Emerson Coen played football with the team at the Newport training school last Saturday and made two touchdowns and won the game for the navy. He 1* very well pleased there, and will be stationed at that place until about Christmas, when hd will start on a long cruise, probably around the world. 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. ' Jonathan Morris was the applicant, and he gains several weeks. 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. I He is not the newest man in his company now, as there have been several other recruits since he joined. 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.
