Lot Sale at Cedar Lake Is Causing Boom There.

A Cedar Lake man tells great stories of the lot sales going on there at present. He claims 4,700 lots had been sold up to two weeks ago, and that over 400 acres of land has been sold and subdivided and more is wanted. None of the lots sold are nearer than 60 rods of the lake front and many are from a half to a mile and a half away. Twenty-five foot fronts sell for $5 down and a dollar a week until $35 is paid, and then a deed with a dear title is given to the purchaser. The name of the new place is "The Shades,” and the originators of the new summer resort are offering gilt-edged prices for tracts of land anywhere within a mfle of the water front. The purchasers of lots are all city people who have bought with the Intention of building cheap summer places in which to spend their summer vacations. It has certainly advanced the price of land all the way around the lake for quite a distance

INVITES RENSSELAER TO "COME ON OVER”

Delphi Extends Invitation to Entire Town to Come Over and Witness the Ball Game. ■ • fjfrwl Delphi Journal. ~ A famous old base ball rivalry, none other than that between Rensselaer and Delphi, will be resumed after years of inaction, at . the Delphi base ball park next Sunday afternoon, when the Comers and Rensselaer’s fast club hook up in the first of a series of games which will involve the championship of the northern section of the state. This will be interesting news to old fans in this county, for time was when a game between these two towns meant a general exodus of the people from one place to the town which happened to have the game. In those old days, the rivalry was keen, and it promises to be resumed with all the old Strength with next Sunday’s game. Rensselaer has been some time building up a team and they are ready for us now, a thing they have been waiting for a long time. Sunday they trimmed Dowell 4 to 2. | Clark, a Rensselaer boy, is pitching for them and from all reports (he will be hard to beat. He was good enough to break into the Michigan league this year but returned home to pitch for his home team. The team will come over here supported by a good (bunch of rooters as they can make excellent connections on the Monon, -getting here just in time for the game and returning an hour after it is over. The Comers will be on the field with the strong line-up which trimmed Logansport so easily, with the exception of the pitcher, and it Is possible that the new twirler, who is to be held through the season, will be here (by that time. Local fans will be out in large numbers to greet the team after the great Logansport victory and with a 'delegation from Rensselaer on hand the game Should be one of the did time kind, that the old sane tell about. If our memory serves us right, the last time a Delphi base ball team went to Rensselaer was on a Fourth of July, about fifteen years ago, and the r game was played before one of the biggest crowds that ever saw a ball game at that place, Delphi receiving a hard beating. The more Rensselaer people who come over here to support their club Sunday, the better we will like it, for if there is one thing that makes a hit with the people of Delphi, that one thing is a good, clean, enthusiastic and . loyal sporting spirit. So come over, neighbors. We are proud of our team and we are proud of our town, and the latter will be yours, every bit of it, next Sunday.

Wolcott Man Tried to Take Own Life While in Lafayette.

Monon News. John Raybum, giving his residence as Wolcott, was found Tuesday in a semi-conscious condition, in his room at the St. Nicholas hotel, Lafayette. He had turned on the gas with the intention of suicide. The odor of the escaping gas was detected by a bell boy and when the door was forced open and fresh air let in, Rayburn soon revived. He was found to be under the influence of liquor and was taken to jail to answer the charge of intoxication. The cause of the attempt was probably due to the booze he had imbibed.

P. L. McManus, of Lafayette, superintendent of the Monon, came to Rensselaer yesterday and In company with W. C. Babcock and Agent Beam visited Kersey, where the meeting of the Gifford railroad stockholders was held.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1914.

CENTRAL DELIVERY SYSTEM ON THE WAY

RE. Benson is Contracting Merchants to Establish Central Plan of Distribution.

E. E. Benson Is contracting Rensselaer merchants, groceries and meat markets, to employ the central station delivery system and has interested a number in the plan. He expects to arrange with practically all merchants and to be able to inaugurate the system by the first of August. His plan is to take over the present delivery horses and to use such as he can for the delivery system. The plan is to make four deliveries a day, two in the forenoton and two in the afternoon, and an extra one on Saturday. The schedules are arranged just as train schedules are arranged. Delivery is guaranteed not to vary five minutes from the schedule. Mr. Benson believes that it will require four routes in this city, consequently the employment of four wagons to deliver and one to collect the produce from the stores. A manager of the system, also a girl as bookkeeper will be required. If suitable headquarters can not be secured it is probable that ground will be leased and a building erected, arranged for the purpose. The contracts with the merchants require that all packages be plainly marked and also for the drivers to make C. O. D. collections if desirable. Mr. Benson says that a saving of 45 per cent on delivery cost is assured all who contract for the central delivery system and that the regularity with which it is conducted makes it vastly more satisfactory to customers.

CONFIDENT WIFE IS ALIVE AND SAFE

E. M. Thomas Says That He Believes His Wife is in Hiding and Will Come Homo Later.

E. M. Thomas, wfhose wife left home on May 20th and from whom there has been no word and so far as is known she has not been seen by any relatives of acquaintances, is convinced that she has purposely been in hiding and he is inclined to think she is in Indianapolis. Contrary to the report published Thursday Mr. Thomas had made a report to relatives of his wife immediately after her departure. He wrote several letters, as many as fifteen, he believes, and he received four replies as early as May 26th, six days after she had gone away, another letter on June 2nd. and several since that time. .None of the persons addressed had seen hfer and no trace of her could be found since she drew S3O from the bank. Mr. Thomas is frank to admit that jealousy prompted her departure. He stages that she was of an exceedingly jealous disposition and that this fact caused her to leave. He is ok the opinion that after she has spent a little longer time in seclusion she will return here. Mr. Thomas regrets that it was. suggested that his wife might have been the victim of foul play. He says that there could be no possible groupds for that idea. He did become somewhat afraid that she might have taken her life when the relatives wrote that she had not been seen by any of them, but after her brother, John Mace, of near Sheridan, came here and ascertained that she had drawn money from the bank he decided that she had simply gone away for a rest. She is not strong and is very nervous but there is no cause, her (husband thinks, to suspicion that she may have tried to take her life. John Mace, her brother, who has been here since Thursday, expects to return to Sheridan this evening. Mrs. Thomas is small in stature, is very fair complected. She is about 45 years of age.
