RATS ROB JEWELER
DIAMONDS DISAPPEAR FROM JOE KERN'S STORE
RECOVERED LATER*, HOWEVER
Rodents Had Carried the Sparklers Under the Floor of the Window.
Had it not boon for the accidental reading of a newspaper story Joe Kern, the Wabash avenue jeweler, would be mourning the loss of $300 worth of diamond rings and looking for the person who had perpetrated a daring robbery at his store.
Last Monday morning Mr. Kern dressed his display window, placing a number of diamond rings on the display boards. Six of the sparklers were in a tray while five others were attached to small celluloid cards. He had no call for the jewelry and thought nothing more of it until this morning when he wished to change the display.
His horror was great, when he found that the six valuable rings in the tray and three of the rings on the celluloid cards had di.-appeared. lie took everything from the window and looked carefull but nothing could be found that would give the least possible clew to the robbery. When about to report the matter to the police he happened to tliin'.c of a story he had read in a newspaper some six months ago, telling how a jeweler had been systematically robbed by rats.
Kern thought it possible that the little rodents that had been running about the store had taken his diamonds so raised the floor of the window. There, in lull view and showing no signs of the melting pot were the rin^s. All around them were evidences of- the rats who •would soon have had a nice nest lined with diamond rings. The only explanation is that the rats must have been so hungry that they took the ling sin order to get the celluloid cards and tags to eat. Thereafter all rats at Kern's jewelry store will be fed regularly, but not on diamonds.
It seems that the rats had taken the rings from the window through a crack in the floor to the depository underneath. Tliev had taken tlie-choicest stones, leaving two less valuably .ilinmonds in trie window and not molesting anv other less valuable jewelry.

PREACHER OUTWITTED
In Another Preacher's Family.
"It is easy to sing the praises of I'ostum Food Coffee: in fact. I should be most ungrateful did 1 not." says Mrs. E. ]!. Wright, the wife of the minister of the First Congregational church of Boise, Idaho. "Five years ago was a nervous wreck an4 hard to convince that coll'ee was injurious. Postuni was recommended by a friend and found to be delicious and strengthening. In a short time my nervousness left me and today 1 am well and hearty without a moment's sickness. "My husband has been relieved of biliousness by its use and our eldest daughter, who was a delicate child, has wonderfully improved in health. She lias gained in flesh and is stronger than ever before in her life, while scarcely know I have any nerves. The whole family, children and all prefer Postuni to coffee. "How sorry I feel when hear any one say: 'I don't like Postuni.' I know they have not properly prepared it and have frequently suggested another trial —four teaspoonfuls of Postuni to a pint of water, which must boil at least 1 minutes after boiling commences, have eups warm and serve very hot with good cream—this is a cup fit for a king. "I know many who have been benefited from its use: nervousness, dyspepsia, with countless other ills, vanish when Postum becomes the family breakfast drink and coffee is left out. •'At out table recently, a clergyman wa* asked "if he would not have his cup refilled. He replied. 'I never allow myself but one cup of coffee' and when informed that he had been drinking Postum he exclaimed. 'Indeed, I will have another cup,' surprised and gratified that he had been outwitted. This was considered a good joke by the youngar "memberfe of the family."'

