WEATHER RECORD SHATTERED AGAIN

Temperature Sunday Was Again 104; Lowest Point Sunday Night Was 71. Today, Monday, June 30th, is the fourth that the* temperature has been 100 or more in. the shade. The record Is: Friday 101. Saturday 104. Sunday 104. Monday 100. The lowest point reached Saturday night was 69 and the lowest Sunday night was 71. These are official reports from the government weather bureau station at St. Joseph’s college. , A break is promised for tomorrow, with scattered thunder showers tonight. Samuel H. Holmes and son, of Jamestown, N. Dak., have been here for the past week and will remain for two or three weeks, longer. The boy, who is about 12 years of age, had been suffering for some time from a nervous trouble that baffled the physicians at Jamestown and he brought the lad to St. Paul and consulted a specialist The treatment prescribed seems to be doing him considerable good and Sam thought he had better remain with the boy here for about a month. Crop conditions about Jamestowri" are fine this year. Sam has oats, wheat, barley and rye out and just a little corn. Prof. Lillo Hauter, who taught school in Washington the last year, will teach the coming year at East Grand Forks, Minn. He specializes In agriculture and engages in extension work, and will 'have somewhat the same duties there that the county agents will have in Indiana. He will have a 10-acre plot of ground on which to conduct experiments and demonstration work. This might be a good thing in'lndiana and it seems to us that the county agent could very conveniently have been a memberrof the high school faculty had the law so provided. East Grand Forks is a dty of about 3,000 people in Polk county, in which Mclntosh, where Walter English wih teach, is also located. One man was killed and fifteen were injured, many of them fatally, Friday afternoon when a Pennsylvania passenger train crashed head on into a work train at Woodville, O, twelve miles east of Toledo. The dead and injured were taken to Toledo on relief trains sent out by officials of the company. Butter wrappers, any quantity, plain or printed, may be had at The Republican office.

Doctor Hurty Talks On the Anti-Dope Law.

Dangers of acquiring a drug habit from taking sleeping powders; the effects of the anti-drug law passed by the last legislature and interesting sidelights on dope fiends are treated in a special article given the United Press by Dr. J. N. Hurty, state health commissioner. Dope fiends are scarce, probably not to exceed one person in a thousand, says Dr. Hurty. But the number of those who occasionally take Sleeping potions and who are constantly on the verge of becoming drug addicts is not small, he declares. “Since the going into effect of the Indiana law which so well controls the sale of narcotics,” Dr. Hurty states, “the dope fiends have appeared numerously at the board of health office telling their pitiful stories. Many made sick" through deprivation of their particular drug have landed in the city hospital. "All of these cases are found to be persons who are of no earthly use to society. They are parasites upon others, and, if deprived of their drug even one doling period, will lie, beg or steal to get it. One man, 60 years old, said he had taken morphine for 40 years, and for the last 20 years 20 grains a day. A medicinal dose is one-eighth to onefourth grain, two grains being almost certainly fatal. Yet here was ,a case, and there are many, When 10 times the fatal d<> ;e was actually required daily to keep 'body and soul together, showing the wonderful power of the human body to adapt itself to poisons and even growing into a condition which demanded poison. “This man, though in good flesh, had heavy eyes, slow speech and movement, a furtive, evasive and suspicious mahner. He declared a doctor led him into the habit and laid some blame on his wife, who didn’t ‘take good care’ of him when he was sick. His wife rented out rooms and sewed a little for their support. She refuses to take morphine, the doper said. His dope cost about 20 cents a day and his old wife earned the money. For 40 years he had been dependant upon his wife. The fallen man could not in fairness attribute his fall to the doctor, for he confessed the latter particularly warned against selfdosing. ' 1 . ‘The anti-dope law will keep away dope from the fiends for a while, but they will finally get it somehow, for experience has proven we can keep dope fiends from dope by imprisoning them, but if they are loose they will certainly get their dppe/ ‘The heavy hand of heredity is upon dope fiends. They were born with unstable minds and weak wills. There a« exceptions, but they are few. It is not the drug which causes these qualities to appear, because the dope fiends were weak stuff in the beginning.”

LOST TO MOMENCE BY 4 TO 3 SCORE

Errors Responsible for Defeat of Athletics in Oood Contest Sunday Afternoon. Costly errors and some bad luck figured in the defeat of the Athletics by Momence Sunday afternoon. Clark pitched'well enough tc have won, while his team mates batted enough to have won. but errors at critical times let the visitors finish with the long end. The first visitor hit safely and went out trying to steal, Morgan handling a perfect throw from Wilcox. J. Rehmer got to first on a hit and stole both first and second and scored when Harold Clark and Robinson let an infield grounder get by. That flnished the scoring in the first inning and the visitors scored again hi the third. L. Rehmer went to first on an error, was advanced when J. Rehmer hit and scored on a hit-by Haslet. Blaze made a hit in the fourth and circled, the bases by stealing setond, going to third on a sacrifice and coming in on an infield ball to Morgan, which the latter threw high to Wilcox and the latter muffed in his anxiety to touch the runner. The next and last run was made in the seventh, when L. Rehmer led off with a 3-base hit. J. Rehmer followed with a long fly to left, which Elder caught and made a perfect throw to the plate. Wilcox Sropped the ball but recovered it idt as L. Rehmer was passing. Umpire McLain called the man safe and the score proved to be the winning one. fl Reisselaer scored in the first. (Morgan was hit by a pitched ball and stole second and third and came home on Denniston’s hit Denny tried to reach second when the ball was thrown to the plate in an effort to catch Morgan, but Thomas whipped it back so quickly that Denny was caught sliding in. After Harold Clark had struck out Elmer Wilcox lifted a 2-eacker and Swartzell went out short to first. The Athletics did not show much until the seventh when they almost scored. E. Wilcox hit safely and went to second on an error of Swartzell’s grounder. “Dad” was caught trying to steal second, after Wilcox had purloined third. J. Wilcox flew out to right, Robinson reached first on an infield grounder, but Wilcox could not reach home and Elder finished the inning with a fly to left In the eighth Howard Clark reached first on a line drive but Morgan and Harold Clark tanned and Denniston flew to center. In the ninth Wilcox hit a single and scored on Swartzell’s double. J. Wilcox sacrificed “Dad” to third and Putts went in as a pinch hitter and sacrificed Swartzell home. With none on the bases Elder went out short to first.

RESULTS TELL

There Can Be No Doubt About the Results in Rensselaer. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed.. The testimony of a Rensselaer citizen Can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? Mrs. F. W. Rutherford, College Ave, Rensselaer, Ind, says: "I have no reason to alter my high opinion of Doan’s Kidney Pills which I publicly expressed some years ago. I have even greater confidence in this remedy than I did then, for I found It to be just as represented. I was badly in need of something that would relieve my suffering. My back ached most of the time and I felt languid and had no ambition. I had dizzy spells and headaches and there were many other symptoms of kidney trouble. When I read that Doan’s Kidney Pills were a good remedy for such complaints, I procured a box at Fendig’s Drug Store and they brought prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney PMls in the house and I find that, a few doses now and then keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan's Kidney Pitts and in eaCh case the results have been of the best.” For %ale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
