Supposed Robber Returns With Goods On Him.

Rensselaer citizens were agog this morning when it became known that Rensselaer had harbored a horsethief. Kanne Bros, were the only victims. The thief was systematic, you might say, in his methods, it seems, picking out only, one firm in each town for the stinging. __ The horse was sent on a drive Monday afternoon. - The gentleman, who apparently turned thief, went to the Kanne livery barn about 3 o’clock, during the absence of both of the proprietors. Clency Wood, the colored man employed by them, was left in charge of the place. He states that the man asked for a rig to take a 7-mile drive in the country, and that the man told him he would be back about seven o’clock ihat evening. On being questioned about the looks of the supposed thief, Mr. Wood said he had all the appearance and earmarks of a gentleman, excepting that he was bald on the top of his head. \ Late last night, when the rig did not arrive, the ownerß began to feel uneasy and doubtful. Their doubts were confirmed this morning when they* learned that the rig had not been returned. They immediately sent telephone messages to all the surrounding towns and Ed Kanne scoured the country in an automobile, while running down clews. The Kannes had made very little headway in their search by noon, before the missfog horse and buggy was seen coming toward the barn,, driven by none other than Venus Crisler. The air was soon cleared of the mystery. Mr. Cfisler and Kanne’s helper

Special Gala Week Program Pronounced Very Good.

The opening night of The Gayety Airdome’s special gala week program was a winner and a delightful surprise waited the'Gayety’s patrons last night when Marie Obermyer, the famous singing commedienne, and Lester and Moure, comedy and dancing artists, made their initial bow to Rensselaer people. It is the best talent that ever appeared in such talent as would make a man draw on his savings account rather than to miss it. *» The 1 * encores after each “skit” and song were insistently liberal and the audience was reluctant, to say the jleast, to let the curtain fall. Prom the generous rounds of applause, which greeted the artists, it can easily be predicted that standing room only will be the sign out at The Gayety from now on. These people will be here all week with a complete change of program every day. In addition there will be a new vaudeville act tonight which M*. Reynolds stajtes will be just as good. It is also very probable that the little Misses Helen and Maudie Reynolds will be on the program for an act.

were complete strangers to each other. Mr. Crisler got out as far as John Summers’ place and accepted an invitation to stay all night, and not knowing the trouble and anxiety he was causing here, he stayed there until he was ready to come back.

EENSSELj&R, INDIANA, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1912.

On the 41st he fell back to 499% and on the 42nd he dropped to 494. The futility of further ballots until a recess was seen and the convention adjourned.

The 45th ballot stood: Wilson 633, Clark 306, Underwood 97, Harmon 25, Foss 27. still lacked 92 1-3 votes of enough to nominate, but it was clear that he was about to carry the day and on the next ballot he went over the mark necessary to choice.

The motion carried and a big demonstration followed. The convention will reconvene at 9 o’clock tonight to adopt a plaform and nominate a vice president.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A DELEGATE?

Costs a Lot of Honey and Don’t Get a Fellow Anything—Proves Expensive at Baltimore. . This thing of being a delegate to a national convention is apt to prove mighty expensive. It is no job for a poor man. To begin with the delegates sessed something like S2OO each to defray the expenses in the way of convention hall rent, decorations, etc. Then comes the railroad fare, hotel expenses, eto., and assessments for a lot of other things. If the convention happens to hang over a few days there is another assessment for hall rent. Over at Baltimore there is a great amount of financial fatigue as well as mental and physical exhaustion. According to dispatches the city of Baltimore has made a good thing out of the convention. Hotel rates were uniformly raised $1 per day, waiters arid porters scarcely moved without tips and restaurants doubled their prices. Ham sandwiches sold for 15 cents each, penny newspapers for 5 cents each, water for 5 cents a glass. Every time a fellow turned arountf some one expected him to drop a dime for the privilege. It was no wonder the Marshall boomers had enough of the experience at the week end and pulled for Hoosierdom. It is no wonder that those who are left behind are bowling for the convention to close. It is no wonder that the unpaid convention doorkeepers, sergeants-at-arms, etc., are ready to quit and pull for their old homes, where they can take off their standup collars and be “common

folks” 'again. It is no wonder that the telegraph wires have been kept busy between Baltimore and all parts of the country with appeals for more money. Speaking of a convention reflecting the will of the common people when no man can sit in tbe convention who don’t pay at least $250 for the privilege. It looks as though the delegates and a lot of the convention chambermaids, who volunteer their services and pay their own expenses for the love of their party and the distinction of seeing the performances of tbe 1,088 political gymnasts, will get pretty tired of the jobs and return home sadder but wiser and a lot poorer. Many a wife will be denied her summer vacation and many a home will indulge in a lot of economy because “dad” gamboled on the green at Baltimore. - V " ; , <•'
