The year-old babe of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Swartzell was operated on by Dr. English yesterday tot an abcess in the groin. It was quite a severe case, but it is thought the babe will get along all right now. At the meeting of the Indiana Retail Furniture Dealers at Indianapolis Wednesday, Omar Ritchey of Anderson, formerly of Rensselaer, was elected president and Jay W. Williams, our local dealer, was elected a member of the executive committee. Professors H. L. Gamble and J. J. Montgomery, with their assistants, will have charge of the fireworks, and it is the intention to shoot them from the top of the State Bank building, the east side. This will give the crowd a chance to congregate on the court house square and in Washington street east of Van Rensselaer. Unless we are very much mistaken this display of pyrotechnics will be something extraordinarily grand for this part of the country, and we want every one of The, Democrat readers who can do so to come in and witness them. Don’t forget to bring the children, also. T.B.McManus of Duluth, Minn., the owner of the east part of the Nowels block, was here Thursday looking after his property. Mr. McManus is a member of the Board of Grain Appeals, of Minnesota, an appointee under the present democratic governor, Gov. Johnson. By the way, Gov. Johnson is the only native governor Minnesota has ever had, and he is the son of a Swede blacksmith who drank too much for his own good or the good of his family, and his son, now the governor of that great state, was compelled at the age of 12 years to assist his mother, who took in washing, in supporting the family. The rise of Governor Johnson has been phenomenal, and the end is not yet.
