Judge Van Fleet, of the Elkhart superior court, made an important ruling to the effect that judgment granting a liquor license on appeal from the commissioners’ court must be for a year from date of judgment,' not-frem~tiie--date--of-'tire'ttConße'.-Thiß at times operates to ghe the applicant more than one year’s license fee.

A two wagon moving outfit went through Rensselaer last evening, be- i ing Ben Britton and family en route 1 from Bangor, Mich., to Yukon, Okla. 1 It is not often these days that people emigrate in this manner, but it was a very common method some twenty years ago, and a great many former Rensselaer people now residing In ' Kansas, no doubt, went the overland route in a covered wagon. Frank A. Crosscup writes from Fort Benjamin Harrison, stating that he did not get to go on the 200 mile i hike to Richmond, being left behind t to aid in caring for the barracks.

Frank thinks that the boys who were left behind when the hike was taken may have to go on a hike after the others get back. He says that paper and stamps are rather scarce there and he can not vMte often, but he would like to hear from his friends. His address is Co. I, 10th Infty., Fort Benjamin Harrison.

Cleveland lost one game yesterday to St. Louis, which put the Naps out of the American pennant race, and the Sox again drubbed the Tigers and thereby improved their chances of winning the rag. New York smothered Boston in the first of itsseries of three games and if it can follow up with two more the Cubs and Giants will have to play a series of three games for the national pennant before the two leagues clash in the world’s series. Several Rensselaer fans saw the Cubs put it over the Pirates Sunday. Rensselaer is a pro-Cub town, and if they should win both flags there will be a big percent of our population crazy with delight.

Edna, the five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Shesler, was run over by the rear wheel of a wagon at their home east of town yesterday afternoon and very fortunately escaped Injury. Her father was unloading corn and the little girl climbed up on the wheel, and fell off* just as the horses started up. The corn was in the front end of the wagon and the rear end was light, .and although the wheel passed over her hips she escaped with only a slight bruise. They were alarmed for fear she might have sustained internal Injuries and summoned a doctor, who furnished the welcome Information that the injuries were but slight. This morning she was able to be out and was apparently feeling as well as though the accident had not happened.

Friends of the Republican are requested to give items to Ernie Zea, our blind reporter, who makes most of the trains He is provided with note* book and pencil and persons who are going away or who are at Ums depot to meet friends are asked to write their items in bls note book. State the items as clearly and fully as possible, and they will be pub-: llshed In the Daily and Semi-Weekly Republican. This 1s the first employment Ernie has eVer had, and ho to doing nicely and he appreciates kindnew more than people who need it lean The purpose of the Republican Tn engaging Ernie to visit the trains was solely to encourage him, and ho has taken groat interest in bis work and has been faithful in bringing his reports to the office punctually. It to easy to encourage him by wrlt-

ing news items in his book and the Republican requests you to do it The winter is coming on and during the long cold months he will be confined at his home, but next spring ,he hopes to procure a new and more convenient chair and to be better fixed for his work. B. J. Gifford is here from Kankakee, 111., today, attending to some matters he has in the courts. He says he is building his railroad on to Gary, and that he is now within about 14 or 15 miles of that city. We have been wondering why it would not be a good Wen to-ggv the 'GnidFd'Tallroadr ( to come to, Rensselaer on the basis of ,the old proposition for which a subsidy was once voted. If the road was built south from Laura to Rensselaer, it would be only a matter of time until it was extended to Remington and thence to Lafayette. With its northern terminus at Gary it would come In contact with all the trunk lines in the middle west, and would be the very line that Rensselaer needs. Mr. Gifford now realizes that he should have run his road to Rensselaer and our people have long realized that Rensselaer needed the railroad, and it is probably not too late to get it If the proper means are used. If a committee of business men were to be sent to wait on Mr. Gifford and present the matter to him, it is not improbable that some agreement could be made to yet have his road extended from the most convenient point to this town. Its value to Reqsselaer can not be estimated. Here is food for thought and action. And it should be taken up at once.
