CHICAGO TO HAVE BIGGEST ROUND-UP

To Be Held in Conjunction With Big Spectacles at Old Cubs Ball Park August 19th to 27th.

When a western city does anything “it does it.” When Chicago had its big preparedness parade- it had more people and more bands in line than did staid old New York. When the leading public spirited citiczns of Chicago Concluded to have a “Round Up”there whs but one question—it must be the biggest and most exhaustive collection of westerners ever assembled—sufficient prizes and inducements must be offered to attract more participants than had ever been assembled on any similar occasion. After the above idea had become a fact, a number of the leading citizens wanted to make the affair an artistic as well as championship “epoch” and the spectacles “The Birth and Passing of the West” and the present period subject “Preparedness,” were added. In addition to those participating in the “Round Up,” more than one thousand men, women, Indians and horses will be used in the spectacles. The scenic equipment will consist of “Runs,” “Relays” and “Backings” to the summit of a mountain peak, in actual height more than fifty feet and a length of more than nine hundren. Only out of doors could such a vast expanse be constructed. The well known New York Hippodrome stage would be lost in one of the ravines, or hidden from view by any of the ‘many miniature mountains.

MRS. A G. CATT PASSES AWAY

Well Known Lady Died Thursday Afternoon at 4:30 Following a Lingering Illness. Mrs. A. G. Catt passed away at her home on South River street Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, following a lingering illness of several months. Death was due to a rare form of tuberculosis, known as “Addison’s Disease,” which affects the glands and especially those just above the kidneys. Mrs. Catt had been in poor health for several years prior to her death and during the past several weeks she was uanble to leave her room, gradually sinking to her last rest Thursday. Mrs. Catt was the daughter of Joseph Kight, of Thayer, and would have been 38 years of age on October 17th of this year. She was married seventeen years ago this fall to Dr. A. GCatt, of this city, and since that time had spent most of her life in Rensselaer, where she endeared herself to all who knew her. Mrs. Catt joined the Christian church about ten years ago and whenever her health permitted her to do so she took active part in church work. Mrs. Catt’s death, while not unexpected, came as a shock to the community in general and her death removes a beautiful character from our midst and her passing at so early a stage of life makes her death even more a sad one. The funeral will be held at her late residence Sunday afternoon at 2:0') o’clock, and the funeral services will be conducted by Rev. W. G. Winn, formerly pastor of the Christian church of this city, but now of Chicago.

Indiana Soldiers Are Subjected To Many Severe Storms.

From the time the Indiana troops detrained at the Mercedes, camp, they have been in the midst of tropical storms and there is no telling how much longer the storms will last. There is a saying in Mercedes that only strangers and fools attempt to make any predictions about weather. And yet the Indiana soldiers are enjoying life and there is not,-accord-ing to reports of the medical officers, a single case of sickness among them. There are several kinds of nostalgia, but homesickness will be found in any kind of weather and in all places. The electrical storms that troops experienced at Fort Harrison before they started south are gentle showers compared to the storms they are experiencing in Mercedes, except there is little wind and yet through it all the Indiana soldiers are leading an indifferent life and making few complaints. In some places there are little rivers and lakes and these have bred a billion mosquitoes to the square inch, which is about the worst thing the soldiers have to contend with.

The heavy rains have caused a delay in completing the water supply system, but the soldiers are able to catch buckets of rain water, which is the best water after all for them, and water from the irrigation canals is being hauled in tanks to the camps, so, inTact, the delay in putting in the pipes for the water supply, although it has caused some inconveniences, has- not resulted in any danger to the health of the soldiers. The troops brought with them rations that will last for several days to come and before these are exhausted the government will have in the camp a food supply consisting of such commodities as are to be found at a general grocery store, cutting out the fancy articles. ‘ The ration for each man costs the government a little more than 28c a day and consists of an average of four pounds a day to a man. The ration is composed of three-quarters of a pound of fresh bacon, or fresh meat, one pound of onions or potatoes, one pound of flour or one pound of hard bread, or one and one-eighth pounds of fresh bread; eight pounds of coffee and fifteen pounds of sugar for each hundrd men, and in addition pepper, salt, vinegar and mustard and other condiments are served. In addition, the farmers are bringing in fresh butter, fresh milk and young chickens. An amusing instance is told of a bunch of Monticello privates. They were seated on the wet grass and around them was an assortment of empty paper boxes, empty tin cans, old newspapers and discarded army shorts, when one of Col. Blockson’s aides stopped. “Here, you men will have to clean that stuff up.” “Who says so?” spoke up one of the soldier lads.,<© “It’s general orders,” was the reply he got. “Well, you tell General Orders if he wants this stuff picked up, ha come here and pick it’ up himself,” shotted one of the Monticello lads as the aide galloped on. This got out in camp

SHERIFF M’COLLY EXPLODES THEORY

Decatur Lyon Thought By Sheriff and Other Officials to Have Been a Suicide.

