Newspapers Published in Trenches By French Soldiers.

The European war is not without its pleasures at the front and a number of newspapers are published in the trenches by the soldiers, among whom are many able newspapermen and cartoonists. An article from Paris tells of the collection of these publications in the libraries and they show a great cheerfulness and patriotism and a determination to make the most of their hardships. One paper *is called “Le Diable au Cor, which is the English for “The Devil of a Fellow.” Raymond Poincare, president of France, was a former officer in the Alpine Chasseurs, the outfit for which the paper is printed, and the soldiers are devoted to him. A letter he sent to them was published in a recent issue. There are many other publications, generally bearing some name suitable for a battle front newspaper.

The pain from my back extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. I got Doan's Kidney Pills at Fendig’s Drug Store and after taking a few doses, I Imew that I had at last found the medicine I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then, when having similar attacks and I have never failed to get relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

Auto and Interurban in Collision at Battle Ground.

Lafayette Journal: An automobile driven by Sherman Clark, of Andrew Place, in which were seated his wife, daughters and son, collided with an interurban car yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock at Battle Ground, but fortunatelq no one was injured. At the time of the accident Mr. Clark was driving east, a square south of the Walter drug store, and the clutch failed to take hold At once, permitting the aut oto crash into the car. Fortunately both were moving slowly. The car struck the auto a diagonal blow, turning it northward, the same direction in which the interurban was running. The auto was damaged to the extent of a broken spring, the front axle was bent and both lights broken. The interurban had the fender broken off and the front end of the vestibule dented. Mr. Clark and family returned to the city on the interurban and the auto was pulled in for repairs.

Municipal Swimming Pool Would Be a Good Thing.

Since the high water of the past week many have been taking daily dips in the river and the invigorating sport has started talk of a municipal swimming pool. Wolcott has one and it is well patronized and as Rensselaer is a much larger place it is certain that a swimming place would prove an enjoyment to a large number of people. Probably a pool 40x80 feet in dimensions would be about the right size. It would need to be built of concrete, have a fence around it, places to change clothes and a tower to dive from. Some have suggested that it might be built by subscription.

Saturday Markets For One Month.

We had another sharp rain Sunday, considerable water falling in a shower that lasted about 25 minutes. There was rain in other parts of the state that afternoon, several hours after the rain here. Some cellars were again flooded with water that backed up from inadequate sewers. The 8-year-old son of Dan Robinson, while engaged in a playful wrestle with John Hunt, about the same age, Sunday, had his trachea or windpipe so compressed that he could not get his breath for some time and a doctor was called. The lad, lowever, soon revived and without any serious consequences. The militia camp for the third regiment will be held Aug. Ist to Bth, lasting only eight days. Company M will go one week from next Sunday and return the following Sunday. Captain Tuteur expects to have about fifty members and is still taking enlistments for this camp. It is a fine experience and every young man who can do so should avail himself of it Alva McKenzie, the defaulting postmaster at Independence, was taken into custody Saturday and will be arraigned before Judge A B. Anderson in the federal court in Indianapolis today. McKenzie was unable to make good the shortage which amounted to $2,064.56 and failed to keep an appointment with the postoffice authorities in this city Friday. His bondsmen, John G. Heischman and John James, paid SSOO, the amount for which they were liable. A strange thing about the latter is that he should have given bond to the amount of $1,500 of which SSOO is on stamps and SI,OOO on the money order business. Only one of these bonds was filed and the government has no recourse except for the SSOO. —Lafayette Journal. Try nor C»a—Htort Colnnm.

Leo Frank Near Death From Stab.

Leo M. Frank, who recently had his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment by Gov. Slaton, is now laying in the Georgia state prison hospital with a fighting chance for recovery. Physicians have succeeded in stopping the flow of blood from a jagged wound in his throat made by William Green ,a fellow convict, also serving a life sentence. The blow was struck as Frank slept in his bunk in a dormitory late Sunday night. Green had called out to one of the guards for permission to get up and this was granted. He started down the line of bunks and as he reached the one occupied by Frank he quickly grabbed him by the hair and delivered one blow with the knife he had concealed. A guard rushed to the bunk and prevented him from striking again. An investigation will be made to determine if Creen had jplanned to act alone. It is thought that he was urged on by others.

