This pair will appear again this evening and we desire that no one will forget the location of the box office if dissatisfied.

Nathan’s two brothers, Peter, of Seigel, 111., and Thomas, of Monon, and their half sister, Mrs. Ed Lloyd, of Winamac, and members of their families were present.

Aged Mother of Silas Tooms Injured By Fall.

Mrs. Sarah J. Toombs, aged 80 years, mother of Silas Toombs, who lives on the Hollingsworth hoipesrtead farm, just west of the Zeigler farm, fell down a flight of stairs Wednesday afternoon at about 4 o'clock and was painfully and seriously injured. She had gone to the second floor of the house to get a small paring knife and became overbalanced just as she Started down the steps. She held to the knife and fell in such a manner that the sharp blade was forced almost through her left wrist. Her right forearm was broken and she suffered severe and painful bruises about the face and head, also injured her back and one knee. Owing to her advanced age the injuries will probably go hard with her. Dr. Johnson was called and attended the injured lady.

GREAT HURRICANE STRIKES TEXAS

Death Toll More Than 100 Lives an< Property Loss Runs Into Many Millions of Dollars. \ V \ A A hurricane Tuesday afternoon and night swept southwest Texas and claimed more than 100 lives and destroyed many millions of dollars worth of property. There was an immense loss to cotton growers in the storm belt, some estimates stating that 25 per cent of the. crop was destroyed. The oil fields also sueered severely and it is probable that it will take $500,000 to rebuild the destroyed derricks, etc. That the death list did not approach that of 1900 was due to two causes, the strength of the Galveston sea wall and the haste with which residents of the coastal plains sought places of refuge in conformity with the warnings of the government bureau.

Four soldiers were drowned in Galveston and ten were lost at Texas City. The Fort Crockett camp was wiped out and the army transport •Poe destroyed. Martial law was proclaimed in Galveston and Texas City and in the latter place a large sanitary corps was organized by the military authorities. Twenty-five members of the crew of the government dredge, San Bernardo, which sank in the intercostal canal below Galveston, are believed to have been drowned. The crew of 56 are reported lost.

E. Cornell, who had achieved success both as a concert-pianist and as a manager, and Mr. (Happy) Hal Price, who had attracted wide attention as a versatile comedian joined hands in the enterprise which was considered hazardous at that time but which is now regarded as a shining example of what enterprising young Americans can do, ’or they are now firmly established in the front ranks of the popular priced field. They change their plays every night and carry the scenery and the costumes for each.

Frank Maloy Reports Fine Crops in Canada.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Maloy, of Lowell, are visiting relatives in Rensselaer. Frank has just returned from a pleasant trip to Canada. He visitec the cities of Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, North Battleforc and New Battleford and had a fine time. The Canadians are confident that success will attend their arms in the war with Germany and Austria and can see nothing but victory. Recruiting is still being encouraget and sign boards are placarded with every conceivable phrase calculated to get young men into the army. Signs read: “Are you doing your bit?”, “Girls, have him enlist today,” and “For God and your King.” The premier of Saskatchewan proclaimed the entire province “dry” with the scratch of a pen on July Ist and Frgqk says: “Believe me, it’s dry.”

There are fine crops through Canada, just enough rains in most places and wheat and oats are % great crop. Harvesting has begun and Mr. Maloy says that some yields Will be sufficient to pay for the land. All of which recalls a little argument that occurred in Rensselaer last year when Theodore George, as the agent for Canadian lands, had his proposition so bitterly assailed by a local newspaper that did not get any of his advertising. Last year proved a poor year throughout much of Canada, but this year is just the reverse and prices will probably be very high. The following report of Frank’s Canadian visit is taken from The Lowell Tribune:

“Frank Maloy. who in conmany with John Jones went to North Battleford, Canada, two weeks ago, arrived home Monday night. Mr. Jones prolonged his stay to look after some land that jelonged to his father, Henry Jones, who died last May. Frank says they have a fine country where he visited and that crops are good there Jthis season. They have not had the severe rains that there have been prevalent in this country this season. Mr. Maoy is probably the first and only person from Lowell to contribute anything to the great Euronean war. He wrote several letters and cards while in Canada and on each he had to pay one cent war tax. He enjoyed the trip immensely and saw a great deal of the country. While gone Messrs. Maloy and Jones went to see Harry Schlakter, who formerly lived here. Harry has married since he left here and since going to Canada has acquired a 320 acre farm and is prospering.

