Relatives of Father W. B. Hordeman Receive Cablegram

Father W. B. Hordeman, of Frankfort, who was raised in Rensselaer and whose father and brothers now live in or near this city, was touring in Germany when the war broke out and relatives have just received the first word from him. He sent a cablegram dated Sept. 4th which read: “Not traveling on account of war. Looking for first ship to get home. All is well.” It is not improbable that Father Hordeman will be able to get passage soon and relatives are expecting him almost any time. . The family of Henry Luers have heard nothing from him since receiving the card written on August Bth in which he said that he would probably be unable to star/ home for a long time.

Doan’s Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. No time wasted trying to cure other troubles. Rensselaer people endorse their merit. Jacob R. Wilcox, Dayton St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had pains through my loins and was in misery night and day. I always, felt tired and worn out and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement. The statement I gave a few years ago praising Doan’s Kidney Pills, holds good. The cure has been permanent” . ' Price 50c, at all dealers.

Bid of R H. & G. A. McWilliams Was 5»/ 2 Cents Per Yard-Many Contractors Present The Marble k ditch contract was let this afternoon. Of the thirty or forty firms present the bid of R. H. & G. A. (McWilliams of Chicago, was the lowest. It was for 5% cents per yard, which is just one cent per yard under the estimated cost. Engineer Hobbs, who presided at the opening of the bids, went into consultation with Attorneys Halleck and Potter after the bids wers opened.

Charity Board Has Placed Bowsher Girl in Hospital

Mrs. John I. Gwin returned Tuesday evening from Indianapolis, to which city she had taken Bessie Bowsher on Sunday, placing her in the Long hospital, which she states is the most elegant Hospital she ever visited. The Bowsher girl is eral months ago she underwent a about twenty years old and has been an invalid for a long time. Several months ago she underwent a surgical operation here, the United Charities-Board bearing the expense of her care at a private home. She has continued in very poor health and lately had become much worse and the Charity Board again took charge of the case with the resul 1 that she was taken to the state J pital in Indianapolis, where anoth er operation will probably be per formed as soon as the surgeon can complete a study of the case. Had it not been for the Charity Board it is probable that this gir' would have died, while now there is a chance to save her life.

U. S. Troops are to Leave Vera Cruz Before Long

It was agreed in Washington Tuesday that the United States troops under Gen. Fred Funston, stationed for several months at Vera Cruz, Mexico, shall leave that country and return to the United States.

The order for heir removal r.s publishe in Wash.gton is as follows: The troops have b'.en ordetw Jidrown from Vera Cruz. This action is taken in view of the entire removal of the circumstances which the troops is deemed unnecessary. The trops were regarded as a menace to friendship between this ountry and the new regime in Mexico. Some U. S. cruisers will probably patrol the coast for some time, as an assurance of protection to Americans who are now returning to their homes and interests tore.

“The Girl and the Tramp”

If a rattling good play full of funny situations, catchy song hits woven in a story of strong heart interest counts for anything, then “The Giri and the Tramp” which will be seen at the Opera House for one night only, next Wednesday, Sept. 24th, must be a winner.
