large sum of money from Mr.. Wernher.
Lemoine was released to give him an
opportunity to vindicate himself by ex-
hibiting stones of his own manufacture.

today Lemoine did not appear and 1t
was announced he had fled.
In the presence of Mr.. Wernher the
court then opened the envelope said
to contain Lemoine's formula. The
paper inside was read, but 1t contained
only number of fantastic and sense

Italians were shot to death.
The Dead Are
GIOVANNI BAROCA.
GIRO CUSALANE.
UNKNOWN ITALIAN.
According to the police these men
were killed as q result of an attempt
to extort money from Pietro Giacona,
wealthy italian wine merchant.
Giacona and his son told the police
these men had frequently bought wine
from them by the barrel and had in
variably refused to pay for it.
According to their story, the three
men forced them to ship barrel of
wine to a point in the state yesterday,
and returning early today ordered them
to prepare meal.
The elder Giacona suspected that
trouble would ensue and hid repeat
ing rifle near the table.
Says One Drew Gun
When one of the visiting italians
drew a heavy revolver and ordered
them to produce money and valuables
the elder Giacona answered with shot
from the rifle.
The man he fired at fell dead and
the other two attempted to escape. One
was killed before he got ten feet from
the table.
The other reached the staircase, only
to get bullet in his brain as he started
down the steps, his body falling into
the courtyard below.
One of the Italians was identified as
a man named Barraca, known to the
police.
Another italian badly wounded was
found in a shed near the Giacona
home. He was identified as one of
those who had attended the Giacona
feast and the only one who escaped

FOR NEEDED RAIN
Crops and Stock Suffer for
Lack of Water.

Jasonville, Ind, Aug. 29.-The
drought has reached such proportions
that public prayer meetings for rain
are being held. At the Crowder
school house, northeast of Jasonville
a meeting of this kind was held and
attended by 100 people. Other meet
ings of this kind are being contemplate
ed and it is not unlikely that the
churches of the city will hold special
services Sunday at which prayers for
rain will be offered.
The crops in the surrounding coun-
ty have been practically ruined, and
the question of getting a water supply
for their stock is an important one
among the farmers. The dust along
the country roads is so deep that
travel is almost impossible.

of all the great experiment stations of
Americanization. | am bound to take
the honor as a distinguished personal
obligation, but allow me to see in it
chiefly sign of your sympathy with
the work of drawing the two Americas
closer together.
Much as the future generations will
wonder at the pISgress OF our time,
they will wonder still more that the
TWO great sections OF our continent re-
manned so late in history almost I'M
known to each other. One reason of
their isolation was that many spirits
in Latin America for long time were
afraid of a too close contact with you,
owing to the great difference of power
between this and every other American
nation.
you, with your high civilization,
can do no wrong to any nation. Init
mate contact with you will under
whatever conditions bring only good
and progress to the other party.
THE only certain effect l can see
of a permanent and intimate inter
course of Latin America with you is
that it would be slowly Americanized
that is, it would be in different meas
ures penetrated with your optimism,
your self-reliance and your energy.
you keep away from the entang-
ling alliances, which the father of
your country deprecated, and yet con-
centration of the American republics
with the idea that they all form, un-
der different flags, single political
system, is already a moral alliance"
