during the four years of the assembly,
and only once, say authorities, has
yesterday's attendance been anywhere
equaled and that was during the as
sembly of the preceding year.
Col. bain, the Kentucky orator, is
one of the most widely known and
generally successful lecturers in the
United States today and whereever he
goes he has always been received by
large audiences. For 23 years he has
lectured on the Chautauqua platform
and his qualifications arc unsurpassed.
. The message he delivered yesterday
was enthusiastically and appreciatively
received.
"If I Had My Life to Live Over"
was a live subject and the way it was
presented, contained much valuable in
formation and will lastingly remain
in the memory of those who were for
tunate to hear it. Col. Bain justly
deserves the praise of one of his lead
ing contemporaries and sustained what
he said: "Xo man has done more
good on the American platform. No
audience ever felt the sway of his
oratory without the vision of a great
personality, matchless m character.
masterful in brain, sympathec in
heart and sublime m purpose.

I TYPEWRITER WAS STOLEN
! FROM ALBANY COLLEGE
Theft Discovered This Morning
by Hans Flo; Police Work
ing on the Case.
Upon entering the commercial de
partment of the Albany College this
morning. Prof: Hans Flo discovered
to his dismay that one of the type
writers was missing. Upon investi
gation, it developed that someone had
broken in and stolen the machine. It
is believed that the robbery occurred
some time in the fore part of last
week as the department was closed at
that time in good order following the
completion of the season's work. Lo
cal police authorities have been put
on the job in an effort to track the
supposed robbers and recover the typ
writer, which is of the Remington
make and the factory number is given
as 49.531. Local people are warned
to look out that they are not sold a
machine with this number and any in
formation that would lead to its re
covery would be appreciated by the
college authorities and a great favor
would be rendered the instmtion.

DENTIST MEETS
T
R. H. Curl Found This Morning
in Office Suffering from
a Hemorrhage.
TAKEN TO ST. MARY'S
FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION
False Reports As to Nature of
Accident Causes Large
Crowd to Assemble.
With his shirt literally covered with
blood, his nose terribly bruised and
swolen, R. H. Curl, a local dentist,
was found this morning shortly be
fore 12 o'clock, lying in the back door
of his office in a weakened condition
due to the loss of blood. Physicians
say that he suffered a hemorrhage.
People passing stopped and lifted him
to his cot. The ambulance was called
and the unfortunate man was hurried
off to St. Mary's Hospital for medical
attention.
Although his nose bore marks of a
heavy blow, physicians maintain that
Curl suffered from plain liemmor
rhage. So weak was he when found,
he was unable to talk. Later he said
that his nose began to bleed and the
blood gushed from it and his mouth
so rapidly that he could not stop it.
When asked if he had been struck or
if he had fallen he answered in the
negative. He faintly maintained that
there was nothing the matter with
him and that he would be all right it"
allowed to remain quiet. When the
matter of taking him to the hospital
came up her persistently declared he
would not go and put up a lee hie re
sistance while being placed in the am
bulance. When questioned closely concerning
his misfortune he absolutely refused
to talk. It could not be learned how
long he had been lying in this condi
tion, but judging from the blood on
-hirt and arms it is believed that
he suffered the hemorrhage sometime
late last night or early this morning.
When found this morning Curl was
Iving in the doorwav of the rear of
his office, gasping for breath. The
upper portion of his body was half
across the sill and it is believed that
had he not been found when he was
he would have suffered serious con
senuenccs. The rumor that a man had commit
ted suicide spread nuickly as a result
of the episode and scores were at
tracted tn the scene of the office
which i located on Ferrv street be
tween First nd Second streets, in an
Id house built on wairon wheels.

ed as recovered entirely from her
shock. The young man by the name
of Lilhird, residing nine miles south
east of here, ttie driver of the motor
cycle, was uninjured and none of the
occupants of the car received injury.
The accident was due, according to
eye witnesses, to the fault of the mo

of Tangent, and containing his wife,
Uelmed, Lorin and Kuniec Luper,
