Until further notice the Princess theatre will be open only two nights a week—on Thursday, band concert night, and Saturday evening. The hot weather has cut down the attendance to such an extent that the management is not justified in giving a show every night. •

Jefferson City, Mo., July 9.—The right of Mrs. Florence Rawn to sue for insurance carried by her husband, the late Ira G. Rawn, of Chicago, in the Missouri courts, will be determined by the Supreme court in September.

Mrs. Rawn filed ten other suits against other companies in the circuit court at St. Louis, and the settlement of jurisdiction in the case will settle the matter in the others.

“A change to lower temperature attended with showers will overspread the middle Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the region of the great lakes Monday or Monday night and will be followed by generally fair weather and moderate temperature in those districts until the latter part of the week, when showers are again probable. Over the plains states, the Rocky mountain and plantation regions and the Pacific states the next several days will be generally fair with moderate temperature.”

Narrow Escape From Death In Automobile Wreck.

W. A. Davenport, deputy postmaster, had a narrow escape from death Saturday afternoon while returning from -Remington in an automobile. With his sister-in-law, Miss Ida Jacobson, and his' two children, aged 2 and 7 years, he went to Remington on a pleasure trip. Returning home about four o’clock, the car struck a rock about four miles this side of Remington and he lost control of the machine, with the result that the right front wheel was broken off, overturning the car and pinning the occupants underneath it. The children being small escaped injury, but Miss Jacobson and Mr. Davenport were not so fortunate. Miss Jacobson’s jaw bone was fractured and she received several bruises.

The seat of the car rested on the neck of Mr. Davenport, pinning him to the ground, and he would slowly have choked to death but for the prompt action of Mrs. Samuel Willits, near whose residence the accident took place. She was able to rescue all of them from the wreck and Mr. Willits brought them on to Rensse-

laer. Mr. Davenport received some internal injuries and bruises. Later in thS evening a wheel was placed on the car and it was brought to town under its bwn power. The

damage to the car will amount to S3O or S4O. Besides the wheel being demolished the glass wind shield was broken, axle bent, and the lamps broken.

Rural Carriers and Clerks in Indiana to Get Increase.

It has been announced at the Postoffice Department at Washington that a new scale of salaries, carrying large increases, will be issued shortly, affecting the rural letter carriers and postoffice clerks in Indiana. No definite statement was made as to the amounts of the increases or the names of those who will receive them, the last being at present in the hands of the postmaster general pending approval.

In the postoffice department appropriation bill passed at the last session of congress a clause was inserted setting the maximum salaries to be paid to a rural carrier at SI,OOO a year. In adopting the clause it was the intention of congress to raise the salaries of all rural carriers. Rumors to the effect that Postmaster General Hitchcock would (arbitrarily overrule the spirit of the law by increasing the salaries only of certain classes of the carriers have been numerous.

The announcement that the Indiana rural carriers will get an increase in salary tends to belie the reports, however. The new scale of wages will be announced during the present week, but all the increases will be effective from July 1.

This order, it is understood, applies only to all rural routes twenty-five miles or more in length. All the routes leading out of Rensselaer exceed that distance, which will mean on increase from S9OO to SI,OOO per year for the four carriers.

Dyer Saloon Keeper Calls on Sheriff to Recover Automobile.

Sheriff Hoover was in the north end of the county Saturday in search of a 7-passenger Halliday automobile, which a Dyer saloon keeper desired to locate. A young man by the name of Tuttle, living near Wheatfield, recently made the acquaintance of the Dyer saloonkeeper and represented himself as an expert chauffer. He told the Dyer man, it Is alleged, that there was big money in buying and selling second hand automobiles, and the saloonkeeper finally furnished the money to purchase a machine. Tuttle bought a machine and turned it over to the saloon man, who was later induced to give Tuttle $475 with which to purchase another car that he knew of, and which Tuttle said was a great bargain. Tuttle later turned up with a 7-passenger Halliday car, but soon disappeared with it, and the saloonkeeper appealed to the officer^ to locate it for him.

Sheriff Hoover finally located it in a barn at Tuttle’s father’s farm near Wheatfield. All four tires were missing and the car was In a badly delapldated condition. Tuttle agreed to turn it over to the saloonkeeper and he was not arrested. As soon as some new tires can be procured the car will be returned to Dyer, and the saloonist will attempt to sell It for enough to compensate him partly for the money he confided to Tuttle.

THEY ALL DEMAND IT.

Rensselaer, Like Every City, and Town In the Union, Receives It. People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies ‘today that relieve, but do not cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have cured thousands. Here Is Rensselaer evidence to prove it:

Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of back•‘nb® and other symptoms' of kidney complaint and I have always received prompt relief. Three years ago I first began their use and they have proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to -change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I p gave a statement for publication recommending them in the spring of 1907. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different members of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. - Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the \ name—Doan’s—and take no other. .
