WONDERFUL CAMERA WORK TO-NIGHT At PRINCESS THEATRE Augustus Phillips Plays Role Of TWIN BROTHERS • .. - ■ - . . More than a few of the film manufacturers have been putting on dual i ole dramas, those in which one player enacts two roles and appears twice in the same scene. The cleverness of timing and stage direction which made it possible for one actor to appear both as himself and another has been quite remarkable ' and makes one almost believe, that there is no limit beyond which the Camera cannot go. The Edison directors and camera men, however, have gone a step farther than any other manufacturer, in their production of THE. TWIN BROTHERS, for in this photo play one beholds Augustus Phillips not only playing the role of both Twin Brothers, but even sees him in one scene, snatch a photograph out of his own hand and in another you see him shake hands with himself. Don’t miss seeing this wonderful picture. OTHER PICTURES “The Knight of Cyclone Gulch” Kalem Comedy “Curing Her Extravagance” Comedy “Bill’s Sweetheart” An Edison Western Drama Price 5 and lOc.

Heavy Rains Caused A Wash In the Lowman Ditch.

The heavy rain of Sunday night caused considerable trouble for the contractors for the Lowman ditch in Milroy township. Fred Schultz and Charles Schwanke are the contractors. They found that the sand had been loosed along the bank and had slipped into a completed part of the ditch, almost filling it up for a distance of 300 feet. It required about two days’ work with the men and teams to reclean it. A good church supper for 25 cents Friday, beginning at 5 o’clock at the parochial school. There was another big rain this morning and it was not needed. The heavy rain of Sunday night and the light rain of Monday answered all needs, and some warm dry weather now is needed for thrashing and com. Pasture is growing splendidly, however, so the excess of rain is not without some good. The Foresters’ band will play for the lawn social at St. Augustine’s Catholic church Friday evening. Ice cream and cake will be served. 1 * /n -rin-j- 7 Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Warren and little daughter, of Lawton, Okla., have been in Rensselaer and Jasper county for several days and will spend the balance of the month here, going to Fountain Park, at Remington next Saturday to remain during the assembly sassion.

The following story of the rescue of a man thought to be drowned is taken from the Lafayette Courier. Miss Minnie Alter,- the trained nurse, whose knowledge of how to proceed and whose diligent work saved the young man, is the daughter of Lewis S. Alter, of Carpenter township. The story as printed in The Courier follows: Lying for more than five minutes at the bottom of the Wabash river with nine feet of water over him and living to tell of his harrowing experience, such was the experience of Benjamin Chenoweth, aged 20. Early Tuesday morning he left his home in West Lafayette with the intention of spending a part of the day Ashing. He selected the west end of the Main street bridge and shortly before 11 o’clock he walked out, on the wooden girder under the bridge. He was out about forty feet when he lost his balance and fell head Arst into the river about ten feet below. He came up oncer and tyen went down.’ Small boys* Ashing nearby, gave the alarm, and Foreman Michael Donohue of the Lafayette Engineering company and Frank Taylor, also an employe of the company, went to the rescue in a row boat. Donohue went down to the river bed with the assistance of a pyke pojp,' and soon had Chenowteh in the boat. He was unconscious and was brought to the west shore. It was thought he was dead, and the city service auto, with Patrolman Cole and William Roberts, were soon on the scene. They had brought grab hooks along to recover the body. bridge men had been working ou Chenoweth but a short time, when Miss Minnie Alter, a trained nurse, who was crossing the bridge, was attracted to the scene. She came to the rescue of the unconscious man with professional skill, and directed the work of saving his life. ArtiAcial respiration fras used and Miss Alter herself worked over the young man until she was nearly exhausted. Her efforts to bring the spark of life back were successful in the end, and in about ten minutes Chenoweth was conscious. Dr. J. W. Shafer also later assisted in reviving Chenoweth The youi g man certainly came very near Alling a watery grave His escape was little short of miraculous. Chenoweth was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Chenoweth, 228 South Pierce street, West Lafayette.

