terror to find out whether the terri
BILE disease would attack them or not.
The average period of incubation
from the time of infection to the
outbreak of the disease, is twelve
days. 1t may be as short as seven
days or as long as fifteen; rarely
longer. When the disease is actually
inoculated into the blood it may de-
velop in as short a time as forty
eight hours There is, therefore, very
great uncertainty as to its appear

The first guest of the ball to de
Velop the disease was John Wheeler.
He had done nothing more than
shake hands with Barrett and
breathe the same air with him. This
was convincing proof how freely the
contagion had been scattered.
Within another day Margaret Pres
ton. one of the prettiest girls at the
ball, was stricken down. She had
danced with Barrett great deal.
A day later mother girl, Lucy
Mason, was added to the list OF vic

VILLAS TRAIN IN BIG WRECK

FL PAsO Nov 2S.-ViHa's advance toward Mexico City has been marred by a railroad wreck. Twenty-Five soldiers and camp followers were killed and thirty-seven injured yes terday when Villas train collided near Tula with the train of General Chao and the latter leader was slight ly injured
 lt is understood in Juarez that Vi- Ia will not enter the National capi- tai until he is joined by Gutierrez and Zapata This, it is pointed out would prevent any comment on which leader should first enter the city. It is denied by Carranza officials here that General Caballero has turned over bis territory on the east coast to the convention party. Villa oni- cials followed this with a report that Governor Sanchez of Michoacan. had joined the convention government Conditions at Guadalaiara. which has been attacked by Villa troops. are not divulged although both sides claimed victories.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by

 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive. full of sediment irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in few days your kidneys will act fine This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. com. bined with lithia, and hes been used for generations to flush and stimulate Che kidneys, also 10 neuralize the acids in urine SO it no longer causes irritation thus ending bladder weak ness.

AUDUBON WINS BOTH GAMES

Sunday afternoon the Audubon
base ball team once more demon
strated its playing ability by defeat
ing the Dedham and Carroll teams
and winning decisive victories.
The first game was between Ded-
ham and Audubon and proved a
walk-away for our boys, the score
being IA to, 3. Knapp of Guthrie
Center pitched for Audubon and
struck out eleven men. He had the
best of support and from the start
there was no doubt as to the outcome
of this contest. Baker, pitcher for
Dedham, was only able to fan two of
our players, the support given him
was not gilt edged, in fact they did
not have the opportunity to give him
much support. Our boys slugged the
ball when ever they pleased, being
satisfied only with doubles and three
baggers, as a general rule; with a
single mixed in occasionally.
The Carroll-Audubon game was a
little more interesting, but our team
played A No. l baR and defeated
their opponents by score of 6 TO 2.
/ Booton pitched this game for Audubon
and made the wonderful record of
stricking out II of CAROLS heavy
batters. He was ably assisted by his
team mates, who played gilt edged
ball throughout the game. Hoover
for Carroll struck out six men. Nc
Manigal, receiver for Audubon caught
both games which in itself is hard
task, but he proved himself equal TO
the occasion, having but one passed
boil to his credit in both games
An $S5 crowd was present, large
number of visitors being in attend
ance. From the amount of roofing
done by the Audubonites, it was evil
dent that more money than the gate
receipts was in circulation. Audi
bon has the best bunch of rooters
and loyal supporters to be found any
where, and if roofing would win a
game, Audubon should have won
every game played thus far this
season.

The character of the exhibition now
being shaped indicates that the fair
management expects larger crowds

and race events, and for that reason
The people of Iowa, Nebraska, South
Dakota and Minnesota will take more
interest in this big annual show.
The special trains will only be part
Of the increased railroad service. Sew
sral cars will be added to all the regu-
lar trains, and the schedules will be
framed so that guests may return to
their homes after a day of sightseeing
at the fair grounds. Late trains viii
carry such guests as care to remain
fer evening entertainments.
Growing business, caused by the
many special events that mark the

The Interstate Fair was able to as
semble this group of vaudeville per-
formers through an agreement made
with several OF the large state fairs.
Each act will give two perform

everyone in grandstand seat will be
able to view the acts with no result
