RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1910.
Youthful Rensselaer Orator Won Plaudits for His Speech.
Cope Hanley was not the only Rensselaer boy to receive recognition at Winona Boy’s City. He was elected mayor and Ed Honan, who nominated him, was elected treasurer. The figures show the majorities: Hanley . .V 80 Opponent 48 Majority 32 Honan ..a. 69 Opponent 67 Majority.. 12 A letter from Winona says that Honan’s excellent speech nominating Hanley elected them both. A letter from one of the boys written prior to the election says that Hanley’s opponent made a very poor speech and attacked the Rensselaer camp and their candidate. This proved to be very poor politics with the boys in the camp and they hissed the speech and the little camlidate went to his tent crying. Hanley’s speech asking the suffrage of his fellow citizens was a good one and won much admiration but the real oratory of the occasion was the speech'made by master Ed Honan, which was replete with eloquence and logic. Evidently Rensselaer has a coming orator in him.

Leading Citizen of Tombstone Wending His Way to Rensselaer.
John W. Walker, official reporter of the second judicial district court of Arizona, and one of the live wires of the west, has not forgotten Rensselaer.

Petty Thieving and House Breaking Reported Frequently.
Some one forced an entrance through an upstairs window to the Monnett School for Girls Monday evening at about 9:30 o’clock. The matron, who was writing letters in a lower room, heard some one walking upstairs and instituted a search on her own behalf, but finding no one, resumed her writing. A little later, however, a man walked up on the back porch and tried to get into the house that way. The nightwatch was summoned, as also were neighbors, but the intruder had made his escape. Quite a party of men and boys followed the nightwatch to'the scene, but no trace of the burglar could be found, although the broken window screen and cracked pane showed where he had broken into the upstairs apartments. A few minutes before the matron was first attracted by the noise, two young ladies reported having seen two strangers in the neighborhood and that as they passed by, a dark lantern was flashed in tjieir faces. Sunday night a man was discovered in the kitchen at Bert Camp’s residence, at the old Kelley property. Mrs. Camp thought it was her husband, and speaking his name, went into the kitchen. He was Just about to decamp with the silverwear, but her appearance caused him to take fright and he dropped knives, forks and spoons on the floor and beat a hasty retreat. It is probable that- much of this thieving is done by some young man and it is hoped he he will be apprehended and a stop put to the practice which is terrorizing women all over town.

Trustee Chas. V. May to Be Made Defendant in Suit.
Trustee Chas. V. May, of Carpenter township, is mentioned in an article in Indianapolis newspapers as a defendant in a civil suit brought by the state’s attorney-general in connection with evidence furnished by the chief of the accounting board. No one here seems to know what the charge against May will be. The article, in mentioning a number of cases, states that the various trustees are alleged to be guilty of malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance. Mr. May is regarded as a conscientious official and the basis of the suit is a mystery here.
