Another close call from drowning occurred Wednesday when Clifford Haan and his little sister, Mariana, were aided in getting out of a bad place. Clifford was taking Mariana bathing and he stepped into the water and his feet were caught in a rope and he fell over and both were floated some distance in the swift current and went under two or three times. Finally Clifford caught hold of a clump of willows and held fast but he did not have enough strength to get his little sister to the shore. George Fate, who is a good swimmer, although far from mature, swam .out and took Mariana to the shore and Clifford was able to take care of himself after a little rest. There was another brisk shower yesterday afternoon and there was a little sprinkle this morning, while this afternoon there is indication of more water fall. The wet ground caused many who had planned to go to the picnic to remain away and the affair will probably not be nearly as pleasant as had been expected, but enough are expected to hold the soft ball game at least Mrs. C. W. Eger was taken to Chicago today to undergo a surgical operation for the removal of her tonsils and will probably remain at the hospital for some time. She has been quite poorly since she suffered an attack'of tonsilitis some time ago and it is believed the tonsils are the cause of her trouble. Her husband and Dr. E. N. Loy accompanied her and Mrs. Mary D. Eger will go to the city in a day or two to be with her for some time. Mrs. Roy Stephenson, of Bonesteel, S. Dak., is here to visit her mother, Mrs. Eleanor Adams and family, and will probably remain about a month. Roy is prospecting with a view to taking out a claim during her absence. He is still railroading and expects to continue in that capacity but he can prove up a place by living on it part time and may decide to do so. Another daughter of Mrs. Adams, namely, Mrs. J. H. Sayler, of Mitchell, S. Dak., is also expected today. President Kurrie, of the Monon, and Mayor Spitler, City Attorney Leopold and Councilmen Kresler and Warner had a conference yesterday about the water for the engines for the Monon at this point. The railroad company now pays the city S6OO per year for water and President Kurrie does not want the cost to greatly exceed that amount, but fears that the new rate that is to be in force when the meters are installed will increase the nr He stated that he was wlding give it a trial and this will be done. The monthly rate as established by the council and approved by the Public Service Commission is for 25 cents for the first 9,000 gallons, 20 cents for the next 20,000 gallons, 15 cents for the next 20,000 gallons, 10 cents for the next 300,000 gallons and for all above 979,000 gallons 5 cents for 1,000 gallons. The city needs the Monon business and the Monon wants to give it provided the rate is not so high that it would not be good economy to pump it independently.

Body of Sylvester Hatton Taken to Momence for Burial.

The body of Sylvester Hatton, whose death occurred here Wednesday, was taken to Momence, HL, this Friday morning, for burial. Mr. Hatton had long been an invalid, suffering from heart trouble and on many occasions during the past year he had become so poorly that it seemed he could not live. From many of the attacks he rallied, but only to suffer another before long until finally he passed away. He is survived by eight children, namely, Mrs. Ida Dowsey, Monticello; Mrs. Esther Witham and Miss Laura Hatton, Rensselaer; Ernest Hatton, Monticello; William M. Hatton, Lowell; Frank Hatton, Shelby; George Hatton, Momence; and Mrs. Bertha R. Chappell, Grant Park.

