Events Yesterday in the Marshall
Comfy TOWN.
Assaulted in a speakeasy.

Monday night D. R. Noice, an en-
ploye of the Fostoria Glass Company,
was in notorious joint at Glendale
when he was assaulted by Ben Shrimp
and another party, said to be the pro-
prietor of the den. Noice was beaten
with a beer mug. He was taken to the
Reynolds Memorial Hospital, where his
wounds were dressed and yesterday he
was able to appear at the preliminary
hearing before Squire Manning, who
committed shrimp to Jail in default of
bond to await the action of the grand
jury. When an officer went to Glendale
yesterday to arrest Shimp's companion
he found the place closed and card
on the door stated that the proprietor
had gone to Buffalo.

AFTER GRIP WHAT |?
The Perilous Period Which
Follows an Attack Of this
Mysterious Malady.

Grip Is bad enough with its aching
fever. But its after effects are perhaps
even more to be dreaded than the misery
attendent en- an attack of the disease
itself. The person who comes safely
through an attack of grip, man, woman,
or child, is left in a condition Of peculiar
debility and prostration from which it is
difficult to rally. A slight cold or cough
may find speedy termination in lung

DONATION DAY AT The
HOME FOR FRIENDLESS
Needs of That Worthy Institution
Are Greater Than Ever Before
in Its History.

Tomorrow will be donation day at
the Home for the Friendless. Never
in the history of the Home have so
many things been needed as now The
family Is larger, expenses of living
have increased twenty-five per cent. in
the last five years. and the distance
of the new building from the central
city make the necessities greater.
Every year adds to the burden of fee
bleness and ill-health which the frail
old inmates must carry. Many of
these aged ones are close to the end of
the journey ana for them this last do
nation day, with its attendant merry
making. is the last glimpse of bright
ness and pleasure before falls the chill
of "a winter Which can never melt into
spring. They look forward with the
livoliest interest to the occasion when
kind friends over all the city remem-
ber the Home. 1t is the red-letter day
of the year.
The little children, who watch with
curious gaze the scenes attendant
upon donation day, are not the same
little people who rejoiced last year al
the big barrels of apples and crackers
and vegetables which they liked. The
races OF the Junior part OF tie Ialnlly
are chiefly new, for those of last year
have gone out to other homes whose
light perhaps they are today. They do
not come to this shelter to stay until
carried out to the little plot over be-
yond the trees i'm Forest Hill, as do
the old ladies. They constitute AN
ever-changing family, but one which
has marvellous resemblance to the
one of the previous year in their ca
pacity for eating and their facility for
wearing holes in boots and clothing.
Thus ii is that the Home needs pro-
visions, clothing, groceries of all kind
and, in fact, almost anything which
can be used in am ordinary family. 1t
should be remembered that the annual
excursion, which usually nets several
hundred dollars, was omitted this year
and that the public has not been called
upon as much as usual for this insti-
tuition. 1t is also announced that the
entertainment planned for tomorrow
night at the Home has been postponed
because of the street car strike,
