RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1914. \

Mrs. Conrad’s Valuable Gowns Were Stolen at Depot.

The Conrad depot was robbed Saturday night, Oct. 10th, and a box of fine gowns expressed from Chicago to Mrs. Jennie Conrad, the wealthy land owner at Conrad, were stolen. Harry Osborne,' the agent, lost a good coat and some small change from the cash drawer. The Kentland Enterprise says: “We are not advised as to the number of dresses in the box stolen, but Mrfe. Cohrad’s wardrobe is maintained in strict keeping with her station, and the loot was jato doubt of considerable value. If the thief happens to be 'blessed with a wife about the size of Mra Conrad, she will be rigged out in fide clothes for some time to come.”

Postoffice at Romney Robbed Thursday Morning.

Burglars who made their escape secured considerable booty at Romney at an early hour Thursday morning. They blew open the safe and secured cash and stamps to the value of $275. Periodically these burglars make their rounds and they usually go from one small town to another, so storekeepers and postmasters in this section had better careful not to leave much of value in the safe. Better put it in on e of the banks.

AN APPEAL.

October 12, 1914. To the Republicans of Indiana: The country needs today a® ®he never needed before, a reunited, militant, victorious republican party. What the country needs it is the duty of every man to give, regardless of personal influences, past party affiliations, anger, pique, resentment, ambition or sacrifice. To fully realize the immeasurable present need Tot the success of the republican party we need but look about us, analyze our own, situation^ 1 or ask any wage earner, manufacturer, farmer—any man in any section or in any walk of life. To the republican party now, as in the past, the country will turn for deliverance. To make the victory certain it is our duty to wage a vigorous campaign. To do this, as everyone knows, requires a certain amount of expense, which,’ by reason of the size of the state, is necessarily large. This is especially true for the balance of the campaign, by reason of the heavy expense of our speakers, meetings and postage.' To provide the money for the necessary expense we have to depend 'solely upon voluntary contributions from individuals /interested In the success of the party and the consequent prosperity of the nation and good government of the state. To meet these financial requirements we appeal to all republicans, to all who are opposed to present conditions in state and nation, and w<? a§k that they send to Frank D. Stalnaker, President of the Indiana National Bank, Indianapolis, and Treasurer of the Republican State Committee, such amounts as they can spare, assuring all contributors that even the smallest sum will be welcomed most heartily.—Republican State Central Committee. Joshua Crowe, 84, is dead. He lived 73 years on one farm near Salem, this state. James Hamilton, 72, fell ten feet from a ladder at Lafayette. He fractured his skull and cannot recover. f Although suffering with a broken arm, James O’Conhel, 14, son of a Bedford newspaper man, covered his route as a paper carrier. The boy fell from a tree while gathering hickory nuts.

Old Monon House in South Hammond Gives Way to Progress.

Lafayette Journal. The Monon authorities are erecting a new building at South Hammond. The structure will be 30 feet wide and 200 feet long. The south fifty feet will be used by the supply department and a foreman appointed to look after the supplies to be stored ih the building. The north end fifty feet will be equipped with wood (working machinery to be used for heavy car repair work. The center one hundred feet will be used as a store house for the better class of lumber and other material, thus adding increased facilities for the repair of cars, making it more convenient to handle bad cars at South Hammond instead of bringing them here for repairs. The improvement has been badly needed for years. The old Monon hotel building at South Hammond is being torn down to make way for more needed improvements by the Monon. The building was owned by theiMonon and was erected several years ago. The material of the old building will be used in erecting a new wood working shop to be located on the site.

The Ford Increases Business.

The sales department of the Ford Motor Company, engaged in an investigation of the use of the Ford by business houses as “salesmanequipment,” have an interesting report from a Chicago company. One of their district salesmen “covers” six towns. He has made an arrange ment for a Ford car at each town on a specified week-day at the rate of SIO.OO per day. The Ford on that day meets him at the depot and he calls upon his customers. He does three days territory in one day Jibe records show that every dollar invested in this way is worth five dollarA of increased earning. This salesman reports that on January first last, he Tesolved to double the volume of his business in 1914 as against 1913. With his Ford schedule he had equalled his total business for 1913 on May 17th last—or within a period of fs>ur and a half months. And he travels now three days instead of six days a week. This system of pre-arranged Ford service in towns to he “covered” is in use by a score of big distributing companies.

21,976 Fords Sold In September.

The Ford Motor Company announces that in the month of September there were sold and delivered 21,976 Ford cars. This was a gain of 11,479 cars over September, 1913. This is significant, not only because it show's that the Ford production is rapidly being increased to meet the stupendous influx of orders, but also because it demonstrates that the Ford Motor Company is maintaining the 300,000 car schedule necessary to give Ford purchasers between August Ist, 1914, and August Ist, 1915, a share of Ford profits.

Fine Saws Bound in Bible Sent to Lake County Prisoners.

Crown Point Star. Deputy Sheriff Kilborn is taking a prisoner to Hammond each day, who is on trial there and is considered one-of the worst men in the Chicago gangs. He was captured in the north end of the county with three other crooks in his company, 6nd their errand to Hammond and Gary was to pass counterfeit SSO bills and rob cash registers. His pals, with a pretended lawyer, have made trouble at our jail in wanting to visit him, and a parcels post package containing a leather bound Bible was recently received at the jail for him, which on examination proved to have two fine saws bound under the back. It has already been shown that he is a very bad man and crook and it is quite certain with the proof now in that he will get a long sentence to the Michigan City prison. The officers during the trips back and forth to Hammond and in court are obliged to be on the lookout the entire time, for his case is now proving desperate for his chances of going free.

The Imp becomes infatuated with an actress and notwithstanding the pleading of Carew and his friends, marries her. Carew was very anxious that the Imp should marry his ward* Phyllis, who has consented to the engagement to plSasH Carew. After the marriage of the Imp to the actress he finds she is an adventuress, returns to Carew, and is forgiven. Carew discovers Phyllis loves him and not the Imp and all ends happily. The play sparkles with bright lines, beautiful love scenes and above all the love of Carew for his old chum's boy, his only thought being to do what he thinks would be best for his happiness.
