SHOW OF 1916 MOTOR CARS AT INDIANA STATE FAIR

Two U. S. Battleships Sail For Vera Cruz.

Two American battleships, the Louisiana and the New Hampshire, sailed Tuesday night from Newport, R. 1., for Vera Cruz in response to an urgent request from Commander McNamee that his little fleet of gunboats in Mexican waters be reinforced in view of the anti-foreign demonstrations at General Carranza’s capital. It is understood that President Wilson himself ordered the warships sent. Care has been taken to point out that any naval or military activity at this time would be purely precautionary to safeguard foreign interests and could not be Construed as having any connection with the Pan-American conference which is to be resumed in New York today (Wednesday) to complete a program for bringing about a restoration of government in Mexico.

Steamer Eastland to Be Raised From River Today.

The steamer Eastland, the capsizing of which cost nearly a thousand lives on July 24th, will be raised today, according to a statement by C. F. Clyne, U. S. district attorney. The district attorney returned Tuesday from a trip to Washington, but refused to divulge any information regarding his trip. The raising of the steamer is awaited with considerable anxiety, owing to the belief in many quarters that the bodies of many reported missing will be found in the hull. The socalled “floating morgue,” a canvas covered scow, was moored near the Eastland Tuesday and coffins prepared for the bodies that may be recovered.

eluded in the new speed creations for next year. Automobile prices are finding new levels and the cars are every day coining within reach of many thousand people who have heretofore been unable to own one. The makers have about reached the “last word” in car building, equipment and decoration, and before a new car is purchased, what all makers have to offer should be seen at the State Fair show, where the different makes, standing side by side, can be compared.

Chas. Stalbaum transacted business at Wheatfield Tuesday. The hum of the threshing machine is heard in all directions this week. Thos. Maloney and family autoed Saturday to Wheatfield. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Peregrine autoed Tuesday to Wheatfield. The usual big crowd attended the dance of the Parisian Club last Saturday evening. The big dredge was delayed some this week on account of a breakdown to the machinery. The county commissioners of Porter county at their regular session last Monday granted a renewal of the saloon license to Leonard Burrows. The renewal has been under consideration for over two months on account of a remonstrance by parties opposed to the Burrows Camp saloon. The hearing on the contest occupied more than a day’s time of the commissioners. John A. Ross and daughter, Miss Dorothy, and Misses Mary Flora and Ruth Pavey were in Rensselaer a short time today on their wav to their home in Frankfort after an auto trip to Boone, lowa. They passed through here on their way to lowa two weeks ago tomorrow. Home Missionary Society of Presbyterian church will hold a picnic supper this evening at 6:30 o’clock on the lawn of the church if the weather is suitable; otherwise in the basement of the church.

Martin L. Ford, a well known farmer residing in Hanging Grove township, has sold his farm of 120 acres to Ed Cook, son of Simon Cook, and the deal will be concluded the first of next March.

For the eighth time within a few months a large motor fire truck purchased by the city for $5,000, broke down yesterday while the company was answering a fire call. The stripping of the gears had caused the truck to be put out of commission each time. A team of horses was pressed into service and hitched to an old fire wagon to answer the alarm, but the property valued at $3,500, was virtually destroyed before the department arrived at the fire.—Frankfort Crescent-News.

Harve Hemphill was fined $1 and costs, amounting to SB.BO, for speeding in Max Kepner’s “skeeter.” Harve is not one of the wild drivers of the town and this was probably his first offense. The “skeeter” is geared up quite high and sometimes goes faster than the driver might realize and this probably occurred to Harve. Others who drive recklessly should get in line and obey the law. The wirter saw a car unlighted and driven on the left side of the street after dusk hit up a pace of 30 miles an hour Monday evening. Three or four young fellows were in the car but none were recognizable. There is az general violation of the “tail’ light requirement. One man counted eleven machines without lights before he saw one with a tail light one evening recently.

Monticello will have a carnival again this year, the William Gause company returning there the last of this month or the first of next.

z lt is always a good time to load your shotgun for chicken thieves. Last evening L. A. Harmon and B. N. Fendig were attracted by a commotion at the Rishling & Murray poultry yards and after trying all the doors and finding them locked tried to get Mr. Rishling by telephone. The noise subsided when the men were near the poultry house, but began again when they went a shftrt distance away. The proprietors could not discover any shortage of chickens and it is possible that if there was a thief he was frightened away. Don’t put off advertising anything try oui classified coiumn.