AWFUL MONSTER; NO IT AIN’T,YES'TIS

Whatever-it-ii Causes Much Worry and the Division of Opinion in Peaceful Town. CAUSES CELIARS TO BE FLOODED Roots, Bays Bewsr Inspector GeneralEscaped Zippotherantheus, Baya Circus Scientist. Geneva, Ohio. —Barnum had his Whlt-isdt, his successors had their Human and Animal Enigmas and museums have mystified the world and made money with their Thinking Automatons grim, iron vlsaged figures that beat all comers at checkers or or for the small expenditure of a dime handed the investor his or her fortune neatly printed and inclosed in neat and sealed envelope. It remained for Geneva, however, to produce the whatever-lt-ls, a fierce looking, awful monster that has been taken from the darkest precincts of our village sewer, and which has divided our generally peaceful residents Into two armies of wildly excited verbal contenders. At the head of one army is General Edward Towne, sewer Inspector extraordinary—that is, extraordinary Inasmuch as he’s some more sewer Inspector. At the head of the other array—faction, If this term suits antiwar readers better—ls Gen. Tom J. Forde, inventor and circus man even before Walter Main dreamed of building his winter quarters here. Let’s call what’s been said a prelude and begin the real story here. The curtain rises on the main action. The scene shows scores of cellars in Geneva filling with water which has backed up from Geneva’s sewer lines. A hurry call is sent for Gen. Edward Towne, sewer luspector extraordinary. The sewer at a certain place is uncovered and thfsre before the very eyes of a crowd of terrified onlookers is a monster with so many tentacles, or whatever you call them, that even a senior In a first-grade high school couldn’t count ’em. Anyway, Gen. Tom J. Forde, circus man, calls It a monster. Here’s where the trouble comes In. Everybody In Geneva doesn’t agree with Gen. Tom J. Forde, Inventor and circus man. There’s division of opinion in Geneva and citizens take the difference seriously. While scores of honest-to-goodnessly brave men argued the Wat-ever-lt-is in the sewer wasn’t a real for sure monster, there was only one man in all Geneva who carried life Insurance enough to warrant him to attempt removal from the sewer es the aforesaid What-ever-lt-is. That man was Gen. Tom J. Forde, inventor and circus man. Everybody agreed to that. Well, to stretch out a long story, Gen. Tom J. Forde, Inyentor and circus man, was notified. Would he attempt the capture or removal of the Whatever-lt-ls from the sewer of our fair Geneva! Would he? Would he? He would. It was dark down there In the sewer, but Gen. Tom J. Forde, Inventor and circus man, braved the terrors while Geneva gasped, prayed, laughed or mentally applauded. Zip! Just like that, and the What-ever-it-ls was captured. A shout of triumph came from the sewer. Block and tackle quickly were obtained, and the Whatever-lt-ls as quickly was hoisted to the surface. Aha! Gen. Tom J. Forde, inventor and circus man, took one look and was convinced that the Whatever-lt-ls (let’s remain neutral) is the petrified corpse of a monster zippotherantheus that escaped from his menagerie 20 years ago when it was in winter quarters in Geneva. Gen. Tom J. Forde, inventor and circus man, says the Whatever it-ls, or zlppothe-the- (see what we wrote above) Is of priceless value. Gen. Edward Towne, sewer inspector extraordinary, contends the Whatever-lt-ls —zlppolococus—or what Gen. Tom J. Forde calls it—ls an abnormal growth of poplar roots. And here’s where the Geneva mlxup comes in, where all Geneva is divided Into two parts; one supporting Gen. Tom J. Forde, inventor and circus man even before Walter Main dreamed of building his winter quarters here; the other backing Gen. Edward Towne, sewer inspector extraordinary s— and then some.

Austria Protests Our Right to Sell Munitions.

A note from Austria, the text of which has not yet been published, has been received by the United States. The Austrian government says that our extensive shipments of war supplies from this country to the allies was “not in consonance with the definition of neutrality.” It is understood that Turkey will follow with a protest of the same nature. Germany is thought to be behind both of these and in that case the three countries may be answered in one note which will point out things of a similar character carried out during wars in which this country has participated. The reply to Austria, if sent singularly, will probably be ready in a fortnight. Our government seems to be doing quite a rushing note business right now.

T. M. Callahan made a trip to Chicago today. Firman Thompson made a trip to Chicago today. W. V. Porter and B. D. McColly made a visit to Joliet, 111., today. Michigan City and Monon are to play ball at the latter place Sunday. Ross Dean came down today from Chicago University to spend the week end. Mrs. John Maxwell and son, Wilfred, went to Flora today where they vill visit Mrs. Maxwell’s daughter, Mrs. Jess Purdem, for a few days. Henry Conn, a Remington citizen who imbibed too freely from a flask some three weeks ago, will complete a twenty days’ jail sentence tomorrow. Frank Ham and daughter, Mariana, went to Lafayette today. He will return this evening but she will remain for two or three days with Miss Gladys Rogers. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Richards, of Terre Haute, who have been visiting her sister, Mrs. Charles Clift and family for the past week, went to Chicago today for a visit of several days. Rev. J. Ford Rainier and family, of Indianapolis, arrived here last night and stayed with O. K. Rainier. They are just returning from a trip to Wisconsin and left this afternoon in their car for Indianapolis. Mrs. E. Aiderman and daughter, who have been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Timmons, left today for their home in Benton, Harbor, Mich., and her sister, Nellie and brother Glen went with them for a short visit. O. M. Thomas, of Lima, Ohio, came over this week to see about his Laura onion farm. He had some twenty acres out and had fine prospects and indications prior to the rain were favorable for a crop of from 6,000 to 10,000 bushels. The rain caused a complete loss, he thinks, and he returned to Lima today. His potatoes, hay and sugar beets seem to have met the same fate. John McCurtain, the man who escaped from the insane asylum at Logansport Tuesday night, has not yet been apprehended and it is believed he has left the country. It is feared that he will molest his wife and children a; Parr, and he was in jail when declared insane following an escapade of several weeks ago when he got a shotgun and threatened his wife.

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don’t Stay Gray! Here’s An Old-Time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well known druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant. Full sunlight is 600,000 times brighter than full moonlight.
