Misses Agnes and Carrie Welsh went to DeMotte this morning for a short visit. and Mrs. John T. Moore and Mr. and Mrs. George W. Ketchum are spending today in Chicago. The new hominy, just in at the Home Grocery, is exceptionally fine. It sells at 10c a can. Peter May went to Ford county, 111., this morning to visit his daughter, Mrs. Will Corsen, and family. Miss Sue Smith, who has been visiting her father, W. F. Smith, returned to her home in Chicago today. Mrs. Catherine Schmitt, of Chicago, came this morning to visit her daughter, Mrs. Matt Nisius, of near Remington. E. A. Gorman, of Morocco, and Dennis O’Riley and T. B. Elmore, of Remington, were registered at the Makeever hotel yesterday. Rue Parcells arrived home yesterday from Mexico, Mo., where he had been for the past three months. He will probably find work in Chicago for the winter. F. K. Swan and mother, Mrs. Lloyd Swan, of Seattle, Wash.,"'who have been visiting Thos. Daugherty and wife and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Babcock, left today for their home. Rev. H. L. Kindig writes from Rochester that they are liking their new home and that gradually but slowly his rheumatism that has bothered him for several months is receding. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Coen took their departure this morning for South Bend, where they will make their future home. It is probable that they will return here for a short visit about Christmas time. Monroe Carr returned yesterday from his visit with his son, John, at Enid, Okla. Monroe has been in poor health recently and he thought that perhaps the climate there would be beneficial to him but he returned feeling worse than when he went away. Chase Day writes that he is now at Newcastle, Ind., where he has plenty of work and where he will probably remain until after Christmas. He does not state whether or not he will continue his journey south as was his original intention. Some 400 republicans from Gary, Whiting, East Chicago and Hammond held a love feast’ at the Masonic Temple in Hammond Tuesday night. When politicians of Lake county can’t find anything else to do they hold a love feast and then go right _out and renew the fight. The little town of Dyer is alive, so say residents thereof, and it is going to try to put itself on the map where others will realize that it is a sure enough town. A mass meeting has been called to discuss incorporation and to make the town cover nine square miles of territory, including the little town of Munster. “Buy a lot in Dyer” will be the advertising cry. Shedd Bros, will hold their public sale on Thursday, Dec. 16th, preparatory to the removal to Rensselaer of S. S. Shedd and family, who will occupy their home recently purchased of Granville Moody. The sale Will be the largest of the early fall and will doubtless attract a large crowd. The bills are being printed by the Republican and the property to be sold will be listed in this paper. w This is Dec. 2d. A year ago today the Rensselaer Athletic Football team swamped the Lowell Athletic team by the score of 46 to 0. It was eight years ago today that Patrick O’Dea, the famous punter, brought the South Bend Athletics here to meet the “old” team. Neither side scored and Pat went home with a broken collarbone, several other bruises, a lighter purse than he had expected to take with him and a big holler. Poor old Pat. He was one man whom football made a fool of, for he could not stand the praise of the public and keep his head and it is said that booze finally put him clear down and out. Most of the Rensselaer boys who participated in that game are successfully engaged in professions or business and “Big Ed” Moon is probably the oply one who met his fate with old King Alcohol. In that game tZern Wright played center, Tom Cain and George Healey guards, Mose Leopold and Eld Moon tackles. True Woodworth and Jay Sayler ends, Bert Rhoadeß quarterback, Fred Sayler {fallback and Fred Parcellß, Blaine Gwln, Eld and Emery Mills and Howard Meyers half backs, some being substituted when ethers were injured. When the game closed the ball in the possession of South Bend only about three yards from their own goal line, where they had just recovered ife after a long punt by Sayler. It was a wildly enthusiastic crowd that cheered for the old red and black that day, probably the greatest event in the history of Rensselaer athletics.