IT PAYS TO BE KIND
SHERIFF SENDS POLICE BOX OF CIGARS—THE RESULT
TEN "TRANSIENTS" SENT
They Will Cost the Property Owners of Vigo County Just $13—They Eat One Meai
On Wednesday evening Sheriff Daniel Fasig appeared at the police station before roll call with his customary wealth of smile and a box of cigars. It was warm Thursday night—actually warm enough to thaw out the graft, and only three "tramps" were sent down for a night's lodging. Fasig only got $3.00 Thursday night, but last night the mercury went down like the price of lemonade at the breaking up of a picnic, and the figars proved as "bread east upon the waters.'' Ten big lazy hobos were sent down to jail and Mere turned loose in police court this morning. They all slept in the cellar and ate one meal each, but the county will be charged up with two days board for each of them and the bill will be $13.00. They could have been sent to a good boarding house for less'than half that sum, and as they were not guilty of any crime, there was no necessity for locking them up in jail. As a boarding house, the jail is a better paying institution on the amount invested than the Terre Haute house, as the law makes it possible for. the sheriff to sell a third of a-leaf of bread, a table spoon full of cheap molases and. a pint of coffee for the sum of $1.30. It is a graft that the people and the commissioners are getting tired of. and thcr? is now some hope that a halt will be called.
The sheriff, the commissioners say. 13 entitlr-d to a fee. but they insist that he has no right to" collect pay for goods that are not delivered. One man is talking of submitting a proposition to the commissioners to keep these tramns over night, for the sum of fifty cents a head, and if there is any way to justify such action, it is believed that the commissioners will accept the proposition. Of course, under this system, it would be necessary for the applicant to apply to the police department and pass inspection there before he is given an order to the Icdging house
It: is s-iggesfcd that after thc-e big stout fel'ows have been furnished with a night's lodging, they be taken out on the streets, and made to work, and this wav pay for their entertainment, [f the tramps refuse to do this, they could be brought into court and prosecuted on a charpo of vagrancy, and sent to the rock pile. Such r: system would assist street Commissioner Stokes out of a very bad dilemma, by aiding in keeping the streets clean at a reasonably low price. When the fact that they Mould have to work became known to the wanderers from nowhere and headed nowhere, they would give this eitv a wide berth, and the taxpayers would be rid of the tn-mp nuisence which is a big side "drag"'" for the sheriff and a burden to tire tax-payers. It is certain however that, the enr.nrissioners are going to take the matter up. and if the lodging house plan is not adopted, the sheriff will be ".-ked fo cut his bills down to the number of meals, he actuallv delivers.
Entertained by Boxing Match. The citizens of Indianapolis and the Central Labor union gave a banquet at Toinlinson hall last nigrht in honor of the vitining operators and miners. About 1.200 were present.
After the dinner, John L. Foltman made a speech of welcome on behalf of the Central Labor union, and was followed by Mayor Book'walter, who welcomed the delegates on the part of the city. Following them W. N. Harding, President John Mitchell, Walter S. Bogle and T. L. Lewis made speeches. After the speaking there was a vaudeville performance and later in the evening there was a boxing contest of ten rounds between Eugene Bezenah of Cincinnati arid Kid Paige of Boston. Preliminary to the main- contest there was a six-round1 bout between Chas. Webb and Fred Blackburn.

MOTHER SEARCHING FOR HER KIDNAPPED CHILD
WAS STOLEN BY AN UNCLE
Mother Writes That She Believes the Guilty Man and the Child Are In Terre Haute.
This morning Chief of Police Lyons received a letter from Mrs. Mary McDorniett, of Xo. 728 South Second street, St. Jvouis. asking the department to aid her in locating her four year, old soil, who Mas kidnapped, last Saturday, bv an uncle. loo McDjrmett. She says that she mis heard that the man brought the child to Terre Haute and that on his arrival here went to work for a man named Lewis, who is engaged in putting on tar roofs. Mrs. Mary McDoimett is the wife of James McDormett, a brother of the man, who she •says kidnapped the child, she, and her husband separated about a year ago and are not living together now., though the husband called at the St. Louis home often to see the two children.
The uncle was also a frequent caller, and the mother had no idea that it was his intention to steal her son. He called last Sunday, and asked permission to take the bov out for a walk to a nearby grocery, where he would buy him some candy. The mother, not suspecting his intentions, gave her consent, and the two left the house. She has not seen her child nor the uncle since they left the house. She thought it strange that they remained away so long, but supposed they were merely walking about seeing the.sights. When night came she became alarmed at tlxr long absence and started out to search for than, failing to get any trace of them she reported the ease to the police. A picture of the lad was printed in the St. Louis papers, and every effort is being made to find him. Chief Lyons has placed the matter in the hands of the detectives with instructions to make every possible effort to find the kidnapper and his child. It is claimed that the father had no hand in the kidnapI ing, and is as much surprised and worried at the action of his brother, as the mother.
Joe McDormett, who stole the child is thought not to be of sound mind, and a few weeks ago created a sensation in St. Louis by going to the police station and claiming that he had peeped through a window in a certain part of the city and saw a man murdered by two negroes. The police made a thorough investigation, but there Mas nothing found that would tend to confirm McDormett's story and the police concluded he was insane and gave no further attention to liis report.

Sen-
Causes Geologist Blatchley and ator Parks to Use Harsh Words.

Parks accused Blatchley. whom the bill puts in charge of the exhibit, of trying to "bulldoze" the committee. Blatchley replied with warmth and Parks continued "Yes. you have. You have threatened that if this bill
M'ere
not supported
by me you would do all in your power against the bills that I introduce. You have no business before this committee in such an attitude as you now are."'
Blatchley is disgusted with the way the committee is trying to smother the bill, as he says, and he
M'ill
