Warning Given to Look Ont for Followers of Show.

Marshal Shesler received a telefram this morning from the marshal at Roachdale giving a warning about watching out for erooks that may be following the Haag circus. Several occurrences there proved that there were a number of show followers who would commit holdups, rob 'houses, snatch purses and commit any sort of act to get a little money. In view of this warning every person should be on the lookout and should be sure to keep their doors locked' even when at home and if the home is left unoccupied to leave no valuables laying about. Women should hold firmly to their purses and should not be on the street unaccompanied.

An act which occurred at Sullivan should attach no stigma to the circus, however. As the circus was being loaded there the manager of transportation, F. A. Curtis, asked Claud Purcell, who was talking to some of: the workmen, to move on. He pulled out a revolver and shot Curtis, whose condition Is now critical. Purcell is in jail at Sullivan. Showmen here today, state that he was drunk.

WRECK AT LOWELL WAS REMARKABLE

From the Standpoint That None Were KiUod-Piel of Oars Attracted Many Visitors. The Republican reporter visited the scene of the wreck at Lowell Tuesday afternoon and the sight was worth seeing. Four long steel sleeping dans were piled in a depression In the ground, while the day coach of the train stood with one end dipped down a steep embankment. The wonder was that several lives were not lost The accident was caused by a mail sack striking the switch post and breaking the lever off, throwing the switch. The engine, mail ear and combination baggage car and smoker proceeded on the main track, and the day coach did for some distance. The witch seems to have slipped after the front truck of the first sleeper had passed over. There were six sleepers, long, heavy, Steel cars. The first one swung at right angles to the main track as the main track and the rear trucks on the siding. The switch was very short. Fortunately there were no freight cars on it. The bumper at the end (was knocked off and four of the sleepers went into a low place in the ground, the first one alighting on the tool and side at right angles to the others. The next three piled on their sides. The two in the rear remained on the siding. The cars more or less battered up. Those injured were: JohlannaL. SuiHivan, Chicago. Margaret Kelley, Chicago. R. E. Parkinson, Eau Claire, Wie. J. S. Green, Chicago. < A. B. Bariand, Chicago. Stamp Wooldridge, Summit Ky. Josephine Crawfard, Chicago. Mary E. Helm, Elizabethtown, Ky.. C. C. Dunson, Chicago. z J. J. Crooks, Racine, Wis. Miss Leona Fleming, Chicago. Fred Siegenthalem, Monroe, Wis. R. E. Parkinson, of Eau Claire, was the most seriously injured. He was able, however, to go to the depot and proceed to his home on No. 6 Tuesday afternoon. One lady suffered a fractured wrist and other injuries which were not as serious as at first seemed probable. The good people of Lowell were soon at the scene of the wreck, giving all the aid they could. Many of the uninjured desired to go on to Chicago and were taken by auto to North Hayden, where they took passage on a train on the Indiana Harbor road. Most of the wreck fell free from the main track and traffic was sot delayed many hours.

I am setting out at the cemetery the most delicate plants. They start better early than later, and there is practically no danger of frosts.—J. H. Holden. Alum baking powders are no more harmful to the health of a person than any other baking powders, but it is wtee to be moderate in the use of foods that are leavened with baking powder. Such is the coneJuston of the referee board of consulting scientific experts of the department of agriculture as the result of experiments to determine the influence of alum compounds on the nutrition and health of man.

Fire Marshal Reports 50 Unrodded Lightning Losses to One Rodded.

For every 1<J8» on buildings protected by lightning rods in Indiana, there are fifty similar losses reported on buildings that are unrodded. *>' Sueh are the figures gathered by the Indiana state fire marshal during the first eight months of the existence of his office. They prove conclusively, the fire marshal feels, the value of the lightning rod as a means of preventing lightning loss. During the eight months included in the fire marshal’s report, there was a total of 1,006 fires from lightning in Indiana. Of this number 718 occurred on buildings that were’ unrodded. Fourteen were on rodded buildings. In 274' Instances it was impossible to learn definitely whether the building was protected by rods. “These figures,” says the Indiana fire marshal, “taken in conjunction with the increase in insurance rates which farmers are having to face generally, serve to show the importance of adequate protection to rural property from lightning. Many thousands of dollars could be saved in farm property each year, if the (farmer would equip his buildings with lightning rods.” The total loss in the state by lightning, as shown during the first eight months of the existence of the fire marshal department, is estimated at $864,851. Of this amount $536,963 was on building and $327,888 was on contents.

With the approach of summer, he fire marshal is particularly anxous to impress upon farmers the to life and property from 1 Igfrtning. As shown iby the department's statistics last year, a tonal of 77 fires from lightning occurred during the month of May alone, with 155 more reported for the month of June. The fire marshal is anxious to see this heavy loss lowered for the coming two months in 1914. Barns offer the greatest source of oss from lightning, according to be reports of the fire "marshal. Of ;he 1,006 fires which occurred from this source during the eight months covered by the report, a total of 510 were barn fires. More than 469 of ;he barns either totally or partially burned were on farm property. Other kinds of property endangered by lightning hazards, with the number of fires resulting Were: Dwellings—3os. Factories—2o. 'Hay—23. Store—6. School—27. Church—l 4. Gattie and miso.—lol. Of the total number of dwellings struck by lightning, more than 48 per cent were on Indiana farms. In order that farmers may be fully informed on the nature and cause of all lightning fires (the fire marshal has Just issued a leaflet containing the. lightning statistics gathered during the first eight months of the existence of hte office This leaflet will be sent free to anyone who desires it.

NOT AN ISOLATED CASE Many Similar Cases in Rensselaer and Vicinity. This Rensselaer woman’s story given here is not an isolated case by any means; week after week, year after year, our neighbors are telling similar good news. 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. backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used them and I was so well pleased with the benefit I got that I gave a statement tor publication recommending them. 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 ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myeslf have been greatly benefited.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t’ simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hickman bad. FosterMilburn Co, Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

HAAG CIRCUS HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Commendable Parade and Indications Point to a Splendid Show —Small Crowd in Town. The Mighty Haag circus arrived in Rensselaer this morning at about 4 o’dock and there were a goodly number of people out to see the unloading of the wagons and equipment. The circus has sixteen cars, all large and’substantial ears and the general equipment Is good, some of the work horses, however, being somewhat run down. The show as a whole seams very much ahead of the show that was here a year ago. It was after 8 o’clock before all the equipment arrived at the show ground, which is at the ball park. The tents were raised and are large and ample to take care of big crowds. The interior of the show tent consists of two rings and a stage and the arrangement is such that all who attend will be able to witness the entire performance. The parade took place at about 11 o’clock and was very creditable. It was not strung out so much as many of the show parades, but there were three bands, a number of animal cages, three large elephants, a herd of camels, including a baby camel, some fine looking show 'horses, a number of ponies, several clowns, two steam eallopes and the women were of much better appearance generally than.those with most shows. In fact, this show has the reputation of having the most beautiful actresses of any circus on the road. The manager of the show states that it speaks for itself, is a high class performance and that all who attend will get their money’s worth. Every actor is a star. Nettie Greer is featured as the most (fascinating lady rider In the world. The Muneieh family of German aerial artists are the acting sensation of the season and champions in their Mne. The herd of trained elephants eost $15,000 and have no superiors in the show 'business. The band which plays during the performances is an exceptionally fine one, being composed of trained musicians. There are twenty beautiful women performers and all in all the Haag circus seems likely to please all who attend and to be worthy of a large patronage. The manager wishes us to state that every act will be given in full at the night performance just as it is In the afternoon.