Despondency Due to Indigestion. “About three months ago when I was suffemig from indigestion which caused headache and dizzy spells and made me feel tired and despondent, I >egan taking Chamberlain’s Tabets,” writes Mrs. Geo. Hon, Macedon, ST. Y. “This medicine proved to be the very thing I needed, as- one day’s treatment relieved me greatly. 1 used two bottles of Chamberlain’s Tablets and they rid me of this trou>le.” For sale by all dealers.

Another Detachment of Marines Laqded at Haiti.

Another detachment of American marines has been landed from the warships at the port Cape Haitien. The rebels refused to disarm and in some sections have expressed a desire to fight the Americans. The people of Cape Haitien are greatly excited, though no outbreak has taken place up to the present time. Foreigners at Port-au-Paix, a Haitien town 35 miles northwest of Cape Haitien, report that they are being menaced by Haitien rebels and they have requested that American forces tion is not considered serious.

Graves, Railroad St., says: “I had a severe attack of lumbago and my back became so stiff and gore that I could not stoop. I had a dull, throbbing ache through my kidneys and loins and a distressing kidney weakness. I doctored and used medicine of various kinds but nothing helped me until I took Doan’s Kidney Pills. This medicine went to the seat of the triable and three boxes made a cure." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Graves had.

FARM HAND SLAIN BY KNIFE THRUST

Harley Smith Plunged a Knife Into the Heart of Ellis Beazel During An Altercation. Fowler, Aug. 18.—Ellis Brazel, 21, was instantly killed on the Sumner farm, three miles west of Freeland Park, when he was stabtited in the heart by Harley Smith. The two men were assisting in thrashing, and the homicide grew out of an argument engaged in by the men during the morning. Both men were driving teams. Brazel was ahead of Smith, and, according to the latter’s statement to Sheriff Brown, of Watseka, he asked Brazel to watch his team when they stopped at the machine. He claims Brazel swore at him and said he would. While Smith was away his team broke a feed bof from Brazel’s wagon. This angered Brazel and he upbraided Smith about it. Both men became angry. During the dinner hour Brazel again wrought up the subject, and the men engaged in an altercation. Brazel was choking Smith, so it is claimed, when the latter drew a long knife from his pocket and plunged it into Brazel’s leart. Smith ran to a long hog shed and hid in a corner. Feeling ran high at the farm, but when the sheriff came le hurried away with his prisoner. Smith was ordered held without bail to await the action of the grand jury.

FACTS ABOUT MEXICO.

Indianapolis Star. The Philadelphia Public Ledger, believing that the American public should know the truth about Mexico and unable to reconcile the course of the administration with the facts that are known about conditions in the unhappy country, is publishing the reports of a special representative sent to investigate the situation. The first installment of the correspondent's story shows that Villa and his friends and associates, including •members of the Madero family, so often eulogized as idealists and highminded patriots, have been robbing the country for personal gain and for the purpose of raising money with which to buy arms. Notwithstanding the fact that the usual industries have come to a partial standstill, most of them to a complete one; that agriculture has, in many sections, been abandoned; that the people in many quarters are reduced to the starvation point, more than 10,000 car loads of Mexican products, mostly foodstuffs, were shipped out of the country, chiefly to American markets, during the eighteen months ending May 1, 1915, through El Paso alone. (The list includes 200 car loads of beans, a staple food among the peons, 2,308 car olads of cattle, 223 cars of beef, 122 cars of potatoes. Over a single railroad in the west —taken from American and English owners — more than 20,000,000 pounds of sugar, 7,000,000 pounds of tomatoes, 43,000,000 pounds of beans, 51,152 head of cattle were sent out of the country. In addition were 112,967 head of cattle on the hoof. Not a pound of freight crosses the northern border line but has paid its tribute to Villa. Much of the freight is said to be simply loot from the hapless producers, no thought being taken as to the products of the coming year. The figures given do not include heavy shipments of food and other products through other points than El Paso on the northern border and by way of gulf ports under the auspices of Carranza.

Meanwhile our government permits the shipment of arms and munitions into Mexico, and, according to a Washington official record, for the first month after the Taft embargo was raised, the shipments included 72,912 rifles, 34,808,186 rounds of cartridges, field artillery ammunition, 742,000 rounds; Hotchkiss and Gatling guns, 69, with minor munitions in proportion. The supplies since then, with .the exception of dressed meats, have not decreased and are being paid for, presumably, by the process of the loot. In May of this year the meats from Villa’s abattoirs in Jaurez were found by an honest United States government inspector to be unfit for American consumption and since then their importation has been forbidden. Ajid this ammunition will be used against American soldiers if they aw called upon to enforce peace m Mexico and our Red Cross is called on to feed starving Mexicans!
