BOYS’ JUDGING CONTEST AT STATE FAIR

Keep Girl’s Identity a Secret And Spirit Her From County.

Who was the young woman, hurt in an automobile accident between Crown Point and Cedar Lake Sunday, and why did her companions, even when she was badly hurt, refuse to stop in Lake county for medical attention, but rush her out of the county ? These questions are puzzling Lake county officials. '» Near the Pliske farm on the Cedar Lake road Sunday, a touring car negotiated a double turn into the ditch, spilling the occupants and badly injuring one of the parts, a young woman. The car bore an Illinois license plate, but further than that, reporters were unable to learn anything concerning the car or the occupants, or as to why they refused to stop in Lake county for medical treatment, which they were so badlj* in .need of. The parties did everything in their power to conceal their identities, and were successful in that they made no stops. The mystery is exciting a great deal of interest in Crown Point and Cedar Lake.

Frank Eck and Henry Barger, reprtsenting a number of farmers in Jordan township, went to Monon today to see about getting a thrashing machine to come to Jordan township and take care of a run which the owner had promised to thrash. The owner lived near Monticello and engaged to tihrash the Jordan township run after finishing one near Monticello. Messrs. Eck and Barger, however, learned that he had moved to another run near Monon and left them out and they went there to try to get him to fulfill his contract with them, T. M. Callahan and other onion farmers in the Newland fields do not hold out jnuch hope of any good resulting from the onions in that section where they were overflowed. One man informed The Republican Monday that he believed there would be some onions even where the water had stood oyer them for three weeks but others do not seem to hold that view. Even where the water did not stand on them at all but where they were kept wet for two or three weeks by the almost, constant rains there is small prospect of any onions that will be marketable.

ALL TIRED OUT

Hundreds Mows in Rensselaer in the Same Plight. 1 I ■ ■ Tired all the time; Weary and worn out night and day; Back aches; head aches. Your kidneys are probably weakened. You should help them at their work. Let one who knows tell you how. Mrs. Larkin Potts, Clark & Washington Sts., Rensselaer, says: “I was weak and nervous and had but Jfittle strength or ambition. I rested poorly and was subject to severe headaches and pains across my loins. I could hardly do my housework and I always felt tired and worn-out. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from Fendig’s Drug Store, gave me relief at once and before I had used them long, the aches and pains left. lam grateful to Doan’s Kidney Pills for what they have done for me.” Price 50c, at all dealers. ) Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Potts had.
