All that was mortal of John

reposed in "the big ice box" at
the Cook county morgue today.
And thousands, who Stunned
him alive, were strangely coura-

morgue to see him dead.
A squad Of police officers sur
rounded the building to keep
doors from being crashed in, to
keep women and children from
being crushed and injured in the
morbid throng that pressed
against the building of death.
Looks, Turns Away
Some were satisfied at seeing
his battered straw hat-smaShed
by the feet Of the crowd that
surrounded his body, sprawled in
an alley, after he was shot down
by Federal men last night-his
sharply pressed gray trousers, his
blood-stained white shirt.
But others made their way into

the most ruthless, cruel spirit
that ever defied the laws Of
society.

INDIANAPOLIS, July % I.N.S0
Mrs. Mary Kinder, petite sweet
heart of Harry Pierpont, disclosed
here today that "quite recently"
she had talked to Johnnie Dill
linger."
With blazing eyes, she scorned
the thought that she might have
turned in the outlaw and reaped
the $4,000 reward money put up
by the Federal Government and
five States. .-. -..
Mrs. Kinder admitted that she
devoted her waking hours to the
thought of how to get Pierpont
out of the death row Of the Ohio
State prison. He was placed there
for being the trigger man" in the
Staying of Sheriff Jesse Sarber
October IL, last, in the freeing Of
Dillinger from the Lima (Ohio)
Jail.
'Is it honestly. true that John.
ME is dead?" Mrs. Kinder asked,
with emOtiOnless tones, as she
looked suspiciOusly at the re-
porter.
Having been assured that the
outlaw was dead, she was asked
whether she had any comment to
make. Mrs. Kinder said:
"YOu don't expect a girl to be
prepared to say very much when
you have just told her that one
Of her best friends has been
killed"

was fearful, awful.

as the most fearless man on the
Chicago police force, who has
shot it out with 13 bad men and
has 13 notches in his gun butt,

body Of the man he has sought
for months:

Of BAUM
AVENGED |

CHICAGO, July % QN.SO.
Department Of Justice agents here
today felt that the death of w.
Carter Baum, one of their mem
bers who was killed in the Dillin-
ger raid at Spider Lake, Wis,
April %, had in some measure
been avenged.
When Dillinger made his escape
from Little Bohemia Lodge there
exactly three months previous to
his death, one Of his gang, George
("Baby Face") Nelson shot and
killed Baum.
At that time the agents Swore
that they would make the gang
atone for Baum's death and that
no mercy would be shown any of
the mob who were located.
Since that time these young
men of the Department of Justice
have kept their guns oiled and
have been ready t1 shoot at the
drop Of the hat.
They have been determined
that no more Of their men would
die at the hands of this gang and
have been ready to get the first
drop" on any Of the bandit
gang.
Tommy Carroll, one Of Dill
linger's henchmen was killed at
Waterloo, Iowa, when he re-
sisted arrest and the leader went
the same way last night.
Next on the list, according to

Why Hospitals Use
Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have ALWAYS
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need, It
FERNS no habit; you need not take a
double dose" a day or two later.
Nor wW a mild liquid lazatipe irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose Of liquid laxative
brings a more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
Aproperly prepared liquid laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
1t gently helps the average persons
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. 1t makes an ideal family laxa-
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.

world never made an education m
situation. What counts is the teach
ers and their ability to inspire the
young folk who come to learn.
The people of Brown County,
Nebraska, are alive to that truth.
unable to send their children to a
town high school, several miles a.
way; unable to finance the constuc :
ton of a modern high. school build
ing; they have built with their
own hands a sod house of the an
Gent prairie type to make a place
where teachers and student can
meet, taxing themselves for the
salaries of good teachers.
Even so did the ancient teachers
and founders of some of the worlds
great universities meet the demand
of eager youth for learning. The
very word "acadmeny" comes from
the grove of Academic where Plato
taught his disciples in the woods.
Abelard, founder of the University
of Paris, began in a rude hut,
around which students pitched their
tents.
There is hope for America so
long as such devotion to education
finds expression in spite of material
difficulties. And we venture that
the boys and girls who attend school
in this Nebraska sod house will
cherish the memory Of that Alma
Mater and remember what they
learned there longer than many
whose schooling takes place in
Gothic temples.

WHAT THE
MEAN TO O

What the railroads mean to the
American people was well express
ed in a recent statement by A. J.
County of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn. The financial condition of
the lines affects the financial
status of about SO per cent OF the
population, who either own rail-
road securities themselves or own
them Indirectly through insurance,
banking, educational and similar
institutions which are heavy in
vestors in railroad stocks and
bonds.
The railroads give employment
to about 100000 people, whose
Jobs are imperiled when the lines
operate at a loss. Millions of other
workers, in mines, factories and all
types of industry are dependent on
railroad purchases for their liveli-
hood. In normal times, railroads
are the greatest single purchaser OF
supplies in the nation.
Government itself-local, coun-
ty, state and nationals depend
emit on the lines for much of its
tax revenue. Railroad money
|paves roads, builds buildings, car
ries on all kinds of government &C
Invites, and educates thousands Of
our children.
Every person benefits when rail
roads prosper-every person feel
the i'll effects when they are de-
pressed. 1t is an excellent sigr
that thousands of industrialists, re.
presenting all lines of business, art
behind the movement to give thu
rails a fair deal.

lieve that. Whatever may be our
own pleasant memories of the Sc
cretly read thrillers of our child
hood days, we prefer as parents to
have our children like good litera-
ture. And we do Jul best to pro-
vide attractive libraries at school
and in the community and at least
a shelf or a reading nook in our
homes.
From food comes the child's
growth, energy, and strength. He
works, studies, and plays on what
he eats. On that score alone his
nutrition deserves u closest atten-
ion. The school lunch is one of three
daily meals and therefore becomes
significant, as a source of nourish-
ment. For the child's sake we can't
afford to think of it as merely a
"stop gap" while the child is away
from home. 1t isn't just a picnic,
any more than going to school can
be regarded as a party. The school
lunch shrieks it's Importance. 1t
calls for planning. 1t demands an
attractive place, and the food ques-
ton deserves just as much serious
consideration as any part. of the
|cl lids school life.

Four hundred and forty-two
years ago Cristobal Colon, whose
name we Anglicize into Christopher
Columbus, set out from Palos to
find a new, short route to India.
AS someone wrote: HE did not
know where he was going, he did
not know where he was when he ar
rived, and he did not know where
he had been when he got back"
He believed that he had found the
eastern coast of Asia. Instead, he
had found a new. world, undreamed
of by all but a few adventurous
dreamers like himself.
To finance his voyage, Columbus
appealed to the Queen of Spain in
the name of her religion. Isablla
was not interested in exploration.
but she was interested in the saliva
ton of human souls, To spread
the Gospel of Christ among the
heather she sold her jewels and aid
ed Columbus to venture forth from
Palos on his perilous quest. And
the first act of the discoverer on
landing was to raise the Cross upon
the island sands and kneel with his
whole company in prayer.
The hordes of adventures that
followed Columbus to the New
World thought more of gold and
