are believed to have come to this city
and then made their escape by train.
Two horses and buggies which were
stolen from J. j. Lee, Lotus. Ind. early
today were found in South Richmond
and the authorities have every rea.
son to believe that tho outfits were
stolen by the yeggmen. The authori-
ties have clue which may lead to the
arrest of the men.
The attempt on the postomce safe
was unsuccessful The drilling had
been completed when the yeEgmen
were evidently frightened away. for
they left few tools. but had not fxed
the charge. The postal authorities did
not discover that an attempt had been
made on the safe until this morning.
The stolen outfits were found in q
barn near the stolie storage house
| and In the creek bottom this morning
The two horses and the best buggy
were placed in the barn while the othe,
| buggy was run down the hill into ths
creek. The horses were old and show
ed the effects OF q hard drive. Mr.
Lee returned with his property thii
afternoon. He said that he discovered
the animals had been stolen about
O'Clock this morning. The local au

VETS IN BAD SHAPE
1t Appears Jackson Township
Liberals Are Doomed to
be Defeated.
HINTS OF FRAUD HEARD

Although no prediction has been
made by the liberals of jackson town
ship as to their success in challenging
signatures to the blanket remonstrance
petition, 1t was stated by representa-
tive Of the temperance organization
that SO far as could be ascertained the
"wets" had opportunity to have but one
name removed. The signature was
that of q minor.
A former county Official who kept
out of the fight, after looking over the
the petition said that he believed
there was large number of names
which the liberals might successfully
remove. Some of these signatures
were signers who had not lived in
Cambridge City for years. He cited an
other instance of the name of a man
who has been in a semi-comatose con
dition for several weeks. This man is
reported to be a signer.
The petition will be acted on by thu
county commissioners on June Is. Tht
liberals have announced that unles.
they believe they can successfully
challenge enough names to reduce thu
number of signatures to less than ma
jority, they will make no further effor'
to defeat the petition.

In earnest. but not under government
supervision. A great national conven-
ton would be held and a general cam
paign to uplift the farmer. whether he
wanted to be uplifted or not, would be
inaugurated. There was almost a
tinge of bitterness in the professors
references to the fact that President
Taft had seemingly taken no interest
in this, one of the Roosevelt policies,
and that congress had dissolved the
commission shortly after 7. r. went
out Of Office. But all this would be
changed now that the colonel was back
in the United States. In an address at
Stony Brook. N. Y, Professor Bailey
recently said:
"That the nation has heard little or
nothing about the country life move
ment since President Taft took Office
does not signify that interest in It is
lapsing or that Colonel Roosevelt
made a mistake in appointing the CON-
mission.
president Taft has not taken any
interest in it. so that its future i'm
petus will probably be separate from
the official government at Washing
ton. 1t will take form, like the con-
servation movement, in a big national
convention, and l hope conditions will
be ripe to hold the convention soon
after the Pinchot convention at St.
Paul in September

James b. Reynolds. another member
OF the board. is still abroad and will
make an additional report to Mr.. Taft
on his return. All this activity is re-
garded as significant. and it Is pre-
sumed that these hurried investiga-
tons mean that the president will
make recommendations for further
tariff revision to the short session and
that he may outline what these recon-.
mendations will be in his speeches dur
