Failed in Effort to Sc
cure VaIuabIeS.
ENTERED GIPE'S STORE.
VALUABLE CASH REGISTER WAS
CARRIED OUT AND BROKEN
THE PosToFFIcE WAS NOT DIS
TURBED.

An unknown robber Tuesday even
ing boldly broke into the grocery
store of George F. Gipe at East Ger
mantown, which is also the village
postoffice, carried off the cash reg
lister, which contained nothing but
some worthless papers, abandoned it
in an alley in the rear of the store
and then left for parts unknown, no
doubt highly disgusted because of his
failure to secure any loot.
Mr. Gipe states that when he open
ed the store he first noticed the cash
register was missing and he then dis
covered that some thief had paid a
nocturnal visit This discovery was
made by the condition of one of the
windows opening into the alley at
the rear of the store. The shutter
had been broken and the glass smash
ed to permit the night prowler en-
trance and exit.
Mr.. Gipe went into the alley and
there found his valuable cash regis
ter smashed with the drawer. open.
Mr.. Gipe states that the thief might
have spared himself the trouble of
money drawer was not locked. Every
evening, Mr.. Gipe states, he takes
the receipts of the store and the post
Office and places them home. Conse-
uuently when the unknown crook ap-
propriated the cash register it was
barren of cash.
Mr.. Gipe states that the thief did
not modest anything in the store but
the cash register and that he made no
effort to loot the postoffice depart
ment. The county authorities are
hoping that the robbery at the Gipe
store does not mean another epide-
mic of store and postoffice breaking

postoffices were looted and two years
ago the epidemic was at fever heat.

Aged Man Who Committed
Suicide in City Jail Not
Yet Identified.
HE TOLD MANY STORIES.

WHILE HERE

Tuesday evening Sergeant RetzoId
received a communication from the
commandant at the Marion Soldiers
Home stating that Frank C. Taylor,
the prisoner who committed suicide
at the city Jail Monday evening, was
not a member of the home The COM
munication stated that there IS an in

Taylor's body is being held at the

thentic information concerning his

Told Many stories.
Taylor was without doubt the mos5
monumental prevaricator that the To-
cal police ever had dealings with. So
far as known his every action and
statement made while in Richmond
were false. While here he posed as
an old soldier, pure food inspector
and newspaper reporter After his
arrest Monday Officer Vogelsong ask
ed Taylor where his home was The
man promptly stated that he was .sn
inmate of the Marion soldiers home.
This, his last statement, was no
doubt also false
During the time Taylor spent in
Richmond he was on a continuous
spree and it is thought the man was
also mentally unbalanced. He cory
mitted suicide beyond a doubt while
suffering remorse superinduced by his
hard drinking.

Rural mail carriers from the Richs

first pay under the increase granted
them by the last session of congress.
All carriers wear the smile that is re-
puted to be scrubbrusn proof and this
very same cheerful smile only reflected
the good feeling which they truly en-
joyed. Visions of their yearly -surs
plus going for livery hire. wagon res
pair and other necessaries are now far
remote. and the carriers can each year
expect TO save "A portion OF their wages

been well nigh impossible since the ru-

ago The rural carriers and the sal-
ary they will receive follow:

PONY AND CART CONTEST
FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS
A Handsome Outfit Valued at $500 Is Offered
By the Palladium and Sun-TeIegrdm
To Interest the Younger
OF Our Readers

The Palladium and Sun-Telegram
has found a sure cure for summer
dullness, one of the most prevalent
diseases with which Richmond and
vicinity is afflicted during the hot
months. Just at this particular time
of the year when dog days are upon
us and everyone is preparing to set
tie down to a dull sort of lassitude,
the Palladium and Sun-Teiegram is
going to awaken you TO new life by a
Pony and Cart contest for boys and
girls. We have conducted two sue
cessful contests during the past year
and a half, but they have been such
that only older people could enter.
We feel that we have neglected the
little ones and we are going to make
up for that neglect by offering every
boy or girl in Richmond and vicinity
a chance to compete for a fine Shet-
land pony and cart. The value of the
outfit is $500, and we have purchased
it of the Michigan Buggy company,
noted throughout the country for the
fine childrens' outfits which they turn
out. This contest is for children on
ly. No one over sixteen years of age
can compete.
New Subscribers Only.
The contest is for new subscribers
only. For every subscriber a boy or
girl can get to contract to take the
Palladium and Sun-Telegram six
500 votes will be awarded. If
the subscriber contracts to take the
paper one year 1900 votes will be aw-

All persons who have had the priv

of Frank DuMond at the office of Supt.
T. A. Mott, since the recent art exhib-

of canvas. The painting was purchas-
ed by the art association. DuMond hav-
ing agreed to the price offered and it
is said that no more beautiful canvas
could have been added to the group al
ready prchased by the association.
The excellence of the vivid color makes
a strong contrast to the other pictures
in the Richmond associations collec-

which you are now engaged.
Suggestions for Consideration.
We respectively urge upon you the
advocacy of the following measures:
1. The establishment of an inter-
national conference or parliament to
meet at stated times, through which
recognized and authoritative code OF
international law may be developed.
2 A general arbitration treaty for
the settlement of International dispu-
tes.
3. Such changes in The Hague
Court as may be necessary to estab-
Iish a permanent judicial tribunal al
ways open for the adjudication of any
case that may come before it.
A. The immunity of all unoffending
private property at sea in time of war.

arded. On rural routes the same ra-
ito will be observed with the further
stipulation that rural route subscrip-
tions must be paid in advance. Be
sides this there will appear in the
paper each day a coupon emitting the
boy or girl whose name is written on
it by the subscriber to one vote. In
this way it can be readily seen that
boys and girls will have no difficulty
in obtaining votes in large numbers
very easily. OF course every boy and
girl cannot win the Pony and Cart
but we do not expect you to work for
fled subscriber, the boy or girl who
solicited will receive 10 cents. For
every yearly verified subscriber 10
cents will be paid. In this way boys
and girls have an opportunity not on
ly of getting fine pony and cart out
fit, but also of making a handsome
little sum for vacation money.
VIII Publish Names.
We want every boy and girl in this
part of the country to take an interest
in this great contest and work to win.
Come down to the Palladium and Sun
Telegram office and let us explain the
proposition to you fully. AT the same
time you can get the blanks that en-
title you to solicit new subscribers
for their votes. In a day or so we
will publish the names of the entered

appear the number of votes each is
receiving. The contest will run from
