HOW Rens§e { aer'Celebrates Use <xlor> iou*> Fourth of July. The 4th of July at Rensselaer passed off very pleasantly. The crowd was not overly large, but of the proper dimension for comfort. The day was ushered in by the firing of anvils, blowing of whistles and ringing of bells. The Chicago and Lowell base ball clubs arrived here on Tuesday evening, and played a very exciting game of ball the following morning, the score

being 8 to 2 In favor of Chicago. The game after dinner between the Chicago and Rensselaer clubs was a very interesting one resulting in favor of the home team, with a score of 10 to 9. Phillips & Sayler’s wild west show made themselves conspicuous at about 11 o’clock in the the forenoon and gave a great show on Washington street. I • was far better than the one attempted three years ago, and reflects great credit on the managers for having so good an entertainment for the people. The literary program, in the morning, was entirely taken up by home talent and the exeiciges wore very interesting. Th<we were five contestants in the foot race a .1 the money was divided between Rush, of Newton county, and Joe Reynolds, of this place. In the bicycle race there were but two entries —Louie Wilcox, of Surrey, and Chas. Spitler, of Rensselaer, and the race was nicely won by the former. There w T as a public dance given in opera house, which was well patronized by the lovers of that sort of amusement. In the evening there was no special display of fire-works, tjut you could look in almost any direction and see fiery rain of the Roman candle and hear ! dhe whiz of the sky rocket. Take it all in all, the affair was a success and all who came went away satisfied with the day’s pleasures and felt repaid for their coming. Excellent music was furnished by the Rensselaer band which added much to the enjoyment of the day. One word describes it —“perfection.” We refer to De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well known cure for piles.

Marion township is now divided into four veil: •• recincis, Washington a' .1 \ <mßf-ns.-o-laer streets in this phum ,bmng the dividing lines.

No. 4, all the territory lying between and bounded by the College and Poor Farm gravel roads, with voting place at Michael Eger’s carpenter shop. “Faust and Margurite” was presented at Eger’s opera house, last Tuesday evening by the Southers —Price company. We cannot say to much this of troupe of players. They are good—very good, and those who attended are loud in their praise of the beautiful rendition of this great drama by such a capable ■company of actors. Mr. Edwin Southers as “Satan” is great, and the other characters are well sustained by good people. They will appear here tomorrow (Saturday) evening in “Ingomar,” and if you want to spend a pleasant evening be sure and visit them.

• A horse kicked H. S. Shafer, of the Freemyer House, Middleburg. N. Y. on the knee, which laid him up in bed and caused the knee joint to become stiff. A friend recommended him to use Cnamberlain’s Pain Balm, which he did, and in two days was able to be around. Mr. Shafer has recommended it to many others and says it is excellent for any kind of a bruise or sprain. This same remedy is also famous for its cures of rheumatism. For sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. In view of the fact that serious trouble is liable to occur at any time, the result of the great railroad strike, Capt.
