Hurrah for Taft! There were nine politicians and one robin seen in this town Monday. Rev. Smith preached at the Baptist church Sunday and Sunday nig .t. John Borem and son, of Roselawn, are doing some construction work on the Thompson ranch this week. Nathan Eldridge has traded /or the barber shop here and has taken charge of the same. Wanted—By the democra's of this township,,, a competent thinking machine, capable of producing argum-’Lt that will prove that we are having hard times. Much damage has been done in this vicinity recently by the firs set by the Monon engines. Jt is impossib e to control it and in many places hay and standing corn are burning. Several from this town attended the democratic speaking at Fair Oaks Saturday night. They repcried a lively speech and g, two round fight, which ended by the ejection of the visiting member. s The teachers’ institute was held here last Saturday. The next session will be held at Fair Oaks. Future da’e will be determined by the interest and attendance of the pupils and patrons. If we care to secure these meetings for this place we will be com- 1 pelled to show more interest and more of us attend.

It is a rare opportunity that is afforded the people of Rensselaer by the visit to this city of Bishop William A. Quayle,* which has been arranged tor by the ladies’ literary club of this city. And the greatest of all speakers on the American platform today will be here next Monday night, Oct 26th, at the Christian church. These are quite busy times with political speeches, but a diversion from the heat of political differences should be welcomed by persons interested in educational matters and the church should be crowded with people anxious to hear him. Dr. Quayle last appeared in Rensselaer before the graduating class of 1907, and so Relighted was the audience that almost every person pledged themselves that they would never fall to hear him if he came to Rensselaer again. This visit should be of especial interest because there is no organized lecture course here this yesr. It will be worth many times the cost to all hear it "Had dyspepsia or indigestion for years.
