This week we are showing new patterns in davenports and couches. Our full line of leather covered davenports in both fumed and polished finishes are in and on the floor. We feel that we have by far the most complete line that has even been shown in Rensselaer. In the new patterns we are showing one Mahogany bed davenport in demask covering and one fiber bed davenport in tapestry covering. One over stuffed davenport in tapestry covering. Also eight tapestry covered couches. Dont delay too long in ordering your new davenport and couch as it is going to be almost impossible to get a shipment on furniture in the next few months. W. J. WRIGHT

Vladivostok, Siberia, March 26. Bodies of two Russian officers, with the ears eut off and the hands nailed to the shoulder blades, were found in the First River, near here, today. Allied officers claim the discovery corroborated stories of Bolshevik outrages. Leetish Bolshevik in Courland are reported to have taken a large number of old men, women and children from Mittau, when German forces approached that city, through the snow to a camp forty miles away. The party who were too weak to walk were executed, including a number of women and children.

“JIM’S” SHOW GOES OVER GREAT IN PARIS.

The All-American 82nd Division Players gave their opening performance last night in Paris at the Theatre des Champs-Elsees, before a crowded house. The boxes were filled with members of the American Peace Commission and the general officers of the 82nd Division. The show went with a snap that is common only to professional shows. The opening was a dancing scene of peasant and peasant girls in France, and the finale was the rejoicing of this Division on its journey home. Practically all the music of this three-act musical comedy was written by Color-Sergeant James F. Hajjley, of the 320th Artillery. His songs: “Falling Down a Mountain of Love,” and “Where Are You Going, Mademoiselle?” promise to be hits when "the show is staged in New York. Sergeant Kaiser, as a negro ; Private Lakerman, in Jewish character; Private Grant, as an M. P., and Private Beckform the comedians of the plot, and on every appearance brought down the house by their punchy jokes. Sergeant Lee Tanten was a hit of the evening with his icedancing. The nine beautiful chorus girls wre gowned by Corporal de Wolf, formerly of the Lucille establishment of New York. A bacon tin, a tent pin, a stick of woqd and a buzzer wire make the instrument known as a trench-fiddle, which was played with remarkable fidelity by Private Allen. The words and music of “Toot Sweet” were written by Sergeant Hanley, and the show, staged under he direction of Captain Edgar p. Dunlap, Hadquarters Commandant, jespeaks long preparation and an attentjwn to detail that is remarkable in a soldier play. There is not a dull moment in the show; two hours of continuous laughter, and a feeling of a well-spent evening on leaving. The show will be given at the same theatre this evening an dtormorrow evening at 8:15 p. m., under the auspices of the Y. M. C.. A. No admission will be charged.

ROBBERS OBTAINED $1,500 CASH IN MOROCCO HAUL.

It has been learned that the bandits who entered the Farmers bank at Morocco last Tuesday night obtained *51,500 in cash in addition to the $25,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, after cutting all telephone and telegraph wires leading to the city. lit has been discovered Jhat only unregistered bonds were taken, the bandits carefully separating others from a larger number that were found in the bank vault proper, which is not connected with the safely deposit vault. The securities, lowever, belonged to individual dejositors and none, as far as is known was insured. The bonds were laying loose in the vault, it is said, making it necessary only for the robbers to blow open the vault door to give them access to the >ooty. From the method in which the safe was forced it is presumed that nitroglycerin was used. No tools of any kind were left by the intruders, and there was nothing to give a clew to their indentity. William Archibald, the cashier, made the discovery of the loss when lie went to the twd-story brick building, in which the bank housed, to open up for business Tuesday. Outside of the damage to the vault door there was little to indicate that the jank had been entered. Papers in the vault had been disarranged very ittle, contrary to the general rule m holdups. The $1,500 in money taken was m a small outside the vault. This contained only a small part of the bank’s assents and it is presumed that it was blown open after the vault had been entered. Nothing but the moneywas removed from it. How the robbers escaped is not known. They may have made their way from Morocco in an automobile, or may have taken refuge in some obscure part of the surrounding country, later leaving on a train from ftpme small station. Some persons hold the latter theory.

LIEUT. GWIN THOMAS UNDERGOES SECOND OPERATION.

Lieutenant Gwin Thomas, of Monticello, a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gwin, of this city, and a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Halleck, recently underwent a second operation, the result of wounds received in France, last August. The following item is taken from the Monticello Herald: Lieut. Gwin Thomas, son of Surveyor and Mrs. George A. Thomas who was moved from Debarkation Hospital No 2, Staten Island, to the Walter Reed hospital at Washington, D. C. several weeks ago, is recovering from a second operation for the removal of pus from his lung, which he underwent about two weeks ago. He submitted to an operation while at the Long Island hospital and for a time improved in health, but it was found that the pus was not draining from the lung as it should and the second .operation was performed since which time he has made a rapid improvement in health. Lieut. Thomas is also still suffering from wounds received in battle on August 6, 1918, following which he contracted influenza and pneumonia, but it is believed that the wounds will not give him much trouble when he recovers from the other illness. His leg which was injured, and which has been partially parahized is improving and it is thought that when he is strong enough to walk on crutches that it will gradually regain its normal strength.

