GLOVE COUNTER CHARMS.
Three Girls Within Few Months
Leave Store to Wed.


Newton. Kan. Jan. 29.-When
Miss Helen Beebe, a sa1eslady at the
glove counter at the Wiley
dry goods store resigned last evening,
and announced her approaching mar
riage to a young man of Syracuse, N.
Y, it was the third time within a few
months that this glove coutner has
yielded bride.
Last summer Miss Kate Devine, of
315 East Seventh avenue, left this
department to wed. She was sue
ceeded by Miss Maud Roberts of sos
East Fourth avenue, at the glove
counter, who, a few weeks ago was
married. Miss Beebe, whose home is
at 20 West Bigger street, is the third
within few months to leave this
counter to enter matrimony.
The department manager was be-
sieged with applications from girls
last evening for a position at this
counter, which has become known
throughout the big store as Charm
ed" Miss Grace Heberlig, of 214
West Eleventh avenue, il now in
charge at this counter.

Methodist

There was large attendance at the
Methodist Church last Sunday morning,
many strangers being present, as well as
the regular attendance. The Choir rem
dered an exceptionally fine anthem, the
leading parts being taken by Messrs.
Gordon and Tinker. Mr.. Best preached
on the following subject "a Lost Oppor-
tunity." showing that the people are so
busy in these days that the most impor-
tant work slips away from them. The
text was taken from first kings, Goth,
Chapter and the 40th verse; "And as
thy servant was busy here and there; he
was gone. And so the King of Israel said
so shall thy judgment be; thyself hast
decided it," People are so busy these
days that they do not find time to keep
the Sabbath Day Holy: they do not give
the attention they should to the requir-
ments of Almighty God on their lives,
nor are they as much interested in the
eternal welfare of others as they should
be. We are our brothers keeper and
God will hold us responsible for the souls
of those with whom we come in contact.
While 1t is right for us all to be busy, we
should never be so busy that we neglect
the things that are most needful.
There were 147 at Sunday School and
everybody reported an exceptionally good
time in the teaching of the lesson.
The Junior League was attended Sun
day afternoon and was led by Frances
Smith. Next Sunday the meeting will be
led by Eleanor Colby.
There was Union Thanksgiving Ser
vice in the church Sunday evening; music

that they must report in detail it's

not personally known to some men,
Der of the staff, who will vouch for
the practitioners fairness in the
use of it and in reporting it's re-
suits back to the institute.
DR.. Simon Flexner, director of
the scientific laboratories in the
Rockefeller institute, who is devot-
ing his time to delving into the
study of science for the benefit of
suffering humanity, is the discover
er of the serum. Hence, it bears
his name. He was assisted by Drs.

DEATH RIDDEN NEW YORK.
1t was during the terrible cpl
demic of spinal meningitis which
swept through the tenement dis
tricts of New York city, killing the
babies of Jewish and Italian emf
grants by the hundreds, that DR..
lFlexner began his deep investiga-
.}ion which resulted in his discovery
of the serum that is now proved to
be powerful combatant of the dis
ease. He discovered that a germ
known to medical science as "di-
plococcus intracellularis meningiti-
dis" caused the disease. The germ
is called diplococcus because it is
in the form of diples (two) coccus
(balls) and is intracellularis be-
cause, in the human body, it is
many times found wrapped up in
the cells and the last term meningi-
tidis is applied because it's poisons
set free inflame the meninges, caus-
ing the disease in question.
When he began his experiments
for the discovery of combative
serum he was confronted with the
difficulty of finding an animal
which is susceptible to the disease
and from whose blood a serum
could be extracted for practical use

which 1t was not used died and

instance were either deformed.
blind or mentally incapacitated. DR..
Flexner reported several months
ago while the serum was still pure
ly in the experimental stage, that
out of 295 cases of spinal meningi.
tbs that had been cured with his
serum, there was but one of mental
impairment and five cases of deaf
ness.
Before Flexner's discovery 1t was
rare case for a child under two
years of age to recover from the
disease. Now, with the use Of the
serum the mortality among infants
has been reduced by more than so
per cent.
So far DR.. Powers has had no op.
portunity to use the serum here, as
there has been but one case near,
that at Cheney, Wash, since he Sc
cured it.
DR.. McCulloch has had wonder
full success in more than a score of
cases which he treated with the
serum.

