EVANSVILLE

Detective Sergeant Delbert Billiard,
of the Chicago force, at one time an
Evansville boy and one who has made
good in Chicago and who is now a plain
clothes man in that city, is spending
ten DAYS furlough in this city visiting
his friends and relatives.
Articles of incorporation of a firm to
be known as the Farmers Milk Com
pany, located at Evansville, have been
filed with Register of Deeds Smiley.
The corporation is capitalized at $40, 600
and has been organized for the purpose
of preparing for market, storing, buy
ing and selling farm produce and handl-
ing fuel.
Mrs. Emeline Adams was born in
Ludlow, Vermont, Jan. %, 1912. She
came west with her parents in 1856
and located in Union, where she made
her home for many years before NOV
ing to Evansville. She married Mr..
Caleb Snashell in November, 1866. He
was a prominent hardware dealer and
died in 1904.
Monday, while the occupants were in
Evansville attending the home talent
show in which the son Vincent had
prominent part, the Ludden farm resi-
dence, five miles east of Evansville,
caught fire and was burned to the
ground, together with all it's contents.
When the fire was first seen by the
neighbors it was coming out of the
windows and though all the neighbors
fastened to the scene, the fire had
gained such Roadway that nothing
could be saved. The barn and other
buildings were saved. How the fire
started is mystery and perhaps will
never be known. The residence was
the property of Mrs. Ella Ludden.
Sumner Fl. Frost was born in YER
mont, March Is, 1888. In 1849 he came
to Union with his parents, Harvey and
Mary Frost, where he resided for 81
years. June 5, 1875, he was married
to Emma Powers of Oregon, Wis, who
survives him. In 1908 he left the farm
and moved to Evansville where he
passed away Nov. 26th, after brief
illness. His sisters, Mrs. Gilmore
Vaughan of Minnesota and Mrs. Reu-
ben Johnson of Evansville, died a few
years ago. He leaves wife and one
sister, Mrs. w. HI. I'll. Johnson, and
four children, Ethel Frost of Evans
vile, Mrs. Dora Chaplin of Brooklyn,
Frank S. Frost and Mrs. Atollee
Blaine, both of Chicago. Two children
by former marriage live in the West.

Stomach Trouble and Constipation

Those who are afflicted with stomach
trouble and constipation should read
the following: 81 have never found
anything so good for stomach trouble
and constipation as Chamberlain's Tab
lets. have used them off and on now
for the past two years. They not only
regulate the action of the bowels but
stimulate the liver and keep ones body
in healthy condition. writes Mrs.
Benjamin Hooper, Auburn, N. Y.

 Relieving that the rollowing matter from the Youngstown tO.) Telegram of recent date, will prove interesting and instructive to all consumers of coal and coke, as also to the coal operators O Alabama, is why I am suggesting it in the Sunday edition of The Age Herald:
 Production of coal In Ohio and West Virginia, however. is expected to be greatly relieved bv plans sug- gested bv coal operators who blame car shortages and congestion at tern'irals for the present scarcity.

 The assistant secretaryship of the navy has always been fortunate in attracting men of this sort, men who impressed themselves upon the de- partment and upon the public con sciousness. Everyone will think al once in this connection of the famous Assistant Secretary of the r,avy of the same surname as the present one, who was a vigorous preparedness man In the days before the Spanish war, and who afterward became President. There is something more than a fam fly resemblance between the colonel and his fifth cousin, who is now his successor. Then there was Fox, who was Assistant Secre tary of the Navy when Gideon Welles was secretary in civil war times Welles deserves much credit from his country for his sym pathetic support of Lincoln in the cabinet, of which. perhaps he was the most loyal member.

Free Prescription You Can Have
 Filled and Use at Home
 Philadelphia. Pa. Do you wear glasses? Are you q victim of eye strain or other eye weakness? If so. You will be glad to know that according to pr. Lewis there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man says, after trying it: II was almost hlind could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more At night they would pain dreadful ly; now they feel fine all the time. It was like miracle to me" lady who used it says: The atmosphere seemed hay with or without glasses. but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. l can even read fine print without glasses" It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now dis ca I'd them in a reasonable time and null titudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses Eve troubles of many descriptions may be
