The Rensselaer band boys, after the paying of other expenses of the late horse show here, were given SIOO for playing the four days. After they had paid their leader and an outside player employed, they had 62 cents per day for each of the other members of the band. Dr. F. H. Hemphill and Shelby Grant were among those from here who attended the centennial celebration at Battle Ground yesterday.

The weather this week started off almost identically the same as last week. Sunday was quite pleasant, as was the four days preceding, but rain started in Sunday night and kept falling all night long and most of the ’day Monday. Yesterday was bright and sunshiny again and the weather bureau promises colder weather to follow.
