CHIPPEWA INDIANS TO RETURN HERE

Will Be Here Tuesday, July 28th— Another Fine Game and Big Crowd Expected to Attend. The Chippewa Indian ball team is to return here for another game with the Athletics on Tuesday, July 28th- These two teams put up a classy exhibition last Thursday Snd the Redskins will-attempt to even matters up. The team played at Valparaiso Friday and are playing a series of three games* with the American Giants, the fdst negro nine, in Chicago. They will return here- Monday evening. The rumor has been going around that the Indians let the Athletics win in order to get a return game and some bets. The advance agent had left the team without notice and Mr. Amtz, tTie owner' of the team, did not know how far ahead they were booked until they ' reached Valparaiso and at no time Was it certain that the Chippewas would return. Late Friday afternoon a telegram came saying they, would be’back Tuesday. It is certainly not plausible that the Indians would simply hand, the Athletics, a game without knowing whether or not they would be back. Mr. Amtz will probably be on the mound for the Braves and will be opposed by Clark.:*'/' \ This game is expected to draw a record attendance, as the game was witnessed Thursday by a large crowd, who surely like to see the kind of hall played by the home nine on that day.

Circulating Extra Registration, Petition in Several Counties.

Unless petitions are filed by Aug. 15th, no county can have a special registration of the voters in September. In a number of counties members of all parties are busy now circulating petitions that will be presented within the next few days. " ' It is probable that in some of the small agricultural counties petitions, will not be filed, but it is the wish of the leaders of all the party organizations that special registration shall be conducted in every county and at least in all of the larger ones. , Governor Ralston has appointed' W~‘ W. Spencer, democrat, and Thomas Dailey, progressive, as a commission to interpret the registration corrupt practices and general election laws. > They will prepare for the registration boards a definition of the 'law which will enable them to understand it easily. The new registration law is different in some important respects from the old one. One oif the important changes permits an absent voter to register by filing an affidavit. Another important change is the fact that the new law provides for holding one registration, while the old one provided for pjEfttSA" : ~rr'';r The legislature in enacting this law took into consideration that it would be very difficult to get fie voters registered in the larger counties and it arranged for special registration by petitions, which are now being eireuffated for that purpose.

Money Orders Paid at Any Office Within Thirty Days.

Since July 1 money orders may be paid at any office in the United States if presented within thirty days from the date of issue, provided they are issued at any postoffiCe in the continental United States excepting Alaska, and drawn upon the same class of offices. The new rule, however,' does not apply to orders issued before July 1. The old custom was changed by a-law recently passed by congress and was put into effect toy an order of the postmaster general. A new form of money order has also been designed and will be used as soon as the old forms have been exhausted. It is not very different from the old form and will cause no confusion to the general public.

Mrs. John Ellis, of Chicago, is here for a visit over Sunday with J. H. S. Ellis. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hopkins, who have been taking a tour by auto through Illinois, are expected home today.

schrank, Who Shot Roosevelt, Growing Worst Mentally.

Milwaukee, * Wis., July 24.—John Schrank, who attempted to assassinate Col. Roosevelt In Milwaukee in October, 1912, probably never will be tried on the charge of assault with intent to kill, according to Judge A. C. Backus, of the Municipal Court, who today received word from physicians in the eriminally insane department of the state prison at Waupun that Schrank is daily growing worse from a mental standpoint The assault charge still stands against the prisoner and he can not be tried until he is pronounced sane - „

And This Happened In the Halted States.

A hail storm passing from north to south about a mile wide passed through the Gifford country yesterday. Corn in the path of the hail was completely destroyed.

seen at 12:45 o’clock in the Spurgeon building on the south side of Main street. The blaze spread rapidly east and west from the store and soon leaped across the street. Dynamite was used in a vain attempt to stop the flames. The fire ate its wav west to the I. O. O. F. building on the north side of the street, Here a cross street the "ifrmien, who,' Try using dynamite, halted the blaze shortly after 4 o’clock. Will Sills And Pete Stevens were overcome while fighting the flames and windows in many buildings not touched by fire were broken by dynamite. JasonviHe has been supplied with water by a corporation, which used deep weMs for its supply. When the flames broke out the firemen brought their hose into play, but only for a few minutes, as the water soon gave out. While the fire was burning a hayfield west of the city eaught. fire and forced several families to move out their goods. Hundreds of persons flocked to this city from Sullivan, Linton, Hymera and surrounding points. It is estimated that less than half of the loss is covered by insurance.

Dynamite was used first to check the fire when two empty houses in the business district were wrecked. This, however, checked the conflagration for only a short time. After the fire was put under control volunteer firemen began blowing up unsupported walls that menaced the safety of the people. The fire made homeless about 25 families who had apartments in room# Above the- stores. In most instances they lost everything.

GRADUATING CLASS OF 1895 ENTERTAINED

First Class Reunion in Nineteen W. H. Parkinson. At 6 o’clock, Friday evening, July 24th, 1914, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Parkinson, at their home on College avenue, delightfully entertained the graduating class of 1895, of the Rensselaer high school Before dinner was served, photographer H. F. Parker took a picture of the guests, grouped on the front poreh, and also a flash light while seated at the dinner table. It was the first get-together meeting of the class In nineteen years and proved to be more than a meeting of friends in the ordinary social way, by reason of the class association through many years of school life. Above the dinner table floated the class colons. Mrs. Parkinson was assisted by her daughter, Miss Helen, and the latter’s friend, Miss Helen Long, in the serving of a five course dinner, and it was “some dinner” too, and a vote of appreciation was given’the host and hostess for the splendid manner in which everything was “done up.” -——- The evening was spent in playing four-handed euchre and in conversation relating naturally to high school days. Many incidents were recalled, which some had forgotten, and ft all suggested those happy days that are not really appreciated until they are gone. A class picture, by W. O. Nelson, photographer, taken before graduation in 1895, was exhibited. It called forth various comments, and showed that while nineteen years had wrought some changes, those changes were after all not so marked as one would think. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Parkinson, son and daughter; Mary Moody Dunn and son; Dr. Ernest Wlshard and Mrs. Wish ard, Mr. and Mrs. George Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Blue; H. A. Fiynn, Mr. arid Mrs. J. J. Hunt, Mrs. Ora Clark Carson and Miss Long. Those not present and sending regrets were: Burl Richardson, Mrs. Flora Harrison Tucker, Mrs. Lettie Kohler Biff, Fanny McCarthy. It is planned to renew these get together meetings every four or five years, and Mr. and Mrs- Hunt have extended an invitation for 1920.
