RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL S, 1912.
The Hoover Stock Co. Draws Large Audiences.
Power of Politics Powers Theatre at Decatur most pleasing since days of Grace Hayward. Packed houses greeted the opening performance of the Hoover Stock Company at the Powers. Every seat ty the house was sold before the doors were opened. The reception accorded the premier performances of the Hoover Stock Co. was an enthusiastic one. Not since the palmy days'of repertoire, when an announcement that Dick Ferris and Grace Hayward would appear at the Powers in repertoire were synonomous with packed houses, has a repertoire show as worthy as the Hoover Stock Co. been seen in Decatur. This company is probably the only worthy successor of the Ferris Comedians or the Grace Hayward Co., recognized a number of years ago as the best organization of the kind on totfr.? : At the Ellis, theatre all next week.

Grand Nephew of S. R. Nichols Claims to Be Knabe Murderer.
The Helene Knabe murder, which occurred Oct. 23, 1911, and which has been the greatest murder mystery of Indianapolis in recent years, has again come into prominence since the confession of Seth Nichols to the police court of Portsmouth, N. H. Nichols stated that, while he (Nichols) was uhder the influence of liquor, an acquaintance by the name of Knight offered him 91,500 if he would get rid of a woman for him. He agreed to do it and was led to Dr. Knabe’s rooms. Dr. Knabe was asleep when they entered but just as Knight had given Nichols a sharp knife sbe woke up and screamed. It was then that he cut her Ibroat. Nichols states that he did not know who the woman was until the papers came out the next morning, and that be has been on the jump ever since, expecting to be arrested at every move. Niehols is 21 years old and a son of Wallace Nichols, formerly of near Mt. Ayr, and a grandson of John L. Nichols, of Barkley township, also a grand nephew of S. R. Nichols, of this city. . . His father, Wallace Nichols, was killed In July, 1897, by a kick from a horse and his mother died the next spring. He then went to Lafayette, where he had an aunt, and continued to live there and at Brookston until kbout 3 years ago when he enlisted in the U. S. Navy. After reprimanded and court martialed several times, he was finally given a dishonorable discharge. At the time of his confession he presented the appearance of being doped and was very hazy on some points relating to the murder. Hlb aunt at Lafayette declares that he has been mentally unbalanced for many years and that at times he would tell wonderful stories of fancied experiences, only to deny them the next day. He has a great desire for notoriety and at one time caused a telegram to be sent to Lafayette stating- that he was drowned. Police officials and others interested in' the Knabe case give his story, no credence at all and declare that he is insane. Nichols is not known to have been here for a long time, although his enlistment papers in the navy give Rensselaer as his birth place.
“Young Gotch” of Iowa to Meet Schober Saturday Night.
Another wrestling card that looks good is booked for the Ellis theatre Saturday night. “Billy” Schober, who put the scrappy Polos out of business Saturday night in a hard match, will meet “Young Gotch,” of lowa. Gotch weighs 160 pounds and is said to be the champion of his state in that weight in lowa. Joe Collins, who defeated Schober here two weeks ago, witnessed the match between Polos and Schober Saturday night and stated that he did not care at this time to undertake another match with Schober, who was handicapped by a sprained thumb when Collins won from him. Collins is said to be none other than Ed Adams, whose name has been familiar in the wrestling world for the past fifteen years, and who has always been about the best in the business in his weight. Booked solid for two years by a lyceum bureau, Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, recently resigned government chemist, will carry on a campaign for the cause of pure food—without regard to impending change in the administration. Dr. Wiley has announced he will eliminate politics from his fight. His schedule will take him into every state. At present 184 dates have been made. Tbe Central Trust Co., of Chicago, which some time ago absorbed the Western Trust Co., and thereby became the seventh largest bank in Chicago, last Saturday completed a deal for the absorption of the Prairie State Bank, and this will make It the fourth largest bank in Ckicago.
