Bank Teller Confesses To Theft of Large Sum.

Leo Perrin, deposed paying teller of the Cedar Rapids National Bank, was placed under arrest Thursday night, charged with embezzlement of $20,000 from that institution. Perrin was arrested after he was said to have confessed for the second time that money lost by the bank on Aug. 4, supposedly in a hold-up, really was taken by him. According to bank officials, Perrin explained, however, that the money was not obtained on Aug. 4th. Half of it, they say, was taken a year ago and the remainder on August 3rd. The bogus holdup, Perrin was quoted as saying, was staged the day following the second theft because he feared discovery. Perrin was taken before a justice of the peace; where he pleaded not guilty and was placed under $5,000 bail.

SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR

It’s Grandmother’s Recipe to Restore Color, Gloss and Thickness. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell, it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is that ,besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.

Mr. Stansbury sent word from Williamsport that he would bring a lot of his townsmen with him to the picnic, the party to come in autos. A fleet of autos from Gary, probably to be headed by Admiral Pontus Heintz, will dare the Kankakee floods and proceed to Cook to escort Mr. Stansbury and party to the haven of joy at Cedar Lake.

Close Call For Autoists When Monon Train Wrecks Machine.

The experience of having their automobile struck by a fast Monon passenger train and living to tell about it was that of I. L. Hufford, of Rossville, and his sons, Ralph and Paul, and A. G. Campbell, of Indianapolis, Sunday night. The accident occurred at the Monon crossing one mile north of Rossville. The road leads through a steep embankment at this point, cutting off a view of the tracks. As the auto neared the tracks the autoists beheld the train bearing down upon them. All jumped to safety except Mr. Hufford, who remained at the wheel of the machine. The pilot of the engine struck the beak of the auto, dashing it from the road almost a complete wreck. Hufford was uninjured excepting a few slight cuts from the broken windshield.

ITALY AND TURKEY ON VERGE OF WAR

Prospects of An Early Declaration of War By’ Italy On Turkey—Russ Are Still Retreating. The prospects of an early declaration of war by Italy on Turkey loomed larger Thursday night when unofficial reports stated that all Italian consuls had been recalled from Turkish territory. „ This news comes to this country through a Paris paper which in turn quotes a Vienna paper. The significance of an Italian-Turk-ish break just now is very great in the minds of British military critics, who see in the Italian navy and land forces an aid of inestimable value to the allied forces operating in the Dardanelles. It has been konwn for some time that the Turkish-Italian relations were at the breaking point, and the main question remaining has been merely which would take the initiative in declaring hostilities. The situation in the eastern theatre of war remains practically the same, the Germans continuing their steady pressing back of the Russians. The capture of Knovo, the important Russian town in the Dvina region, for the possession of which the Germans have sacrificed many lives, has been announced officially in the German communication issued at Berlin Thursday. In addition it is asserted that the Germans continue their advances along the entire eastern front, discrediting the reports of Russian successes in the north. These Russian victories, if such they may be called, appear now only to have been local successes, for it is apparent that the main German advance has not been checked, and that the two arms of the German triangle is steadily closing in upon the Russians, threatening to make their prepared positions in the rear of Warsaw untenable.

Van Rensselaer Club Held Annual Picnic at Cedar Lake Thursday.

Despite the rain which fell throughout the entire day, the Van Rensselaer Club’s annual picnic was held at Cedar Lake Thursday. The weather did not dampen the ardor of the picnickers in the least and all reported a great time. The only thing that the. “Old man with a grouch” did prevent was a larger number from going. About twenty-two were present, while if the weather had been better there would probably have been a hundred or more there. The day was spent in boating, swimming, dancing and card playing. Miss* Ruth Wood gave several vocal selections. The club enjoyed the exclusive privilege o fthe grounds. Lassen Brothers served the excursionists with their meals and music, which was secured from Chicago. Fried chicken, corn on the cob, etc., were served to the hungry members. Mike Wagner was not feeling very well, hence could not partake of so much of the choice morsels as his more fortunate brothers, but managed to get away with two fried chickens and seven roasting ears for dinner, at five rows a time, besides eating all the rye bread that could be found at the lake. Percy Hauter was not far behind when he finished.

Four Killed, Thirty Hurt, In Wreck of Picnic Train.

Four persons were killed and more than a score were injured, some of them seriously, early Thursday morning when a heavily loaded freight train crashed into a special train bearing a party of members of the Knights of Pythias lodge of Mt. Sterling, Ohio, many of them accompanied by their wives or other members of their families. The accident occurred at Orient station, on th© Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern road, fourteen miles south of Columbus. The excursionists were returning from an annual outing at Cedar Point, near Sandusky.- The excursion train had stopped to take water when the freight crashed into it. Fifteen of the injured were taken to Columbus on a special train and placed in hospitals. It is said that an equal number were taken to their homes in Mt. Sterling, making the total number injured at least thirty.

