The new steel postoffice keyless lock boxes and furniture arrived Tuesday and was placed in position that evening, and beginning Wednesday morning patrons of the office began learning ing the combinations to their new lock boxes. This new furniture is a very pretty and a much needed improvement over our old “key* lost” lock boxes and call boxes, presenting a creditable appearance to those waiting for their mail, is equipped with stamp and money order windows, with boxes for general delivery mail, and receptacles for books and other things necessary to the postmaster’s convenience. Postmaster Oambbell is justly proud of his new addition to New Richmond and bis many patrons rejoice with him that these improvements have come to one and all of us and we congratulate him on the good move. All boxes are keyless boxes.

Will Orawfordsville win Friday night?

Lebanon Daily Reporter: Mrs. R. 0. Jones of North Meridian street, underwent a Caesarean section operation at the Williams hospital at 12 o’clock last midnight (Friday.) It was yet six weeks before time for confinement, but late yesterday afternoon she was seized with puerperal convulsions. Dr. De Laskie Smith was called and he immediately called Dr. Williams for consultation. She was removed to the hospital and prepared for the operation. About midnight Dr. Williams, assisted by Drs. Smith, Armstrong and Gooke, performed the operation. The child, a baby girl, was delivered and today the babe and mother are doing well, although the serious condition of the mother that made an operation of this sort necessary renders the recovery of the mother and baby uncertain for several days to come. The Caesarean operation is a rare one and this is the first, so far as is known, that has ever been performed in this county. The operation required only thirty minutes.

Mrs. Charles Kirkpatrick was the guest of her brother and family, W. W. Washburn, in Crawfordsville, at a dinner party Friday.

Prisoners sent to the Indiana penal farm will not be allowed to rest in ease. They will be given their board and lodging but they must pay for the same by actual labor. During rainy disagreeable days when prisoners can not work, they will be docked for the loss of time and must stay on the farm and *work that much longer. This will certainly be an improvement over the old method of allowing men to play cards, smoke, chew and sleep during their term of sentence with no work to do. It has been noticed frequently that while “father” was in jail he enjoyed himself while “mother” and the children did the suffering for the father’s cussedness.

A word of explanation relative to the operation known as the Caesarean section might be of interest to many people. It consists of an incision being made into the middle line of the abdomen and the infant delivered through this incision in place of the normal way. Mrs. Jones was formerly Miss Lola Burke. Robert C, Jones is the son of Mr. anc Mrs. W. T. Jones of New Richmond.

Some fifteen or twenty men from New Richmond and Sugar Grove vicinity were in LaFayette Monday, to appear as witnesses in the chicken thieving cases of George Ross and Richard Moyer, who stole a half dozen chickens each from Carl Green burg and Thomas Davis one warm night last August. Ross was arrested next morning in Richmond when he attempted to sell the poultry; Moyer was arrested later in the day near near Elston while trying to make his getaway. The pair have remained in jail ever since. When brought before Judge Caldwell Monday morning both men plead guilty to the charge of of petit larcency. The Judge assessed each man a fine of $5.00 and sentenced them to serve a term of from one to eight years in the penitentiary. Ross goes to Michigan City prison; Moyer because of his youth goes to the reformatory at Jeffersonville. The arrest and conviction of the pair was due largely to the efforts of the New Richmond horse company. No evidence was taken from the fifteen or twenty gentlemen who went from here.
