CAN’T DENT IT

If This Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Rensselaer, Ton Might Doubt It. The average man is a doubter. This is not surprising—the public have been humbugged s 6 frequently they are skeptical. Proof like the following drill stand investigation. It cannot be disputed. Charles Malchow, Harvey St* Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. The small of my back was the part most affected but often the pain extended through my shoulders and eyen into my neck. The kidney* secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills, and on getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get relief.” For sale by all dealers.

Committee On Missionary Instruction is Needed.

A missionary policy for Indiana local Bible schools suggests a committee on missionary instruction in each Bible school, chosen or appointed, whose business it shall be to see missionary information is procured and dispensed either by the individual teacher or from the desk.

The matter of giving for missions will become simple when the needs are clearly understood. The subject of missions as a life work, brought to the attention of the boys and girls, may bring blessed results. . . Children should receive missionary instruction from the cradle roll up. Fill their minds so full of real worth-while things, there will be no room for evil. Who that has a son or daughter, but has realized the need of beginning Jqr childhood' the influence for better things. As one realizes how often the one hour spent in the Bible school is the only time in the week for close personal contact, let us make* the most of it. Mission study is broadening, enlarging to the mind, opening constantly new lines of thought and fields for work. It is necessary for us to know about a subject to be interested in it. To know of the missionary fields, the workers, the natives and the problems to be met, is to become interested in their behalf. The past year our country just lacked one of being listed as front line in mission instruction. Falling short of required per cent just one. Was that your school? Do you have missions taught systematically? If not, why not? Won’t you write to your township missionary secretary or the undersigned to obtain help? We would be glad to give help for your particular need. Do not omit this important line of work in your school.

Mrs, A. P. BURTON,

County Missionary Secretary.

Must Act ,in Ten Days or Contract Stands.

The appellate court has held that the owner of property in an incorporated town must act within ten days -after a contract is let by the board of trustees for an incorporated town, if he wishes to bring an injunction to set the contract aside. The decision is made in reversing the White circuit court tor granting property owners of the town of Monticello an injunction against Anthony A. Anheier and the trustees of the town, forbidding the performance of a contract for the construction of a sewer at a cost of $21,950, which was $6,950 in excess of the estimate made when the proceedings for its x construction were commenced, t? The court said the legislature has wisely put a time limit on the collateral attacks against contracts for public improvements of a town, and the property owners having waited more than their time can not now be heard in an injunction proceeding.

First 64 June Fires Cost Indiana $133,200.

Jqqe made a “good” start toward upholding Indiana’s record for Are losses, incomplete reports for the first five days, received by W. E. Longley, state fire marshal, showing a total loss of $133,200. There were 64 fires.

This is very close to the record made during May, when the approximate daily loss by fire was around $30,000. For the week ending June 5, taking in the last two days of May, 84 fires were reported, with a total loss of $169,210. One significant feature of the investigation of the causes of fires during that period, is the large number attributed to “adjoining fires.” Twenty-Seven of the 84 fires were caused by the burning of nearby or adjoining buildings. “This demonstrates,” says Fire Marshal Dmgley, “that the danger of fire is. two-fold. Not only may fire occur on your own premises, but you- are in constant danger of fire from adjoining buildings. It is clear, then, that it is every man’s concern to be sure that fire hazards are eliminated throughout his entire community. Wherever there is a perilous condition, the buildings on all sides of it are in. peril.” Twelve fires were classed as being of unknown origin. Eight were caused by defective flues. Seven of the fires are believed to be of incepdiary origin, while six were caused by carelessness with matches and lighted cigars. Explosions caused five fires and lightning the same number. Sparks from chimneys caused four fires. Stoves set fire to four properties and spontaneous combusion, two. One fire was caused by defective wiring and there were three of miscellaneous character. One of these occurred in a South Bend “suititorium”, where brimstone, in the pocket of a coat which was being cleaned, became ignited and set fire to gasoline in a tank.

He was pushing a handcar in front of his motor car, when the former left the rails, but did not clear the track In time to keep from catching his foot between the two cars, causing the above results. There has been quite a series of motor car cacidents on the Gifford railroad, which irf probably due to the uneven track conditions. Fortunately, no one, has been seriously hurt in any of the accidents. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Griffin and daughter, Mary, arrived home from Mesa, Ariz., Saturday afternoon, to which place they went last fall for the benefit of Mrs. Griffin’s health.

