Miss Elsie Watson went to Arcola, 111, today to visit for about one week with her aunt, Mrs. Edward Baech. Misses Ethel and Opal Hardesty, of Danville, 111., came yesterday to remain until September, guests of their cousin, Miss Jennie McGinnis. Rev. H. C. Hanson, pastor of the Ist Baptist church, of Attica, Ind., came to Rensselaer today to visit members of the Missionary Baptist church of this place. Present reports from Kansas are that the hot, dry winds have made terrible havoc with the corn prospects, and that eveh if copius rains now occured the crop would not be more than a quarter of what it was last year. Farmers around here are catting their early oats. So far as heard from the yield will be poor, little more than half of what they were last year. The late oats promise better, but they wiU not be up to last year’s crop either.

Yesterday was the hottest day ever experienced in Chicago, since official records were kept. It was 102 degrees there, by government thermometer. Here the highest reached by U. 8. thermometer was 98 degrees. The most costly and the handsomest church in Jasper county is the fine brick edifice at Remington, just approaching completion, for the Catholics of that place and vicinity. [lts cost was about $15,000. Its erection was largely due to the'efforts of the pastor, Rev, J. B. Berg. The building wiil be dedicated on Sunday July 21st, by Rt. Rev. Herman Alerding, Bishop of Fort Wayne. The quarterly conference of the Free Will Baptist church will be held Sunday July 13 and 14, and a basket dinner will be held Sunday. All are invited, be sure to bring well filled baskets. Owing to the meeting at Parr no preaching service will be held Sunday morning at the Rensselaer F. W. church.

Henry Amsler of Pontiac, 111., has made still another important purchase of land in the immediate vicinity of Rensselaer. He has bought what is usually known as the Dwiggins land, adjoining town on the north. There are 155 acres in the tract and the sellers, Foltz, Spitler & Kurrie, W. B. Austin and John W. Paxton received $65.59 per acre. C. J. Dean negotiated the sale. Rev. C. D. Royse and family moved into their new residence, the new Methodist parsonage, yesterday. It is a spacious, able as well as very handsome residence, and it is much to the credit of the Methodist people of Rensselaer that they have built such a fine and permanent home for their pastors. The building has all the modern conveniences, such as city water and lights, furnace heat etc. Its cost has been about $4,000.

A letter was received by Charles E. Wilson. Governor Durbin’s secretary, from Director-General W. T. Buchanan, of the Pan American Exposition, saying that Saturday, September J 4, has been set aside as “Indiana day,” and that be and his associates will do their utmost to make the day a successful ■one. It is said that Governor Durbin and his fall military staff will go to the exposition in a special oar, and it is hoped that a special

Indiana train may be run to the exposition. The following / young Catholic priests, former graduates of St. Joseph’s college, and who were recently ordained at Fort Wayne, have been given appointments by Bishop. Alerding. Rev. James Seimetfe assistant at Peru, Rev. James Fitzpatrick assistant at Fort Wayne, Rev. Joseph Abel assistant at Hammond, Rev. John Wakefer assistant at Lafayette, Rev. Thomas Conroy, at Portland, Geneva and Winchester. Rev. Filzpatrick is a cousin of C. W. Hanley, of our city. The tools and outfit for moving the old post-office building have not arrived from Monticello, and Billy Kight, the owner, has written down that he wants the last vestige of the old hulk torn down and removed. The business people near by object to this, saying it would make so much dust that they would have to close up during the tearing down, and some of them threatened injunction. In the meantime the old building stands serenely across two thirds of the street, slightly bulging at the knees but otherwise undisturbed.

Mr. and Mrs. Watson &nd daughter and John Richmond and family, of Pleasant Grove; Mrs. McCarthy and children and Bessie Benjamin, of Rensselaer, were the guests of Mrs. Elizabeth Fox over the Fourth. The M. E. society cleared S6O above expenses at their refreshment stand on the Fourth and will use the money on their church debt. The Christian society cleared $25 and will use the money for the same purpose. The Glorious Fourth has again come and gone. It was an ideal day, and if a large crowd has any. thing to do with a feuocessful Fourth of July, it certainly was in evidence at Fair Oaks. They came from all directions far and near, by railroad, in wagons, buggies, on bicycles and some on foot, until the town was

literally overrun with a happy, good- J natured crowd of humanity, all bent on having all the enjoyment possi- ! ble. The crowd was estimated at about 2,000 people, several hundred of them came from Rensselaer. An excellent program had been arranged by the management and was all carried out wish a few exceptions, owing to the non-appearance of some of those entered. The forenoon’s program consisted of well rendered music by the Fair Oaks choir, followed by an able and appropriate address and reading of the Declaration of Independence by Chas. W. Hanley, of Rensselaer, and was listened to by a large and interested audience. In the afternoon first came the base ball game between the Gifford and Shelby teams, but it was rather a one-sided affair, resulting in a score of 23 to 1 in Gifford’s favor. A large crowd witnessed the game. Next % came the principal feature of the day, the free-for-all half mile running race, and resulted as follows: ‘‘King Cotton,” owned by Jasper Wright, of Mt. Ayr. first money, $25, “Lady Grace,” owned by John Carden, of Fair Oaks second money, $lO. “Baby Ruth,” owned by John Wiseman, third money $5. Two best in three. Time not counted. Dancing all afternoon and evening was another notable event of the program and hundreds of people tripped the light fantastic in 1 spite of the extremely hot rays of “Old Sol.” The day’s festivities' closed with a creditable display of fire works at the park in the evening; The refreshment stands were in clover all day and did a rushing business, as did also the hotel and boarding houses. Taken all to-J gether the Fourth of July, 1901 at Fair Oaks was a great day and no disturbance occurred on the grounds ’ to mar the pleasures of the large crowd.
