Robert Stack, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James Maloney, on West Columbia Street, City, on the morning of January 22, 1909 He was born in County Kerray, Ireland, in the year, 1819, and was ninety years of age at his death. Mr. Stack came to this country 4n 1847, landing at New Orleans. He was married to Joanna Brown, in 1 '.73, at Terre Haute, Indiana. Mr. Stiick and wife took up their residence at Greencastle, as soon as they were msfTried, and spent the remainder of their lives in this city, Mrs. Stack having died January 19, 1880, from this marriage were nine children, five of whom now survive their father, viz: Mrs. James Maloney, City; Mrs. 0. G. Williams of Chicago; Mrs. C.'H. Bierce of Portland; J. I). Stack of Trinadad, Col., who is now superintendent of the Colorado Southern Railroad and M. W. Stack of Denver, Colorado. Mr. Stack and one Mr. Zigler were the first persons to take up a collection for the erection of the Catholic Church in Greencastle. When he and his young wife settled in Greencastle, there were only a few log cabins on the present site of the city. Mr. Stack was known by almost every mhn, woman and child in his vicinity, and was generally known as ‘Uncle Bob”. He took up construction work when he first arrived in this country, and when about 20 years of age he went into buisness for himself, as a contractor. He was very successful, and it was with great pleasure he would recall the work he did in the early days on railroads in this part of the country. Having moved north from New Orleans, he was one of the contractors and constructors in the building of the old Madison Railroad, which was the first to cross Indiana, also a contractor and builder in the construction of the Monon Railroad. He was associated in business for many years with the late Col. Morris of Indianapolis, and most of the early railroads were built under their supervision. Mr. Stack had Tieen in failing health for several years, and during his closing years has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. James Maloney, where he died from old age.

Jim Holl^ck was arrested Thursday afternoon for intoxication. After several hours in jail Jim became despondent and atempted to hang himself. He used his suspenders as a rope and the top of the jail door for a beam. The suspenders broke, however, and his attempt was futile. Then Jim tore up a bed matre»s for a rope but he could not get that to work. The other inmates of the jail watched him and would have prevented his “realty” hanging himself. Finally, however, the other inmates of the jail wanted to go to bed but Jim made so much noise that they could not go to sleep. Finally Sheriff Stroube was called and put him in the dungeon for the remainder of the night. Next morning lloflick was before the Maywf’ and paid a fine of $15 for intoxication. About an hour after he bad paid his fine he again was arrested for intoxication. He may attempt suicide again Friday. He has a habit of doing that every time he is put in jail.

Mail lni|>ro|M'rly Attended to Still Causes Murli Trouble at the Local Postoffico—Myniy Knvelopps \re Not Stamped. \

TINSELED CARDS MUST BE SEALED

TO BUILD ONLY 2 STORIES

In spite of the many warnings and r.utiees given out by Postmaster Dunbar, Greencastle people still persist in mailing cards and letters without stamps or addresses. A large quantity of first-class mail is received each week by the local i>ostoftice authoriUee each week must be held in the office for thirty days and then forwarded to the dead-letter office at Washington, D. C.. and there destroyed. The carelessness thus exhibited by the local residents causes a great deal more trouble than would at first be supposed. Another nuisance, that of the mailing of cards bearing tinsel or mica, is disposed of by this monthis General Order from headquarters.

“It would he astonishing,” said a postoffice employe this morning, “to

Masonic Lodge Could Not Agree on Terms With N. C. Pi-evo and A. II. Hanna, Who Will Kreot a New Biisine>-s Block at the Corner of Indiana and Walnut Streets.

