SCARED THE SULTAN.
The Pianos Legs wors too Much for
Turkeys Ruler.

The Pianos Legs wora too Much for
Turkeys Ruler.
The late Leopold dc Meyer, of Ores
den, q brilliant and popular pianist in
his day, was once summoned to play
before the sultan ut Constantinople.
Going thithcr he borrowed grand
piano from one of the Austrian secre-
taries of legation and had it set up in
q large rece ption-room at the palace.
There he awaited the coming of the
sultan; but when that intelligent
monarch entered the room, he started
back in alarm and demanded of his at
tendants what that monster was
standing there on t!,rae legs.
Explanations followed, but were in
vain. The legs had to be taken of
and the body of the instrument laid
fat on the floor; and Leopold de Meyer,
squatting cross-leggcl on u mat, went
through his programme rs best he
could in that awkward attitude and
without pedals.
But the commander of the faithful
was delighted, and when the last piece
was played gave the artist over 1000
as "backshcesh."

In the Soup.

The trial OF the suit OF the Alichi-
gan Slate Co., against the I. II. & II.
B. Railroad Co., which occupied the
circuit court through the greater por-
ton of last.week, was submitted to the
jury last Saturday, and resulted in q
verdict or the plaintiff for tho full
amount of it's claim, $50. 1924. This
result was anticipated from similar
verdict against the railroad company
in the Marquette circuit court few
weeks ago, and also from the apparent
justice OF claim. These supplies were
furnished III good faith by those who
had no means of knowing the private
arrangements between the railroad and
its contractor, and rs Milo Davis
assumed to act as the agent Of the COM
pany in the purchase of supplies, and
his authority apparently recognized by
the company in the payment of a large
amount of goods so purchased by him,
it is not strange that the public treated
him as the authorized agent Of the
company and gave credit accordingly
It is more strange that the company
should seek to avoid the payment OF its
just obligations.
The company did not introduce the
testimony OF Milo Davis, although he
was here to testify apparently
Perhaps It's experience in that line al
Marquette was sufficient. II he had
been put on the stand there would
have been some fun as the plaintiff,
attorneys were loaded for HIM. -
The case will be appealed to th,
supreme court.

FEARS OF DISASTER
Which Would Throw the Oil City
Calamity in the Shade Now
AGITATING THE AKRON PEOPLE.
Great Reservoir Ready to Pour Its Water
Into Narrow Canal.
NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l
AKRON, O., June 20.-If the heavy rains
of the spring and summer continue much
longer, Akron may have food equal to the
Titusville and Oil City disaster. The water
in the chain of lakes south of this city is
higher than was ever known. An alarm
was sounded Sunday night and ever since
men have worked like beavers near the
Summit reservoir, whose banks it is feared
will give away if the enormous body of
water now contained therein is increased by
heavier rains
The guard lock used to keep the water
back near Summit Lake was closed this
morning, and men are on the lookout all
along the line for any signs of danger. If
the banks of the reservoir should give away,
millions of tons of water will be emptied
into the Ohio Canal, which passes hundreds
Of dwellings, stores and factories.
Nearly the entire contents of the Turkey
foot Lake, the two reservoirs, Ions and
Summit Lakes, representing a superficial
area of 5000 acres, would be discharged in
to the canal, and the latter would become a
rushing torrent capable of carrying every
thing before it.

BEDFORD, June 20.-[Special 1-Great ex-
citement prevails in the Snake Spring VAL
ley, in the eastern part of this county, on
account of the shooting of Adam Hofecker
by Daniel Miller. The Miller and Hofecker
families live on adjoining farms. Hofecker,
who has q wife and six children, has been
intimate with Mrs. Miller, who, though the
mother of two children, seemed to be in
fatuated with him The first event which
broke up the happy relations between Mil
Ter and his wife was her elopement to
Johnstown with Hofecker last April, after
leading her husband to believe that she was
going to visit some relatives in Martinsburg.
of the guilty pair Miller determined to make
an investigation. He was not long in hear
ing of the escapade, but both were forgiven
by pleading innocence of any wrong, and all
returned horle.
No further trouble occurred until last
Saturday, when Miller found letter from
his wi.e's tempter, appointing a meeting,
they thinking he had gone to Bedford. In
stead ofgoing to town Miller hid near the
house with a shotgun. In short time
Hofecker appeared and entered the house of
Miller. After q time Hofecker and Mrs. Mil
Ter came out Of the house and were ap-
preached by Miller, who filled Hofecker's
body with bullets, several entering the
kidneys. Hofecker was removed to his
home, but physician who was called said
the wounds would be fatal. Public feeling

Save THE MFANTS!!!
In June the Babies
| Suffer.
Poorly Fed Babies SQCcunb
to Disease Easily.
Physicians Advise the Use Of
Pure Diet.
Laetated Food is the PureSt and
Best.
What Will at Once Follow
Wherever Used,

1t is good for them, every one. fat babies and
thin babies, with blue eyes and black and gray
eyes, babies with dark hair and light hair and no
hair at ALL they live and thrive upon lactated fool
But the little ones who are not 30 well fed have
to suffer.
They are, too many of them, easy victims to the
prevailing summer complaint.
"It is absolutely certain.'' saws writer in the
Boston Herald, speaking of the alarming Increase
of mortality among the children, THAT the cause
of this high death rate amongst infants Is ndige5-
tion."
At the beginning of the warm season the best
physicians gave warming that pure food must be
used for the babies. This warning apparently did
not reach every city and town. But in those
where the newspapers published the discussions
that were going on, large quantities of lactated
food were sold. and this best of diets for children
was used, and in these places too, the statements
of the able physicians who interested themselves
in the matter have been borne out. The fewer
deaths have occurred in those towns and cities
where the larger amount of lactated food has been
used.
Comparisons of this sort must be absolutely con-
yincing.
Where everything else has failed to accomplish
the desired result actated food. which is the best
substitute for mothers milk, has succeeded. ~
There are several weeks of hot weather to come,
and during that time unless lactated food used,
the local physicians say that dreadful mortality
and an increasing amount of sickness among the
little ones will continue.
The safe Plan is to feed the infants upon lac
tated food.
The most eminent spe al SITS in children's dis
eases have publicly advi7cu mothers that If they
would be upon the safe side, they should use lac
tated food. 1t strengthens the weak ones, and
keeps the healthy babies strong.
