Has Anybody Seen Ober?

Will some one answer. as number of
persons Of this town and vicinity who had
left watches. clocks and jewelry with w.
G. Ober to be repaired. are on the anxious
bench. He has left the neighborhood
without giving any satisfactory reason
for not returning their property.
Some months ago Ober rented room
in the vacant Maryland House and ad-
vertised to repair watches. clocks. jewelry.
etc. He apparently got more work than
he could do. AT any rate his patrons all
experienced the same delay in getting
their work done. About two weeks ago
Ober left for Philadelphia, stating he was
going to the hospital. but just why pro-
perty in his hands belonging to others was
not returned or satisfactory explanation
given. is what is causing worry. and in
all probability an effort will be made to
locate the missing man as well as the
missing gold watches. etc.. that disap-
peared with him.

Lecture On Elements OF Social
Unrest.


The lecture of Charles Sickle on "Ele-
ments of Social Unrest" in the public hall
Tuesday evening was a wholesome SER
mon Of practical everyday religion that it
is seldom the privilege given one TO listen
to.
Mr.. Stelzle discussed the labor problem
in way that showed his thorough famil-
iarity with this many sided question. He
comes from the ranks himself, and hence
is admirably qualified to deliver his
message. which is an appeal for the
bctterment of mankind.
Hearing him talk it is easy to under
stand why il is said of him that he has
done more to bring the big. portentous
and vital labor issue before the churches
of America and more to present Christian
ity sympatheticaliy to the workingman
than any other living person or agency.
Theories about capital and labor interest
him less than actual methods of getting
the two forces to pull together for the
welfare of both.
