Sneakthief Makes Haul At Home of Ross Ramey.

While Mr. and Mrs. Ross Ramey were down town Tuesday evening from their home in the north part of town, a sneakthief entered their home and robbed it of jewelry, including a watch and pair of bracelets, silverware, sll from the pockets of a pair of trousers Ross had left hanging in a closet, and $5 or $6 from their baby’s bank, which had been opened and thrown on the floor. The drawers of the house had been ransacked and the contents were thrown on the floor. Home talent is suspected of the robbery, as the child’s bank had been robbed once in January. This should serve as a warning for persons not to leave money laying around and to lock their houses securely when they leave home.

SUBSIDY DEFEATED IN NEWTON TOWNSHIP

Vote Was 57 to 76 Against Tax Aid For Lafayette & Northwestern -—Friends Disappointed. f* The subsidy election in Newton township resulted in a defeat for the proposition by a majority of 19. The vote stood 57 for and 76 against. It was a red hot election and the supporters and the enemies of the subsidy were busy from early morning until the pollSv closed and the vote was counted. O. L. Brown, promoter, H. E. Shelllhouse, engineer, Perry O’Connor, an ardent worker in Round Grove township, White county, and C. H. Stucker, who was one of the busy workers in Jackson township, Newton county, when- the subsidy was voted there, were all working for the tax, and Erhart Wuerthner and Joe Kosta Were the main workers against the subsidy. The opponents claimed that they would defeat it by 30 votes and the supporters had hopes of carrying it by a narrow margin, but when the votes were counted the defeat by the above vote was shown. It is not known what effect the defeat of this one election will have on the proposition, but it has been understood that Mr. Brown, the promoter, was informed by the men who have been asked to back the construction, that’i t will be necessary to have the tax aid voted in substantially all' the townships along the route of the road to secure the needed financing. “E” Wuerthner, the chief noise maker of the opposition, is said to conceitedly point to the job and announce that, he is the chief railroad destroyer, but a Newton township farmer aptly describes Erhart as being like a bellowing calf that belongs to an otherwise orderly herd. That he makes all the noise but don’t make any converts. It is too bad that Newton township, which would doubtless receive much of the benefit and which is the first township in Jasper county to

COUNTY DELEGATIONS FOR STATE CONVENTION

Many Counties Organizing For Sunday School Meeting at Logans port On June 17th and 18th. Reports to the Indiana Sunday School Association at Indianapolis show that there is going to be an unusually heavy attendance of Sunday school workers from northern and northwestern Indiana counties at the state convention, which will be held at Logiansport June 17 and 18. Eight or ten counties are organizing large delegations which will go to the convention in special oars and are planning to remain throughout the meeting that all of the eminent speakers who are on the three days program may be' heard. Some of the larger delegations are being made up in Howard, Tipton, Marshall, St. Joe, Jasper and Lake counties. Since the speakers and conferences cover every phase of Sunday school work, interest in the convention is keen among the individual workers, who are endeavoring to reach the highest possible perfection in the organized work of their own schools. The practical instruction which the convention will offer is so extensive that numerous conferences will be held simultaneously. Three of Logansport’s largest churches will be used for the meeting and it is expected that the attendance from over Indiana will be so large that at times two or three general sessions will be held at the same time. Some of the Sunday schools will be represented by a hundred or more delegates. Music will be one of the convention features and it will be under the direction of Prof. R. J* Mitchell, of Ironton, Ohio.

DOING THEIR DUTY

Scores of Rensselaer Readers are Learning the Duty of the Kidneys. To filter the blood is the kidneys’ duty. When they fail to do this the kidneys are weak. Backache and other kidney ills may follow. Help the kidneys do their work. Use Doan's Kidney Pills —the tested kidney remedy. Rensselaer people endorse their worth. Nelson Randle, N. Main St., Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills at different times when suffering from a 'lame and aching back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I got tins medicine at Fendig’s Drug Store. Relief soon followed its use and the backache and other kidney ailments were removed. I do not know of a case where Doan’s Kidney Pills have failed to prove of benefit.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Randle had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N; Y.
