FOR Home GUARD
HELP AUTHORIZED BS THE
STATE Is PRONnSED-COM-
PANIES ARE FORMING
EVERYWHERE.

Maj. Jas. Robertson and Capt. NJ.
H. COlgrOve met with the county
commissioners and states attorney,
Geo. r. Farmer, yesterday afternoon
at the courthouse to speak for cOun-
ty aid for the home guard as provid-
ed by senate bill No. %, passed at
the recent extra session of the state
legislature. This bill provides that
townships, villages, cities and coun-
ties may give such aid as they can
or will to the home guard, Red Cross
and council of defense during the
term of the war. The officers were
assured of the assistance asked, and
will prepare a schedule and estimate
of the amount needed for submission
to the county commissioners.
If the commissioners allow the
amount asked, those of the homo
guard who have paid for their equip
ment will be entitled to reimburse
ment for the money expended. If
they do accept the money they will be
held responsible for their suits. 1t
is expected that most will want the
equipment as private property, to do
| with as they please. The money thus
left, together with the balance of the
estimate will be used to outfit other
attachments or buy additional equip
ment. There is talk of the Mime
sofa home guard being nationalized
for state defense, and that they will
receive federal aid in equipment and
pay. There are 100 members Of the
organization in Lake county now,
and other towns desiring to form de-
tachments. 1t may be that there will
have to be another company formed.
Additional suits of uniform, order
ed some time ago, arrived last night.
Many of the Madison company have
the suits and rifles. They are begin
ming to make a real showing of mil
itary form, and are becoming recOg-
nized as a factor in the state. The
organization should be given the sup.
port of the political subdivisions OF
the state and of the state itself, and
the moral support of the people. At,
tendance and drill should be faithful,
ly attended, and their power for the
defense of the homes of the country
while the former soldiery are away
guarding the portals of the country
is as great as was that of the old or,
ganization.

some FROST
FROST AND WIND DOES SOME
DAMAGE-RAIN ONE OF
WIDE BENEFIT.

Minor damage was done in various
places yesterday by the storm of wind
and lightning. In no case reported
was there serious loss. The cupola
Of the Union Grain & Seed company's
elevator was struck by lightning, and
the roof torn considerably. A COW
belonging to r.. l.. Winesburg, four
miles north of the city, was killed by
lightning while in the pasture.
The wind blew some shaky high
board fences down, and some inse-
cure windows were blown in by the
pressure. Some board roofs were
damaged and a freight a was un,
rooted in the west yards.
Frost occurred in places last night
In some instances the cold was great
enough to form ice OF water vessels
1t is said that the mud was ever stiff,
fened by frost. 1t is thought that
very little damage to gardens oil
fields will result.
Blossoming fruit trees suffered
more or less from the combined wind
and slight hail Of the day. and the
frost of the night. The extent of thi:
damage cannot be estimated at this
time, for it is not known just how
far developed the buds were. But
there will undoubtedly be some hurt
inflicted by the elements of yesterday
and last night.
The rain was needed, and on the
whole was a mighty beneficial oc,
curence. The ground is not soaked
by any means but sufficient moisture
fell to keep grain growing for some
time in the event that no more falls
for some days.

gratified over the cantata, Snow

evidenced by a crowded house for
both afternoon and evening enter

taken in was $3.50.
Those having the principal parts,
Helen Carr, Frances Porter, John

well suited to the parts, showed much
natural ability and such willingness
to follow suggestions that Monday
they were a delight to their audi

morning from attending federal court

there we're eight cases of violation Of
