The police have abandoned the investigation Into the death of Ira Rawn, president of the Monon Railway, who, It was claimed yesterday, had been shot In a tussel wltha burglar who was rob bing the Ravrn home at an early hour Wednesday morning. It Is assert ed by the authorities that the rail way magnate shot himself, and that there Is absolutely no evidence to support the story told by the fam ily that Rawri had been shot by an Intruder.

Excellent bills are on at both of the local theatres this week, aud their appreciation is best attested by the largo crowds In evidence at eacfi performance. Usually the torrid weather of July aud August has a discouraging effect upon the play houses, but this season It is quite different and the crowdB average well with those of the wintre season. Perhaps this condition Is due to the fact that the attractions are superior to those presented in the puat, or possibly, the theatregoers have taken to the stock productions, which are quite new and novel in this section. At the Star theatre "Love Tan gles" is the production that is creat ing much laughter and good feeling this week, and to say that the sev eral ntnra are strictly up-to-the-miu ute In handling the various rolls would be plucing it mild. "Love Tangles" Is one of those light, but nevertheless interesting comedy h?7 t MIHH LAURA KUUNE (At The Star.) sketches, in which numerous ''tan gles" are in evidence. I it fact, the perplexing situations are so well brought about that the audi ence Is kept in continual sus pense, only intermingled by frequent applause. If you wish to laugh as you never laughed before visit the Star theatre tonight. At the Gem theatre a beaullful drarpa. "In Susense." with Miss Heimlich starring, is causing con siderable favorable comment. t'n llke most of those stale and uninter esting plays so common In time past. "In Suspense" appeals to the hearts of those who see it, and can be witnessed over and over again with out tiresome effects. Miss lieliiilich's title as a star is not flattery, for she deserves much praise. Her work Is clever and the manner In which she handles her Hues would lead one to believe that she is an old hand on the star Other members of the company ho -! their own, and considering all. t'i production Is well worthy of prills In the event nn wish lo witness n drama of high type visit.