Billy Martin, Horse Jockey, Slaps Girl In Kentland.

Billy Margin, a horse jockey, and quite well known here, slapped a girl at Enos Sunday while intoxicated and landed in the jail at Kentland. Sunday had been spent in Chicago with a friend who gave his name as Blikenstaff. It seems obvious that the two put much lubricant under their belts. They returned to Enos Sunday evening, where they seem to have had a little trouble which ended when Martin slapped a girl in the face. The two men were placed under arrest and taken to Morocco for trial. Martin pleaded guilty and was fined $17.50 for slapping the girl and a like amount for drunkenness. His partner stood trial and was also fined $17.50. Sheriff Hess then took the two to Kentland and lodged them in jail. The girl in question is the daughter of Oscar Lyman, living near Kentland.

Texas Rangers Kill Three. Mexicans and Take 21 Horses.

Brownsville, Texas., Aug. 12.—The killing today of three Mexicans near Mercedes, Hidalgo county, Texas, and the capture of 21 saddle horses belonging to the bandits in the same vicinity, led to the belief that at least one of the bands of Mexican raiders had been scattered. Late today Texas rangers in Hidalgo county chased a party of eight Mexicans across the Rio Grande. Seating themselves on the opposite bank, the Mexicans defied the rangers, declaring that they were the leaders of the raiders the American officers were seeking. The rangers withdrew. It was believed the Mexicans were part of the band which abandoned their horses earlier in the day and took to the brush. Two Mexicans held up and robbed a farmer early this evening near Edinburg, according to reports received here at midnight. He has asked for help.

Mayor Bell, of Indianapolis, To Go On Trial September 7.

After overruling the motion to quash the indictments against Thomas Taggart, Mayor Joseph E. Bell and more than a hundred others charged with election frauds, Special Judge W. H. Eichom set the trial of Mayor Bell for Sept. 7th. Mr. Taggart wanted his case tried as soon as possible, but the prosecution decided to put the mayor’s case ahead. The trial of Bud Gibson, who also is charged with election irregularities is set for August 30, and the prosecution did not wish to have two trials on hand at the same time. In rendering his decision on the motion to quash, Judge Eichom held that five points of the indictments were insufficient. He decided, however, that the defendants should be tried on the forty-three remaining counts. Buy your threshing coal of Hamilton & Kellner.

“BILL” GORDON AND ELMER MEAD FINED

Rain and Gloom Cause Thirsty Inhabitants to Partake Too Liberally of Tanglefoot. “Bill” Gordon and Elmer Meade decided that they ought to get drunk Thursday and proceeded to do so at once. Evidently Bill and Elmer thought that the rain, which fell incessantly throughout the day, and the gloom which pervaded the atmosphere were sufficient reasons for their falling off the water cart, but evidently the law thought that they were not. After partaking of their favorite beverage for some time Bill and Elmer became quite a nuisance to the public and they were marched off to the county calaboose to spend the night and also to give them sufficient time to sober up and think it over. They were haled into Squire Woodhull I. Spitler’s court this Friday morning, where they pleaded guilty and were fined. Gordon, was fined $3 and costs, amounting to SIO.BO in all, which he was unable to pay, and at the time we go to press was still in jail. Meade was fined $2 and trimmings, which amounted to $10.05 in all, which he paid.

LAST CALL Ford Owners Listen The Safety Ford Starter saves gasoline and oil. It has been proven that a Ford car fitted with a Safety Ford Starter will save from 4 to 10 gallons of gasoline and oil a week. How many, times will a driver of a Ford stop to talk for a minute, and that minute runs into many minutes and all the time his motor is kept running, burning his gas and running his engine hot. The worst thing a driver of a Ford can do to his engine is to let it run while standing still. The motor has no chance to get cooling air when standing still. Ford Owners Listen Saturday is the last day I will install the Safety Ford Starters FREE. After Saturday, Aug. 14, the Safety Ford Starter will cost sls, and the installing of the starter will cost $1.50 and as usual four extra dry cells will cost -sl, making it cost $17.50. The demand is so great for this new and practical invention that there may be another raise in price within two weeks. Every Safety FocdStarter is Guaranteed They save you from continually getting out in the mud. They don’t effect ypur power in your engine. They are called Safety Ford Starters because they are safe for a little girl to start. There is no back fire to knock your arm off or your side in. The Ford Safety Starter has proven the only starter worth while to an owner of a Ford car. They increase the value of a car from 50 to 100 per cent. If a Ford owner has a car for sale let him equip it with a Safety Ford Starter and see how quickly he can dispose of it at an increased price. 1,140 Safety Ford Starters sold in Chicago in two weeks. 26 Safety Ford Starters sold in White county in five days.
