Dr. Naftzger Preaches First Sermon

Sunday Morning of the New

Conference Year.

CONDEMNS SUNDAY BASE BALL

Minister Urges Importance of Church

Members Letting the World Know

They Are on the Lord's Side.

The Rev. Dr. L. J. Naftzger was greeted by a great audience on the occasion of his first sermon of the conference year at the Bradley Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morning. Dr. Naftzger was not a stranger to Greenfield. He formed many acquaintance in this city during the session of the North Indiana conference last year when he was superintendent of the Muncie district. His brother and sons by their connections in this county had made the family name familiar, partiuclarly to the Methodists. Dr. Naftzger's first sermon as pastor was in a funeral service Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon he was called for the funeral of E. S. Shelihouse. "Who Is on the Lord's Side?" was the subject of the pastor's sermon Sunday morning, from Exodus 32: 26. 'Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves unto him." In introducing his sermon Dr. Naftzger said, "The most important question is to live, more than to exist. I mean to be in harmony with the highest law of being. A man must have relationship to the State, City, Business and Society, but more important than any or all of these, Relationship to God." The preacher stated the circumstances of the text and told how Aaron sought to excuse self, and brought out the story of the golden calf. "God help us," he said, "we get entangled, then blame conditions for our lack of faithfulness. Moses heard shouting, not victory, not pain, but song, 'Let him come unto me.' We may come near to true worship and yet miss it. Are we on the Lord's side?" Dr. Naftzger emphasized the importance of church members letting it be known where they stand and that their names on a church roster do not tell the story. "If Jesus were to come in at the door are we on the Lord's side? 'If any many will be my disciple deny self, take up the cross daily and follow me.' One must separate from everything that separates from God. There must not only be obedience, but joyful obedience." In conclusion Dr. Naftzger urged his people to stand with Him at any cost.

During the sermon the minister in speaking of things that separate one from God condemned the Sunday base ball and other worldly amusements that were encroaching on the Lord's Day.

Reaching The Top.

in any calling of life, demands a vigorous body and a keen brain. Without health there is no success. But Electric Bitters is the greatest Health

Builder the world has ever known. It compels perfect action of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, purifies and enriches the blood, tones and invigorates the whole system and enables you to stand the wear and tear of your daily work. "After months of suffering from Kidney Trouble," writhes W. M. Sherman, of Cushing, Me., "three bottles of Electric Bitters -made me feel like a new man." 50c. atM. C. Quigley's. 4

E. L. Frazier, of Morristown, evangelist and minister, of the Christian church, has decided to accept a call from the brethfern at St. Petersburg, Florida and is now arranging his business to leave for that place within a few days. Mr. Frazier was pastor of the Shiloh church in Blue .River tqwnship.

THE WOMEN ARE ALSO OFFENDERS

Auto Owners Say They are Endeavor

ing to Observe the Rules of the

Road in Their Driving.

An earnest effort is being by made the owners of automobiles in this city to observe the rules of keeping on the right side of the street and steps will be taken to compel all vehicles to do the same.

A rule that is not heeded in this city is the one that requires a vehicle when it is stopped to be headed west if it is on the the north side of the street, and east if on the south side. In Indianapolis one never thinks of leaving a buggy or machine otherwise. Friday a stranger drove a machine through town on the wrong side of the street at a speed, experienced drivers say, of at least twenty-five miles an hour. The principal offenders against the rules of the road are women. They will drive to a grocery store the most convenient way, regardless of the side of the street or the direction. The result is always confusion.

A man who has long owned an automobile and who is a careful driver said today: "There are too many automobiles now to permit of this careless driving, especially as there is absolutely no excuse for it.''

KUHN IS OUT

Former Greenfield

Pastor Announces

His Candidacy

for a Third

Nomination.

The Rev. Thomas H. Kuhn, of Richmond, twice the Democratic nominee for Congress in the Sixth District, Friday formally announced himself as a candidate for a third nomination. He declares his belief that he can be elected without reference to whom the Republican nominee may be.

The Rev. Mr. Kuhn thus dispels any question that may have existed as to his intention in the matter. Until this time he has authorized no statement and there were assertions among the Democrats that he would not make a contest for the honor.

It is variously rumored that Finley Gray, Mayor of Connersville may also make the race.

