CAMBRIDGE CITY RECALLS HIGH WAR PRICES WHEN OLD STORE LEDGER IS DISCOVERED

Benjamin Conklin's Records Show Cost of Living in Wayne County Five Years Before the First Railroad Was Built Through Wayne County.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Dec. 15. During the past few months, when conditions in many quarters of the globe, have been unsettled or more or less Influenced by the conditions extant In Europe, when prices have been fluctuating, comparison of those at the present time with those of the Civil war and even earlier have been made. "Research in an attempt to secure a bill of sale, during the Civil war brought to light one of much earlier date and, while it does not make the point, in view of which the search was instituted, is yet of interest. The list of prices was found in an old ledger or account book, kept by Benjamin Conklin, who conducted a dry goods story and grocery In the west side of the Conklin home, just east of the river. The bill bears the date December 4, 1847, and the ledger contains the names of the grandparents and parents of some of our most prominent citizens. At this time the old stage coach, whose coming was heralded by the blast from the horn, stopped at the store, and nearby the horses were changed. Among the articles listed are 16 pounds of bacon, $1.00; 8 yards of calico, $1.94; 2 yards of gingham, $.75; 31, dozen eggs, $.17; 10 pounds cotton yard, $2.20; 8 needles, $.04; 1 fine comb, $.10; pound starch, $.064; 1 bushel salt, $.50; 1 gallon molasses, $.50; 1 pair kid shoes, $1.00; 2 yards HEY KID, KNOW BILLY "DOC'S" SON "Hilly" Zimmerman, son of former mayor W. W. Zimmerman, and high nabob of the Zimmerman household, is about the most popular kid in town right, now. "Billy" always has been a prime favorite with his many playmates, but he is now fairly idolized by army of youths of his age. The secret of the recent big boost in his already well-established popularity leaked out today "Billy" has the biggest Christmas gift fund, to be expended for Yuletide remembrances to his extensive juvenile following, of any boy in the city. "That there 'Billy' Zimmerman has a hundred dollars to buy Christmas presents with, gee whiz," exclaimed one urchin in an awed whisper. "I know 'Billy'; we're awful good friends," he added hopefully. When Dr. Zimmerman was asked to I confirm the report of Billy's Christ mas prosperity, a report which has spread throughout the length and

Cambridge City was then the central point of trade of an extensive territory; a grand depot for the produce of the country, brought here for shipment and for the delivery of merchandise. The merchants of Indianapolis received for a time, their goods at this place. Large quantities of wheat were floured here.

Dismiss One Class. In many schools, the buildings were not sufficiently heated until late in the day and the pupils wore outside coats and were put through calesthenic exercises by the teachers. At Hibberd school the fifth grade pupils were dismissed this morning because the school room was too cold for work. Secretary Melpolder of the Central Charity bureau declared today that there is more charity in Richmond today than there has been at any time In the two preceding winters. "There is more charity going on through the organization than there has been at any time previous of which we have any record," Mr. Melpolder said. "There is an exceptional lot of private charity of which we never receive any report." Poor Request Shoes. The central bureau and the township trustees also received many calls for shoes. Anything less than heavy shoes made outdoor walking almost impossible. Truant Officers Bishop received many calls from school children for shoes. He said that even more calls would have been received but the school children of that condition were unable to stand the walk through the cold from their homes to the attendance office in the court house. The clothing demands have been fairly well met within the past two weeks. The snow brought out the people to whom heavier clothing was necessary and as a result there are fewer calls for clothing than for food and coal. SECOND WAVE FOLLOWS. CHICAGO, Dec. 15.
