7 How can doubt exist in the face of such evidence?' Read hare the endorsements 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 Qoan’s Kidney Pills which I publicly expressed some years ago. I was badly .in need of something tbat 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 J 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 Pills in the house and I find that a few dosee now and then, keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney 1411 s and in each case the results have been of the best/’ Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Rutherford had. FosterMilburn 00., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

FAIR OAKS YOUNG LADY DIES BY HER OWN HAND

/ .. •. v Pearl Baker Takes Overdose of Morphine With Fatal Results— Coroner Says Suicide. \ A Coroner Wright, with Drs. Hemphill and English, went to Fair Oaks this morning to Investigate the death of Pearl Baker, sixteen years of age, who yesterday afternoon died by her own hand; having taken an qver-dose of morphine. The rhysicians performed an autopsy and found that death had resulted from morphine poisoning. The coroner brought in a verdict of suicide. Dr.. Hemphill was called to Fair Oaks Sunday afternoon and found the girl ip a state of coma,-' she passed away shortly after he arrived, lU possible means, being taken to save her life. r The girl was a daughter of Stella and John Baker. Her mother was formerly Stella Dewitt, who lived in Rensselaew some .fifteen years ago. She left Baker and was afterwards married to a man named Gray, who died in the west and was brought back here some time ago. Pearl lived with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Dewitt, an aged couple, living in Fair Oaks, and it seems that she had a very hard time, as she was compelled to do a great deal of hard, menial labor. The old man is a sufferer from some bone trouble and takes morphine to ease his pain. The aged lady is blind and was alone in the house with the girl at the time of the taking of the poison. The girl was engaged to be married to a railroader but owing to the very stren-, uous objections of the Dewitt family she was not allowed to marry. This railroader a few days ago went to North pakota, and she was to follow him*in a short time, but the family watched her so closely that this she was. unable to do. Seeing nothing ahead hut a life of drudgery is ascribed as the motive for her terrible deed.

About 2 o’clock she went to the cupboard, where the supply of morphine is kept, and took a quantity on the blade of a case knife, and then went up stairs, where she lay down on her bed. A storm coming up in the afternoon, she was called to close the windows. Getting no response, on# of th§ Dewitt boys went up to see’what was the matter. There she was found, breathing hard and frothing at the mouth. Immediately the physician was called with the result already noted. Some further investigation, ft is reported, will be made.

FIRST NEWS FROM FORT BENJ. HARRISON

Oapt. Healey, of Oompaky M, Furnishes Interesting Story of tho f State Encampment. ~*;-r Fort Benjamin Harrison, Sunday morning, Aug. 23, 1914.—The annual maneuver camp of the Indiana National Guard is drawing to a close and Company M will return home Monday evening on the 7:06 train. The camp has been the most enjoyable and instructive that has been held in a dozen years. It has been devoted to instruction instead of tiresome hikes, while the afternoons have been largely left without any drills until the parade at 5 o’clock. This meets the approval of all, and baseball games and preparation for the big field day events of Monday have entertained the athletically inclined. The field events eonsist of a tug of war, equipment race, competition company drill, rifle ealisthenic drill, relay races, etc. It is probable Company M will get in On some of the competitions, but as the entire brigade competes and some companies have been training for several months, not much is expected as a company. Company M has the largest company in the regiment, a total of 53 enlisted men and three officers. The minimum required In order to attend the camp is 38 men and 2 officers.

Company M has befen quite fortunate and in some respects honored during this tour of duty. In the first place our company street had a large oak tree right in the very center. This has been used as a lounging place for the men when off duty. The next company to our west was to have been Company D, of Ft. Wayne, but the company could not muster the required 38 and failed to report. This gave us a double width street and it is a fine one, too, and has been kept scrupulously clean all of the time. The incinerator meaiis of disposal of all refuse matter has been adopted. A hole 5x7 feet in diameter and 18 inches deep was dug, the earth being banked up around the edge. Rocks of, varying sizes were used to form a lining and then a fire was started. Not only the solids from the kitchen, but also the liquids, such as dishwater, etc., is burned. The water is poured over the rocks, which ale very hot, and it soon passes off ir> steam, every particle of the solids being burned, thus jsak’ng almost perfect sanitation. The gj-ftund is kept as clean as the floor of the most model kitchen. The cook shack and dining room is screened in and flies are “swatted” with a big swat all the time. Company M was called upon to furnish the color guard for the regiment, although Company I, of Plymouth, is the color company. Sergeants Thompson and Spate carry the colors and Privates Virgil Denniston and Jay Nowels are the guard.

Company M is the first company in the second battalion and gets on the firing line in each engagement. Against an imaginary foe last Thursday the battalion firing line was in charge of Captain Healey. The attack was made by rushes in a very creditable manper, as we were later informed by the regular army instructor and umpire.

