ANYWAY, TOM CAIN IS ONE COW SHORT.

Thomas Cain, residing about foul: mires south of Rensselaer, on the Remington road, is out a perfectly good cow just because some motorist hit it with his machine some time Sunday afternoon or evening. Rumor has it that the cow was killed by a Goodland autoist. Anyway, F. E. Babcock, editor of the Democrat, happened along in his car just at the wrong moment and, to avoid a collision with another car, due to the congested condition of the road where the slain cow lay, was forced to run his machine over the prostrate bossy. - Mr. Babcock denies having any part in the slaying of the cow, and states that it had been long dead when he happened along. Anyway, Mr. Cain is out a cow, no matter who killed it.

“THE MIRACLE MAN” ADAPTED FROM BIG COHAN STAGE PLAY.

New Paramount-Artcraft Picture One of Greatest Thus Far 1 Produced. A superb, dramatic. ParamountArtcraft feature, “The Miracle Man,” which will be on view at the Princess theatre next Wednesday and Thursday, is declared to be one of the really great screen dramas of recent years. It was written by Frank L. Packard and produced as a stage play by George M. Cohan and packed the Broadway theatre in the season of 1916-17, where it played for many months. The screen version is said to be even more absorbing and thrilling in its development of th 6 striking story, which shows the marvelous transformation under the beneficent influence of an ennobling environment of four of the most notorious crooks of New York’s underworld. Hearing of the healing powers of this old man of the hills, Tom Burke and his band determine to capitalize them to enrich themselves. Little did s they reckon that in their new field of operations they were destined to undergo a magical transformation, and this forms the basis of one of the most thrilling- stories ever screened. A cast of unusual strength portrays the exacting roles in the picture. Tom Meighah, well known as one of the foremost leading men on the screen, has the chief part. Others are Elinor Fair, Betty Compson, Lon Chaney, J. M. Dumont, W. Lewson Butt, F. A. Turner, Lucille Hutton and Joseph J. Dowling. Mrs. George M. Myers returned today from Kewanee, 111., where she had been with her father, who is very ill. Mrs, Myers will return to Kewanee very soon. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kuboske and little son returned to their home in Gary today after a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kuboske and Mr. and Mrs. John Shellman, of Remington.
