PAGE TER THE OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1926 CHINESE KIDNAP MICHIGAN GIRL FOR RANSOM Missionary, of Grass Lake, Had Premonition of Fate; Seven Others Escape 500 TROOPERS SHOT Garrison at Wuchang Grows Desperate; Civilian Pop- ulation Is Starving Detroit, Oct. 6.--Miss Lydia Koébbe, one of three American mis- sionaries kidnapped Sunday by Chi. nese bandits, is a native of Grass Lake, Mich. She had evdently féared some such fate in war-torn China, because recently she sent Christmas presents to her parents with a letter explaining that her life was so fraught with danger tha: she desired to give them a token of her affection at once. Miss Koebbe and a party of nine other missionaries were attacked by the Chinese while sailing on the Yangtze river towards their station at Shenchowful, in Honan province. She is a member of the Evangeli- cal mission, and Miss Minerva Well and Karl H. Beck, of the Reformed Mission, were kidnapped, ostensibly for ransom. The seven others es- caped. Sent Christmas Presents. "Lydia had sent us our Christ- mast presents last week," her sis- ter, Mrs. H. E. Frederick, 2025 Full erton avenue, said Monday. "She never concealed from us her con- stant danger. Her party was fired on by bandits in May, when they went up the river to spend the sum. mer in Kuling, a mountain resort. According to dispatches received Monday, the 30 soldiers of the Changteh guard which had been re- tained to guard the missionaries on their journey, deserted their charges when the bandits attacked. Told Not to Worry. "My sister told us in her letters, however, that we should not worry too much in the event of a kidnap- ping, because it was a not unusual occurrence and that serious harm was rarely done by the bandit Mrs. Frederick said. "Their main object is to obtain money, she ex- plained, although there is a bitter feeling against all missionaries whom the Chinese regard as enemies of their faith." Miss Koebbe was graduated from Northwestern university and later from the White Bible School, New York, going to China three years ago as superintendent of a girls' school at Tungjen, in Kweichow province. COUPLE RECAPTURE BOA IN STATION London, Oct. 6.-~--Lady Richmond Brown and Frederick A. Mitchell- Hedges, explorers, who have just returned from Central America, to- day battled with an 18-foot boa con- strictor in their collection, which had broken loose from its cage at Pad- dington station. Lady Brown and Mr. Mitchell Hedges captured the reptile apd heaved it by main force into Its cage. While spectators in the sta- tion scatrered in all directions, Mr Mitchell. Hedges caught the shake by the reck while Lady Brown caught it by its middle, avoiding the great coils which could have crushed her easily. BANKERS LOOK FOR RECORD YEAR Consensus "of Opinion of 50,000 Financiers Is Optimistic Los Angeles, Oct. 6--This will be the most prosperous year in the history of the United States if busi- ness continues its present growth, in the opinion of Oscar Wells, Bir- mingham, Ala., president of the American Bankers! association. which opens its annual convention here. "The consensus seems to be that business will continue at a satis- factory rate throughout the rest of 1926," Wells said, '""and that when the records for the 12 months are romplete, it will outrank even the record yeal" of 1925 and stand as 'he most prosperous in the nation's history." Other delegates are of the same pinion as Wells. "There are striking evidences of the unparralleled prosperity which we are priveleged to enjoy," W. C. Wilkinson, president of the National Bank division told representatives of that division. "Industry is thriving at high tide, trade is active car loadings con- inue high, ban clearings have recently reached new totals and there is general satisfaction with 'he business trend." Wilkinson said. More thas 5,000 of the country's financiers are here for the sessions. Log Angeles bankers have raised $50,000 for the entertainment® of the visitors and the business ses- sions will be interspersed with trips to Catalina Island, visits to the mo- vie studios, barbecue dinners, ban- quets and golf contests.

TRAGIC DEATH FOLEOWS JOKE One Newspaper | Man Shoots And Kilis Fellow Worker Ya New York, Oct. 6.--A tragedy, in which one newspaper man was shct and killed by another, marked the culmination of a practical joke played in Washington, according to the story told to police by the wife of the dead man. Joseph Rudney, copy reader on a local neighborhood newspaper, died after being shot five times by Gerald Dwyer, copy. reader for a Brooklyn naper. : Mrs! Rudney, who said her father 's now a United States marshal in Charleston, W. Va., told the police 'hat several months ago, while both her husband and Dwyer were em- sloyed by a Washington newspaper, ier husband arranged a joke where- by she was to call Dwyer by tel- sphone and make him believe that a strange woman was making an ap- ointment with him. Then she was introduced to him as Mrs. Rudney, ind her husband and other newspa- permen had a laugh at Dwyer's ex- Jense. From the acquaintanceship b> tween Mrs. Rudney and Dwyer arose the cause of a quarrel which result. ed in the shooting, according lice. the where rested. of the house lived. apartment Dwyer was lobby he YOUR EYES AND HEALTH By Dr. C. H. Tuck, Opt.D, Migraine. This condition is part- ly dependant upon the physical con- dition but' greatly dependant upon ihe use of the eyes and the strain they may be subjected to. It is a well known fact that strain on the eyes is a common cause of severe headaches. nausea, dizziness biliousness, and that the correction of any existing eye conditions will bring about relief. Under this con- dition the eyes will blurr. absolutely for short periods. The eyes being the seat of many different troubles show many symp- | toms and {tis very hard for the sufferer to explain that any differ- ence exists, there are so many nerves | and muscles used in the use of the eyes, their control and vision that strain in any one of these may cause a similar complaint to that complained of when the strain is on one of the neighboring muscles. Not only does this strain be no- ticed in the neighboring nerves and muscles of the eye but the imposea strain draws heavily upon the nerve force and this constant drain may lead to. a long line of evils more extended than we think.
