Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 November 1908 — Page 5 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Sr. and Mrs. Phillip Blue have, med from a several weeks visit with their daughters, Mrs. Louella Brown at Minneapolis, Minn., and* Mrs. Pearl Patterson at New Boston, 111. O. H. McKay has moved into the room next to the Little Gem Bakery and will conduct a restaurant and soft drink shop. The room on Cullen street was abandoned Friday, and the new restaurant will be open today for business. Mr. McKay understands the business and will serve nothing but first class eatables. \jThe first snow fell here Wednesday and the democrats generally wore their overcoats, but when tjiey saw the papers Thursday morning, notwithstanding the weather was pretty cool,, they could go in their shirt-sleeves—Charles B. Landis had been defeated for Congress in the ninth district and had lost his home county by 277 votes! pQuite a large sum was wagered fii Rensselaer on the result of the governorship of Indiana, probably >I,OOO altogether, and the losers are now joining in the .popular cry of their party in damning Hanly, who, with the Anti-Saloon ally, is being generally, blamed by them for Watson’s defeat. Very little was wagered here on the national election.

The dredge is again beaded westward, and owing to the cold weather it being impossible to do any more blasting, all that can be done any more is to finish the rest of the dirt work and leave the rock work until spring. The danger of a gorge of ice however is averted as the dredge will winter down below town where ''“there is much more chance- for the water to get away than there is further up this way. |\The “Hotel Rosey” has been moved up stairs and the restaurant down stairs has been abandoned. The dining room will be where it was for years, in the rear of the buttdlng, - and the office will be where is Was for many years before Mrs. Rosenbaum took charge of the business. J She will also run' the Little Gem Bakery in connection with the hotel, although the bakery will remain where it is now, -on Van Rensselaer street. The heating system at the school buildings is being repaired again. Some time ago it sprung a leak and was repaired, but a little later it was discovered that the pipe through which air is forced by a little engine at the light plant bad rusted so badly that it was full of holes, and of course little if any air could be forced through it. It is thought that these repairs, which consist of replacing the rusted gaspipe with a new and larger one, can b'e done without digging up all the pipe from the school house's to the light - plant. . The work is being rushed so. as to anticipate a cold snap which might put the schools out of commission. Our friend Everett Halstead is not feeling good over the local election in Newton township, where the, democratic ticket received mrfihy more Votes than there was democrats in the township. Nor could this result be attributed to thez fact that the candidates were not all good men. for they were, but ft was caused by the fact that the republicans., were fighting one another. The man and his friends whose hide -Is hung on the fence always feeds’ worse than the man and his friends who removes the {hide'and hangs it on the fence. I Str. . Moflan’s defeat can be attribute* to an Internlcene party war and/ nothing else, although the | d ®W’^W*M Wa P 8 were •menanif pSW. J v-
