GIVE LIBERALLY TO MONNETT HOME

J. J. Lawler and D. S. Makeever Each Give SIOO to Institution Managed By Deaconesses. *>. " The Monnett Home, to which a large addition was recently built to accommodate the increased to the Watts de Peyster School for Girls, has been given some splendid financial aid during a recent period. J. J. Lawler, the wealthy Chicago stock apan who has extensive farming Interests in this county, and who spends much time here, unsolicited jsent a check to Delos Thompson one day last week to be used toward defraying the indebtedness incurred in building the addition and installing the heating plant. At about the same time D. S. Makeever, of Newton township, who was asked by Rev. C. L. Harper to give $lO toward the same cause, remarked that he presumed.it would be all right if he added another figure to the amount asked and he wrote a check for SIOO. Other smaller contributions have been coming in and thus the burdens on the shoulders of Miss Grace Findley, the principal, have been considerably lightened. The executive committee is composed of Rev. C. L. Harper, Mrs. Delos Thompson, Mrs. Rella C. Fell, Dr. M. D. Gwin and Miss Findley. Persons who wish to give toward the worthy cause can do so through any member of the committee. I Two new girls came to the school today. One was brought here by Rev. G. W. Switzer, of Lafayette, who was formerly a M. E. presiding elder, and who is the guardian of the little girl. He knows that this will be an ideal place for his little charge. Another little girl came from Chicago on the 11:48 train. The cost of each student is sl2 a month, which includes room, board, light and heat. A reasonable extra charge is made for laundry. Students must be supplied with the necessary clothing before entering. Books and tablets are bought at the school. A circular just published tells of the present needs of the school, and one is the necessity of getting rid of the indebtedness incurred by the new building. Many applications for admission are made by parents who can not pay the full admission and money is needed to care for these. Donations of canned fruit will be very acceptable. There is every prospect that the school will grow within a few years until a hundred or more girls can be carej? for. It is a worthy cause and means a great deal for Rensselaer. For regular action of the bowels; easy, natural movements, relief of constipation, try Doan’s Regulets. 25c at all stores. Frank Lear, of Lafayette, the old reliable gasoline stove and sewing machine repairer, is in the .city for a limited time. If in need of his services phone or leave orders at Jessen’s jewelry store. Manager J. H. S. Ellis went to Lowell today to witness the production tonight of the Wizard of Wiseland, which is to be played here next Thursday night. It is possible that the company may sing Lon Healy’s new song, "It Was Only a Golden Leaf that Fell,” when they are here. F. Nafziger, of Washington, HL, was here Friday looking after the interests of his 389 acre farm southeast of town, the former Ranton farm. Last year his tenant raised 9,000 bushels of corn, whjch has convinced Mr. Nafziger that Indiana has some land that is just as good as anything in Illinois. The machinery is being installed in the new Parr creamery today. It arrived later than had been expected and this will probably prevent jthe opening of the'creamery for business Monday. ■> Wilson & Gilmore, the hustling young proprietors, planned to have a big time opening day with free ice cream, lemonade and cake. Ed Kanne is in such demand that he don’t have time to rest. Friday evening he completed his long thrashing run and he hoped to rest over Saturday and Sunday at least, but demands were made at once for the services of himself and his engine for pulling a fodder shredder. The last job of thrashing was for Ira Brown, southwest of town, where 3,627 bushels of oats were thrashed out, Ed will start this afternoon to pull the shredder at the college.

Henry Eigelsbach went to Chicago this morning to consult a specialist about some trouble that he has been having with his right ear since he underwent an operation recently at Alexian Brothers’ hospital. He does not expect that it will be necessary to undergo another operation and he will probably not go to the hospital this time but remain at the home of his son, Tom. John Knox, who worked during the summer as a reporter for The Republican, and who is a mighty worthy young man, left this afternoon for Chicago, where he will attend the Illinois School of Pharmacy. He will attend school but three days out of each week and spend the remainder of the time clerking in the drugstore run by his brother, Rufus. John expects to engage in the drug business in Chicago when he graduates. His two brothers are making splendid successes there, each now having a store. . The Brook boomers had a fipe trip Friday. Forty-eight autos started on the trip and 38 were still with the crowd when Rensselaer was reached. The boomers visited Morocco, Sheldon, 111., Kentland, Goodland, Remington and Rensselaer and returned home via Morocco. "■ They were dust covered but happy and they made everyone here feel good too. Mapy compliments were showered upon the enterprising citizens of our neighboring town and of the town itself. It has grown more than any other town in Newton county during the past twenty years and there is plenty of push left to make it grow "more. The boomers from there will always be welcomed in Rensselaer.

