White Sox to Be at Lafayette Monday, August 30th.

Comiskey’s White Sox will W in Lafayette on August 30th bo meet the Red Sox of that city in an exhibition game. At the present time the white hose clan is making a desperate fight for the American League gonfalon and are only a few games behind the Red Hose in first place. Lafayette people as well as the fans for miles around will be able to see some of the greatest stars now in the national pasttime.

Manager Hughes has left no stone unturned in his efforts to make this day the greatest baseball day in the history of Lafayette and it is freely predicted that at least 10,000 fans Will be on hand when Eddie Murphy steps to the platter. Considering the great expense that Hughes has gone to, to give the fans a chance to see one of the greatest teams in the business, he should be rewarded by a great turn-out on this day. It is probable that Manager Rowland will let the fans see almost every man on the paynole of the White Sox, and this is a better chance to see them all than if you went to the White Sox park in Chicago.

Eddie Collins, ranked as the greatest second baseman in the game, will ')e in the lineup, as well as Joe Jackson, recently acquired from Cleveland, who, next to Ty, is ranked as the greatest outfielder in the game. Besides these celebrities there will be Buck Waver, Murphy, Scott, Benz, Russell, Cicotte, Faber, Blackbume, Felsch, John Collins, Schalk, Ed Walsh, Manager Rowland and several others. More will be on the firing line for Lafayette, with Schwab behind the log. The game is called for 3:15.

Parisian Sage makes dull and faded hair bright and lustrous.. It’s a necessity for all women who take pride in luxuriant and beautiful hair. Nothing better for dandruff, falling and splitting hair. B. F. Fendig guarantees it. Misses’ and childrens’ strap pumps, in velvet, white.canvas and leathers, specially priced to close out, at the Columbia.

GERMANY ASKS U. S. TO WAIT FOR FACTS

First Word From Germany Since the Sinking of Arabic—Asks That Judgment Be Withheld.

Germany, through her ambassador, Count Von Bemsdorff, Tuesday asked the United States not to take a final stand on the sinking of the liner Arabic until all the facts were known. It was the first word from Germany since the disaster. Count Bemsdorff, telegraphing from the summer embassy at Cedarhurst, L. 1., asked that no step be takeri until all the facts have been ascertained, and the German government has had opportunity to give its version of the sinking of the ship which cost the lives of two Americans, apparently in defiance of President Wilson's warning that such an act would be deliberately unfriendly. The ambassador’s telegram was not made public as officials were in some doubt whether to give it out here or wait for Count Bemsdorff to do so in New York.- Meanwhile they declined to discuss it. The state department can do nothing but wait for a reasonable time for word from Berlin. Ambassador Gerard has been instructed to watch for a report, but has not been told to ask for one.

U. S. ASKS CONTROL OF HAITI FOR 10 YEARS

New Government Requested" to Approve a Convention for American Administration In Haiti.

Turbulent Haiti’s new government has been asked by the United States to approve a convention under which for ten years the American government administer the finance and supervise the policing of the island republic.

A draft of the proposed treaty is now before the Haitien congress sitting at Port Au Prince, where American marines have been maintaining order since the recent killing of the president by revolutionists. Oocials here say the state department fixed no time limit upon consideration of its request but it is admitted that Charles Davis, who presented the treaty draft, might have asked, as press dispatches state, that approval he given at onfce. Now that action has become necessary, the administration does not intend to leave Haiti to her own resources again until necessary steps have been taken to prevent a recurrence of the events of the last eight years, during which the little republic has had eight president—most of them successful revolutionists —has been in constant trouble with her foreign debts and has been unable to guarantee the safety either of her own people or of foreigners.

Cow Absent For Nine Days Found By Accident.

Some two weeks age a cow belonging to Alfred Duggleby, of near Tefft, disappeared and not a trace of her could be found. Mr. Duggleby advertised for her in The Kankakee Valley Review. Monday some of the children on the Duggleby farm were engaged in a game of hide and seek. One of them saw a hole in a straw stack and climbed in there to hide and was greeted by a kick. He retreated and told of his experience and it was found that the cow was so deeply embedded in the straw that she could not get out apd a lot of digging with pitch forks had to be done to extract her. The cow had been in there for nine days without either water or feed other than the straw, and was quite thin but is expected to come out all right.

COMB SAGE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN IT

t’s Grandmother’s Recipe to Keep Her Locks Dark, Glossy, Thick. The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother’s treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product called “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound” for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a 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 produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive, besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.

CHAUTAUOUA TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE

Solicitors Will Call On You and All Should Buy, Thus Fulfilling the Pledge of Last ’Y«ar.

The chautauqua committee had a good meeting Tuesday evening and decided to make a complete canvass of Rensselaer sor t the sale of the season chautauqua tickets and to also extendi the canvass over a considerable part of the county. Pledges made last year should be met promptly so as to lighten the work of the solicitors whose sole object is in promoting the success of the chautauqua as an educational benefit to the community. The city was made into districts and a solicitor assigned to each and in order that the plan will work out systematically it is desired, that persons buy from the solicitor for your district who will either call at your house or at the place of business of some occupant of the home. The solicitors are Sylvester Gray, W. S. Day, B. Forsythe, Frank Kresler, D. ). Dean, C. E. Prior, Dr. E. N Loy, J. Frank Alter, C. M. Sands, Rev. Parrett, Rex Warner, Dr. W. L. Myer, Edd J. Randle and E. P. Honan.

The chautauqua starts Saturday, Sept. 4th and continues for six days. The program is a fine one and every person should arrange to attend, buying a season ticket or one for each member of the f amily. This year the talent will be cared for in private lomes in order to save that part of the expense and persons have volunteered to meet the talent in automobiles and others will erect the tent, thus providing for quite a saving. In this splendid enterprise every person should give all the aid they possibly can, for nothing comes to our city in the course of the year that is so elevating in every respect. Splendid music, refined entertainment, able ecturers and the best in the way of education compose the program. Be prepared to buy your tickets when the solicitor calls.