Ill THE HIGHER SCHOOLS

Hancock county will be represented in the higher institutions of learning during the next few months. A number of teachers have not definitely decided where they will attend school but a conservative estimate places the number at sixty. A number of high school graduates, who have made twelve months licenses, have already entered a normal school as required by law before they can begin to teach.

Young will sell at private sale, Thirty (30) acres of real estate, situate in Rush county, Indiana, 3 miles west of Carthage, one-half mile west of Walnut Ridge church and school, four miles south of Charlottesville.

"Jim" Riley Visits Home People. James Whitcomb Riley was over from his home in Indianapolis Sunday and spent the afternoon with his brother, John A. Riley, in this city, his native home. He was accompanied by Henry Eitel and and Edmund Eitel, brother-in.law and Jnephew of the Riley brothers. Mr. John A. Riley has been very ill the past week, but his condition is improved and it is the opinion of his physician that he will continue in recovery.

While in the city Mr. Riley called on Mrs. Lee O. Harris and Miss Lizzie Harris.

Cracksmen entered the Greenfield postoffice Friday night and secured about $2,200 in postage stamps, making their escape from town with two horses and buggies stolen from the barns of J. R. Boyd and James Warrick. The postoffice occupies six rooms and basement all the west side of Thayer's Arcade building.

The safe is in the room facing Main street. This room has a solid glass front and an electric light burns all night in the lobby, as well as in the mailing rooms. With all this precaution the safe was cracked and with no clue to the burglars. It was a neat job and evidently the work of professionals. Just enough glycerin was used to break the combination without further damage to the safe. No attempt was made to enter the inside vault of the safe which contained considerable money.

The stamps, money order blanks, etc., were inside the first combination. All the stamps were taken, but the money order books were left on the floor in the postmaster's office, the second room north, and through which entrance to the building was secured from the basement by boring a square in the floor large enough to admit a man's body. Mrs. Parmelia Thayer lives next door to the postoffice and at 2 o'clock she heard what she thought was distant thunder and saw a flash that she took to be lightning. It was not repeated and she fell asleep. This is the only person that appears to have heard the cracksmen.

The exact amount secured by the burglars will not be known until the stock of stamps is checked up by the postmaster, Walter Bridges and the postoffice inspector, who was immediately notified of the robbery.

It is considered a remarkably brave procedure to crack a safe in the prominent place this occupies, so close to the sidewalk. A shade, however, covers most of the glass front. The east side of the room is entirely shut off from lobby and in the other room there are frosted windows. Hence, the robber was after all in comparative obscurity.

Quinn Johnson, night watchman, makes hourly visits to the postoffice and always flashes a light into the rooms as far as the frosted windows and tight partitions will permit. Mr. Johnson saw nothing unusual in his rounds Friday night. Burglars would see to it that their work was done when the officer was engaged elsewhere. That is a part of the profession. Burglaries just as successful as this one are often carried through in large cities where policemen are in every block.

Entrance to the basement was made through the opening to receive coal. Sam Hendrickson, postoffice messenge*, discovered the robbery at 6 o'clock Saturday morning.

The stolen horses were found Saturday morning in a commons in northeast Indianapolis. They had been hard driven and the men who went for them gave them an all day's rest before starting home. One of the buggies stolen was purchased Friday by Aifred Warrick. Hit is believed there were at least four men or they would not have taken two rigs to make their "get away."

Best Treatment for Colds. 'Most ordinary colds will yield to the simplest treatment," says the Chicago Tribune," moderative laxatives, hot foot baths, a free perspiration and an avoidance of exposure to cold and wet after treatment." While this treatment is simple, it requires considerable trouble, and the one adopting it must remain in doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is almost sure to be contracted, and in many instances pneumonia follows. Is is not better to pin your faith to an old reliable preparation like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, that is famous for its cures of colds and can always be depended upon? For sale by all druggist.

ME COUNTY

Many Questioners Started Out Friday

Morning to Reach Every Resi

dent in the County.

Friday morning enumerators began taking the thirteenth census of the United States in Hancock county. These men of inquisitive frame of mind, acting under orders from Uncle Sam sally out to propound such momentous questions as: 'What is your age?" Single, married, widowed or divorced?" "Where were you born?" "Where was your father born?" "Your mother?" "Can you read or write?" and numerous other queries of similar nature. In the city of Greenfield three enumerators tackled the job of finding the pedigree, nativity, occupation, personal descrip tion and other data concerning its citizens. One man is assigned to each ward.

