INDIANA TROOPS ARE LEARNING TO SHOOT

Practice Daily With a Hundred Rounds of Ammunition, Making Many Good Scores. Mercedes, Tex., Aug. 30.—The Indiana soldiers are leamnig to shoot. Every morning they go to the rifle range and practice with 100 rounds of ammunition each, and they are making good scores. When they fame here more than- 40 per cent had never fired a gun, and these are receiving special instructions in handling arms. Revolver practice by the infantry and the artillery takes place Friday. The machine gun companies participate in a regulation drill each day, and in a short time they will begin practicing with blank ammunition. The Indiana field artillery is also getting into fine shape. Major R. H. Tyndall has put the batteries through considerable marching. Saturday the artillery got seventy horses, seventytwo on Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday a sufficient ..umber will arrive to equip all the batteries, and then the batteries will go through every evolution of war except firing on an enemy. "An order from the war department received today says that Battery D, the new Ft. Wayne organization, will come to Llano Grande as soon as Battery B, the Purdue student organization, is mustered out of the service. But this is indefinite, the artillery officers say, because they have no information that Battery B is to be mustered out. They believe Battery D will come here, regardless of the disposition of Battery B. The sending of Companies A and B to the river for guard duty has been delayed about two weeks as the roads are impassible to get supplies to the companies from Harlingen. Major Glenn Van Auken, brigade adjutant, Indiana infantry, has received a leave of absence to visit his home.

While it seems improbable that the solid south will be tyoken into this year, there is evidence enough to show there is a-strong anti-adminis-tration sentiment throughout that section. This is especially true in the great state of Texas, where it is currently reported that if the voters expressed their real sentiment, Hughes would get the electors from that State. This is because of the administration’s Mexican policy, which is vigorously condemned, not only in Texas but along the entire border. Proximity to the situation has enabled the border states to properly measure the fatuous administration policy in dealing with our southern neighbors. States like Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland and West Virginia, where there is strong republican sentiment, are likely to express this anti-administration sentiment, and surprises in this section may be anticipated. Missouri and Oklahoma, two states ordinarily regarded as democratic, are also seething with anti-administration sentiment, and their registration in the republican column may be regarded as entirely possible.

UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test in Rensselaer. No Rensselaer resident yho suffers backache or annoying urinary ills can remain unconvinced by this twice-told testimony. Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from kidney trouble,.. backaches and headaches for a long time. I had no strength or ambition and couldn’t sleep well. I could hardly turn in bed, owing to the lameness in my back. I couldn’t do my housework. My kidneys were very weak and the secretions were unnatural. * Finally I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store, and they cured me of all these ailments. I have never had an ache or pain since.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Moore said: “We are never without Doan's Kidney Pills in our house, for they are the best kidney medicine we know of” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the*same that ■ Mrs. Moore has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milbum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