Teach Kingdom of Zanzibar How to Roller Skate.

New York, June 7.—Mr. and Mra Earle Reynolds, champion roller skaters of the world, returned from British East Africa on the steamer Mauretania, having set the entire court of the Sultan of Zanzibar on wheels. According to Mrs. Reynolds, the Sultan was so tickled by her exhibition pf roller skating that he immediately ordered skates for every member of the court and commanded them to skate. < “Many of them were very fat and groggy on their legs,” said Mrs. Reynolds. “Outside the palace is an incline some three or four miles long, and once the courtiers got started they could not stop themselves. Some lost their balance and toppled over, incurripg the wrath of the Sultan, who followed in an automobile with armed guards. The guards were told to prod the courtiers, who stopped with their spears, and when we left, after a three weeks’ stay, the court was still roller skating.”

Goodland Defeats Chicago Union Giants, 3 to 2.

At Goodland the fast semi-profes-sional colored team of Chicago, the Union Giants, met defeat at the hands of the Goodland nine. A crowd, estimated at from 1,200 to 1,500 fans, gathered at the ball park there to see one of the best and fastest games of ball ever played in this section of the state, The battery of the Goodland team was the brothers Kluth, of Chicago, and the colored players did not make a single clean hit'off the white side wheeler. . Four hits were garnered from Norman, the colored boxman. Goodland made their first tally in a peculiar way, the third out being made on a runner from second to third, but the score crossed the plate before the out was made, the score"thus counting, as the out was not made by the batsman. Goodland then held the Giants runless for several innings, when a base on balls and two errors filled the bases with their opponents. The catcher for the Goodland team then threw to third base to catch the runner there, but said baseman was not on the bag and the ball went sailing into left field, and two of the dingey runners crossed the pan. The Goodland lads were then mowed down in one, two, three order and it looked like the smoky gents from the’ windy city had the game sewed up and put away on ice. But in the last half of the ninth, an error by the center fielder and bobbles in the infield gave the Goodland boys two runs, enough to win, after one out. Goodland has a very fast team and their first and third sackers are dandies. Special mention should also be made of McCurry, the center gardner, who is lightning fast in the field, covering lots of territory, and made several circus catches. Sensational plays on both sides, choice bits of fielding and the base running of the Giants, were features. Several auto loads from Rensselaer attended the game.

Militant Dies as Result of Effort to Stop Derby.

London, June B.—Emily Wilding Davison, the first martyr to the militant efforts of women to obtain the suffrage, died today at the Epsom hospital as the result of a fracture of the skull, sustained in an attempt to stop the king’s horsey Anmer, during the running of the Derby on Wednesday. Only the matron of the hospital and two nurses were present at the death bed. A few moments before her death two comrades draped the screen surrounding the cot with the fateful colors of the Women’s Society and Political union, which she wore when she made her sensational attempt to interfere with the great classic of the British turf. Miss Davfsson had evidently expected to gain the track at Tattenham Corner in time to intercept and scatter the field, but was detained a moment by a spectator who tried to restrain her. She reached the track in time to be struck by the king’s horse, which was running in the ruck. The woman tamed a complete somersault, coming down across thelegs of Jockey Jones, who had been left prone and unconscious after the fall of his mount She struck on her head, and it was believed at first that her thick hair had saved her from more than concussion, but a later examination showed a fracture of the base of the skull. An operation was performed but the case was hopeless. Miss Davison was noted for her daring feats in behalf of militancy. One of her earliest exploits was to barricade herself in a cell,"and she was only subdued with the aid of a fire hose. On another occasion she cast herself down a flight of stairs in jail and was seriously Injured. She was one of the most persistent invaders of the house of commons, which she gained at one time by way of the air-shaft. Her last exploit before the fatal Epsom incident was the assault of a Baptist clergyman in the belief that he was Chancellor Lloyd George The inquest will be held Tuesday. The funeral will take place in London and members of the Women’s Political and Soeial union will take a prominent part
