Two men arrived In Greencaatle from Spencer Thanksgiving morning and told the police that they had been robbed In the latter town. The men appeared to l*e “wanderoua” and the police did not have much faith in their story. The men stayed around town, hoiwever. Saturday night, so tt is said, they enticed a Swede laborer into the woods, telling him that they would take him to a railroad construction camp and get him a job. Instead of doing this they slugged him and took $20 and a gold watch. They then skipped out. The Swede was left In the woods insensible. He regained consciousness and Sunday came to town and told his tale of woe but the men had skipped.

President Forest Hurst called the meeting to order this morning and Elder Brown rendered the devotional exercise. Miss Bernice Keifer is presiding at the piano.

Prof. Ratcliff chose) scientific subjects to talk on and had apparatus with him to demonstrate! what he had to say. He gave a taik J on physiology and showed how the blood made its course through the, human body and also showed how the corpusels retarded the flow of the i vital fluid. Mrs. Boucher talked on politics in , connection with the school and took particular pains to advise the teachers to keep politics out of their schools and also advised them that it had in place in the school She told tiie leathers tha» r.h y could not ex pect better pay and better conditions until the office of township trustee was taken out of politics and the teachers set to work to equip themselves better for their work.

The country south of Bloomington is aroused over an attempt to wreck the Voulsville express train on the Monon railway Saturday morning at 4 o’clock, six miles south of that place. The attempt, supposed to have been made by robbers, was most dastardly and It was miraculous that the express was not ditohed with great loss of life. The would-be wreckers, after robbing the Monon railway station at Clear creek, four miles south of there proceeded down the track to the place where a switch to the National stone quarry branched off. Standing about 300 feet down this switch were several loaded stone cars. The