TO BE COMPLETED BY SEPT. 1

Because the Masonic lodge could not get together on the proposition of taking the third Hoor of Greencastle’s new building, the owners of the proposed business house. S. C. Prevo, of Chicago, and A. B. Hanna, of this city, have changed their former plans and will erect instead, a two-story building for their business rooms. It seems that although they had no trouble in raising the necessary money, the Masons could not agree on terms with Mr. Prevo and Mr. Hanna. “We have changed our plans,” said S. C. Prevo, while waiting for the noon train to go to his home in Chicago, "and will now erect a handsome two-story building which will be large enough for our own use. We thought that the Masons would not hesitate when we made them the offer of the third floor for it is the best chance they will ever have, but since their could not agree, we will simply build for our own use. The plans are now in the hands of the architect and will be given out to the contractors as soon as possible. It is our desire to have the building finished and ready for occupancy by the first of September.”

FUNERAL OF ROBERT STACK

The funeral of Robert Stack was held at 9 o’clock Monday morning at St. Paul's Catholic Church. The services were conducted by Father McLaughlin. Burial was in Forest Hill Cemetery.

TO STRENGTHEN LIQUOR LAWS

WORK ON PANAMA PROGRESSING

H. Goldsmith, lately Returned From Isthmus Reports That the Work is Marvelous.

Hostetter, of Putnam, has a bill to strengthen the present liquor laws. The violations by saloon men that now result in fines and Jail sentences selling to minors, selling after hours and on Sunday—he would make punishable by revocation of license on second offence. This will have real effect, he believes. “Saloon men won't dare violate the law if it means the suspension of their business." Hostetter said. Indianapolis News.

know how much mail is deposited here without being addressed or stamped. We have issued orders, given out personal pleas and put up notices, yet to no good, for we receive from forty to sixty letters each week which pe must hold here for thirty days and then forward to the uead letter office just because thpy are not mailed properly.” The letters which are not stamped are sometimes sent to the proper person, bul only after that person has been notified and has sent the required postage. The other mail, that which is not addressed is held here for the required length of time and then forw.juled to Washington where It is usually destroyed. All of this trouble could easily| be avoided if the people would only put return addresses on the corner of each parcel of mail as the postmaster has many

times requested.

The other bane of a mail clerk's life, that of handling cards covered with tinsel and mica, has been disposed of by this month’s General Orders from headquarters, which state that such cards must be mailed in a sealed envelope. Formerly the law has not required that the envelope be sealed but now it must be closed and fastened the same as first-class letters, or it will be destroyed or sent to Washington. The two reasons given for this new ruling are to prevent the beauty of the cards from being spoiled by the handling and to prevent the tinsel and mica from getting into and injuring the machinery of the canceling machine.

C. H. Goldsmith, who has just returned from a week’s visit In Panama, reports that the work on the canal is bofng rapidly pushed. There are three hundred and Iwo locomotives and nearly as many steam shovels working night and day on the comparatively short ditch. There are more engines in this fifty-two mile strip than there are on the Vandalia or Big Four, Indianapolis to St. I,ouis division. “One can not realize just how much work is being done,'' said the traveler this morning, "until he actually sees some of it In progress, lust to state the amount of dirt that is shoveled out every day does pot oiivey by far any real impression of : he amount of work ivhich is done there day and night.” Mr. Goldsmith was here Monday roni his home in Terre Haute.

Lawyers of Clay and Morgan counties appeared before the Senate committee on organization of courts Thu rsday afternoon, to discuss the bill introduced by Senator Royse, to separate the counties of Clay and Putnam Into separate court districts. The Morgan county men would like to see the bill amended so that Morgan and Owen counties would be divided into separate circuits and Owen and Putnam combined, thus leaving Clay with the separate circuit, which it desires. The Putnam county men object to this. J. p. Hughes, of Greencastle. prosecuting attorney for Clay and Putnam county did not desire to be divorced from Clay county, but that if this cruel separation must take place, Putnam county .desired to remain single. Putnam county, he declared, had no desire for any court alliance with Owen county. Hughes said that railroad connections between Greencastle, in Putnam eount$. and Spencer, In Owen county, were |>oor. Morgan county men charged that Hughes was looking forward to his own election as judge, and that with Clay and Putnam counties remaining together as one circuit, he would stand a pretty

good chance of winning.
