hive of industry in our midst which
was revelation to us. These people |
are buying about one thousand bushels |
of apples daily; are employing forty
five operatives, who handle 500 bushels
per day, taking them from the bins out
side and carrying them through all the
various processes, from pearing to
packing the dried evaporated fruit.
An idea of the rapidity of the work
may be had when it is known that
within three hours after the Jacket" is
off, the fruit is ready for packing.
1t will be remembered that few
months ago a Dr.. COnklin came TO this
place, rented j. Nj. Longwell's dwelling
house on Kalamazoo street, moved his
family here and settled down to the
practice of medicine. For some reason
the doctor remained here but short
time, and the next we hear of him is
his mysterious disappearance from his
home in Cassopolis, where he located in
May. 1t appears that q week ago last
Sunday evening, after returning from
church and caring for his horse, he told
his wife that he was going up to his
office to attend upon two colored men
who were outside waiting for him, but
that he would be gone but short time.
Since that time DR.. Conklin has not
been seen or heard from by his family
or the people of Cassopois. His office
the next morning was found unlocked
and in somewhat disordered condi-
ton, but nothing was missing nor was
there any evidence of a struggle or any
unusual occurrence. Stone lake, di-
rectly on the banks of which the village
is located, has been dragged, dynamite
bombs have been sunk and exploded,
but nothing mp to the present date has
brought DR.. Conklin to the surface or
to his home. Many theories are flying