The fountain was unveiled by a little granddaughter of Mr. Nichols. The ceremony was attended by a large crowd of. people, including J. RStemm, trainmaster, and E. W. Budd, roadmaster of the Monon railroad. While not expensive, the fountain is very attractive and is a splendid tribute to a faithful employe.

KENTLAND PEOPLE IN AN AUTO WRECK

William Noble and Others Injured When Car Turned Over East of Remington Sunday. An auto wreck occurred on the south road east of Remington about three-fourths of a mile, Sunday evening at about 6:30 o’clock, when a Ford driven by S. M. Noble, of Kentland, went into the ditch and turned over, pinning the occupants beneath the car. Mr. Noble is a merchant at Kentland. He is about 80 years of age and was driving the car. Apparently he had turned from the road to the grass and had skidded-into the ditch. Those who saw the scene of the wreck say that the machine must have alighted on the wheels in the ditch and the driver had endeavored to turn back to the road when it turned over. In the car with him was his wife, also Mrs. Catharine Largent and daughter, Mary, 6 years old, and Willie Noble, the 8-year-old grandson of the driver of the car.

The boy had his head cut. The little girl was injured in the back and apparently had internal injuries. It is feared she has a slight fracture of the skull. Mrs. Noble was injured on the right side and right arm and Mrs. Largent’s left side and arm and back were injured. All were taken to Dr. Besser’s hospital in Remington ancf it is expected will be unable to leave before Tuesday or later. The boy went home this Monday morning. Fred Gray, of Lochiel, happened along soon after the accident. Mr. Noble was dazed and was walking about in the road. All of the others were pinned beneath the machine. Mr. Gray succeeded in releasing the women and children and all were taken to Remington. While all were considerably injured it is probable that all will recover. The car was a 1909 Ford and was badly wrecked.

Made Trip to Lincoln To Buy Binder Engines.

L. H. Hamilton, of the firm of Hamilton & Kellner, arrived home Sunday from Lincoln, Neb., where he had made a hurried trip to purchase engines to be used on binders in an effort to harvest the oats and wheat crops. The engines propel the binding machinery, thus making it possible to run on ground too soft to propel the bull wheel. He was able to secure only three of the engines as the Cushman Engine Co., of Lincoln, is receiving orders for about 400 machines a day and can make only 52. The three purchased will go to Firman Thompson, W. C. Babcock and Floyd Amsler. Through Illinois Mr. Hamilton saw farmers plowing com and harvesting small grain and he believes conditions are worse in this part of Indiana than any place he saw. Many are still using cradles and binding by hand and every day witnesses the arrival of cradles by express.

British Civil Prisoners Well Treated in Germany.

James W. Gerard, American ambassador to Berlin, has sent to Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador to London, for the British government a report of conditions existing in the interment camp for British civil prisoners in Germany. There are 4,500 of these and all bat 500 are at Ruhleben camp, near Spandau. According to oar ambassador's investigation they are treated with every consideration. Eight large new barracks have been erected for them and the over-crowded conditions that first were complained of have been relieved.

Hoax Infernal Machine Sent To Governor of Minnesota.

A peculiar package was received at the office of Governor Hammond, of Minnesota, last Saturday. The governor was absent and his secretary opened the package. It contained a bottle which was thought until otherwise proven to be nitro-glycerine. A small wire attached the bottle to a large cartridge and a fuse was attached to the cartridge. The only note with the package said: “Enclosed find sample of my beard.” A printed sticker bore the words: “America’s Appeal—ln the name of one God and universal humanity—stop this war.” The box contained a small mirror, some hair, apparently from a mattress and not the wriskers of the sender, a toy pistol, a cuff link corroded with age and several medicinal pills. The bottle proved not to contain any high explosive and there was no manner of setting it off, so far as discovered. Evidently it wae the act of a freak.