Open Cut-Offs and Failure To Have Lamps Alight Criticised.

The officers of the town are meeting with many criticisms from the public because a nuinber of automobile and motorcycle drivers do not observe some of the regulations, and it is quite probable that arrests and convictions are going to follow these violations. The cutoffs must be closed within the city limits. After nightfall lights must be turned on, .both front and rear. The rear lights must be so petitioned that the lights shine on the number borne on the car. The legal limit of travel within the corporation is 8 miles an hour. Practice has permitted a speed of 15 miles off the business streets. There have been some speeding violations every day and this is certain to draw a fine for violators, just as failure to have tail lights on and the cut-off open are sure to get some drivers into, trouble.

NEAR-TREGEDY AT EDGEWATER CAMP

Returned Campers Relate Canoe Aceident That Almost Resulted In Drowning Three.

This Thursday morning the Rensselaer people who had been camping for ten days at Edgewater club house near Monticello returned‘home. The other members of the camming party were from Brook, Kentland and Mt. Ayr and also went to' their homes. All had a delightful time. The pleasure of the campers were almost spoiled Tuesday evening by a near-tragedy. Miss Ethel McCarthy and Miss Eva Putts, of Rensselaer, were spending the day there and in the evening Frank Putts took his sister, Miss Eva, and Miss Nellie Little, of Mt. Ayr, out for a canoe ride. Their canoe was in midstream when suddenly it lurched to one side and pitched all three into the water, which was about five feet deep. Miss Little managed to cling to the side of the canoe, but Frank and Eva were thrown free from the boat and Frank assisted his sister to the canoe, after quite a struggle. Frank Cox and Miss Hazel Woodcox happened to be near in a large boat and 'they hastened to the rescue and all caught hold of the* boat and were towed to shore. Save for the fact that the rescuing party was near at hand it is quite certain than one or possibly all three might have lost their lives.

Couple At Newland Eloped; No Information About Them.

Miss “Dot” Lucas, the pretty 19-years-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Lucas, of Newland, and John Marlon, 27 years of age, left that place Tuesday evening and have not yet returned. There seems every probability that they have eloped and it is presumed that they will return almost any day for the parental blessing. Mr. Lucas is the merchant at Newland, having succeeded Guy Beebe about five months ago. It is understood that he objected to his daughter marrying Marion. Parental non-approval, however, does not accomplish much in a case of true love, and the story of this romance is that Marion had an automobile meet the young lady and himself at the edge of -the village Tuesday evening and that they shaped out so quietly that the objecting father did not discover his daughter’s absence until they were safely on their way to the hymenal altar.

George P. Daugherty Had Slight Stroke Of Apoplexy.

George P. Daugherty, who is almost 86 years of age and who has been in feeble health for a long time, suffered a slight stroke of apoplexy Wednesday afternoon at his home on East Grace street. He is slightly improved today but confined to his bed. The outcome is uncertain at this time, but it is quite probable that ha can not recover entirely from the effects of the stroke. —r

IMPERIAL BELL RINGERS.

MONON BOOSTERS HERE WEDNESDAY

Thirty-Five Autos and Crowd Of Two Hundred Here To Advertise Gala Week There.

Gala week at Monon will be Aug. 27, 28 and 29. Every person in northwestern Indiana will have the dates «indellibly impressed on his mind if the boosters keep up their methods of advertising. Wednesday evening at about 4:30 some thirty-five auto loads of boosters arrived here and paraded the streets, gave several band selections, passed bills and shouted for Monon. We have had boosters here before but never a crowd that bubbled over with enterprise and enthusiasm like this bunch did. Professional men, tradesmen, merchants and all, accompanied by a cluster of women and girls, all wearing paper caps, of the “George Washington Crossing the Delaware” type, swarmed together and didn’t seem to mind the fact that they were covered with dust and had been about eighty miles and given a dozen parades before. They were filled up with their mission to advertise gala week and they certainly did it effectually. The boosters left Monon with 44 ears, headed by the big truck in which there were thirty-five people. The Delphi, band was a part of the boosting crowd, having been hired for the occasion. The route was from Monon to Monticello, Delphi, Brookston, Chalmers, Reynolds, Seafield, Wolcott, Remington, Rensselaer, Pleasant Ridge, McCoysburg, Lee and back to Mon On. Next Wednesday they will make another trip, including Burnettsville, Idaville, Winamac, Medaryville, Francesville and Buffalo. Dr. J. H. Hansson, a former Monon citizen, inspired a little reception for the boosters and with his car and the car of Mayor Meyers met the autos at St. Joseph’s college and led the parade to town. A word about gala week. There will be two aeroplane flights each day, free acts from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m., a ball game each day, band music all the time, and a lively, wholesome time all the time.