PAUL WORLAND IN GERMANY WITH OCCUPATION ARMY.

The following letter has been received by D. M. Worland from his son, Paul, who is with the American army of occupation in Germany, and contains many things of general interest : Kelburg, Germany, March 3, 1919. Dear Dad— Thought I’d write you a letter tonight to enclose two views -of the town I am in. Tonight I called up the 150th Field Artillery at Nuenahr and was able to talk to Ed. Rose for a few minutes on the phone. I saw Ed on the Chateau Thierry drive near the town of Chery and a few days ago I was passing through his town on my way to Germany from France, but I had so much baggage that I was unable to stop. Ed is going to meet me in Adenau in a few days if he can arrange it. That town is about half way between his and my own. Last night Iwas in Adenau with some patients for the hospital and on the return trip which was made at night I had to stop to fix my lights. I was waiting, or rather working, when a Dutchman crawled into the aack end of my ambulance on the sly ( we are not permitted to haul Germans) and pulled a small wagon back of the car. I did not' know that le was riding with me until I turned a sharp corner. I slowed down so very slow that the rattle of his wagon made me think that I had a flat tire. My helper got out to see, and discovered the wagon. From thn on it was a., game of “whip cracker,” the wagon being the cracker. I have already installed the new motor that John furnished me, as well as the new brakes, so from that you can imagine how that wagon snapped around the corners. The Dutchman kept hanging on and I began to wonder just how much much speed his little wagon would stand. All at once he began to scream and yell until I thought he must be having a fit or going crazy, so I stopped. Evidently that was what he wanted for he quit squealing at once. He began jabbering in German, “Ich bin Krank, and other things in German I couldn’t understand. He meant to convey that he was sick or he would not have stolen a ride. He was more or less scared, and oily as .the Germans usually are, he decided it was safer if he would pose as sick. However, we had our fun, so I waited until he got his wagon out of the ditch and then asked him to try it again, but he said that he was better and would walk the rest of the distance —which he did. Perhaps when he gets on an American ambulance again he will think it over twice first. , , All divisions, I understand, have been designated to return to the U. S., excepting those from and including the First to the Seventh, Regular Army Divisions. That means that if the United State keeps and army, in Europe indefinitely we are it. Unless I can arrange a way to be discharged. I am apt to be here for some months. Officers and enlisted men have been able to obtain discharges by application to the War Department through Senators and Representatives upon prhof that their services at home were indispensable. Would like very much for you to do what you can for me and let me know as early as possible what you have done.

TO ORGANIZE STATE POLLED HEREFORD ASSOCIATION

Oren E. Bell, of Union township and William Sialbaum, of Walker township, Jasper county’s two breeders of Polled Hereford cattle, went to Hartford City today where they will attend the meeting of the Polled Hereford breeders of the state for the “purpose of organizing a permanent organization. Friday these' men will attend a big PoJßed Hereford sale at Muncie. ’ v

COTA AND MELLIN ARE HELD WITHOUT BAIL

The preliminary hearing of the cases of Mike Mellin and Alexander Cota, of Wolcott, who were charged with murder in the first degree following the automobile accident at Mionon Saturday night and which suited in the killing of Mrs. Samuel Graves, was giveij before Justice of the Peace Catlin at Monon Wednesday. The court found that the men should be bound over to the circuit court, and will be held without bail and returned to the White county jail on the charge-of first degree murder until their trial shall come up in the White circuit court, the date for the trial to be set later. Cota and Mellin were taken back to Monticello Wednesday afternoon. There' were four witnesses for the state. The defense had no witnesses in the hearing held Wednesday. The evidence of the state showed that the car which was occupied by Mellin and Cota was traveling at the rate of twenty miles an hour when it struck Mrs. Graves.

Can you doubt the evidence of this Rensselaer citizens? You can verify Rensselaer endorsement. Read this: Landy McGee, fur dealer, says: “I suffered from a lame back and such severe pains across my loins that I could hardly move. I couldn’t rest well and my kidneys were too active. I used several medicines, but nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills, at B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. The backache and pains in my loins soon left and the kidney secretions became natural.” (Statement given May 81, 1907. On February 22, 1910, Mr. MoGee said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are still my stand-by. I think they are fine and I am never without them in the house.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills 4 —the same that Mr. McGee had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
