SILAs EBERS0LE KILLS SELF
Body Of Former Dunkard Minister Is
Found Hanging in Cell at South
Bend Jail.

South Bend, Ind, Aug. 18.-Silas N.
Ebersole, the former Dunkard minis
ter. who had been formally accused of
numbering Hazel Macklin, aged tif-
teen, in August, 1914, ended his life in
a cell at the county Jail by hanging.
Though there seemed no doubt that
Ebersole took his own life, Charles A.
Davey, the attorney who was to have
defended him, gave out sensational
statement in which he said Ebersole
had been murdered. Davey named no
one. The police are investigating
Ebersoles body was found hanging
to the iron bars in the rear of his CELL
Ebersole left nothing in the way of
a confession.

MUNITIONS SALE TO THE ALLIES
DEFENDED BY THE UNITED
STATES.
WON'T HINDER SHIPMENTS
Reply to Acknowledgements Note Up
Holds Right to Deal in Arms
Cites Instances When Austria Sold
Munitions to BelIgerents.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE reply OF
the United States to the note of Aus
tria-Hungary. refusing to stop the ex-
portation of arms and munitions to
the enemies of that nation as request
ed in representations June 20. was
made public here on Sunday
Among the reasons for this refusal
the United States gave the following:
To refuse the sale of implements OF
war to belligerents would force mill
tarism on the world and work against
universal peace which is the desire
and purpose of all nations which exalt
Justice and righteousness with one
another.
The principle of equalization, urged
by Hungary, should apply to
belligerents superior on land as well
as sea- thus imposing on neutral ma
tions a duty to sit in judgment on the
progress of a war.
During the Boer war, the Crimean
war and the Balkan war arms and am
munition were sold to belligerents by
both Germany and Austria-Hungary.
The policy of the United States
since the founCatiol of the republic
has been to permit the sale of war
supplies to belligerents so that this
nation, which in times of peace main
tains no large military establishment,
may have access to markets of other
nations for the purchase of war equip
ment when attacked by foreign
mower

Sudden Order Gives Rise to Many
Conjectures as to Cause of
Change of Plans.

London, Aug. 14-Wide circulation
was given on Thursday to a rumor
that the government had received
news Of military successes closely at
fecting Russia. This rumor was based
on the activity at rising prices Of
Russian securities on the stock ex-
change. Russian exchange dropped
eight points to 1876.
Chicago. Aug. 14.-The Chicago

grain trade-closed on Thursday in
feverish excitement following the can
collation. by representatives Of the al
lies of grain contracts aggregating
over 100000 bushels of wheat, re-
Gently bought for September ship
ment.
What word the European buyers re-
ceived from abroad remained a mys-
terry. 1t was Of sufficient import,
however, to cause the foreign buyers
to surrender a profit of around ten
cents a bushel, or over 100000 on
the contracts Cancelled, so that they
might be relieved of them.
Not only were cancellations report
ed by Chicago houses, but some of
the seaboard exporters claimed to
have closed out all open contracts, in
one instance the United Kingdom buy
er reselling at equal to % cents under
what the same wheat would cost de-
livered in Liverpool. Canadian ex-
porteSs also reported cancellations
and three cargoes of Argentina corn
were Cancelled by Italy. France also
resold wheat in this country.
Whether the Dardanelles was on the
verge of being forced, which would re-
lease Russian grains for European con-
sumption, or whether there had been
authoritative information that the
wheat crop of Roumania had in some
way become accessible to the allies,
was a question much discussed by
prominent grain men.

BY HURRICANE.
WIND BLOWS rs MILES HOUR
Texas Coast Towns Struck by Ter
rifle Wind and Rain Storm-No Lives
Reported Lost in Galveston-Refu-
gees Marooned at Railroad Station.

Fl. Worth, Tex, Aug. 18.-The Santa
Fe railroad reports that it is confirmed
that 100 feet of the causeway connect
ing Galveston with the mainland has
been washed out. The structure cost
100000 Work trains are being
rushed to Galveston.
Houston, Tex, Aug. 18.-With the
wind blowing rs miles an hour, water
filling the streets, the light and power
plant out Of commission the people of
Galveston are fleeing from the city on
every train. Practically every town
along the Texas gulf coast reports SIM
liar conditions. Although the actual
damage at this time is confined to a
few houses blown over and no known
loss Of life the situation is growing
worse with such alarming rapidity
that fear of another disaster is ex-
pressed everywhere and all precau-
tions possible taken to meet disas-
ter.
The streets of Galveston are full of
water and boats are running through
the streets carrying families to posi-
tons of better safety.
The water has not broken over the
sea wall, however and the sea wall
has not been damaged. The water
backed into the streets from the low
er end of the island This sea wall,
which once before, in 1909, stood a
severe test of storm, is II feet high,
sloping and at some places is 30 feet
wide, forming a boulevard. The dis
aster of 1900 in which 5000 persons
lost their lives started in exactly the
same manner.
The manager of the Postal in leav-
ing his Office declared he would stay
no longer as he must leave to protect
his own family. A strict censorship
also has been established as the Gal
weston officials fear that false rumors
will be given out. While loss of life
may be caused it will not be due to
destruction of the big sea wall for its
wrecking is almost an impossibility as
it is built as part of the mainland.
Railroad Offices here report that
hundreds have fed to stations in an
effort to get out of the city.
The towns of Sabine and Sabine
Pass have been deserted as we'll as
Port Lavaca. Refugees say that 9TH
ers are trapped. Water is reported in
streets of every coast town from Cor
pus Christie to Orange.