WILLIS STU OUT ON BAIL OF $500

Technical Reasons Offered For Failure To Place Alleged Rapist Under Heavier Bond.

The light bond that was accepted for the release of James L. Willis, alleged to have ravished a 15 year old girl, has not been increased. It is understood that Mayor Meyers, in whose court the original hearing took place, had legal advice that he did not havj jmisdfetion to reopen the case and raise the bail, because he had Venued It to another court. A local Justice of the Peace, versed in matters of this kind, states that the proceeding has been a ridfcuolus farce so far, and states that there is every reason why the bond should be increased without delay to sufficient size to hold Willis and that if he can not give it he should be incarcerated without delay. This justice states that some one certainly has jurisdiction and that it remains in the court of originality until the papers are made up and, are in the hands of the court of venue. There is criticism on all sides because of the fact that Willis is free at all. The result of the physicians’ examination is such as to warrant the closest watch over him. 7 Mrs. J. L. Willis, wife of the accused man, is in a quite serious condition today. She kept up fairly well Wednesday but suffered a collapse during the night and the trouble her husband is in has precipiated a condition that has been coming on for some time. She was operated on a year ago and the trouble has been coming back since that time and another operation is necessary and will take place tonight or tomorrow, according to Dr. E. N. Loy, the local physician, who has sent to Chicago for a surgeon.

Wet Grounds At Monticello Caused Postponement of Game.

Monticello was to have played* ball today with Idaville and Howard Clark was to have been on the rubber for Monticello, but the heavy rain of this morning caused a cancellation of the game, and Clark was notified by telephone that he need not come. Monticello is to be here for a game Sunday with the Athletics. Who will pitch for them is not known but that they will come over with a good team can be confidently expected. Clark has pitched two no run gpmes the past two Sundays, the Chicago Cattlemen and the Lowell team getting only 2 hits each off his delivery. Fot the past eighteen innings not a man has passed second base. The team Sunday will line up about as it has in the past, except that Parks will probably be at short and Eldridge in the field, although the order of playing may be shifted to keep Eldridge in his position. Mr. and Mrs. B. Bernhardt, of Chicago, the parents of Mrs. Louis Leopold, of Wolcott, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. A. Leopold. Miss Mary Yates, accompanied by J. H. Gillespie, of Shreveport, lowa, who has been her guest for the past ten days, went to Rossville, 111., today for a visit of several days. “I suffered habitually from constipation. Doan's Regulets relieved and strengthened the so that they have been regular ever si nee.”—E. Davis, Grocer, Sulphur Springs, Texas. Judge Hanley and Attorney Halleck and their families, who started Monday on an automobile trip to Wisconsin, are now at Green Bay, where they will remain the balance of the week. They went to Chicago Monday, arriving there at about 6 o’clock in the evening. The heavy rain of Sunday-night had made the roads slippery and this retarded their progress. They also had some tire trouble.

Good Reason for His Enthusiasm.

When a man his suffered tor several days with colic, diarrhoea or other form of bowel complaint and is then cured sound and well by one or two doses of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as Is often the case, it is but natural that he should be enthusiastic in his praise of the remedy, and especially is this the case of a severe attack when life Is threatened. Try it when in need of such a remedy. It never falls. Sold by A. F. Long.C
