on the grocer who says he
has coffee better than Blanke's.
He only wishes he had such
coffee. Remember this-all I
claim for Blanke's Coffee is
that it is at least just as good
as any other brand on earth.
Many of my customers openly
say it is the best. Probably
they are right. But this is a
big world, and there are lots of
geod things in it. Still there
isn't a better coffee than
Blanke's anywhere = north,
south, east or west My way
of selling this coffee is to give
people their money back if
they don't like it. The price
is 90 1-2 cents per pound.

No Cut Prices
at My Grocery

I don't believe in cut prices.
Every grocer is in business to
make money. When a man
begins to cut prices, he begins
to cut down the quality of his
stock. That is the only way
he can cut prices and make
money at the same time.
But [ do welcome honest
competition. Nobody in Key
tesville sells the better grades
of groceries cheaper than I do.
I have to make a little profit,
and a little profit is all l want.
The next time you buy Can.
dy try the kind Blanke & Bro.
makes. See if it isn't as good
as any you ever bought.

DR.. vANDEvENFER CAPTURED.
The Ring Leader in the Rodgers Robbery
Is Now in Jail--Admlts the Rob-
berry, But Refuses to Tell
Where the Money Is.

Where the Money Is.
Bond Fixed at Five Thousand Dollars.
DR.. ]. S. Vandeventer of SIX miles
northeast of Salisbury, who conceived,
| planned and helped to execute the
robbery of John Rodgers, from whom
nearly, So 900 was stolen the night of
the 10Th of last mouth, arrived at
Salisbury on the midnight, east bound
Wabash train week ago last Saturday
night in very much intoxicated con-
dition. The eagle optics of Night
Operator Burckhartt fell upon Van
deventer, and he was half dragged
into the Office at the depot and
kept under surveillance by Mr.. Burck-
hartt and negro until Constable L.
A. Embree, who was telegraphed for,
could reach Salisbury and take Van
deventer in charge.
The prisoner was brought to Key
tesville Sunday morning, July I, by
Mr.. Embree and Wabash Detective
Kemp and kept under guard in a
private room at the Brown house dur
ing the day. but was turned over 60
Sheriff J. R. Dempsey and lodged in
ljail late in the evening.
During the day the willy doctor was
subjected to numerous sweatings, and
finally admitted his connection with
the robbery, but has not yet told what
became of the money he got.
We are reliably informed that Mr..
Rodgers says the money he had stolen
was in three different envelopes, with
the exception of the So in silver taken
from his trousers pockets.
Zoe and Arthur McSparren, Vande-
venter's acconlplices in the crime.
say however, that they only saw two
sIOpes after the grips containing
the money were cut open, and assert
that if there was a third envelope
Vandeventer must have swiped it.
This version of the matter is verified
by the claim of Rodgers that So o76
was in the three envelopes, while the
amount of money recovered from Joe
and Arthur McSparren was only
$582 and $552, respectively.
At the time of his arrest Vandeven-
ter had just 80 cts in money on his
person.
Vandeventer says the last thing he
remembers prior to his arrest was
purchasing a ticket at Kansas City for
Salisbury.
He first seemed to have become
imbued with the idea that the best
way to extricate himself from his
trouble was to play the insanity role,
and he acted his part fairly well for a
time, but rather overdid it.
When taken before Justice ]. M.
DeMoss of Keytesville last Thursday
the doctor waived formal arraignment
and pleaded not guilty, or rather
Justice DeMoss did so for him. His
bond was placed at $1,000 for his ap
pearance before the next grand jury,
but he could not give the required
bail and was escorted back to Hotel
de Dempsey.
The Sunday following his arrest
Vandeventer was very uneasy and ex-
pressed frequent fears that mob
would come after him that night. No
mob has yet materialized, but it
might be that such a dire measure
may be resorted to unless he divulges
the hiding place of "his portion" of
Mr.. Rodgers filthy lucre.

Divorce Suits Galore.

/
Nine divorce suits have been
filed in the Office of Circuit Clerk
Z. T. Lamkin, eight of which are
docketed for the September term at
Salisbury and one for the November
term at Keytesville. All but the fol-
lowing three have already been pub
lished in the COURIER:
GRoTJAN VS.. GRoTJAN.
Cora Grotan of near Westville asks
the court for legal separation from
her husband, Willard Grotjan, on the
grounds of cruel treatment, habitual
drunkenness for more than year and
final abandonment March IS, 1900.
According to plaintiffs petition she
and the defendant were married In
Chatiton county May 22, 1895. As
the plaintiff is informed and believes
the defendant is now resident of the
state of Illinois.
VANSICKLE VS.. VANSICKLE.
Ada A. Vansickle of near Eccles
says that she was lawfully married to
Geo. w. Vansickle in Charlton county
March 4, 1894, and that although she
treated him with kindness and af5ec-
ton and discharged all of her duties
as the wife of defendant, he, Just
nine days after their marriage. took
her to the home of Clyde Smith and
left her there, and that she has not
seen or communicated with defendant
since the 9Th of March. 1894, and
that he has failed to provide anything
FOR her support. Wherefore, by
reason of said abandonment and non-
support, the plaintiff asks to be di-
vorced from the bonds of matrimony
contracted with. defendant; that she be
restored to her the name of Mary A
Shatto, the cognomen she bore be-
fore she married defendant, and that
she be given all other proper relief.
HoLLINGswoRTH VS.. HoLLINGswoRTH.
Ollie n. HoIlingsworth of near.
Mike relates this story of conjugal
infelicity followed by her prayer for
divorce from her husband, Marcus ].
Hollingsworth: The plaintiff and the
defendant were married in Wayne
county, Ind, August II, 1884, and
continued to live together until some
time in April, 1898. and for a
long time prior to the last-named date
defendant was cross and abusive to
plaintiff and for almost a year prior
thereto failed to provide for her sup
port. For these reasons plaintiff left
defendant and has remained away
from him ever since, he having con-
tinued to make mo provisions for
her support. The plaintiff says that
defendant is now in Wayne county,
Ind, and that she (the plaintifO has
lived in Charlton county since Octo-
Der, 1898. A divorce is, therefore,
asked for by plaintiff, also such other
and further orders as the court may
deem just and proper.

Nola Hayes and Andrew Brown,

arrest was given in the COURIER three
weeks ago on the charge of murder
ing Harry Robinson, COL, at Bruins
wick, and then placing his body on
the railroad track where it was after.
ward run over by train, had their
preliminary trial before Justice Chas.
E. Finch of Brunswick Monday, July
9, and were discharged, there not
being sufficient evidence to warrant
their being held for the grand jury.
1t will be remembered that Harry
Robinson was last seen alive in an IN
toxicated condition, going east down
the railroad track, and that his dead
body was found between I and q
O'Clock the next morning lying beside
the track, near the tile factory, with a
leg and arm cut off, death having re.
suited from hemorrhage of the sever.
ed members. The coroner's jury de.
cided that death was caused by
Robinson's having been run over by a
train, and it was supposed that he had
lain down on the track while drunk
and dropped off to sleep. There was
some suspicion of foul play which
grew IN volume until the dead mans
body was exhumed for further exami-
nation, but no evidences of violence,
that would have produced death, were
found outside of the injuries received
in being run over by a train. Some
how or other the report gained cur
rency that Robinson had been stabbed
to death prior to the placing of his
body on the railroad track, but a
thorough examination of his body
after it was exhumed proved the re-
port to be a canard.