Annual Plants for
New|yGradedGTound

A few well chosen annual plants
placed on newly graded ground will
do much to take the place of trees
and shrubs until the latter may have
time to grow, according to the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul.
lures specialist. 1t is often a ques-
tion in a new community where slow
growing vegetation has not had an
opportunity, as to what may be done
to make grounds seem less bare. A
lawn can be made in a few weeks
and its appearance may be greatly In
creased by the addition Of well cho-
sen ANIMALS.
The specialist suggests as particu,
larly suited for this purpose the fol-
lowing plants, which may be grown
in most parts OF the United States:
Tall foliage plants-Castor bean,
caladium, Gamma.
Tall Towering plants-Cosmos, scar
let sage, sunflowers.
Border ts-Alternanthera, alys-
sum, ageratum, coleus.
Medium tall annual Towering
plants-Geranium, California poppy
(Eschscholtzia), Zinnia, marigo!d, as
ter, petunia, cockscomb, larkspur, ma
sturtium.
Climbing annuals-Cobasca scand'
ems, moonhower, Japanese morning
glory.
Varieties in color and contrast in
height and general effect should be
studied in placing the plants.
The general appearance of plants
on the home grounds or in the gar
den is more or less dependent upon
the condition of nearby lawns.
Lawns are the foundation OF all de-
corative planting. A good, well kept
lawn contributes more to the beauty
OF grounds than any other single
factor. For this reason special at
tenticn should be given to the grad
ing, cultivation, and enriching Of the
area to be devoted to the lawn. After
good preparation come good seed and
care.
The variety Of soils which will be
encountered and the special treat
ments which they need render it pos
sible, ,tg make only the broadcast gen.
civilizations here. For localities
north of St.. Louis, Mo-, and Rich
mond, Va, lawns can be formed chief
ly of blue grass, redtop, and white
clover. South of this point Bermuda
grass and st. Augustine grass will
have to be relied upon chiefly. al
though 1t is said that in some places
alfalfa has been employed with good
results.
The U. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture has a bulletin on Lawn Soils
and Lawns" No. 494, and a bulletin
on "Beautifying the Home Grounds

Helps for the
Spring Cleaning
BY Hilda Barker

Women should not attempt the
spring cleaning too early. AS rule,
many women find themselves all run
down when spring comes and to at
tempt the cleaning while in that con-
dition is very foolish. They should
wait until the weather is thoroughly
settled and they have enjoyed taste
of spring days and plenty of fresh air
before starting in.
Then winter clothing can be hung
out of doors, carpets, draperies, cur
tains and so forth can be taken up
and allowed to remain on the line for
a thorough airing before being re-
placed or stored away.
sunny day should be chosen for
emptying drawers, closets and ward
robes when windows and doors may
be opened widely for sun and air to
enter.
Do the lesser jobs before attempt
ing the heavier ones. For instance,
to go through books and years ac-
emulation Of magazines and papers
takes long time, and II this Is done
Gas 1t can be- before the actual house
cleaning begins, it will be great
help.
Bureaus, closets and wardrobes
may be put in order also head Of
time, doing little each day, but not
allowing ones self to become too
tired.
Many a niekle makes a muckle,"
and it is astonishing how this ap-
plies to house cleaning. Do little
at time, and by and by everything
will be in order.
Few women need to be told to do
one room at time and not have the
whole house upset. Where there is
painting and papering to be done this
is not always feasible but the good
housekeeper will make her plans be-
forehand, SO that the renovating can
be done with the least discomfort to
the family.
In cleaning paint use little soap on
account Of the alkali 1t contains.
Paint can be kept in good condition
all the year around by wiping off with
a cloth moistened with kerosene.
A step ladder Is necessity at
house cleaning times and a strip of
rubber fastened to the ends will pre-
vent its slipping on bare floor. An
other handy thing to have around is
a stick, say three or four feet long
and about an inch in diameter fitted
with hook screw at one end. With
this one can reach for articles that
may have fallen on the floor or be-
hind furniture. Also to help with the
shades or pictures. in fact, for mnay
purposes.
A woman who is handy can work
wonders with q can Of enamel and a
brush. She can touch up bedsteads
enamelled furniture and even paint.
With little experience and some
patience whole sets of old furniture
can be made to blossom into new
with pots Of paint.
When cleaning the bath room (the
medicine closet can be put in order
before the actual cleaning begins)
look for cracks and crevices. Wash
these with strong soap and water
then fill up with plaster of paris.
The red stains m porcelajn can he
removed by applying muriatic acid,
one part Of the acid to ten Of water,
with a swab on stick. The solution
must not touch the hands.
Rugs and carpets can be washed
