AT THE GAYETY THIS and TOMORROW EVENINGS Hinds & Co. A novelty ventriloquist act. In this act there are two ■dummies instead of one as usually seen, placed In communication through the medium of telephones, and what they do and say is a plenty.

DOUBT CANNOT EXIST

Investigation Will Only Strength* en the Proof We Give in ■* -Rensselaer. How can doubt exist in the face of such evidence? Read here the endorsement of a representative citizen of Rensselaer. 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 was badly in need of something that would rdieve 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 their brought prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills 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 Pillis and in each case the results have been of the best.” (Price 50c, at all dealers.

WESTERN "STARS” A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

Dusky Satellites eßaten 21 to 0 and Big Crowd Convinced They Never Saw a Diamond. It is difficult to justify a ball ■game like the one offered, here Sunday, when the Western Stars, a colored team from Chicago that was booked by the Chicago Baseball Association, put up the worst example of ibaseball ever seen in Rensselaer. To all appearances the team had never before seen a ball game and their pitiable offering became so tiresome that fully half of the rge crowd that had assembled withdrew in disgust. The fans were whetted up for a real ball game and expected to see one. The disappointment was keenly felt, and the Management will undertake to prevent any recurrence of a similar kind.

Emmet Eldridge should have been here Sunday to have enjoyed the opportunity to even up with the fellows who roasted him last year for bringing the stockyards team here. The dusky .players never had a look in and after Clark had pitched everything easy he had, he turned the game over to- Bristow, with Jimmie Eldridge at the receiving end and the slaughter of the innocents proceeded. During the last inning the ■ outfielders all came on the inside of the diamond and the black lads went out in one, two, three order. Rensselaer up the hitting and running until darkness had they cared to do so. The pickaninnies fumbled and booted the ball, muffed the flies 1 , stubbed their toes on their heels and threw the ball so wildly that all the Athletics had to do was to •start running and keep it up. The running feature afforded about the only amusement there was to the game, although the hitting of the Athletics was interesting, as they planted the ball at pleasure, arid ihad the distracted Afri'cans chas-’ ing themselves frantically all over the big park. r The game ean not be written up to sound any better than it looked and we shall spare the readers the agony. The Athletics, however, seemed in such good condition Sunday that the following notes have Ween prepared. Jimmie Eldridge made five runs, hit the ball hard and ran the bases like a leaguer. He gets off at the crack of the bat and is showing up in good shape at the third sack. Morgan is showing his old class at short and with Hatton at second will be able to do the “Tink-er-Evers” stuff with a ‘little practice. They figured in two or three doubles Sunday that looked good. Dad Swartzell keeps improving at first sack arid widens his ground with each game. (Howard Clark has all of his 1913 speed and control and hits will be few and far between the rest of the ■season, while Wilcox gets everything behind the bat and his throw to second shuts off the steels. Elder pulled off several Circus catches in the left garden and covers more held space than any player that ever performed for Rensselaer. Harold Clark looks good in the center field and his batting is improving. He also runs bases in fine style and will be a big help to the team. Parks in the right garden completes the best all home team that ever represented this city and we expect them to make a fine showing and have Goodland, Delphi and Lowell tied to a post as soon as we can get at them. Morgan made two homers Sunday, losing the ball through -the center garden fence. Elder made his fourth three-bagger of the year. Both are counted on for big doings in the hard contests to follow. The U. S. Army team next Sunday.

FRENCH CARS WON 500-MILE AUTO RACE

Rene Thomas in a Delage Was First, While French Cars Took First Four Positions. The fourth 500-mile race at the Indianapolis speedway is over, with the result that Rene Thomas in a Delage ear was first, with another Delage third and two Peugeots ranking second and fourth. The Stutz car with Barney Oldfield at the wheel, came in fifth. The fact that the first four cars to finish were French made, shows the superiority of that make and not altogether the daring, yet careful driving, of tha> now famous - The •accidents were few, there being only three, but it may prove yet that loss of life is to come to joe Dawson, who Saturday drove a Mannon and who won the race in' a National in 1912. An Isotta driven by Gilhooley hit the concrete wall and turned over and over on the track. Joe Dawson, driving close behind it at a terrific speed, made a desperate effort to avert a collision and went to the edge of the track, where his car hit the dirt and was wrecked. Dawson was seriously and possibly fatally-injured. Th is was the fourth and greatest 500-mile race at this speedway and was seen by a record-breaking crowd of 110,000 persons. This is the second race won by French drivers. Thirteen cars finished and the winner made an average of 82.47 miles per hour. Each winner of the race has had a number which is a multiple of 8. The winner in 1911 had No. 32; in 1912, No. 8; in 1913, No. 16, and this year by the same number. .

RENSSELAER PAID TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS

Large Crowd Assembled to Hear Address and See the Graves Covered With Flowers. The decoration of the graves of the soldier dead last Saturday was a solemn tribute to the Valorous dead and a eulogy to the surviving veterans and the spirit of patriotism in Jasper county was shown by the fact that a very large crowd was gathered at the cemetery, where a program of rare excellence was carried out. The procession to the cemetery was led by the band, followed by a number of children carrying flags, the Odd Fellows, Red Men, the Are department and thirty-two old soldiers. Several other soldiers, unable to walk, had gone to the cemetery to autos on buggies. George P. Daugherty, long an invalid, and Harvey W. Wood, Sr., who had recently undergone an operation, were both able to attend the service, and occupied places On the speakers’ stand. D. H. Yeoman was in Charge of the program, which consisted of selections by the band, good songs by the choir, a solo by Mrs. Edd J. Randle and a reading by Miss Marie Comer, all of which were very much appreciated. The address of Dr. Paul C. Curnick was pronounced by all who heard it as an exceptionally fine one. The cemetery is in the very best condition, the grass being carefully cut, the graves all cared for, the flower beds along the drive way and in the front and on many of the privately owned lots. There are few prettier burying places in this country. Dr. Curnick, in the course of his remarks, said that he ihad traveled in many states and had at no place seen a cemetery so well cared for. Following the service at the graveyard the march back to town was led by the band, followed by the old soldiers. At the G. A. R. hall the ladies of that order served to •the old soldiers a big dinner, following their annual, custom, and a very pleasant time was had. - The event was fully in keeping with the spirit of the day, and Jasper county certainly turns out creditably to honor those who offered their lives for the preservation of the union.

She was up town at the time and he asked his nephew, Arthur Tuteur, to find her and accompany her to his home, where the sad news would be broken to her. It is presumed that the excitement was responsible for the stroke, which followed the breaking of the news to his wife. His right side was effected, there was a pronounced twitching of the right side of ihis face, he lost partial control of his right arm and his speech became affected. A physician was called and he was put to bed, where he has since remained. He seems slightly improved and will be tabs en to his home in Chicago this Monday afternoon.