15,000 BORDER SOLDIERS BACK FOR STRIKE

Order for 15,000 Men to Return to State Mobilization Camps Issued Wednesday. Orders .or the return of 15,000 national guardsmen to their state mobilization camps were issued Wednesday by the war department. General Funston was directed to return three regiments from New York, two from New Jersey, two from Illinois, two from Missouri, and one each from California, Oregon, Washington and Louisiana. It is known in Washington that these men are to be letumed for possible strike duty. These orders were issued Wednesday evening when the rail heads stated that the strike was inevitable. The unions have stood firm in all their demands and say that September 4th will see the beginning of the strike. The immensity of the rail strike is ■becoming more, apparent with each passing hour, and the strike will be without a paralleT in the history of the world. The strikers are determined and the rail heads equally so, and Wednesday night officials saw no possible hope for the calling off of the strike. Presidents of trunk lines returned hopeless from Washington and immediately began the direction of plans to cope with the grave problems they expect will confront them on Monday. They firmly reiterated their decision to cling to the end to the principle of arbitration and asserted only concessions by the men would avert a general railroad tie-up on Labor Day. Most of the leaders of the union remained in i the capital to Watch proposed legislation to relieve the tense situation, but several were reported on their way to Chicago, where they would have a better grasp of conditions there. Every move made by the railroads indicated a determination to fight. Every statement issued revealed the confidence of the transportation officials in the justness of their stand and in the belief that they will have the support of the American people. Heads of ten roads reached the city at noon and at once plunged into the task of marshalling their forces. The hope in Washington that there is yet a way out pf it was not reflected in anything they said or did. E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, who acted as spokesman for the party, said preparations were being pushed for eventualities. “The railroad will proceed upon the assumption that the strike will come on labor day,” he asserted. Mr. Ripley attacked the union leaders for declining to arbitrate, and declared legislation advocated by President Wilson “seems not only obviously necessary.” M A strike is inevitable,” said Louis Hill, of the Great Northern. The postoffice department has made no move for the movement of mails in the event of the strike. “We have received no orders from Washington and do not know what official action will be taken if the men go on a strike,” said General James E. Stuart, postoffice inspector. “I have no doubt the railroad® will continue to operate the mail service and it is unlikely that the men will attempt to interfere. It is a penitentiary offense to hinder the mail service.” * President H. R. Kurrie, of Rensselaer, head of the Monon, was one of the rail heads who made a record trip to Washington to confer with the nation’s head concerning the pending strike. They returned from Washington Wednesday night, asserting that the situation was hopeless.

Fairbanks to Be Notified Today of Nomination. Plans were completed Wednesday night for the formal notification of Charles W. Fairbanks of his nomination for vice-president on the republican ticket in Chicago last June. United States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, Illinois, who will make the address informing Mr. Fairbanks of his nomination, sefit word that lie would be in Indianapolis. It was thought for a time that he might be detained by the railroad strike. The ceremonies will be held late this afternoon on the lawn at the Fairbanks home, only a short distance from where J. Frank Hanley received his notification. National Chairman Edwin M. Wilcox and republican leaders from all parts of the country .re expected for the ceremonies. A conference of the leaders will be held during the as- , temoon. The Best Laxative. To keep the bowels regular the best laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a full glass of water half an hour before breakfast and eat an abundance of fruit and vegetables, also establish a regular habit and be sure that your bowels move once each day. When a medicine is needed take Chamberlain’s Tablets. They are pleasant to take and mild and gentle in effect. For sale by B. F. Fendig. C A good many farmers are selling com at the 80 and 81 cent price prevailing and thinking they have sold at record prices, as they have, but there are indications that com will be selling at at least SI.OO per bushel. This will not be as big a jump as wheat took during the civil war when it advanced from somewhere around 50 cents to over $2.00 per bushel. The difference between now and 1863 is that the war in Europe is affecting the whole world, while our trouble was almost local. Experts are now predicting that the war will not end before 1918, if then. The allies have began to apply a pressure that is bringing them some results, and they are confident of eventually winning, so that with Germany holding conquered territory, which they will give up only when forced to do so, neither side has any idea of making early peace. If peace were to be declared now, even though Germany should restore all the conquered territory to the allies, they would have won a great victory, because the factories of France, Belgium and Poland have been destroyed, while theirs have been unharmed by the German successes, and the allies are said to be determined to even things up. While 80 cent com will pay debts and taxes all right, it will not buy any more meat, bread and butter, clothing or groceries than the old price of 60 cents did, nor will the dollar com, if it comes. Just the Thing for Diarrhoea. “About two years ago I bad a severe attack of diarrhoea which lasted over a week,” writes W. C. Joues, Buford, N. D. *T became so weak that I could not stand upright. A druggist recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera ami Diarrhoea Remedy. The first dose relieved me and within two days I was as well as over.” Many druggists recommend this remedy because they know that it is reliable. For sale by B. F. Fendig. C Curtis Creek.
