When to Go Home.

From the Bluffton, Ind, Banner:
when tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have reformed,
go home and let your family get ac-
quainted with the fact. When YOU want
to show yourself at your best go home
and do the act there. When YOU feel
like being extra liberal go home and
practice on your wife and children first.
When you want to shine with extra
brilliancy go home and light up the
whole household" To which we would
add, when you have bad cold go home
and take Chamberlain's Cough Rem

the object robbery, is the theory Of
the police. after Investigating the
tragic death of Mrs. Elizabeth Longen-
bach, whose charred body was found in
her apartments in this city.
1t is understood that someone claim
ing some degree of knowledge of the
alleged crime first apprised Police Ma
tron Thurston, and that she communi-
Gated with the police, but on this point
the matron is non committal.
The features of the tragedy which
dovetail into a net of circumstantial
evidence are:
Mrs. Longenbaeh withdrew $500 from
safety deposit vault in one of the
banks, Saturday, and put the money
in black, leather wallet.
Altho most of the articles in her
room were unchanged by the flames,
this wallet is missing and there is no
trace of the $500.
First news Of the tragedy reached
the police thru man telephoning to
the station, who did not give his name
and who abruptly hung up the re-
ceiver.
Altho the woman must have SUI
fered terribly, no cutlery was heard
by others in the Bolton block.
The flames We're kept confined to the
body of the woman and the floor inn
mediately surrounding the corpse.
The theory which is today urged
upon the police is that Mrs. Longen-
bach was choked into insensibility by
some man who knew she had taken the
money from the bank, and that he
then poured oil over her and applied
the match. to hide the crime.
AS told in yesterdays dispatches, the
dead woman suffered extreme privation
in order to hoard money enough to
keep her pretty daughter Elizabeth in
Boston school, where she is studying
medicine.
The remains are so badly charred
it is impossible to tell whether any
violence was inflicted.
