CAPTURED MAN WHO ROBBED SPATE STORE

Orville Grim Arrested In Benton Harbor and Returned Here—Admits He Did the Job. Orville Grim, 20 years of age, admits that he robbed the store of James W. Spate at Newland about Sept. 12th. He was arrested in Benton Harbor, Mich., and Sheriff McColly went to Niles, Mich., Thursday and the sheriff from Benton Harbor brought Grim there and he consented to his return here without the formality of a requisition. Grim admitted his guilt to the sheriff and, in fact, turned over part of the jewelry stolen at that time. A letter in his pocket from a sister in Madison, Wis., stated that she had disposed of two of the watches in Chicago and used the money for a room and to purchase their tickets to Madison. The letter said that the writer was afraid to say on paper all that she would like to say but advised her brother to be very careful as it looked suspicious for him to be offering new jewelry for sale. Grim’s father and mother are working for a family in Barkley township and are said to be good people. Grim will have a hearing next week and will probably be sentenced to Jeffersonville. The jewelry stolen had been placed for sale on commission with Miss Cecelia Spate and was valued at about S2OO, which she had to make good.

Rheumatjsm of the heart is assigned as the caue of his death. The body is being shipped back to Newland and is expected there today and the funeral will be held Saturday at the Barkley church. B.

F. C. FARGO HERE FOR INVESTIGATION

William Field and J. L. Wikoff Call ISuperintendent to Help With Express Tangle.

F. C. Fargo, superintendent of the Indiana division of the American Express Co., came from Indianapolis this Friday morning to assist William Field and J. L. Wikoff, the traveling agents, in unwinding the tangle in the local office over which Walter Gehr, of Lima, Ohio, has presided since July 14th of this year. The agents have nothing to give out yet. Gehr is still here although C. N. Cravens, of** Tipton, has succeeded him as manager of the local office. TJie Republican learns that its estimate of Thursday that the shortage in the accounts is something like SI,OOO, is just about right, although it may exceed that amount to some extent. Mr. Gehr maintains that he has not spent any of the company’s money and says that he can not imagine where it has gone. He has not been arrested and it is probable that the visit of Superintendent Fargo here is to decide what action will be taken along this line. How Gehr could have disposed of about S3O per month is a mystery to t the agents. He has no bad or extravagant habits that have been discovered and has been right on the job all the time since he came i here to take the place. C. N. Cravens, who succeeded him, is a young man from Tipton. He has never worked for the American Express Co., although he has worked for the Wells-Fargo Co. He is a man of pleasing appearance and will doubtless prove an efficient man. The salary paid a local manager is not as : much, it would seem, as should be I paid, and the way in which trains run here and the extent of the hauls keeps an agent on the job from 6 o’clock in the morning until 7 and 8’ o’clock at night. It looks like $76 would be a small enough salary f (ft the job but it lacks quite a little of paying that amount and probably able men will use it only as a stepping stone to better jobs, just as George A. Hart did.

Says Interurban Company Is Being Reorganized.

W. L. Moyer was here for several hours today and states that his business was in connection with the plans of the Lafayette & Northwestern Traction Co., which is being reorganized in Lafayette and which plans to proceed with the enterprise which O. L. Brown had undertaken. Brown will be left out of the new company and Mr. Moyer states that substantial people will be at the head of it. He says that he believes the people along the right-of-way will be willing to vote for the subsidy if the company is composed of men who are known to be able to finance or to secure the financing of the road.

Stork Stops the Press Of the Kentland Enterprise.

The Newton County Enterprise came out a half day late this week and throws the responsibility for the 'delay to the already overworked stone. It was not Editor Davis, however, who received the stork’s contribution but Lesley Miller, the foreman, and the gift was an 11-pound boy, probably soon to become the boss of the home and destined in some future period to become a distinguished journalist.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1915.

J. BLAINE GWIN TRAINED IN WORK

El Paso Herald Tells' of Rensselaer Boy Who Is to Be Head of Associated Charities. The Republican contained a brief mention several days ago of the fact that J. Blaine Gwin, of Paterson, N. J., son of J. C. Gwin and wife, of this city, had been chosen superintendent of the Associated Charities work at El Paso, Tex. He will arrive here about the middle of November and remain over night with his parents, going then to El Paso to take up his work. The El Paso Herald gives the following account of his work and tells how he was chosen from a large field of applicants. The article follows: J. B. Gwin, of Paterson, N. J., will arrive in El Paso about Nov. 16th or Dec. 1, to enter upon his duties as superintendent or executive secretary of the Association Charities.