THE MAXWELL MYSTERY

(Copyright, The Frank A Munsey Co.) o— CHAPTER VIL Bed Ink and a Horse of Bronze. Not for a moment did I doubt Mildred’s good faith in the matter. It would be too absurd to think of her making such statements if they were not true. “ Clearly she must be laboring under an hallucination regarding these things and probably she so strongly desired to throw the inkstand or the horse that she really believed she did throw them. But, after all, though this'point was interesting, it was incidental .evidence. The main thing was to find the man in the automobile clothes. He must be some one whom Philip knew and recognized in spite of the goggles. He must have come from a distance, had left his machine at some point nearby, and had approached the house secretly and on foot. But how had he gained entrance? But there was no use crying over spilled milk, so I started at once to look cheerfully at the veranda pillars. There I found, myself forestalled. Mr. Hunt and Gilbert Crane were already examining them. “Any scratches?” said I. “Plenty of old ones,” said Mr. Hunt, “but none that seem to have been made as recently as last night.” “How about automobile tracks?” "There are any number of those aft over the drive; but as several people came in automobiles last night, they mean nothing definite.” “What do you make of those marks on the balcony floor that look as if made by scuffling feet?” ‘They may be the marks of a scuffle, or it may be some one stood for some time looking in at the library window, A nervous person standing there might move around in a manner to leave just such traces.” For some unaccountable reason these remarks of Mr. Hunt seemed to disturb Gilbert Crane. He turned pale and was about to speak, then set his lips firmly, and turned silently away. “There is one circumstance, th a* ought to be explained,” I said, speak ing to Mr. Hunt, and hoping that Crane would leave us.

T found these bits of evidence this morning,” I said, taking my note book from my pocket. “They may not be vital clues, but anything found in the library is of interest.” J produced the three bits of yellow feather. -> “Do you recognize these?” '“No,” said Mr. Hunt, “what are they?” “Do you recognize them?” I said, turning suddenly to Gilbert Crane. “Y-es,” he stammered, “they seem, to be bits of down from a light wrap which Miss Gardiner wore last evening.” —“They are,” I said, “and I picked them up in the library, and on the balcony, and one piece I disengaged from the catch of the library window shutter.” “Well,” said Gilbert Crane, trying to speak naturally, “and what does that prove to you?”' “It doesn’t sprove anything,-’ I said slowly, “but it is a peculiar coincidence that Miss Gardiner declares she was not in the library last evening or on the west balcony at all." “She says that?” said Hunt, looking up sharply, while Gilbert Crane looked more distressed than ever. “Yes,” I answered. “Did you speak; Mr. Crane?” “No,” said Gilbert, “I have nothing to say on the subject.” And turning abruptly, left us and walked rapidly across the lawn out of the front gate. “I don’t understand Miss Gardiner’s attitude,” said Mr. Hunt. “I cannot think she had anything to do with the, crime, but I do think she is withholding information of some sort. But I must go now, and I will return this evening. Then, if you please, Mr. King, I would like to discuss matters at length with you.” When Mr. Hunt came back that evening he found me with Mr. Maxwell in the study. Although I dlj not wish to pain the old gentleman with more., details than were necessary, yet I wanted him to know as nearly as possible how matters stood; and, too, I’ wanted the benefit of his sound judgment and good advice. “Come in, Mr. Hunt,” I said. "Let us three sum up the real evidence.” “First,” said the detective, “I would like to know Mr. Maxwell’s opinion of; Miss Leslie’s testimony.” “I have just been reading it,” said Mr. Maxwell. “I did not hear it clearly when Mr. Billings read it, so I asked permission to read the paper myself. I do not know Miss Leslie very well, told. I was sure the old gentleman’s conservative habits of speech would not allow him to put this into words, but that his sense of justice demanded an intimation of the idea. After a little further, conversation with Mr. Maxwell, we left the study and Hunt and I went for a walk. • “It’s clear ;to my mind,” said Hunt, “that this shooting was done by an intruder from outside, not a common
