The most phenomenal story success of another genration, the “Hidden Hand,” of which fifteen millions copies were sold before the authoress died, reappears as a play, a new dramatization, written by a noted actor, Eugene Moore. This play will be seen at the Bosse opera house Wednesday, Oct. 6. It will be presented by Fred G. Conrad a well known manager, who has gathered a company of exceptional ability. Mr. Moore is a friend and co-worker of Mr. Conrad and the two have combined their resources to make their production of the “Hidden Hand” the best ever offered. M,r. Moore has avoided the vicious excesses of cheap melodramas and Mr. Conrad has furnished the proper kind of company and scenery. This new dramatization is in four acts. Capitola of course (remains the heroine. The part of Black Donald, the villain, has been strengthened, until it is one of the best roles of its kind in any play. The sunkissed hills and valleys of old Virginia are reproduced and the “folks" are seen living their natural, intense, happy lives.

GETS HIS PATENT George Wemhoff Secures Letters of Patent from the Government A COIN HOLDER It is to be Used on All Kinds of Rural Mail I Boxes i After a lapse of a year and three j months, George Wemhoff has redeived his letters of patent for a coin holder for rural mail boxes, the same being issued by the patent office of the government. The patent is good for sev. enteen years, and since its introduction has been highly recommended by rural route carriers everywhere, and I praised highly by many postal officials who have investigated the merits of i the patent. It is a small coinholder to be fastened to rural mail boxes of any kind, and enables the carriers to take money from the boxes without the sensation on a frosty morning of running the bare fingers along the bottom of an ron box, fishing for the lonely penny concealed somewhere thereabouts. Letters are already reaching Mr. Wemhoff from all kinds of mail box manufacturers and all kinds of other people, wanting a' monopoly upon his patent, and it is likely that within the next few weeks some one will buy the rights of manufacture and sale. It is a good thing, and the patentee stands a good show of making something good out of the invention. o DINNER AT ANDERSON & DOLCH RESTAURANT SUNDAY, OCT. 3.

HE LOST HIS VOICE (Continued from page 1.) been suffering from a slight cold for a few days and about two weeks ago with some other boys went out in the woods to gather hickory nuts. Suddenly Albert could not talk about a whisper and the companions noticing this took him home. It was supposed at first that his condition was due to the cold and the fact that he had j , been yelling in boy fashion but as the I trouble has not given way to the j treatment, his friends are somewhat. I worried. Dr. Keller who is attend- ' ing him says he thinks a few weeks 'of treatment will restore the boy's ■ voice. I . TO THE HOSPITAL Anson VanCampWas Taken to St. Joseph Hospital for Treatment IS BETTER TODAY Believed He Will Recover With a Few-Weeks of Careful Attention Anson Van Camp, the second ward councilman and well known business man, is now a patient at the St. Joseph hospital, where it is hoped a fewweeks' treatment will restore him to health, though it is not improbable that he may have to undergo a surgical operation. He has been ill for several weeks, and for two or three days past his condition was such that it was deemed best to take him to Fort Wayne .where he could have the advantages of a hospital. He is suffering from stomach, liver and bladder trouble and suffers considerable pain. The illness is a general breakdown and his recovery will likely be quite slow, though his physicians believe he will with careful treatment be able to resume his business duties after a few weeks. He was accompanied to the hospital by Dr. J. S. Coverdale, and while at that place is under the care of Dr. McOscar. Mr. Van Camp is one of the best known business men of the city and has a large circle of acquaintances over the county who hope he will be soon entirely recovered. A telephone message from Mrs. Van Camp this morning said that her husband had rested well during last night and seemed slightly improved today. —o—. ■ - - NOTICE Make gas contracts now.
