Few novels have been more widely read in the last forty years than St. Elmo, a dramatization of which is to be presented at the Ellis theatre, this evening. When the author, Mrs. Augusta Evans-Wilson, died a few months ago, she left an estate of $600,000. Over 75 per cent of this, it is said, represented her royalties on St. Elmo. Mrs. Wilson was constantly besieged with offers to permit the book to be made into a stage story, but only once, it is understood, was she persuaded to allow a pl ay from it to be presented. This was some years ago and exercising a woman’s privelege, she changed her mind and the play was withdrawn. Now it has been made into what sterling critics call an excellent play, bringing into life the best situations and most thrilling incidents of the hovel. The dramatization is by Miss Grace Hayward, whose literary bent has kept pace with her bright stage career. That it will please a great mass of theatregoers is indicated by the cordial reception given, it in several cities in which it has been presented.

See our new line of rugs and lace curtains. They are the largest and finest lines ever shown in this city. ROWLES & PARKER.

Rensselaer People Should Not Walt Until It Is Too Late. The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The 1 slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright’s disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint. If you suffer from backache, headaches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. Help the at once. Doan’s Kidney Pills are especially for kidney disorders—they cure where others fall. Over one hundred thousand people have recommended them. Here is one of many cases in this vicinity.

Mrs. Chas. Livingston, 1026 Miami avenue, Logansport, Ind., says: “I have ho hesitation in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them several years ago for backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and they benefited me greatly. I publicly endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills at that time and now still hold the same high opinion of them.** For sale by all dealers. Price 50c. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other.

FIELD EXAMINERS REPORT FRED KARCH HAS SHORTAGE.

Investigation of 1 Walker Township Trustee’s Books Show Apparent Discrepancels In Accounts.

Fred Karch.. trustee of Walker township, this county, is alleged to be short $78189 by Field Examiners W. S. Salmon and J. G. Davis, who have been examining the books and ac counts of the township trustees of Jasper county under the direction of the state accounting board. It has been known for some time that the examiners have been giving considerable attention to the affairs of this trustee, who has been called before the board on several occasions. The examiners filed their report with the state accounting board last Friday and the copy sent to the state headquarters has been made public, but the examiners do not feel themselves at liberty to show the report they have on hand.

The examiners state that Karch’s accounts 'are “peculiar to say the least” and point out a number of things that look irregular whether they prove serious or not. The most important of these is an apparent shortage of $781.89, which is the amount that Karch shows on his books and in his report more’ than he has depositee in the bank.

This shortage they allage is due to the trustee having drawn money from the bank for himself on various occasions and for which vouchers are not produced. Probably . Karch should have a credit against this shortage of S3OO, the amount of his service account for 1909 and for which no voucher was found with which he might be credited.

The report says that there is no evidence d extravagance in the ennduct of the business of the trustee but some of the methods are regarded as doubtful and several apparent irregularities are pointed out. The report says that in his annual financial statement of receipts and disbursements made at the close of business Dec. 31, 1907, he showed a cash balance on hand in the Bank of Wheatfield ’of $3,181.99, whereas he had no balance, but instead had an overdraft of $149.55. Shortly after the report was made out and approved by his advisory board, however, he deposited $3,225. Apparently Mr. Karch had drawn his December money from the county auditor and charged himself with it in his report, but had not placed the money in the bank until after the report was made. In another case, Karch had drawn a warrant for SSO in favor of H. J. Heinrichs, a member of the board of advisers, for bridge lumber and the voucher which had originally been made out for SSO had been raised to $l5O. Karch claims that this was raised because after he had paid Heinrichs the SSO, he met him on the road one day and paid him another SIOO and then raised the voucher, to make his receipts right. Another thing that is said to be “peculiar" is the fact that Mr. Karch destroyed or misplaced his stub books and can produce the vouchers for all expenditures except for the money he himself has drawn.. And another thing is that the contract with h‘S daughter Minnie as school teacher, has been torn out of his contract book. The examiners wanted to examine this contract to see if the amount of money paid her was the amotfht called sci in the contract. Another thing mentioned in the report is that warrants had been drawn by Mr. March’s son, who signed thqjn as assistant trustee. Mr. Karch says that the son drew these with his knowledge and consent, simply .acting as his clerk.

Mr. Karch admits drawing vouchers for himself but was not of the opinion that- he had drawn in excess of what was coming to him for salary. He will make good the discrepancy, which after he gets his service credit ol 1300 will be 0nif1481.89. The examiners have gone back six years in their search in each township and have found no other trustee delinquent. It was found that a few trustees who had lost money in the McCoy bank had made it up by drawing warrants for themselves. It seems that this settlement was practically agreed to by taxpayers and while not altogether “regular,” as long as the taxpayers made no complaint the.field

CREAMERY FOR PARR IS NOW A CERTAINTY.

Organization Completed, $6,800 Stock Taken, Plans Drawn and Creamery to be Finished June Ist

The farmers near Parr have combined with the merchants of that town and subscribed for sufficient stock to build a creamery and butter making

plant Three Parr merchants and practically every farmer near Parr, subscribed for one share of stock, to which each is limited. The stock totals $6,800. Ground has been purchased for the creamery building and ice house and supply of ice purchased. The architectural plans of the building were made Saturday and its erection will be begun just as soon as the material can be placed on the ground. It is expected to have the creamery ready for business by July Ist?

The building will be 26x48 feet in dimensions and 14 feet high, with a receiving shed on the side. The machinery will be all modern and will include a pasteurizer. A firstclass butter maker will be employed and the product will be mainly shipped to Chicago, where there is always a demand for good butter. The officials of the concern have not been elected; .

The stockholders investigated the responsibility of the company with which they are dealing and found them 'to be just what the solicitors, Mr. Weston and his assistant, represented them to he. The company just put in a plant at LoWell to the entire satisfaction of the stockholders. Parr is always enterprising and is the center of about the best dairying

examiners will not make any. They _expect to complete their work in this county tonight. It is probable that their total bill for services in this county will be about S6OO, assessed against the various townships.

Bronchial Tubes All Stuffed Up.

“While a resident of Washington, D. C., I suffered continually and intensely with a bronchial trouble that was simply terrible to endure. I would have spdlls that I could hardly breathe, I would choke up, fill up in my throat and bronchial tubes, and the doctoring that I did and the remedies used were of no benefit to me whatever. I heard about Booth’s Hyomei being so beneficial in catarrhal and bronchial affections and procured an outfit. I received relief from the first by its use. I continued with it and received a cure. It Is about two years since I have suffered at all from my former trouble.—Mrs. R. L. Pannell, 404 N. Augusta Street, Staunton, Va., March 26, 1909. Hyomei is guaranteed by B. F. Fendig to cure catarrh, croup, bronchitis, coughs, colds and sore throat or money back. A complete Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) outfit costs SI.OO at druggists everywhere. This includes a hard rubber pocket inhaler and bottle of Hyomei; extra bottles Hyomei cost 50c. ■