Saturday we operated against an outlined enemy over ground that gave good opportunity for concealment part of the time. Company M was in platoons ana Sergeants Watson, Robinson, Thompson and Spate aided Lieutenants Tuteur and Garland in/ the advance and the company secured the crest of a hill 200 yards from the enemy and the umpires did not rule out a single man, because they .had hugged the ground ai|l kept low while advancing. The bayonet charge was made from the M 0 yard point. It was also wejl carried out. Corporal Paul Miller was detailed as a member of the provost guard for the entire tour of duty, and spends a bdg part of his time in town or on the street cars. All soldiers who try to get to the city without passes are placed under arrest. The guard keeps all soldiers out of saloons and siezee all liquor which the soldiers may dndertake to bring into camp. A ‘blind tiger” near the camp was raided by the provost guard and all the liquor siezed and the operator sent to jail In Indianapolis. Private William B.(Loy, who served in the Coast Artillery, and who enlisted In Company M the day before we came to camp, was assigned to brigade headquarters the first day and his soldiery qualities resulted in the detail being made permanent. He is an orderly for Major Bragg, the brigade adjutant. Private Frank Hitchcock has been asaigned to permanent duty at the horse corral. Sergeant Chesnut has been very valuable during the camp and has been in charge of patrols and scout squads, showing a special ability., in this direction, and has been commended by the higher officers tor

his caution and thorough investigation. Sergeant Edward L. Clark has made a fine quartermaster and Cook Louie Putts has made a fine coofe The mess has beep the best we have ever had and the men have been so well fed that many are gefching fat-on the job. Today’s’dinner has chicken as the big center atttaetion. Ten old hens were purchased and the aroma from the kettle bespeaks a fine dinner in ptospect. Governor Ralston is to review the brigade this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. It will be the first big parade. Tomorrow morning the big battle of the tour is to take place. Two regiments on the offensive will operate against one on tLte defensive There will be lots of blank ammunition used, yin the afternoon the field day events will take place and the soldiers will receive their government pay. Then the last parade will take place and the next day *e break camp. Private William Waymire is to sing in the regimental quartette at the religious service at 7 o’clock this evening. The chaplain of the regiment is Rev; Pettijohn, pastor of the M. E. church at Auburn. Me is taking a deep interest in the guard and is planning a “stunt” night for Monday. • Well, I have written a long letter, because I am interested and hope to interest Republican readers. I believe in the National Guard, in the value of the training to the young men, in the importance of having a trained secondary army, in the necessity of maintaining a state guard, which can be used by the governor when occasion demands. I believe that no young man should fail to serve one or more enlistments in the guard. It may be the training that will develop a military genius in some crisis which our country may face at some future time. It is a preparation, not fbr war, but against war, and is one of the guarantees of security Which we would mat have if we were less able to care for ourselves. v Next year Company M wants, to bring 75 men into camp. A's . Notes. The Newland platoon under Sergeant Spate has made a fine showing and has been right on the job. Corporals Harry Spate and Wjm Steel have done well Pewcomers. ■ ■; , _ ~ Sergeant John Robinson has kept up the spirits Of the company with some of hta original wit He says he never could understand why any person wanted to fight far the Efeg; when they could buy one for 10 cents. An informal .inspection made Sunday morning by Major Freyermuth found Co. M in good condition. Four of the squad tents were reported excellent and the best of the four was the last or "recruit” squad under Corporal Sharp. The rookies were delighted and say their tent will always be the best. A test for the regimental tug of war team was made this morning and Jay Nowels was the only one to make the team. Jay has a great “pull” and it is believed the third regiment will win the tug. ■ The ball game Friday between the third and first regiments resulted in a victory for the first. The score was 10 to 9. Private Elder was team captain and played a great game, but his support was bad. He played first base in great fashion and hit the bell to the tar fields. Saturday the second regiment defeated the first. Each member of the winning team gets a gold wateh fob. Many visitors are expected today and when not cleaning rifles the members of our company have been shaving, bathing or washing their clothes. A large map of Europe is displayed In front of Major Freyermuth’s tent and the positions of the German armies and the armies of the allies, as nearly as they can be ascertained are shown by eolored tacks. All officers seem thoroughly neutral In feeling and the only thing that excites them is the Japanese subject The little Jap don’t seem to have many admirers in the army. Shower baths are taken daily by almost every soldier. A big shower tent is at the end of the company street and there is no excuse for being dirty. . The biggest iee cream cones ever sold are furnished by the exchange run by 00. K of the 29th U. S. infantry. The cone is jammed full and then a dipper full put on top. Company M soldiers have been regular patrons of the dkebange. A picture and vaudeville show occupies a large tent on the grounds and does good business each night. Coach Vaughn, of Purdue, is here as a sergeant in the Crawfordsville company. He umpired the ball game Friday and gave splendid satisfaction. Captain Healey umpired the game Saturday and there were no complaints. Corporal Healey’s squad is called the ‘'blue ribbon” squad. This rer *. t ■r* 1 * . * I
