 H|S SUBJECT
Rev. John E. Brown and Prof. C. P. Curry Arrive to Conduct Joint Metho- dist Revival Which Be gins Tonight

Brown will preach on the subject of Killing Lions" This is to be a fierce sermon if the topic has anything to do with it. The evangelist is some lion tanner.

 This afternoon at 3 o'clock there will be a meeting of the chorus for the first work at Central church when Prof Curry will meet with all the singers and line up his chorus cholr This gentleman has a wonderful repu- tation as chorus director and makes the music of a revival almost as ef- fective as the preaching, at least that is what MT, Brown says. The meet ing will be held for some two weeks or more The two Methodist churches First and Central, are joining in the services and other churches are likely to help before the protracted effort is completed

ordered Mrs. Loan to open the door

Mr.. and Mrs. Loan were unable to

masks which completely hid their
faces. An attempt was being made to
get blood hounds to track the men.

William Backemeyer, 5, sons of the
owner of the dog, and Paul Miller, II,
son of Minnie Miller, of South Ele-

occurred Thursday while the Miller
boy was visiting Backmeyers with his
mother. The dog, which was only six
months old, was not regarded as dam
gerous and had been allowed his free
dom. When the boys were bitten the
animal was killed and it's head sent to
the state institution, where an exami-
nation showed that the puppy had a
violent case of rabies. Without wait
ing to write, the authorities at Indi-
annapolis telephoned to Richmond and
informed the Backmeyers as to the re-
suit of their examination. Although

Completion of Schedules AT
Rumely Plant Cause For
This Action.

Owing to the fact that certain sched-
ules had been completed, about forty
men were let off at the local branch of
the M Rumely company last evening.
When asked as to whether the dis
charge was temporary or not, William
Campbell, works manager, stated to-
day that the men probably would not
be taken back until further schedules
had been arranged.
THE men were let off from various
parts of the factories" said Mr.. Camp
bell. The local branch, however, still
has in its employ about $50 men"
1t was ascertained this afternoon
that the report that the Pilot Motor
car company had discharged a number
of men was absolutely without founda-
tion. Officials of the motor car COM
pany declared that few men had
been laid off because the company was
unable to secure axles for the assem-
bly, room. AS soon as a shipment of
axles arrives the men will be taken
back Immediately.
At the Hoosier drill branch of the
American Seeding Machine company,

Ballenger, farmer living near Will
liamsburg This dog has been acting
queer for several days and he reported
the symptoms to DR.. NJ. A. Stewart,
who told the man that the dog had
dumb rabies. This particular form is
not so dangerous. The animal becomes
sick, it's jaws are paralyzed and in
tack the dog will die. But the saliva
is just as poisonous as the other form,
according to DR.. Stewart, and if some
of it were transmitted into the
blood through a cut in the skin the
result would be the same as in the
case of bite. Acting upon this advice
Ballinger went home to lock the dog
up but on his arrival found the ami
NAL dead.
1t is not thought that any person or
animal was infected by this dog.
At the government station establish

were infected with this dumb rabies
instead of cholera, as was first sup
posed. Every effort is being made to
wipe out the disease.
