Marshall, and produced by members of the Outing Club for the benefit of the Indiana Collegian' Base Ball Team, will be presented in the Auditorium, next Thursday and Friday 'evenings.

Last season Indiana was represented by a ball team, which was hard to beat and which won all the series it entered. The team was known in the western part of Pennsylvania as one of the fastest teams in the Independent circuit. This year the circuit has formed a league, which contains about twenty or more teams, ranging from Carnegie to Johnsonburg and all of the cities that' are represented have produced good teams, equal to many in the minor leagues. Indiana has beeq represented at the meetings of the various team heads and have received different offices. If Indiana wants to be in the running and make any kind of a showing its -players must be thoroughly equipped with uniforms, and all this takes money.

In producing the play, all the receipts taken in on the two night's performances will be given to the team by the members of the Outing Club. For the past six weeks the young people of town have been practicing and have accomplished more than the majority of amateur players. The seat sale will open at Hall's, the first of next week. REV.

Samuel G.

Dixoh, State Commissioner of Health, has asked us to announce that Indiana's Free Tuberculosis Dispensary, located in the Citizen's Bank building, Philadelphia street, is open every Wednesday morning from 11 to 12 o'clock, for the treatment of patients. Dr. W. A. Simpson, of Indiana, is the physician in charge and his assistant is Miss A.

Hensel, a registered dispensary nurse from Punxsutawney. Miss Hensel, in addition to the office work, visits the homes of all dispensary patients and, in a practical way, assists in enforcing the instructions and advice of the physician. Tuberculosis each year in Pennsylvania is responsible for the death of approximately 10,000 citizens. It is estimated that there are from 60,000 to 100,000 people in the State who are suffering from the disease. A large proportion of these victims are engaged in earning a livlihood.

An employe who is in poor health is a detriment to the plant at which he or she is employed. Poor health means diminished production; even where the Wage earner is healthy and members of the family are sick the worry and strain detract from efficiency. Establishments engaged in the production or handling of fpod supplies of various kinds are particularly affected by the presence of tuberculosis among their employes. The Tuberculosis Dispensaries located in each county of the State are intended for the care of people suffering from tuberculosis, who, for any reason, find it a hardship to provide themselves with special treatment and extra food required in the treatment of tuberculosis. In addition to the dispensaries, the Commonwealth maintains Senatoria where treatment is entirely free to poor people suffering from tuberculosis.

Admission to the Sanatoria an be secured by application at one of the dispensaries. are expected to go to the dispensary most easily reached from their homes.

In addition to the boys from the Prairie, there were three companies of marine guards from the Utah and Florida, as well as bluejackets from the same vessels, about 800 or 900 in all. We expected and received a warm welcome from the Mexicans. They let us land in peace and everything was quiet, We were still in close order and -marching in column of squads along the street, when windows were thrown open suddenly along the route of march and the Mexicans opened fire in our faces, This created a little disorder, coming unexpectedly as it did, The marines of the advance established a line along the only street running across the town and plantet Colt machine guns at the head of each street, giving us a clean sweep of the town to the arsenal, where the Mexicans had gathered in force. We raked everything in sight for three- quarters of an hour, The firing started at as near as I can guess, In about half an hour word came along the line to watch the housetops, the Mexicans had resorted to the olc Spanish style of fighting the roofs, "The firing continued all day, ane all night.
