every week now, it is beginning to look mighty sfine.

Bears the XJJr v T" Mapfttpr* Of Wt a^/xfrftfcA44£ Reno M. Isherwood, of the Lafayette Democrat, Is here today to gather some Information about the effect that

the knocking out of the saloons in Rensselaer has had on business. He says the scrap in Lafayette has reached enormous proportions and that it will be fought out to a bitter end. Had Logansport and Cass county voted dry it is probable that Tippecanoe would have done the same, but as the cities of Logansport and Lafayette aye rival business centers and both bidding for the business of the section of country intervening, it is not improbable that Tippecanoe will also vote wet. The election will be held next Friday, April 30th. MONDAY. Mrs. M. E. Corliss went to Kankakee Saturday to visit her son, Clyde, and .other relatives. . Mrs. Jas.
