A Suit That Will Wear Like Iron When you see this brown herring-bone worsted suit you’ll unconsciously say to yourself, “There’s a piece of material that will wear like iron." And the beauty of it is, “You would*be right." It is long on wear but it is • not designed for the giddy youth who is looking for something flashy. Being made in a conservative model, it will fit a portly fellow and will give long and faithful service. J-C $48.50 S® Hilliard & Hamill

FLAYS GEN. OBREGON

DAUGHTER OF FORMER MEXICAN PRESIDENT BRINGS CHARGES. Declares In Open Letter That Father's Murder Was Ordered by the Officer. Washington, July 9. —Miss Julia Carranza, daughter of the late president of Mexico, has charged in an open letter that the execution of her father was ordered by Alvaro Obregon, now candidate for the presidency. Copies of the letter received today by members of the diplomatic corps state thut “when a legally constituted government is established in Mexico and justice is not administered by blood-stained hands’.’ she will present the proofs of her assertion. Miss Carranza is now in San Antonio, Tex. Miss Carranza declared she was compelled to issue her protest “in this hospitable country since my country is deprived of the liberty of speech by the ruling militarists and there is no responsible government.” She said she has the clothing her father wore when he w’as killed, showing the blood stains and the seven bullet holes. The statement made officially In Mexico City that Carranza committed suicide, as well as the charge that Herrera killed Carranza because of the execution of Herrera’s father, was belittled by the daughter, who wrote: “Herrera peacefully walks the street of the City of Mexico, lives at an expensive hotel and goes to the -theaters with the principal men Implicated in the revolution, while Gen. Francisco Murguia and other chieftains who, In obedience to their duty, accompanied my father, are held against all human and moral law In prison, incommunicado. threatened with death for knowing how to be soldiers of honor.” “ ‘Alvaro Obregon is the one responsible for the death of my father. Messages and other proofs show he was the only one who Instructed Herrera to have the president of Mexico disappear. This is the reason why Herrera enjoys the liberty and privileges, and is courted, notwithstanding the deep Indignation of the Mexican people.”

CELEBRATED GOLDEN JUBILEE

Fiftieth Anniversary of Remington M. E. Church Observed. The Methodist Episcopal church of Remington celebrated its golden jubilee July 1-4. The church was organized 50 years ago. The first pastor was Rev. Hilllary A. Gobin, D. D., now vice-president of Depauw university. It was very fitting that he should return for this event and preach morning and -evening. Thursday evening was former pastor’s night. Two of the former pastors were present and gave addresses. Rev. J. B. McNary of Otterbein and Rev. Charles W. Postill of Rensselaer. Greetings were read from others who could not be present. A social hour followed the evening service. Friday evening was given over to music by the large chorus under the direction of Mrs. Elda Merritt. A successful campaign had been conducted previous to the celebration to clear the church of debt. At the morning service the trustees were called to the chaneel and presented with the last note of the building expense. This beautiful church, dedicated three years ago, is now free from debt. Dr. Gobin then preached a splendid sermon, at the close of which an invitation was given to unite with the church. There were 21 accessions; At the close of the service a bountiful dinner was served in the basement. One of the many notable things about the dinner was a birthday cake, ' with 50 lighted candles. The church was 50 years old. The evening service was largely attended, the Presbyterian and Christian churches uniting in the service.
