Publication notice from The Sun at 79 East Ohio Street Indianapolis outlines subscription prices outside the city and city carrier rates. It invites newsdealers, agents, and business communications to contact the editor and business manager.
In a Baltimore area tale a 24 year old heir learns a clause in his uncle Geoffrey's will could pass his property to Mrs Mapleson if he dies before 25. While visiting Anna Lennox, he fears the clause may be exploited as a cellar hidden passage entombs him and the housekeeper hints at danger tied to the uncle's estate.
A narrative describes a man’s descent into despair as he is held captive in a hidden wine cellar. After days of hunger and weakness he regains consciousness to flashing lights and voices. Anna suspects foul play, searches Beeches, and uncovers the cellar where he was confined. Mrs Mapleson vanishes.
A Leavenworth Republican editorial rebuts rumors of White Caps in Crawford County and denies any Black Caps organization. It calls on citizens to denounce violence, warns of retaliation if further whippings occur, and urges parents to shield children from immoral acts while pledging community vigilance.
A collection of humorous lines from multiple papers includes jokes on rents and housing, dating from Cain the pawn-broker, marriage-minded typists, art guarding glasses, wealthy outgo, and blunt social critique. Notable quips touch Shakespearean praise, black eyes as truth, and an alien in Canada with gold.
A fragmented 19th or early 20th century list describes tiger lily enamel pins, gold lace pins with spa sprays, a coiled serpent bracelet, an irregular pearl scarf pin, a three strand gold cable bracelet, silver rings in iron finish, an odd pencil case shaped like a French wire nail, a gold bracelet with daisy and diamond cluster, and a cor rapier hilt design, reflecting popular ornate jewelry motifs of the era.
An Indianapolis Gas Company urges customers to buy now at 20 percent off and to sign contracts that require continued supply at or below competitors’ prices even after termination.
