THE ASSEMBLY
A LARGE CROWD VISITED THE
LAKE YESTERDAY.

There was the usual Sunday crowd
at the assembly at Lake Madison yes
terday. Ticket sales amounted to
$3.50 and receipts from all sources
$740. The only disappointment of
the assembly was the non-arriyal of

for a lecture, The Thinker, and a de-
bate with Charles Edward Russell on
Socialism. Brahms Quartet is on
the ground and made their first APP
~pearance last evening. They will re-
main until the close of the assembly.
The cause of the non-arriyal of DR..
Hill is that he is president of the

the organization is N session in New
York, necessitating his attendance.
Brahms Quartet and the band will
entertain this evening, with debate
on Socialism at $50.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, July 12.-Special: Ger
many's reply to the American note
regarding submarine warfare, which
was brought to the attention of the
German government after the sink
ing of the Lusitania, reiterates the
assurance that American ships will
not be interfered with so long as they
are engaged in legitimate trade, nor
the lives of Americans upon neutral
ships be endangered.
The German government makes
the assurance also that German sub
marines will be instructed to permit
the passage of American passenger
ships. but in return entertains the
hope that the American government
will see that these ships do not carry
contraband. Should the number of
passenger ships flying the American
flag prove inadequate, Germany an
nounces that ii is willing to permit
America to place in service four hos
tile passenger steamers under the
American flag to ply between Euro
pean and American ports.
An advance of 700 yards along a
narrow front in the Vosges, in which
the French captured 500 unwounded
Germans and the surrender OF the
German forces in German southwest
Africa to Gen. Botha, are the latest
important war developments. These
successes and the stand being made
by the Russians in southern Poland
are cited by British military critics
as proof that the tide of the wal Is
turning.
The bombardment of Arras contin-
ues and violent artillery actions are
reported between the Disc and Aisne
rivers. Along other sections of the
western front, with the exception OF
an artillery action in the forest oil

ment announces comparative quiet

Several Narrow Escapes from Death

Lennon. July 12.-Lightning has
done considerable damage in the vi

During a storm while the North

church, passing down the chimney
and striking Mrs. Marion Barrett on
the head, passing down her back and
into the floor at her heels. The cleo

ALARM OF fire
BUT FORTUNATELY NO FIRE
WAS IN EXISTENCE.

About 1870 Saturday evening an
electric fire alarm was turned in, the
bell at the fire station was sounded,
the firemen fled toward the fire sta
ton and people who had retired early
were aroused from their slumbers-
but almost Immediately there was a
single tap of the bell, signaling fire
out" Now all this commotion was
the result of real hospitality on the
part of Miss Gladys Sylvester, one of
the night operators at the telephone
exchange. Miss Anna Loner of Nun
da was her guest and she was invited
by Miss Sylvester to spend the night
at the exchange that they might visit
between hellos. As another mark of
hospitality and to add to the comfort
of the office Miss Sylvester invited
her guest to touch the button which
starts the electric fans. Instead Miss
Loner pushed the fire alarm button
and bang went the electric gong cor
ner Egan avenue and Fifth street,
the ward alarms of the city were set
off, the big fire bell tangled, men ran
heller SHELTER to the fire station and
jerked out the fire apparatus, dogs
barked, and the frightful alarm OF
fire resounded throughout the city al
the dread hour of night-all because
two girls were visiting. But as nc
harm resulted there is nobody tc
complain.

How to Destroy
Dandruff Germs

That the dandruff germ is re-
sponsible for nearly all the dis
eases to which the scalp is heir
as well as for badness and prema-
ture gray hair, is a we'll known
fact, but when we realize that Ii Is
also indirectly responsible for many
of the worst cases of catarrh and
consumption, we appreciate the i'm
portance of any agent that will de-
stroy its power. We are, therefore,
particularly pleased to give here
with the prescription which an EN-
inent scientist states he has found,
after repeated tests, to completely
destroy the dandruff germ in from
one to three applications. 1t Will
also almost Immediately stop fall
ing hair and 1t has in numerous
cases produced a new hair growth
after years of badness. This pre-
scrfption can be made up at home,
or any druggist will put 1t up for
you: s ounces of Bay Rum, 2
ounces Lavona de Compose, one
half drachm Menthol Crystals. Mix
thoroughly, and after standing half
an hour 1t Is ready for use. Apply
night and morning, rubbing into
the scalp with the finger-tips. If
you wish II perfumed, add 1 drachm
OF your favorite perfume. While
this preparation Is not dye 1t Is
unequaled for restoring gray hair
10 Its original color.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky
hair, do by all means get rid of
dandruff, for 1t will starve your
hair and ruin 1t If you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash 1t out. The
only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve 1t, then you
destroy 1t entirely. To do this,
get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and tracesof It.
You WILL find, too, that all itch
fng and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces Is all you will need, no
matter how much dan1IEuff you
have. This simple re y never
fails.

wasps and hornets and probably
understands their nature as well
as anyone.
He discovered that hornets
hate the buzz of motors. 1t seems
to enrage them. SO he commenc-
ed training them. He'd start his
auto engine going, opened the
window of the loft, and a few
hundred hornets would dash at
the motor and attack anything
near 1t. When they came back he
had drops of molasses for them
as a reward.
He got them so that when a
city guy went by in a machine a
mile away he could open the
window, let them hear the noise,
and they'd go for it like a flock
of bullets. He figures that he
can, in case of war, take boxes of
his trained hornets to the front
and whenever an aeroplane comes
near, can send the hornets up at
it. He'll guarantee one hornet to
knock any fellow out of his seat
in an aeroplane at one swat.
