A Youthful Sneak Thief.

On Wednesday Linkenhelts money
drawer was robbed of 1925 No one
was seen to take the money but Fred
Hill, the fifteen-year- old son of Westley
Hill was suspected of the theft. The
lad afterward acknowledged his crime.
Immediately upon obtaining the money
he went to the Corl livery barn In COM
pany with two other boys, who are at
present unknown, and hired a rig for
Pretty Lake. The city marshal found
the rig about fifteen minutes afterward
tied to the stock yards fence near the
Pittsburg depot. There is convincing
evidence that besides being guilty of
this mlsdemeanor, he is the one who
stole Harry Bucks Columbian half dol
lars. A warrant for his arrest has been
sworn out. 1t is safe to assert that the
boy will be sent to the reform school as
soon as possible.

FRANK.

He stirred Up Feelings of State Pride at
the Nj. T.. Church Monday Night.
w. II. Smith of Indianapolis, a vet
eran newspaper man, and who is now
giving his time to compiling history
of Indiana, made his audience proud of
Hooserdom at the M. E. church Mon
day night. He believes that our school
children will sing "My native country,
thee" with feeling only when their
minds are filled with the heroism and
greatness of their own countrymen
rather than that of the ancient Greeks
and Romans. One of his main pur-
poses was to show up the resources of
Indiana and create feeling of pride
on the part of his audience in these re-
sources. Mr.. Smith would second State
Superintendent Geeting's appeal to the
school children of Indiana for penny
collection on Indiana Day, but he would
use the proceeds to building monu-
ment TO John Beard, the pioneer legis-
lator from Montgomery county, who,
by his untiring efforts, made our edu-
cational sinking fund reality. State
Superintendent Geeting has suggested
that it be appropriated in erecting a
cottage at the soldiers home.

The County Teachers institute was
opened Monday morning at the NJ +.
church, the early rain delaying the or
ganizatiOn somewhat as great many
teachers from distant portions of the
county were unable to reach the city at
the usual hour for organization. Supt.
Marks met the instructors at one of the
early trains Monday morning.
Immediately upon assembling Mon
day, County superintendent Marks
took up about half an hour explaining
the work at hand and James Trow-
bridge, of North township, who was
selected last year as secretary assumed
the task of enrolling the teachers pres
ent. Peter ID. Bergner, of this city, is
treasurer of the institute
A committee on Introduction was
appointed, consisting of the following
Eta Harmon, Elmer Beckner, Mate
Gonter, Glen Dillingham; and Helen
Dlsher.
AS heretofore announced Prof. San
ford Bell, of the Northern Indiana
Normal school, is handling psycolo gy
and pedagogy. Prof. Sherman Davis,
of the State university, discourses on
English composition, literature, gram
mer, history, civics and science Prof
w. L. Giffe, of Logansport will devote
the week instructions as to "How
Music Should be taught in the country
schools"
The enrolment at the close of the
days work was III.
The County Teachers institute was
exceptionally interesting Tuesday.
Monday was devoted largely to out
lining the work for the week and was
explanatory of the purposes of the sew
eral instructors, but Tuesday they had
gotten down to business, advancing
theories which experience on the part
of instructors justifies them in recon-
mending to the practice of common
school teachers.
On assembling Tuesday morning, the
roll had grown to 140. The minutes of
Friday afternoon of last years session
and the doings of Monday were read
and approved.
Supt. Marks then appointed the fol-
lowing committees:
Auditing Committee j. Curtis,
l.. G. Harley, Anna Kensinger.

A Wedding i'm Jail.

The new Jail at South Bend has had
its first wedding, the high contracting
parties being "Msjor" Evans, French
negro, under arrest for killing the
woman he professed to love, and Nellie
Heinkle, white, who caused his arrest.
They were married in the. cell room of
the jail, the prisoners being witnesses
and the curfew bell ringing out the
greeting. The prosecution against
major" Evans will be dropped.

bOrhOOd of Sl0OO0000 and considering
that this was worked out in the crudest
way imaginable, and from two small
creeks not twenty miles in all, the
amount is enormous. | think | will
stay here, at least for awhile. L think
there are some rare chances here yet
OF course every creek in the country
has been stampeded ard staked, which
cuts one out from the chance of locat-
ing creek claim, but they are finding
it on the hill tops and in places where
no one would look for it before. French
bill was just discovered and staked this
spring, and some of the richest claims
III the country are right on top of the
hill. The worst thing is the terribly op-
pressive Canadian laws and the over
bearing police. They are fleeclng and
robbing the miners at every turn with
their royalties and licenses and fees.
The miners are getting worked up to
such pitch of indignation that every
body is expecting riot to break out at
any time. This is not strictly my OBJ
servation, but it appears TO be the senti
ment of the camp. But very few of
the claims are being worked, and Will
not be worked this winter, except mere
ly enough to represent them as they say
that none but the richest can be worked
at profit under the present grasping
and usurping Canadian laws or rules.
That with the royalties and fees and all
the miners license, wood, water and
moss license, etc, the profit is all gone.
Every body is hoping for a speedy
change in the laws to give them fair
chance. Well | am going to stay here
aud learn the country ahd try and get
claim. The majority of the people
who came in this spring are getting out
as fast as possible. They are selling
their outfits very cheap and are drifting
on down toward st. Michaers. think
it will be better for those who stay here
after majority of the tenderfeet or the
cuckoos, as they call them here, clear
out. | will go over to the city this af-
ternoon where L expect to get some
mail. The weather is warm but not
hot, delightful weather Rains little
now and then. Cool nights. Mosqui-
toes n, half sc bad as represented to

you are all well at home.
