Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 November 1908 — Page 5 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

A. E. Bolser returned to Rensselaer to vote today and then went to Indianapolis. After a short stay there he will go to St. Louis, where he will work at his trade as a baker. He has no plans for re starting in business for himself, but will probably do that eventually. Mr. Bolser leaves many friends here, who regret that circumstances caused him to decide to leave this plaice.

Grover Ritchey returned yesterday evening from his trip to Lißbon, N. Dak., where he worked fbr the past three months. He says that the farmers there have prospered greatly the past year. “Bud” Hammond is getting along fine. He and his boys farmed 980 acres this year and had an enormous crop. Bud has 27 head of fine horses and is planning to buy a farm next year if he has another successful crop.

Aug. Rosenbaum and wife have decided not to move from the hotel Rosey, but just to abandon the down stairs office and dining room, and move up stairs, conducting the hotel as it used to *be when the old Nowels house. The office, dining room and room and kitchen are being painted preparatory to the removal. He will also conduct the bakery formerly run by A. E. Bolser as the Little Gem. Messrs. Robinson and Chapman have not yet rented the lower hotel rooms, but are entertaining one or two propositions for them.

It Is probable that the men folks will not do very much sleeping tonight. Great preparations bave been undertaken to get all of, tbe election news and both the Western Union and the local telephone offices will be kepi open to get tbe reports from all the nation and the various precincts in Jasper county. The Republican has undertaken to get tbe news on the national and state results just as soon as counted and has arraaged tor a man at each precinct to get and telephone the result direct to this office ,as soon as the count is completed.

Ray Hopkins was considerably bruised up In the game of football Wabash played against tbe Michigan “Aggies” at Lansing, Mich., last Saturday. “Fat" had been getting through the lines and stalling off the Aggie backs at every turn and the correspondent to the Indianapolis Star gives him a great puff for his work, but about the middle of the second half he was knocked unconscious and thinks he must have been hit in the bead, Wabash lost by the score of 6 to 0. Dobbins has been out of the game for about a month, but hopes to get in against Notre Dame Friday of next week. Ray was not seriously hurt, having only a black eye, a peeled nose and a cut lip. He has had a great deal of bad luck this year, starting in with a bruised shoulder.

There is said to have been considerable betting today on the result of the state election, it being an even Bhot between Watson and Marshall. One Marshall champion offered to bet S2OO on his man and the bet was taken by several Watson adherents.

There have also been a few bets on the national election. It is under* stood that one Rensselaer man wagered $l5O to SSO on the election of Taft.

At Indianapolis last week the odds favored Marshall considerably, but Monday night they went to even and the Marshall money was all covered. There is no doubt that the last week has hurt the Marshall phances, by reason largely of the shift in favor of Taft, and of the belief all along ihat the election of Marshall can not result in the repeal of the local option law. Then it is said that many other temperance democrats have decided to resent the presumption of the brewere and support any thing that is against their interests.