FRAIL WOMAN FRIEND GOES
INTO MYSTERIES AND

(By United Press Leased Wire)
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Mutilated al
most beyond recognition, with the
mouth cut from ear to ear and the
face gashed on either side, the head
of Mrs. Jennie Cleghorn, whose re-
capitated body was found last
Thursday in flat on the south
side, was discovered late tonight,
wrapped in four frozen towels, in a
vacant lot, just six blocks from the
house in which the woman was
murdered. Two small boys found it.
FRIEND LOSES REASON.
The head, with the skull crushed
and frozen stiff, was taken to the
house where the dead woman lived,
and was identified by roomers who
had known Mrs. Cleghorn. The
sight of the crushed head caused a
woman roomer in the house, who
was an intimate of Mrs. Cleghorn,
to go into Mysteries and she was
removed to the county hospital,
where it is said she has completely
lost her reason.
AS soon as the head of the MUIR
dered woman was examined by the
ambulance doctors, Liuetenant of
Detectives Rohan announced that
the seven suspects being held in
connection with the murder will be
confronted by the crushed head to-
morrow morning, in an effort to
force confession from at least
one of them.
REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.
A remarkable coincidence of the
discovery of two headless and nude
women in Chicago on January 20, in
the last two years, prompted Cor
oner Hoffman to start an investiga-
ton tonight, in the hope that the
circumstances attending each of
these two murders might lead to
the discovery of the perpetrator of
the first crimes, as we'll as the
slayer of Mrs. Cleghorn.
The fact that both women were
killed in substantially the same
way and on the same day Of the
same month, furnishes the theory
that the murders may have been
committed by some secret society,
similar to those in Russia, which
marked their victims for death on
the anniversary of some happening
that seemed to call for revenge.

BEING FITTED
WITH BRAKES
New Invention Has Great
Possibilities in Store
for Warships.
TO DODGE TORPEDOES
Uncle Sam Fitting the In
diana With Set of
Water Wings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. pa new
phase of battleship fighting may be
brought about before the end of
the present year through the intro
duction into the navy of the ship
brake, a Canadian invention just
about to be tested by Uncle Sam.
The battleship Indiana is being
equipped with the appliance at the
League Island navy yard, and the
inventors, basing their assumption
on the success of previous trials
with smaller vessels, anticipate that
the big ships of war will be able
to go through maneuvers now i'm
possible for even the smallest tugs.
The invention consists of COM
paratively simple arrangement of
steel wings which lie close to the
side of the vessel. To bring them
into play they are simply unfolded.
The shock that might be expected
is taken up by water cylinders
which act as a cushion, absorbing
the strain gradually. 1t is expected
that the ships will be brought to a
standstill, under ordinary speed,
within the distance of their own
length. II this is found to be the
case, the possibility of collision in
tactical maneuvers will be reduced
to a minimum. Moreover, by using
one of the wings. the ships will be
able to turn with a much smaller
radius than is now possible.
ELUSIVE TO SUBMARINES.
The game of war will be made
more complex If the arrangement
proves practicable for the new
Dreadnoughts. Vessels which can
stop and turn around with so little
difficulty will prove themselves
more elusive targets-particular
for submarines and torpedo boats,
which count for the effectiveness
largely upon the unwieldiness of
the big ships and the difficulty they
experience in deviating from their
course when under way.
In the merchant marine, also, the
invention will be of great value.
The greatest difficulty with which
ordinary liners have to contend
arises from fog, which necessitates
slowing down to prevent collisions
with icebergs, or other vessels, as
happened in the case of the Repub-
lie. With the ship brake, the liners
could proceed under full speed even
during fog, as they could stop
within sight of the obstacle.
The test Is to be made with the
Indiana next month. If it DrOyeS
successful the appliance will prob
ably be adopted by the navy de-
partment.
