CEDAR LAKE PICNIC
ATTENDED BY FEW

Cedar Lake. Ind. Aug. 2.-Chicago's
theatrical folks 200 strong went TO
Cedar Lake yesterday on their first an
nual outing and frolic. They were all
there, actors. actorines and dainty
broilers. Even a drenching rain could
not dampen the ardor of a people who
are proverbially light-hearted.
One long special train left the Polk
Street Station at II o'clock. more than
an hour later than scheduled time. but
nobody seemed to mind.
Races, a baseball game. swimming
matches, amateur threatricals and
much lively music made the day typi-
cal Summer outing. and as the rain
clouds vanished before the genial sun
merriment reached climax.
Probably the most unique figures in
the entire assemblage were Hiram
Davis, the famous old Buffalo Bill
clown. and his wife, Maria. For TWEEN
| ty-three long years Hiram has delight
led the circus goers who have attend
ed that sort of entertainment and tbs
fact that he caused just as much
amusement among the professional en-
tertainers speaks well for his genuine
talent, and Maria helped some, too
Dressed as two farmers of the old
fashioned "Rube'' type. they caused
shouts of laughter wherever they APP
peared.
| The fact that Hiram and Maria came
all the way from Cedar Rapids to at
| tend the pcnic showed that he is g
real member of the profession and has
its interests at heart.
The music publishers showed theil
supremacy by taking fascinating bal
game by the decisive score of to 4
Somebody suggested that they knew
how to bat because they could WELD q
baton but the actors said 1t was al
lluck.

his financial responsibility are multi
plying every day. d. f. Boone, his
former law partner, is the authority for
the statement that Doyle signed the
firm name TO a check for 5000 when he
had positive instructions that he was
not to cash any checks which did not
bear the signatures of both members of
the firm. 1t is understood that the
check was signed Boone and Doyle
by Gerald A. Doyle
Chief of Police Austgen was asked
If he knew anything of the operations
of Doyle in Hammond "A number of
matters have come to my notice." said
Austgen, which indicate that Doyle
had been guilty of some shady trans
actions but l do not care to state what
they are for the reason that l have not
enough evidence to back up the state
ment. 1 am convinced in my own mind
about the matter" said the chief but
I will not give my reasons for my be-
lief until 1 have the evidence"
Attorney C. George Miller of Ham
mond stated that a client came to him
regarding a check which Doyle is al
| legged to have cashed. The check was
| for 500.
Stories Compromising.
The cashiers of both of the Hammond
| banks have had experience with Doyle
which indicate that they do not care
| to have any more business dealings
with him. One of the loan companies
in Hammond claims to have had un-
satisfactory dealings with him.
| There is a report that when Doyle
left Detroit that he removed some
|
mortgage. None of these reports car
be confirmed but there are so many oil
the mthat it is suspected that some
experience of the kind may have beer

come to be pretty generally accepted
! Among those who knew Doyle Their,

for the young man. They believe tina
the attempt at suicide was the result

In the statement, the undeE-

wrong about the deaths of Frank
Brinkamp and Richard T. Smith,
in whose bodies arsenic has been

But he said that the suspicious
were allayed when DR.. l.. H. Her

ion that it is best to feed some hay
with silage. In one test at the Ohio
experiment station 1t was shown that
the feeding of silage reduced the cost
of producing gains Slit per hundred
weight, making the profits $5.97 per
steer with silage and $3.50 per steer
without silage
While but comparatively few tests
have been made throughout the coun-
try in which silage has been used for
beef cattle, the results to date are ia
vorable both as to daily gains, cost Of
gains and profits. There has been a
prevailing notion that cattle which
have been fattened by the use of ST.
lage would dress lower percentage
and that the beef would be more
watery and less valuable on that ac-
count. But this does not seem 10 be
true. Other things being equal. cattle
which show the highest condition Of
flesh dress higher percentage, and IL
the gains can be increased by the use
of silage it is reasonable to expect a
higher Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

~ enough TO kill those already inside
the root without also killing the plant.
1t is not complete nor safe rem
edy.
The free application of tobacco dust,
with or without bonemeal next to the
rows of plants. will tend to keep the
fly away and prevent in some meas
ure the deposition Of eggs. Many
sprays. especially tobacco tea, kerosene
emulsion and probably lime sulphur
solution will also kill the worms touch
ed by them, but the applications should
be made repeatedly at short Intervals
so as to catch the maggots before they
find safe retreat inside Of the root.
This year we have a new compound
remedy in combination OF lime and
sulphur solution with lead arsenate
and wool fat.

Old Brother Brown had been APP
preached several times by the colored
deacons of his church and asked to
pay his church dues. He had prom
ised to pay up" just as soon as he
sold calf which he owned Several
months later he sold the calf. The next
Sunday morning at service the con-
gregation sang the old familiar hymn:
The half has never been told
OF life so full and free.
Brother Brown. somewhat deaf and
conscious of his failure TO pay his
dues. understood the words to be:
The calf has never been sold.
But when It's sold hen pay.
When the hymn was finished the old
colored man. very indignant. arose
and said:
