Confer went to Fort Wayne this morning to attend the democratic district meeting. A number of other local democrats will also attend the meetings which continue throughout the day and this evening. Rev. D. T. Stephenson, of Muncie, visited with friends nere today. His son, Ed. is now- a patient in the Methodist hospital at Indianapolis, recovering from an operation for appendicitis performed about a week ago. John Fisher, of the Fisher & Harris store, is at Peru today to attend the funeral of Pat Burk, who far many years was connected with the McCafrey store at Peru where Messrs. Fisher and Harris worked before coming here. Burk leaped from a train in Chicago a few days ago while being taken to a sanitarium, and sustained injuries from which he died within an hour. Antique Egyptian costumes, with gold bands encircling ihe bust, are just a few of the dazzling toillettes Mary Garden, the world-famous operatic star, wears in the filming ,»t “Thais” Goldwyn’s medium of introducing the celebrated diva in pictures which will be seen at the Rex theatre tonight Combining the continent for clothes was the singer’s prin cipal occupation abroad when not engaged al relief work among the wound ed in France before coming to America to begin "Thais.” That she has succeeded beyond even her wildest dreams will be amply attested when the public gets its first peep at the notable Goldwyn production. Bulloz, the noted couturier of Paris, made Miss Garden's sensational collection of stage gowns after she had informed him to spare no expense in fashioning the best obtainable. One of the wraps is of purple velvet with a Roman train and embroidered in gray beads. One of the sensational accessories to her evening toillette are the cothurns shoes copied from ’he old Roman an’d Greek statues with all the straps and steel nails. This antique footwear is of violet or black shade and is worn on bare feet. The recent murder of the prominent young society millionaire, Herbert Franklyn, has uncovered many unique sidelights on the victim’s character. It is known that Franklyn, since his return from the east, had become imbued with superstitions and exotic ideas. Telepathy seemed to be the subject of his greatest thought. Certain of the Japanese, and other Oriental peoples, he claimed, were able by concentration to send thought messages around the world and communicate with each other. Herbert Franklyn thought he_ could go on forever in his wild and selfish course. Women were playthings to him, and their happiness nothing. Tired of the pathetic and wistful little Cherry Blossom of Japan, he left her in a New York suburb to pine in sorrow and mourn in agony over the dead body of her babe.' But Kato, her beloved, hail exchanged a pledge with her in Japan, a pledge that she would send for him with a thought message. “If the time ever comes that you are in sorrow, let your spirit seek my spirit and I shall hear the call.” And Kato came. And Tokimasa came. It is the tragedy of women Ute world over, this tragedy of Cherry Blossom, but love triumphs in the end. Triangle players, producers and scenic artists have combied to make this play called “Her Amrtican Husband,” a masterpiece of the silent drama that will bring smites aUd tears Io millions. ’lt will he shown at the ‘Crystal theatre tonight.

Hoffman Family Denies Report That Son Has Been SENT TO PRISON Is Still at Camp Taylor— False Report Causes Unhappiness. Another false reort that may be a part of general propaganda afloat, it; to the effect that James Calvin Hoff man, son of James D. Hoffman, of St. ■Mary’s township, who left with the big contingent of sixty-three Adams Co. boys for Camp Taylor, Ky., in May. was sent to the federal prison for fitteen years for refusal to wear a uniform. This is vigorously denied by the young man's family, who every week have letters from him. He is 1 still at Camp Taylor and has been all the time. He has been in ill health 1 and is a patient at the hosIpital there. The false report that he refused to wear a uniform is ; preposterous, as the young man sent j home his civilian clothing, a thing j which is always done by soldiers in : anticipation of donning the uniform. J The report is one that has spread 1 persistently and is causing great un- J happiness to the young man's family, i Our Forefathers i Owed Their Robust Health To Tonics i Taken When The Vitality Was At Its Lowest Ebb.
