Lowell, Ind. July 2s.-The PRO
gressives" of the three Creek town
ships in Lake county met the pub
lie square at Lowell on Saturday night
and made the first large demonstra-
tion of the campaign.
1t is estimated that there were 500
to 1000 people in the crowd which was
addressed by Louis Hamilton of Rens-
selaer. Hamilton spoke from an auto
mobile.
The crowd was made up of people of
all political faiths. Some were there
out of curiosity and others because
they have been converted to the cause
of the progressives.
In the crowd was Charles johnson.
county auditor and Republican County
Chairman Albert Foster. councilman-
at-large, Herbert Jones. county re-
corder, Sam Love, ex-county commits
sioner and Elmer Dfnwiddie.
Many in the crowd were old time re-
publicans who have helped to swell
the republican majority in the county
by 500 to 900 votes.
A noticible thing was the presence
of women in the crowd and their en-
thusiasm for Roosevelt The mention
of the name Roosevelt was the cause
for a great outburst of APPLAUSE.

Kankakee, H., July 29.--Miss
veda Hemstock, Walter Webster and
Mrs. Paul Masteller of Hammond,
and Louis Burkhalter of this city
were drowned in the Kankakee river,
four miles from here, yesterday aft
ernoon at 5 o'clock. The bodies OF
Miss Hemstock and Louis Burkhalter
were recovered soon after the acci-
dent, but the other bodies had not
been recovered at noon today.
Miss Hemstock and Mrs. Masteller
went in bathing in the river and
ventured out too far. Webster and
Burkhalter, who were on the bank
watching them, warned them of
their danger.
Just as they shouted the warning
the young women stepped of into a
hole in the river. The strong current
did the rest and they were swept into
deep water.
In an effort to save them the young
men plunged in after them. The wom-
en- were panic-stricken. With the SUI
perhuman strength born of their des-
peration they grappled with the men
and carried them down into the water
with them.
The drowning girls and their he
.ssnic rescuers were all made victims o1
the treacherous whirlpools OF the riv-
er. They sank out of sfgnt before
Paul Masteller. who was some dis
tance away and a good swimmer
could reach them.
The work of recovering the bodies
was commenced at once. The river
was dragged until a late hour last
night ard the bodies of Miss Hem
stock and Mr.. Burkhalter were recov-
cred.
Miss Hemstock, together with Wal
ter Webster and Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Masteller left Hammond only last Sat
urday. They went to Kankakee by
interurban, where they arrived in the
afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. BurkhalteI
drove down to their camp from Kan
kakee to visit them
The young folks had been In swim
ming but short time when they were
drawn into the whirlpool of the river
Their lack of knowledge of the dan
gers of river bathing is said to &C.
count for the accident
This is the sixth death that has
taken place at the river this season
The coroner has been notified and the
relatives will be given permission tt
remove the bodies as soon as possible

CHILDREN'S FAULTS.

Does your child break into the
conversation when you have visitors?
Does he leave his clothes lying all
over the house?
Does he answer you back in the
presence of others, and when you tell
him to do anything does he begin to
argue the matter with you?
Does he eat surreptitiously
between meals. and lie out of it?
Does he lay his hands on almost
anything he wants to make some
thing out of without asking your per-
mission?
Does he fall into passion of desire
over some article of clothing that
you hesitate about getting for him,
and then take a sudden dislike to it
and absolutely refuse to wear it?
Does he come down late to break
fast?
Does he say "Huh?" "Gee!"?
And if not, why not? You are his
parent and he is living in the United
States of America.-Life.

TO PROTECT FRUIT TREES.

To- protect fruit trees from being
gnawed by rabbits and mice, nothing
is equal to cylinders, made Of COM
mon screen wire, which, if coated
with linseed oil, to protect the screen
from the effects Of moisture, will
last many seasons and will thor
oughly protect the tree from all
gnawing animals, including sheep.
And the screen allows the sunlight to
strike the tree trunk all the time and
as consequence, the tree trunk does
not sunscald as badly as it would if
it were bleeched out and then
exposed to the sun.

CARE OF THE BEDS in SICKNESS

The bed linen should be changed
frequently. Hair or husk mattresses
are better, generally, than feather
beds. Keep the undersheet as
smooth as possible. The covering
should be warm without being heavy.

enough. No sick person should sleep
with his head under the bedclothes,
for in doing so he will be constantly
breathing air poisoned by exhala-
lions from his body. Blankets allow
the emanations from the body to
pass through them, while heavy cot
ton counterpanes do not; besides,
they distress the patient by their
weight. If possible, the bed should
be made once or twice daily. Keep
