DEMISE IS DEEPLY MOURNED In a vain sacrifice to bring a new life into the world, Mrs. Sarah Catherin Timmons, age 27, wife of Ross Timmons, died at the home in the Clyde Flats, South A street last evening.

The family has been prominent here for years and the deceased numbered her friendds in Elwood by the score. Lived Good Life.

The funeral will be held at the Methodist church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. J. Radcliffe in charge, and interment will follow in the city cemetery. Remarkable Cure of Dysentery.

"I was attacked with dysentery about July 15th, and used the doctor's medicine and other remedies with no relief, only getting worse all the time. I was unable to do anything and my weight dropped from 145 to 125 pounds I suffered for about two months when I was advised to use Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I used two bottles of it and it gave me permanent relief," write B. W. Hill of Snow Hill, N.

ESSIG BROS. Our Abused Feet. There have been many railing acco sations brought against civilization, but may they not all be summed and typified in the prevalent customa el abusing feet? We inclose them in leather air tight coverings, and may this not be why our souls are so hidebound? When we wish to be particularly civil we paint this leather with an impervious polish that the ten poor prisoners in the two black holes of Calcutta may be exquisitely punished. When I think of the abuse heaped upon our feet, how the toes are misshapen by irrational compression, how the arches are broken by high heels, and how corns, bunions and abrasions afflict alike the darling of fashion in her too narrow boots and the laborer in his hard brogans, and how humanity climbs on utterly without initiative to break the bonds of habit. I do not wonder at the other things they News.

An Absentminded Amateur. They were talking about their husbands over the tea things. Husbands and the weather supply the same vacuum between the gales of gossip. "Theophilus, you know, is very absentminded and so wrapped up in his new study of photography that that's all be thinks of. You can't imagine the time I have with him." She paused a moment to imagine it herself, while her listener found an Idle interest in creasing the lace ends with her fingers.

"Oh, this is what I was going to tell you! Theophilus came out of the dark room the other evening just as dinner was set. I says to him.

CONDITIONS IN CHICAGO feed scarcity. Greater Part Cut Off. The greater part of the import trade Prices remained firm in local markets yesterday with prespects of an advance of about 2 or 3 cents a bushel on wheat today. While the prices were wavering and threatening to make a sudden slide toward the low mark yesterday the assurance of protection to shipping given by England has again started the movement of grain noticed before the war opened and consequently steadier prices. However strong the assurances buyers stated late yesterday that they would run no risks and that they would advance prices very slowly in order to be on the safe side.

That farmers ate holding back grain either for use or are waiting for high prices was shown yesterday at Anderson when barely enough grain reached town to supply local demand and it was necessary to draw upon stored grain in ordder to supply the demand for ground feed. Drop in Hog Market. It was stated this morning that it would not come as much of a surprise if the bottom dropped out of -prices offered for hogs today. A sudden and unexpected drop of forty cents in the Indianapolis markets yesterday and like decreases over the country will have its effects here before the week has closed, it is feared. The blame for the drop was given to the slack market caused by the war and not the flooding of the market because of a from Europe already has been cut off on account of the seizure of railway facilities in France and Germany by the governments for military purposes and the holding in port of trans-Atlantic vessels of these countries.

Merchandise importations here from France and Germany alone averaged $1,000,000 daily. The export trade presented a still larger problem. American exports to Europe under normal conditions average $4,000,000 daily, nearly one-third of which is for France and Germany direct. All of the trade, at least for the moment, is blocked. The remainder, including the one-third which usually goes to England, is halted by the present absence of facilities for financing the export movement.

With this problem the commercial and banking interests of New York began to deal, but even the most experienced bankers were unable to give an idea today of what the solution would be. SENSATIONAL CHARGE WITHDRAWN BY FATHER Prosecution Against Young People Arrested Yesterday Dropped. Upon the plea of the father, Rudolph Wisotzky, the charges yesterday placed against Miss Edna Wisotzky and Marion Hockensmith, both well known young people of this city were dismissed last evening. In the complaint of the father, it was alleged that the couple had been living together for several weeks at Richmond, and this despite the fact that it was farther alleged Hockensmith has a wife in the east. In asking that the charges be dropped the father stated that his daughter and consented to remain at home and have nothing more to do with Hockensmith, and prefering, to give her another chance rather than push the prosecution the parents and police consented to drop the matter.

Whether any trouble will result if the father and the young man should happen to meet, remains to be seen, but it is felt that the latter has left the city for the present at least.
