Telegraph Nqws by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana i Indianapolis, Nor. 3. After appealing Ju vain for help to Sheriffs J. E. I'ryant and John G. Jonas, of Monroe and Cumberland counties, Ky., respectively, Hen. Lee and (leorjje Rankin, tbe ex-Indianapolis patrolmen, visited the Coe ridge In Kentucky which shelters Jesse Coo, the murderer of Patrolman Charles J. Russell, and lay la watch until daybreai They crept closo to the Coe home, but because of the large number of people in the houses, the former patrolintn "would, not attempt the capture alone. OfiiciaU Not Very Zealous. Unable to induce the sheriffs to form a posse and go after the fugitive, and unable to find any one else willing to nssist them. Lee and Ranking visited the hills to get what information they coaild before giving up the search. Th men have been ignored by the Indianapolis police department, -which teems reluctant to accept any information furnished by them. Attorney W. E. Henderson, who suggested to Chief Motzger that he send men to Kentucky and verify the statements of Lee and Rankins, and take some action to capture Coe, did not receive any satisfaction. And Kentucky Remains Inactive. The chief's excuse was that he did not have the money to conduct such an investigation, and that it was the duty of the Kentucky authorities, who knew the country, to investigate and effect Coo's capture. When asked if he had taken any steps in the Coe Investigation Chief Metzger said he had opened up a correspondence with the authorities near tho Coe hills, to get complete and tangible information. He Baid correspondence was a more satisfactory method than the long-distance telephone to do the work. Seems to Have "Cold Feet." 'About two weeks ago the Indianapolis department was notified by Sheriff J. E. Bryant, of Tompkinsvllle, Ky., that Coe was there, but asldo from giving advice to the sheriff as to the beirt method of catching the fugitive, nothing has been done. Bryant and his deputies seem to have "cold feet." as they have not made a move to catch the murderer.

One of the most peculiar accidents ever reported in the county, and one that goes to show the size of the corn grown hereabouts, is reported farm near Moran.

A mother, seeing a child on the street, filthy, dirty and covered with vermin and sores, pays: "Thank God my ehild is not in that condition." But see here, you mothers, who are so par ticular snout the external appearance of your children; whot do you know of the condition of your child inside. If your child has a changeable appetite grits its teeth while sleeping, is con stantly picking the nose, or is restless irritable and peevish, has a coated tongue, sour stomach, bad breath, etc.; any of these symptoms indicates the presence of worms or that the stomach and lining of the body are sore and irritated. Do not wait until disease has become rooted ward it off prevent it. Impurities are being taken inwardly continually. Don't let them stay there. Help nature to pass them off in a natural manner. You value the life and health of your child, so keep its system free from impurities and disease germs. And when you do your cleaning, do not resort to poisonous or injurious drugs. Use Quaker Herb Extract, a specific for the stomach, liver and kidneys, made from a combination of herbs, roots, barks, berries, leaves and blossoms. It is perfectly harmless, will not affect the most delicate stomach, and will remove all gerrns arid worms in a natural, mild manner. Quaker Herb Extract and a com plete stock of the time-tried Quaker Herb Remedies can always be found in the stores of these enterprising druggists: Jas. W. Weis, E. R. Stauffer & Co., Otto Negele, M.

Gus Heege's famous comedy drama, " Ole Olson," is sti1 engaged in promoting, laughtev gaiety and good feeling, and will be offered as a fun-maker at the Towle opera house Sunday, Nov. 4, by the Northlan'd singer, Ben Hendricks, and a company of guaranteed excellence. Fifteen years of unbroken success for this delightful comedy give proof that it possesses rare qualities that make for popular success. Few plays live even half that length of time. In "Ole Olson" the story is told in a simple, natural and sympathetic manner that appeals to the heart; the fun is not forced, but bubbles up spontaneously, and the incidents are presented in a way that carries conviction. These are the qualities that have given "Ole Olson" success. The performance to be given here has been directed, rehearsed and played by Ben Hendricks, and is the only one authorized and sanctioned by Gus Heege's heirs. The company presenting "Ole" is an excellent one, and as Mr. Hendricks Is making a feature of his singing and yodeling, a musical as well as a dramatic treat Is assured.
