GOSSIP.

Centerville, Ind, Dec. 1a.-It is re-
ported around town that Mrs. Carl
Bertsch has refused to take susie
nance since her arrest upon the charge
of sending obscene matter through the
mails to the late E. NJ. Cheesman
former resident of Richmond, who
died in Virginia. 1t is asserted that
Mrs. Bertsch has assumed an attitude
of remorse that is impenetrable and
that she feels so keenly her disgrace
she will not partake of the meals that
are prepared for her. The report is
unsubstantiated, but accepted by the
townspeople as a fact.
The topic has furnished a source of
villagers. Previous to the exposure
Of the affair by the Richmond news
papers, Mrs. Bertsch had been believ-
ed to be a very reputable woman. She
was prominent and her position as the
wife of one of the towns leading bus
mess men. gave her favor. She and
her husband reside in one of the most
modern residences in Centerville. and
it was presumed their domestic rela-
tons were of the pleasantest. That
Mrs. Bertsch should be implicated in
such an affair is regarded as highly
surprising.
1t is expected that when the case
comes TO trial the woman will enter a
plea of insanity as her excuse. 1t is

Although the Christmas shopping
season has been on in earnest for sew
eral days. local merchants have not
reported to the police nor have they
even suspicioned that practice of
shoplifting has been made by local cit
liens. In previous years the mer-
chants have always been more or less
troubled with such practices and the
culprits were largely women. However
as there are four more days of Christ
mas shopping. occasions may yet arise
for the police being called in to inyes-
tigafe the theft of some valuable or
va!uables.
In speaking about the matter To-
cal merchant stated that while he
could not state positively that any ar
ticles in his large apartment store had