The murder theory in relation to the death of Decatur Lyon wa£ exploded Thursday evening, following a conference between Sheriff B. D. McColly, of Jasper county, and W. S. Lindall, sheriff of Porter county, at Valparaiso. Wild rumors have been current the past few days, but the matter has now been put to rest as far as these two sheriffs are concerned. Sheriff McColly went to Valparaiso Wednesday to investigate the case, and the Valparaiso Vidette tells of his visit to that city and of his conference with Sheriff Lindall. Mr. McColly and Sheriff Lindall were sitting together in the latter’s office Thursday morning. Mr. McColly smoked a big cigar and beamed thoughtfully as he recalled some of the blood and thunder tales of the press, due partially to fantastic imaginings of people on the scene of Lyon s death and partially to pipe dreams of reporters. Mr. McColly told of the autopsy held by Drs. Fyfe and Hewitt, and the inquest conducted by Justice Greve at DeMotte. - There were absolutely no marks of violence on Lyon’s body, Sheriff McColly said, and the lungs were filled with water. He had trouble, his father told the coroper’s jury, and had remarked that he would rather be dead than alive. After that the son got some money from his parents at Kouts, went to Chicago and instead of buying a railroad ticket, he procured a labor ticket for two dollars, allowing him shipment with others to North Dakota. Instead of using this he returned to Baum’s bridge, and the supposition is that he jumped into the pond in the woods. When found the nose and one cheek were eaten by the turtles and this may have led to the belief that murder had been committed. However, Sheriff McColly will find numerous people who will contradict some of his statements, according to the Vidette. Undertaker Kosanke who was on the scene at the rescue of the dead body, will never believe that the man willfully jumped into the water. Arrangements were made Wednesday night by members of Lyon’s family to exhume the body at Kouts Thursday. A new clue was found, it was declared by some of them.

Armed shark shooters in motor boats are patrolling the New York and New Jersey coasts, while others line the beaches in a concerted effort to exterminate the man-eating sharks which have moved to the northward from their customary haunts, apparently in alrge numbers. The village authorities of Mattewan, New Jersey, have offered a reward of SIOO for every shark brought in, dead or alive.

Gan Sleep Until CalleiHo Wreck Before Taking Tanlac M. L. McGlynnon Just Tossed About in Bed Awaiting Call Evansville, Ind., July 12, 1916. —M. L. McGlynnon, wrecking foreman for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, who lives at 24 Broadway, Howell, Ind., is one of the thousands of Indiana people who have been relieved of troubles by Tanlac, the Master Medicine. Mr. McGlynnon said: “My digestion was very poor and I was in a nervous condition. I ate almost nothing, just enough to keep me going. My nerves were all shot to pieces. I couldn’t sleep at night, but would just toss about in bed awaiting a call to a wreck. “The very first bottle of Tanlac helped me. My digestion was very much improved and the nervousness was greatly relieved. I’m able to sleep now and I recommend Tanlac to any one afflicted as I was. I intend to continue the use of Tanlac.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine, referred to by Mr. McGlynnon, is excellent as an invigorant, tonic, appetizer and blood purifier, and is especially beneficial for stomach, kidney and liver troubles and affections of the mucus membranes. Tanlac is sold exclusively in Rensselaer at Larsh & Hopkins’ drug store.

and that’s why the Monticello company is known in camp as General Orders. _

Eastern Guardsmen Rob Ohio Beaneries; Foodless 36 Hours.

Cleveland, July 13. —Seven hundred militiamen from eastern states passing through Cleveland over the Nickel Plate railroad, left the train this evening when it stopped at the Broadway East Ninth street depot and proceeded to raid nearby stores and commission houses, taking food and merchandise and destroying what they did not carry away. Riot calls were sent in and squads of patrolmen were sent to the scene in police emergency patrols. The soldiers were driven back to the train by a squad of twenty armed men ordered out by Major T.
