BRUTAL hazing.
inflicted UpoTa Voune Student
lof at Purdue University.
Austi „ Parker, eon of J. B. Park
~f this city, and a student in
t f r ,. s ta»n dan. of Purdue Um-
Lafayette, was the victim
' r i ivizine by his fellow
of a cruel hazing > j
students. , . , .
He was decoyed from his board
in house after nightfall and was
Xto the woods four miles
# His clothes wore stripped entire
lvfronl his person, and he was
sashed with switches into singing
an d dancing, after which he was
compelled to mount a stump and
deliver a speech, his family histo
ry the text. .
Whenever he hesitated the fla
gellation was renewed. The frosty
a ir made him shiver, and, to warm
him, tallow candles were lighted
and the hot grease was permitted
to drip over his person.
After the tortured lad had fin
ished his speech, his tormenters,
daubed him all over with red ink,
forced a watermelon over his head
for a cap, and abandoned him in
the darkness, leaving him to find
his clothing as best he could, and
walk back to his rooms. Young
Parker is only 17 years old and of
delicate built.
The exposure prostrated him
and his condition gives concern.
The college authorities have kept
the hazing a secret, but the grand
jury of that county is investigat
ing. No cause is known for the
assault, as Parker is a quiet, inof
fensive lad of studious habits. The
affair is the most brutal in the
history of Indiana colleges for
years.

HATED TO GO.
But Business Calfed-the Convict
ed Murderer and he Broke Jail.
Somerset, Ky , October 3.—80 b
Eldrige, the noted murderer, under
sentence, who was confined here,
broke jail early this morning, and
there is no clew to his whereabouts
He escaped by sawtcg the bars of
a small ventilating window. Eld
ridge left the following note to
Jailer W. S. Shepherd.
“Kind Sir; I hate to have to
tell you that I am going home to
Missouri, I have some business to
settle that is beneficial to my dear
wife and children, Mr. Morrow
said my case in the Court of ap
peals was put off until November
15.
Kind sir, don’t be mad with me
for you have treated me with great
courtesy. I will come back before
time for my case to be argued in
the Court of Appeals .
I hope this will not put any of
my friends against me, for I love
my friends, and my enemies I do
hot hate. It goes hard with me to
think I have been accused of a
crime that another man who now
sleeps in hie grave, committed .
I had almost as soon take a whip
ping as to go, but for the.benefit of
my family I have resolved to go. I
hope that my leaving will not be
for the worst. Hoping that I will
be a free man someday, I remaih,
yours respectfully,
• '*R. B. Eldridge.”
A jubilee Celebration.
Fifty years is a longtime—much
more than t e average lie ime.
Men, therefore, naturally note such
periods. Just now Messrs. Perry
Davis & Son, of Providence, R. 1.,
the proprietors of Pain-Killer, are
celebrating the jubilee of that good
old household remedy, and have
doubled the capacity of -their -bot
tles, without increasing the price.
This will of course make Pain-Kil
ler more popular than ever. For
fifty years it has been the family
medicine chest in countless homes
in every 'country on the globe.
Once given a trial, it stays in any
home, where, when anything hap
pens, the bottle is reached for.
When one reflects that two years
is the average life of a patent med
icine, these fifty years proves very
plainly that if Pain-Killer had not
been all that it claims, it would
have gone into oblivion long years
ago. The old imitations of Pain-
Killer have gone the way of all
substitutes, and the newer “just as
goods” are following on, for as
long as some things are recogniz' d
as better than others, Pain-Killer
will be recognized as the best and
quickest relief for internal and
external pain.
When anything happens to you
or yours, nine times out of ten you
can cure it yourself with Pain-Kil
ler.
