Edj wards court here today. Attorney Frank H. McCulloch, representing the Smith estate, open ■ ed the arguments by declaring thai Smith was entirely sane and that he j acted of his free accord when he i willed his $3,000,000 fortune to charitable institutions. I He will be followed by State Senator Thomas A.

Duff did not realize , that he had injured the other boy ' seriously and reached down, took his hand and shook it. , When young Morris did not come to, however, his friends became alarmed. They placed him In an automobile and drove about the city with him for some time, believing that they could resusciate him. Later, when he showed no signs of reviving, a physician was called. It was not at first believed that the young man was seriously hurt. . He was taken to the county hospital I but did not regain consciousness.

The series of conference which ‘ j Davis has been holding with western j democratic leaders continued today. 1 These conference have given him more encouragment than he expected I i

regarding his chances of carrying the I farming states. Davis got a “close up” of Cook county politics last night when he met 200 Chicago leaders, headed by George Brennan, at a reception in hi* honor. In a brief and informal talk, 1 Davis emphasized the need of organization to get out the vote on election day. He reminded th, l leade' that the democratic party did not “function automatically” and succes ; was impossible unless it was “brought to the polls.” A TALK WITH A DECATUR MAN Mr. Jackson Telia Something of Interest to Decatur Folks There's nothing more convincing than the statement of someone you know and have confidence in. That’s why this talk with Mr. Jackson of South First street, should be mighty helpful here in Decatur. Oliver Jackson, 445 South Ist St. says: “Sharp pains took me in the small of my back. When 1 stooped it w-as hard for me to straighten. Mornings my back was lame ami stiff and I felt tired and all worn out Spells of dizziness came on anil specks blurred my sight. The kid - ney secretions didn’t pass often enough either. Doan’s Pills from Smith, Yager & Falk’s drug store rid me of kidney trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Pills —the same that Mr. Jackson had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo. N. Y. DISAPPEARED Here’s a letter from Mr. Edgar Thomas, age 76, of Hemlock.

Staff Correspondent) Washington, Sept. 4—Scenting a break in republican congressional ranks, democrat leaders have decided ' to throw every available resource to ; the aid of their candidates for the ; senate and the house in the next few | weeks. The democrats believe that success of their presidential ticket will prove , a hollow victory unless they can conI trol congress. Many frankly are more confident they can break their repub- . lican majority, particularly in the ; senate than that they can elect John W. Davis. An army of speakers will , he unleashe d within a few days under direction of Senator A. A. Jones, chairman of the senatorial campaign committee. He believes republican can- ' didates for congress and the senate have found that their opposition to bonus and other recomniendationg ofj President Coolidge is embarrassing in' their race for re-election, and this .opens the way for the democrats. ; There are 17 republican seats 'n tlie senate to be filled in the November elections. Onlv 14 democrats aru» I .up for re-election and they mostly come from southern states where election of democrats is usually as-; sured. The democrats believe they have I an excellent chance of capturing the, seats of republicans in Colorado. Rhode Island. West Virginia, New ’ Jersey and Illinois. These five seats 1 i would give them control in the senate. I — I ALL OVER INDIANA (United Press Service) Gary Women can smoke on the streets here if they do it in a ladylike i manner J.layor R. O.
