BLOOMINGTON. 111.. Jan 14.—
Two bank robbers were so success-
ful in their masquerade as inspect-
‘ors that they kept J. F. Kelley. pre-
sident of the Farmers State Bani:
of Chenoa. busy helping them count
cash and check accounts three
hours yesterday until after all bank
employes had gone home and then
bound and gagged the executive and
drove away with $75,000 in cash
and bonds.
A third masquerader gave the
signal for the robbery. Dressed in
mechanic's clothing. he entered the
bank and reported to the psuedo in-
spectors that repairs to their auto-
mobile were completed. They im-
mediately fell upon Mr. Kelley.

But talk to them of the Old Hen
Club.
"Let e see." said Mr. Baxter.
“That was way back. 1t.was in4
May. 1885. that I opened my Own
store—thstfs forty years ago. For
13 yea‘rs before, that I was with
Stillson’s. . Later. Mr. Powell worked
for me ‘for about two years. and
then he, left me and went with Mr.
Slillson. '. ‘.
"But the Old’nen Club. There
was a body of men for you. All fine
citizens. The best men of the city.
and you couldn't beat them then of
today." . ‘ .
Why it was called the Old. Hen
Club no one known- Mr. Baxter
doesn't. and Mr. Golden doesn‘t. tut
there it was that the big men of the
booming little town used to meet.
Just before the caucuses. you would
have foundv them close roundwtife
stove in the back room of .Stillson's.
and before they left it would be
pretty well known who was going
to be in certain positions. and what
was what. , ‘ '
, The Club Masher;
Not a very safe weapon 'for. a
group. of men to handle you might
think. Perhaps not ‘so today. or
even then. except that these men
were the finest. the most high
minded. the most progressive in the
Host of them had held po-
litical office. Many officers of the
ch Wsr were in the club.
Then. when th caucuses were
over. back they uld flock. and
discuss things further. When Rich-
[v.1-
Mayor on the Democratic ticket.
and elected in a town with s. large
Republican normal majority by one
solitary» vote. the town wondered.
But the Old Hen Club didn't. It
knew beforehand—although it was
the closest ‘eiection Ndrwaik has
ever known. .
But politics didn‘t hold their at-
tention all the time. Any subject
under .the sun found many willing
and able to discuss it. Philosophy.
stafesmanship. wars. decal sffairs’
horses. railroads—4mg all found
able speakers. ' . -
This was before there was a club
in Norwsllt of any other kind. which
perhaps-explains the unusual con-
grunting Me. Themthere was the
late Mr. ... n himself. no mean
factor in the life of the club accord-
ing to Mr. Baxter. For years his
ready wit was afbyword in town.
and it was s. sh 'tongued man who
could best him. Neverrcaustic. but
quick as agtlash. always something
noverin his manner of looking at
things; he was a .unique figure. in
a unique organisation. in those pic-
turesque days. .
« Gm. Taylor
As» in all places. General Taylor
was a predominating figure. Quiet
of voice. large of vision. stately of
manner. be generally spent most of
his time in listening.
"But when he spoke," says R. H.
Golden. "it generally settled the
matter. At borough meeting. or at
the club. be generally said his piece.
and that's the way it went."
“Always interesting. and always
fascinating. General Taylor was a
real figure. the was generally the
last one to leave the store in the
evening after a lien Club session."
says Mr Baxter.
Colonel Cunningham. and Mr.
Rowan were also two able men in
the body. and ready .to take the
floor at any time with a quick wit
and real knowledge and-breadth of
mind that made them colorful fig- .
ures. ~, ~

3A Pleasant Infa- .
"It's been a pleasant life. and those
days were good. I'd like to live it
all over again. and if I had my way
I wouldn't live it differently.
“Perhaps they now seem curious
days. but they weren't so had. We
had rivalry. Yes. The boys from
uptown used to fight the boys from
downtown after theypcrossed the line .
between the two. But. 1 don't'think.
all in all. the present times are any
pleassnter.
“Of course the business life of my
brother and myself was so pleasant
that we never needed any other‘re-
taxation. Our business was our play.
too. We have been successful—yes
I think I can say that. and we al-
ways tried to please. The salesmen
used to call our store the. place
where quality counted. I believe it
was. and 1 am‘ mighty glad to see
someone like\ the Stillson-Powell
store take it over. I would rather.
have them than anyone else. and it
is a great comfort to know they will
follow us.“ “’0 might have made a
better bargain with other people. but
I do believe there is some sentiment
in business—that is. when you have
been in business 40 years."
The present location of the Still—
son-Poweli store will be' torn ‘down.
This building stands on the site of
the old Cbicbester be e. which
faced \Vashington stree . with a
lawn. The present blinding was
erected by the Chichestcrs about 60
years ago. and transferred later to
General Taylor.‘ lie in turn sold it
to the present owner Samuel Roodner
This building was the last on the:
block in the days of the Old Hen
Club. with the exception of the stores
of A. Dikermsn. a‘dry goods met-ch-
ant. and Alfred Knapp. a grocer.
In the summer time the Old Hen
Club left the rear room. and its
meeting place was in the front of
the store. where the men of that
generation who helped make Nah
walk. out on rude packing boxes. and
gravely settled the aflsirs of the
town. '
Gone Is the Old Club.'
In time the Old Ken Club vanish-
cd. It's place was practically taken
by the»Gsnder Club.,whlch met in
the old drill hall where the Jaeoby
store now‘stands. This in turn was
lost as the days named. and Nor-
