RUSH CHILD
IS CLAIMED
BY TETANUS

Unable to counteract the ravaging
tetanus germs that were not discover
ed until too late. the efforts to save
Eugene Rush, IL. son Of w. P. Rush,
of near Hollansburg. O.. were Of no
avail. and the boy died at Reid Me-
mortal hospital this morning at z
O'Clock. For two days before his death
he suffered most agonizing pain. and
last night he was in such a condition
that every noise would send him into
commissions. Persons were stationed
in the halls and in front of the hospit-
al last evening to caution people an
they entered the building not to make
the slightest noise.
Tetanus anti-toxin had been admin.
istered since last Tuesday. when he
was brought to the hospital, but at
that time the poison in his system
had gone too far and the physicians
gave up hope.
Blood poisoning was caused by the
boy running splinter in his foot sew
eral weeks ago. Two days before
he was brought to the hospital his
jaws began to contract, so that by the
time he arrived here and the anti
toxin was administered the tetanus
germs had done their work.

APPEALS sent
IN PEACE MOVE

Neither Finly Gray, congressional
representative from this district. or
President Wilson have acknowledged
the receipt of the communications
sent them on July 20, by a committee
appointed at the mass peace meeting
held at the Coliseum Sunday, July 18.
Edgar Tiff, chairman Of the commit
tee, said that both Senators Kern and
Shiveley had acknowledged the reso.
lutions but did not make any comm ent
on them In the way Of expressing an
opinion. The resolutions pointed out
the fact that circumstances attending
modern warfare demand new limita-
tions OF the rights Of belligerents in
order to safeguard the rights of neu-
trails and since the rights Of peutrals
cannot be secured by military meas
ures owing to the violation Of these
rights by both sides. 1t 10 the duty Of

TAX ASSESSMENT
TO REMAIN SAME
BOWMAN REPORTS

Returning from Indianapolis, where
he attended a session of the state tax
board, County Auditor Bowman stated
this morning that the assessment of
property for taxation in Wayne coun-
ty would not be raised by the state
board.
Wayne county was one of the few
counties that had prepared a detailed
account of the valuation of property
and because of the gain of almost a
million and half dollars over the as.
sessment Of last year, the board will
undoubtedly leave the assessment as
the report indicates. No definite report
has been made by the state board but
Mr.. Bowman was given to understand
by a member of the board that there
is very little possibility of change
being made

have successfully executed their re-
treat to the second line of defense, ex-
tending from Kovno, on the Niemen.

The Russian abandonment OF the
Vistula front is attributed to the same
fact that caused their retreat In Ga
licia-lack of ammunition. BY the
time the Germans reach the new line
OF Russian defense. il they are able
to continue their advance Immediate
ly, the Cars field commander hopes
that this lack OF munitions will be re-
moved. BY falling back to the Me
men-Bug line the Russians are short
ening their front. This will permit
the dispatch of troops to the Baltic
region and the Galician-Poland front
Ter. where the right and left wings of
the Russian armies are under heavy
pressure.

gasp as Becker, erect and calm, stood
upon the threshold. In his right hand
he carried cruciifx which was grasp

Becker wore an ill-fitting black suit
which was wrinkled as though he had
been sleeping in it. A white soft shirt,
open at the throat, showed up in
strong contrast. Becker's hair was
cropped close to his head and his face
was clean shaven. The right trouser
leg was split from the bottom to the
knee in order that the electrode might
be strapped against the bare flesh.

with the fish and game laws without their consent That
may be all right from his point of view but there are
many other persons who believe that set Of men, or no
organization has right to make and administer laws
which affect all the people in their own way; to set up in

and fish are part of our natural resources in which all
interested alike and legislation affecting them cannot be
other than general in character.
Yet nobody wants to infringe on any reasonable pre-