(Mr. Gwin is highly recommended by the Russell Sage Foundation as a trained and experienced executive in social service. He has been engaged in this work for five years in Paterson, a city of nearly 200,000 population, where there is a big industrial class and especially a very large population of foreigners of all races and nationalities. It is believed that his Paterson experience will be particularly valuable to him in taking hold of the work here. The finance and executive committees of the Association Charities fully realizing the prime importance of having a trained executive in charge of the central bureau, have busied themselves earnestly for several weeks in trying to locate just the right man for this place. There have been a number of applicants, and the field has been well canvassed, with the result that the committees feel well pleased with the choice that has been made. The new secretar yis a brother of Perry Gwin, of El Paso, is a graduate of the university of Indiana and is a native of Rensselaer, Ind., where his father is engaged in the wholesale and retail lumber business. As Blaine Gwin, the new Associated Charities official, made a splendid record as a football player while in college and was also a brilliant student in economics, social science and other courses in social service. He was a fraternity man while in school. After his graduation, Mr. Gwin, dressed as a trapip and with a month’s growth of beard on his face, lived with tramps and. in the tenements of Paterson and made a study of living conditions there at first hand. He afterward wrote a series of articles for t ehPaterson papers on his experiences, the papers printing his picture in his costume as a tramp. Mr. Gwin is a young man, but has made a national reputation with the results he has obtained in the Paterson field.

ANDERSON GIRL SOUGHT BY MOTHER

Girl Who Was Here With Leona Helsel Believed By Mother to Have Gone to Frankfort. When Leona Helsel was arrested for the alleged theft of money from Erik. Lindstram there was in her company a young girl named Fern Anderson, whose home is in Chicago. The girl was rather comely and did not have the appearance of immorality. She came here from Monon with the Helsel girl and was with her for a day or two after the Helsel girl gave bond. It seems that the girl, who is only 17 years of age, was visiting in Monon and that her mother was with her. Wednesday, however, she left Monon and went to Monticello, where her mother followed her, but could not locate her. Later it was learned that she had gone to Frankfort with a woman named Blake. The mother procured the services of Marshal Ireland, of iMonticello, and went to Frankfort and it was feared that the girl and the Blake woman would leave Frankfort before the mother and the officer could arrive.

The republican statement was accompanied by a table giving results from every county in the state as compiled at that party’s headquarters. It was declared the returns have been certified by every republican election official in the state and have been so thoroughly verified as to permit of no mistake. S. W. Hager, chairman of the democratic state committee, issued a statement asserting Mr. Stanley’s majority would be not less than 3,000.

Two Couples Married In Rensselaer Thursday.

Two marriage licenses were issued by Clerk Perkins Friday afternoon and both couples were married that day. Isaac E. Biggs and Nora Elma Height were married by Squire Spitler in the clerk’s office.

Otis Crandall Still Gets Name On the Sparting Page.

Otis Crandall, once one of the great pitchers for the New York Giants, but with the Feds for the past year or two, who ha ß lately been picking off a few beans by playing with the Frankfort Firsts, continues to get a heading in the sporting pages occasionally. He will join a bunch of trap shooters and tour the country during the winter. Christy Matheson, Harry Davis, “Chief” Bender and some of the other “nceo greats” are to be in the crowd. They are to shoot 100 targets in each of 18 cities and each will receive SSOO and expen ß es. All are excellent trap shots.

GOOD TREATMENT FOR OILY SCALPS

Makes Hair Fluffy and Easy to Manage. ♦ ; Men and women whose hair and scalp are excessively oily have hard work keeping their hair in good condition. Dust and dirt mingle with dandruff, cling to the oily hair and scalp, ciog and make proper cleansing almost impossible. Parisian Sage is an ideal treatment for this trouble. Wash the hair not oftener than once a week, but use Parisian Sage twice daily, pouring a little into the parted hair and rubbing briskly right into the scalp with the finger tips. It drives out dandruff, dissolves the excess oil and stimulates the scalp into healthy normal action. This simple remedy can be obtained from B. F. Fendig’s or any drug counter and is very inexpensive.

SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR

It’s Grandmother’s Recipe to Restore Color, Gloss and Thickness. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. \ Nowadays we get this famous mixture by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is that ,besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
