The “Time Saver” is the name of a’ neat little pocket guide to the World’s Fair, of which we have received a specimen copy, and it fully deserves its name. It names and locates 5,000 of the most interesting things on the Exposition grounds, grading them according to their importance. No other guide does this. The visitor who uses a “Time Saver” can see the Fair in much less than is usually occupied and find without difficulty everythig he wants to see. An encyclopedia of World’s Fair information that can be carried in your breast pocket. Compiled by a newspaper man, who inspected every exhibit on the grounds. Not sold on the Exposition grounds; but nothing Bold there will take its place. Ask J. E. Spitler to order it for you, or send 25 cents to W. E.

In the new time card which went into effect last Sunday, there were no very radical changes made, although still another new train was put on. There are now six passenger trains passing Rensselaer each way, every day, and although two of them do not stop, the four that do stop are so well distributed as to give our people as good passenger, mall and express facilities as any reasonable person could ask for. There is only one ‘'flyer” which failure to stop, will be often regretted. And that is the late night tram from Chicago, which passes Rensselaer at 1:53 a. m. Besides this train just mentioned, the three others that do not stop, is one at 12:32 p.m., south, and at 4:33 A. m. and 2:19 p. m., north. The times of those which do stop will be found in the local time card, in the usual place.

On Friday night last deputy sher- j iffs McKee and Peachin arrested Joseph Spears, a well known Monon| engineer, charged with having re-1 moved witness Frank Welsh from j the State just before the Clark trial, in the Lafayette riot case, in order to prevent his testifying in that case, Spears, it will be remembered, was on the stand in the Clark case, testifying that he was with Pete on the night of the riot. Walsh was a witness in the Murphy case, but has not, been seen since. He said on the stand that he saw Clark in the alley with the rioters. The charge against Spears is' that of intimidating or buying this witness, and he had to give 61,000 bonds, with Wm. Hannagan as security, in order to escape jail as a punishment. This arrest makes the riot cases all the more interesting and complicated.

When it comes to talking about strong and lively old men, Uncle Isaac Sayler, of Newton Tp., is in it decidely. The old gentleman stands up as straight and walks about as briskly as most men of 60, but he was 84 years Old last April. The fact that the “Grand Old Man” of England, Gladstone, is accustomed to take his ax and cut down a tree occasionally, is rightly considered a very remarkable circumstance for a man of his years. He was born the same year as Uncle Isaac, but we will back Uncle Isaac against the G. O. M. any day, as a wood chopper. He has cut wood enough this very spring, for instance, to furnish bis household fuel for two years. He thinks nothing of cutting down trees 18 or 20 inches in diameter and when he cuts a big log in two he stands on the log and cuts to the middle from both sides, like the accomplished woodsman that he is. Verily, Uncle Isaac is a phenomenally vigorous old gentleman, whose equal would be hard to find.
