When the car failed to stop on the far side of the street, both men started to run for It. Baxter missed his footing and was thrown to the pavement. Pedestrians rushed to the fallen man and he was carried into Baur*s drug store, where Drs. W. F. Willien «Lnd M. C. McBride administered first aid treatment before the ambulance arrived.

Young Rockville Boy Is In St. Anthony's Hospital. By Special Correspondent.

ROCKVILrLE, Ind., Sept. 9.—Dewald, young son of Waldo Nevins, is in St. Anthony's hospital, Terre Haute, where he was taken after an accident resulting in a wounded hand from a revolver discharge. Dewald was in play with his little brother at their grandfather's at Rough and Ready, where the mishap occurred. An x-ray examination showed a wad in the flesh of the hand, the cartridge presumably being a blank. The wad was removed and the lad is progressing nicely.

THIN BLOOD AND DYSPEPSIA

Thin-blooded people generally have stomach trouble. They seldom recognize the fact that thin blood is the cause of the indigestion but it is.

Tbin blood is one of the most common causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestion at once. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this condition nothing will more quickly restore appetite, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, making it rich and red, and the enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, stimulates the tired muscles and awakens to normal activity the glands that supply the digestive fluids. The first sign of returning health is an improved appetite and soon the effect of these tonic pills is evident throughout the system. You find that what you eat does not distress you and that you are strong and vigorous instead of irritable and listless. You are now on the road to health and care in the diet is all that you need.

BY REVERSES OF WAR

Writer Says Nation Is Bankrupt, Army Mutinous, and Thousands of Business Hen Ruined.

LONDON, Sept. 9.—4:42 a. m—The correspondent of the Daily Mail in Milan, who has lately left Vienna, draws a gloomy picture of that empire. He says: "Panic rules In Austria. The great unweildly and bankrupt empire, dragged reluctantly at the heels of Germany, is in a state of desperate muddle and fear. Her armies, half hearted at first and now openly mutinous, are beaten back at every point by the Russians. "The policy of mixing in each company men of the different races which compose the empire has had a disastrous result. The men were driven into trains at the point of the bayonet and scores were shot by their officers to terrorize their fellows into obedience. "While the Russian avalanche drives on, Vienna and Trieste are cowering in abject fear. Austria is bankrupt, trade at a standstill and thousands of business men are ruined by a war which they hate. "While the harvest remains ungathered, Vienna is menaced by a famine, and prices are steadily rising. In resentment the popular anger has turned against the foreigner and Serbs have been torn to pieces in the street. Two Russian newspaper correspondents were shot by the police and five foreign Journalists are in prison. "In utter fear the government has beglin to fortify Vienna and arrangements have been made to flood large tracts of low lying land around the city. Riots have occurred in manytowns and to the terrors of Cossack and the Serb will be added those of revolution and famine."

PROTESTS PURCHASE

Asks County Counoil to Appropriate No Funds for Buying of New Poor Farm Site.

Directors of the Chamber of Commerce in a letter to the county council have expressed opposition to the proposed purchase of the IJams farm near Allendale for a poor farm, setting forth their reasons for the opposition. The action was taken at the meeting of the directors Monday afternoon, when W. L. Sparks, Sam Lane and Sam Royse, of the good roads committee, and A. C. Keifer and S. W. Snively were named as delegates to the American roads congress, to be held in Atlanta, Ga., November 9 to 14.

The local membership in the Indiana Federated Commercial clubs was continued and plans for a membership meeting on the night of October 15, when the federation" will meet In Terre Haute, were announced. Reports showed substantial gains, both in membership and finances during the summer months. The letter to the county council follows:

Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 8, 1914. To the Members of the County Council of Vigo County, Indiana.

Gentlemen:—At a meeting of the board of directors of Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce held at its place of business on Tuesday, September 8th, 1914, the secretary was Instructed to advise you of action taken by the board in regard to proposed purchase for poor farm purposes of 475 acres of land immediately adjoining the beautiful suburb known as Allendale on South Seventh street. The board hopes the purchase will not be made for these, among other, reasons:

First—The tract—475 acres—Is entirely too large for the purpose. No able bodied men are, save in very exceptional cases, or shold be, permitted to become charges on the county at the poor home after the suspension of out-of-door work in the late fall, or be allowed to remain at the poor home in the early spring after the resumption of out-of-door work. The result is that during the farming season tne inmates are confined almost entirely to women and children, to those who are aged, crippled, sick, crazy or feebleminded and unable to cultivate the land. As a matter of fact the present poor farm, of only 135 acres, Is now and has always been farmed in large part by hiring men to do the work.

Second—The broken character of the 475 acre tract Is such that it is not, in the opinion of those well informed, worth the price asked for farming purposes. As to stock raising it Ts not profitable in this section because of th*. high selling value of grain and hay. Why should the county undertake it?

Third—The tract is so near the c'ty and so accessible to the lnterurban that the nuisance of having the Inmate^ come to town to mooch their acquaintances and return drunk to the county home may be continued.

Fourth—It is. alongside of Allendale and would for many reasons seriously damage it. All cities need, and most cities have, large suburban areas free from factories, mines and the congestion of the town where it is possible for the men of ordinary means to buy an acre or two at less than the cost of a city lot. Such a start has been ma^e at Allendale. The present growth of South Seventh street, due to the grent improvement of the J. W. Davis Greenhouse company and to others, make it quite probable this street may -oon be lined with houses all the way to Allendale and beyond. A suburb like this is a great drawing card for l'erro Haute. It may often be a determining factor in inducing manufacturers to remove their plants and their famlles to Terre Haute.

Fifth—In-as-much as there are in the countv many hundred of thousands of acres of Isolated land better suited for the location of a poor farm and where only one or two homes would be damaged by its location near, why locate the farm in what should be and will be if not Interfered with a populous residental quarter?

Sixth—In view of the present burdensome taxes, in civil and school cities, also in state, township and county, and the certainty of an increase next year and to the fact that the county council has had but a few days to consider tnis big purchase and what it entail*, the directors of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce suggest the matter b. (Inferred at this time.

Very truly'yours.

HALED BEFORE COURT

Interrupted Session With Loud Call for "Louie" Krazan, But Is Permitted to Get License.

There was something of a sensation in the Superior Court Wednesday morning. Court was In session and Judge Cox was acting on some motions for changes of venue, when the door leading to the main hall opened and a stentorian voice yelled out, "Is Louie Kruzan here?"

The judge paused In astonishment, the attorneys rubbered towards the door to see what was the matter, and Deputy Clerk Louis Kruzan hurried out into the hall on the heels of the bailiff, whom Judge Cox sent out to bring before him the disturber of iAie dignity of his court. When the bailiff returned with the disturber It was discovered to be Walter G. Whltaker, a young farmer of Honey Creek township, who was looking for his friend, Kruzan, who also lives in Honey Creek, to get him to make out his marriage license. The young man was somewhat scared when .he learned that he was up for contempt of court, but when Kruzan explained the matter to the court Whltaker was permitted to depart In peace on his matrimonial expedition. Later he secured a license to wed Miss Lillian Eaton, of Honey Creek township, and Justice James P. Madigan was called to the court house
