sheriff by 10. The populists elected probate judge by a plurality of 80; register of deeds by 315; county assessor by 85. Republicans elected prosecuting attorney by 70 plurality. W. A; Trrugh, also formerly of Remington, who was a candidate for joint-representative, carried his own county by a plurality of 185, but was probably defeated by a small plurality, as the other county is quite strongly republican. At the time this letter was written the returns of the other county had not yet been received.
