NIGHT CLERK
IN ANNUAL
GETAWAY

For the third time in the last three
years and for the second time in the
last two years the night clerk of the
Hotel Majestic vamoosed during the
night and took with him all of the cash
in sight and what other valuables he
could lay his hands on.
Night before last Tom Robinson, the
night clerk, left between 2:3O a. m.
and 1850 a. m. with SO in cash and a
large amount of cigars and tobacco.
John Glennon, the proprietor of the ho-
tel. did not notify the police. He
declared that past experience has shown
him that this is useless.
1t has got so that the first question
Glennon asks when he comes down in
the morning is, What time did the
night man leave and how much money
did he take
He then checks up and makes an in
ventory of the stock on hand. The
man who skipped out yesterday was
sent to Glennon by an employment
agency. and it is believed that he can
be located.

Score of Families Duped by
Tricks of Clever Crook
Offers Bogus Premiums as
Bait to Catch the Un-
wary.

The successful methods Of a swindler.
who represented himself to be a solicit
tor, were revealed by VIM. Dutton, a
carpenter living at SAT Gostlin street.
Mr.. Dutton admits that he was a vic
tim but not alone, for he claims to
know of over twenty families who
were also taken in by the willy agent.
According to Dutton a well dressed
man of middle age presented himself
al his home one day in the late spring.
He explained his mission which was to
give the public something for less than
it was worth. Having the universal
feminine desire for premiums Mrs. Dut-
ton accepted the offer which was as fol-
lows:
BY paying fifty cents each week she
was to receive five coupons per month
and after having accumulated these to
the amount of SIS she would be pre-
sented with $35 premium to be chosen
from the stock of a mail order house
in Chicago.
The premium obtained, the remain
ing debt was to be paid at the rate of
fifty cents a week.
From the handsomely printed cata-
logue the buttons selected a piece OF
furniture that they intended to possess
After the last coupon was delivered
Mr.. Dutton laid off from work and So
logue, only to be informed that the
firm did no coupon business and the
ones he possessed were worthless.

It now looks as if Attorney Hugh E.

from Lake and Porter counties on Sep

who was the ony formidable rival ar
rayed against Corbett is out of the

Knots of Gary says that he will sup

indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 25.-It IS be-
lieved that the campaign in Indiana
this year will be conducted along the
most economical lines that have been
followed in any campaign in this state
in many years. From present pros
poets neither party is going to be bur-
dened with money and it will be neces-
sary for them to skinp a little If they
get through. Thus far neither party
has spent much money, for the very
good reason that they have not had
much money 10 spend The democrats,
however, have had the best of it up to
this time. 1t is believed that they have
had more money to spend than the re-
publicans have had.
1t takes a pile of money to run a
campaign, and this money must come
from somewhere. 1t is expensive to
even take care of the preliminaries OF
campaign. For instance it cost the
republican state committee about s1.100
to publish its campaign book. This is
a necessity in each campaign. for the
book is placed in the hands of speak
ers and all campaign officials. and from