The young married man, still in the blissful enjoyment of his honeymoon need not be surprised if the enumerator, after asking him how long he has been married and carefully scrutinizing him to see if he is telling the truth, puts a cipher after his name. It does not mean that the newly created head of household is a cipher. It simply means that in its matrimonial statistics as to length of marriage the government will disregard fractions of a year, and those not having a full year to their credit will draw a blank.

The useful biddy in the city is to be disregarded, although a count of noses will be made in the case of the horse and cow. With the country enumerator it is different, for in the farm schedule is included the aggregate of the poultry on the farm as well as bees and domestic animals.

The census as provides in cities of 5000 or more, according to the last census the enumeration shall be completed within two weeks after April 15. In rural districts and smaller towns thirty days are given for the work. Throughout the State more than 3,500 enumerators are at work.

The remaining nineteen enumerators are distributed over the county according to districts. Many school teachers obtained the positions as their work is over.

Rheumatism

More than [nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheumatism of the muscles, due to cold or damp, or chronic rheumatism. In such cases no internal treatment is required. The free application of Chamberlain's Liniment is all that is needed, and it is certain to give quick relief. Cive it a trial and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain and soreness. The medicines usually given interally for rheumatism are poisonous or very strong medicines. They are worse than useless in cases of chronic and musclar rheumatism. For sale by all druggists.

The Will of David C. Henry. The last will and testament of David C. Henry was probated Friday. It was made March 18, 1905, and the signature witnessed by Willis Leary and William H. Piper.

PURE GASOLINE

Chicken Cure Purchased by Farmers'

Wife Proves to Be Merely a Com

mon Article of Trade.

When P. T. Barnum said, "The American people like to be humbugged," he spoke one great truth. When some other fellow said, "A sucker is born every minute," he pretty nearly told the truth and as a result all kinds of fakers roam about the country, reaping a rich harvest of shekels.

The latest fake is a peddler, claiming to represent an Anderson firm. He sells a solution guaranteed to knock the pip out of chickens, cure the roup, kill lice and work wonders generally. The other day this fellow stopped at the home of a well known farmer and because the lady refused to invest §1.50 for a half pint of the stuff he became very angry and insulting. He finally agreed to take 75 cents for the bottle and to get rid of him, the lady made a purchase.

He finally left and when the husband came home from the fields that evening he examined the contents of the bottle and found that it was plain, every day gasoline, about 99 per cent pure. The other one per cent was some coloring matter.

Another Chapter in the Story of the

Burglary of the Chair Company

Several Weeks Ago.

Several weeks ago the factory of the National Ajustable Chair Company on West Osage street was entered by burglars and numerous articles taken, including workmen's tools and an electric meter. It has been said that some of the tools were recovored when the rooms occuped by Dan Williams in this city were searched and he, Cordia Martin and Van Derry are now in jail awaiting grand jury action on the charge of pulling off the job.

FINOS LOSS

and With Postmaster Checks

Up Loss.

COMMANDS POSTOFFICE FORCE

Postmaster Makes Loss Good But Will

Be Reimbursed When Formalities

Are all Satisfied.

A government inspector, F. C. Hunter, of Franklin, arrived in this city Saturday evening and with the postmaster and the deputy went into the early morning robbery of the postoffice.

The result of the investigation lowered the loss some from the statement Saturday, finding it to be §2,225.12 in postage stamps of various denominations.

While it is not likely that the postmaster will lose the money, it will take some time for the matter to go the route of department and for him to be reimbursed. This is one of the features of being postmaster that perhaps applicants for the place have not considered. It is admittedly a fine job so long as everything runs smoothly, but such eruptions as Saturday morning that call for putting up §2,000 in cash might be considered one the features of the job that is not nearly so pleasant as signing up the pay roll.

The inspector said it was the neatest burglary he had encountered in his experience, and approved of every arrangement about the oilice. He said the safe was the best to be had for its purpose.

Postmaster Bridges went over to Knightstown Saturday and borrowed of the postmaster enough postage stamps to run the Greenfield office until a supply could be received.

The horses that were stolen were returned Saturday evening. The one owned by James Warrick does not appear any the worse for the huiTied trip to Indianapolis, but J. R. Boyd's family horse is considerably "done up," stiff and sore. This horse had been driven very little and was not in condition to withstand the hard service received.
