Mrs. Nate Reed and baby, who have been at the Myet’s cottage at the Kankakee, for the past two weeks, passed through Rensselaer today enroute to her home in Michigan City. Postmasters from a number of neighboring towns will meet here next Tuesday, July 23rd to take preliminary steps toward forming an organization to include the 10th congressional district. John Beasey, a worthy farmer of White, county two miles north of Chalmers, lost bis life by aii accident, Wednesday. He was run over by a binder, the large driving wheel running over bis head, and crushing it. It is supposed that he was down in front of the machine adjusting some part, and that the team was frightened by an approaching storm, and starting suddenly caught him before he | could get from in front of the | machine. Uncle Jared Benjamin, who is lone of the main-stays when any reliable historical local facts are •O' needed, was at first somewhat hazy ,in his recollections of the age of the old post-office building. He has been thinking about it since our former publication, and is now confident we got the time of its erection about 10 years too far back. He says Tom Spitler built his residence on Calien street in 1865, and that this office and business building was not bnilt until a year or two after that. Ira Long, of Barkley Tp , one of the men who went to Kansas several weeks ago to work in the harvest fields, returned home today. All the others had proceded him on the return trip. The greater part of Kansas is still very dry, although some local showers occuring when he left there. Near Great Bend, where he worked, w heat made only about half a crop, the hay is almost a total failure and oats and corn was generally killed by the drouth. Cane is largely used for stock feeding and may be saved by the recent rains. The Kansas people are now so accustomed to heat of 108 and 110 degrees that when the thermometer don’t get abovb 100 they think the weather almost chilly.

Rensselaer is to have two big shows this year. B. E. Wallace have “made a date” here for Aug. 27th, which is just four weeks and one day after the Collmar Bros. & Schuman aggregation exhibits here. The old post-office building has reached within a block of its final destination, just east of the depot, and is stalled again. This time the stump-puller used to move it is broken, and another has been sent for up from about Surrey. The thermometer is way up there again, today. At 2 p. m. the Bruner thermometer was at 103, which is as high as it has been any day with one exception, when it was 107, about 3 weeks ago. Fred 8. Williams, the well known founder and editor of the Lafayette Sunday Times, died in a hospital there, yesterday morning, of consumption. He was about 53 years old. Lawdie Martin, of St. Louis, came to Rensselaer yesterday evening for a short visit with his wife, who has for a month or more been at the home of his mother, Mrs. C. D. Martin.

Wheatfield's big day this year will be Saturday, Aug. 24th. It will be called a Farmer’s Picnic and will consist of numerous attractions appropriate for the amusement of the immense crowd they expect to entertain. Simon Fendig, the druggist, was here Friday find says the preparations for a big time are more elaborate than last year and that Wheatfield will naturally bubble over in an effort to please the crowd that gathers there.

Myers, of Kniman and Mrs. Rilla Kennedy, of Wheatfield, came to Rensselaer this afternoon from Englewood, where they bad been to see Mrs. Dora Denison of Kniman who recently underwent an operation in a hospital there and is now in a very serious condition. The rather belated news has reached us that Reed Banta, a former well known resident of this county, and whose wife died some years ago, has taken to himself another wife, this time a Kentucky girl in which state Reed is running a saw mill. The marriage took plaoe a month or two ago. Moore Banta, a former wbII known teacher of this county, and at od6 time a prominent candidate for county superintendent, was married July 17th to Mies Mullen of Arlington, 111, Mr. Banta is also a resident of Arlington, which is a Chicago suburb, and is principal of the schools there. Miss Ruie Conner, of Ann Arbor, Mich., teacher of Latin and German in our public schools, and who had contracted for next year, has forwarded her resignation to the school board. She will go to Boulder, Colo., and reside with a sister. She resigns on account of of poor health. Mrs. Sarah J. Abbett, wife of Rev. Abraham C. Abbett, died at Fair Ottkß, last night.

Abbett, now of Ashland, Ore. Prof. E. W. Bohannon, onr former city sohool superintendent, has just reoeived another notable recognition in Minnesota. He has been elected president of the New Minnesota State Normal School, at Duluth, and is at that place now, preparing to begin his duties when the school year opens. He has formerly been located at Mankato, Minn. A large number of people witnessed the performance of Gollmar Bros, & Schumans new united shows here last Monday and every one was highly pleased. The Gollmar Bros, started out in a small way some years ago and have each season added to their circus and have built it up in every way. This year’s gigantic step of adding another complete circus and menagrie, thus enlargeing their show to twice its former size, places it so that no circus in the world can display a better array of talent. The proprietors are all gentlemen, who are hard working, kind and courteous, and whose enterprise deserves the best of patronage. Success is sure to be theirs for they are honest and believe in doing business honorably and giving the public a first class show.— Wisconsin Free Press, Oconomowoc, VVis. At Rensselaer, July 29th.
