A large number of people attended the democrat rally at Lcgansport Thursday, accompanied by the Remington cornet band, the democrat drum corps and most of the members of the club. A fine time was expected and they were not dissappointed. Senator Tillman of South Carolina, will speak at Goodland one week from today, Oct., 27. The democrats of Goodland will make this the occasion for a rousing rally. A large number of people from Remington and vicinity have signified their intention of attending the meeting and hearing this famous orator. The speaking will be in afternoon. For about the sixth or seventh time in the past few years, the Geo. Mitten store at Wadena, was robbed on Thursday night of last week. About S2OO in postage stamps and a number of knives, razors and revolvers were taken. The robbers stole a horse of Fred Michaels, it is supposed, as some one took the animal on the same night of the robbery, and drove west.

The neutral (?) Remington Press publishes the McKinley army officers' eulogy on the army canteen, which has made drunkards out of thousands of soldier boys, according to reliable information gathered by the opponents of the liquor traffic, in spite of any statements to the contrary that may come from republican army officers through the republican newspapers. If the McKinley canteen system is such a great promoter of sobriety as this galaxy of army officers would have us beleive. it might not be, in view of the fact that one of the proprietors of the Remington Press not long ago paid several dollars to settle with an outraged father whose son he had mistreated while alleged to have been about "three sheets in the wind’ —it might not be, in view of this fact, a bad idea for the Press to adopt the canteen system on its own account,
