Harding of New Orleans vpßlted from Friday till Monday with his little daughter who is spending the winter here with his sister, Mrs. J. A. Grant. While he used to live here, this was his first visit to Rensselaer in seven years. \Only one more case of .diphtheria Kas developed in Rensselaer thus fkr, making two cases altogether.

Hereafter the Anti-Saloon League will not mix in politics. The republicans will hardly ask their support again and the democrats have already proven that they do not need its assistance. In* promoting the temperance cause the Anti-Sa-loon League is a power for good, but when it mixes in politics the people considered it as a sort of a political aid society and it loses out no matter how sincere its intentions may be.—Ffancesvllle Tribune. D. A. Stoner of Wichita, Kan., dropped off the train here Sunday at 10:55 a. m., to “shake hands and say hello” to old friends. He had come to Chicago to attend the poultry show and run down to Rensselaer for a brief visit. He left here Monday afternoon for Morocco to see his mother, and went from there to Chicago. He has to hurry home after the Chicago poultry show as he has several shows to jttdge in Kansas yet this season. Dan is looking excellent and his new home evidently must agree with him.
