BurtV Dasher to Go to London. "AH things come to him who waits,' as John 1. Sullivan said after his famous defeat, and the historical aphorism just row applies to "Burt" Dasher, the Hoosler impresario of this city, who has been associated with tha Charles II. Hoyt successes for many years. As an advance agent Dasher has been aa great a success in tha theatrical business as McKlnley in politics. There is hardly a city of prominence in tho United States, from Yarmouth to San .Jose, where "Burt" Dasher Is not favorably known to both theatrical and newspaper people and for this reason he has .been -worth, many times his salary to. the Hoyt & ' McKee Company and . should .have been, taken In as partner Ions ago. . His managerial and executive ability entities him to a place with the first of this .country's entrepreneurs. Nothing has kept Dasher from being at the head of a big dramatic combination of his own except his loyalty to Playwright Hoyt, for whom he was ready to fight when a coterie of hammer bearers attempted to discredit America's greatest farce writer. Dasher has had many opportunities to accept other positions, but he has too much expansion of the heart sometimes for his own good and has refused .tempting offers. Xow It appears he has decided to mako a change. He has been a closo friend of that other conspicuous Hoosler, Tod Sloan, and has been offered tho position by Sloan . as manager cf the De Wolf Hopper Opera ComSany In London when Sloan assumes i relations as backer to the great comicopera star. Hopper has made, an unmistakable hit. and the receipts at the Lyric .Theater, where "Kl Capitan" 13 still running, are said to be Increasing each week. For this reason it is believed by far-seeing theatrical people that Sloan's luck is likely to continue when Hopper produces "Wang" with Sloan's money. But Sloan knows nothing of the dramatic business, and has clTered to turn over oil that to Mr. Dasher. Should Dasher go to London under these conditions. It is predicted he will make as big a hit there as Bram Stoker made in this country with Henry Irving. "Dash". is the sort of American that Londoners will enjoy meeting. As a raconteur there is none better In tho business and his fantastic narratives and personal Incidents of noted people in America which "Dash" can embellish with real mimic talent and tplendld "vocabulosity" there's a good one for the 'coon monologulst would be appreciated by the London chappies. It Is hoped for his own sake, .Mr. Dasher will see the opportunity for him in this Sloan offer and seise it. A fortnight or more ago the Dramatic Mirror printed a bit of verse written by George Day and entitled "At the Station." The lines escaped attention at .the time, as many good things will, but have since caused considerable comment. Aside from this and the reputation of the author, "At the Station" is sutliclently clever to merit a hearing and hence it is appended: "Good-bye, Clara." Good-bye Joe." "I'll be back all right, you know. Think I've Joined a nr.t-class show, Hopo we'll plav to S. II. O. Good-bye, Clara." Good-bye, Joe." Good-bye. Teddy." "Good-bye, Jane.

"There's the sweetest girl I know: : Breaks her heart to see me go. tn!y home a week or so. Damn this traveling with a show Hello. Jennie:" 'Hello. Joe." "Dearest Teddy (on the train): Head Just splitting with the paia. Glad when we get up to Maine. "When we do I"ll write again. . Jo'a regard. Your loving ... - . Ja5-" "Hello, sweetheart!" . 'Hello, dear! . Just 'about to have some beer? Mind if I sit over here? Merry Christmas!" "Glad New Year!" Good nisit. sweetheart." 'Good niht.. dear.". . ' "He'.lo. Jenni?!" "Hello.

Any cue' who know? th stage and stag folk will And more In "At the Station" than mere Jinsle. The lines are worthy of giving a rfisnatlon to a book of sucu delightful trifle. - The young woman who U known in London us "Chicago May" (sho tn't the real article of that r.arae, however) seems to be a rather vivid example of nervy American femininity. 3he was a chorus girl for a brt tlir.f anl thratrie.it folks ant 'rour.de t" u'cncrallv or he victim, n-.

cently .she took a cab ride with a London doctor and then had him arrested on a charge of stealing one of her diamond rings. A ehai who returned from England the other day was telling of a meeting that occurred between this girl and Dp .Wolf Hopper In the Hotel Cecil bar. Hopper came Into the place and "Chicago May" dashed up to him. clasped him by both hands and said, gushingly: "Why. how do you do. Mr. Hopper? You may not know me. but I know you very well Indeed.' I've heard Kdna and Tod talk about yen a whole lot." Mr. Hopper was a good deal flustered. He blushed. Ftammcrcl, smiled in an embarrassed fashion and made his escape. It will be an interesting sight that of Sarah Bernhardt playing the man's part of Pclleas to the Melisande of Mrs. Patrick Campbell in Maeterlinck' play of "Ielleas and Melisandc" next season. Mrs. "Wilton Lackye. formerly Alice Evan?, th pretty Bossle Brander of "A Texas Steer" company, started out Just after lunch In New York yesterday to give her pet dog "Bully" an airing on the Rialto. She led "Bully" along at the end of a stout silver chain, and all went well until they reached Broadway. A negro leading a big white bulldog passed at the Instant with his dog at the end of a rope, and the white dog took a dislike to Mrs. Lackaye's brlndle thoroughbred and sprang at it. The air was filled In half a second with bulldogs, chains, ropes, negroes, curses and Mrs. Lackaye's scream. "Bully" got a good hold on the white dog Ju.t in front of the ear. and there he hung while the negro cuffed and kicked both dogs impartially. "Help! help!" cried Mrs. Lackaye. and to her rescue rushed the Rialto strollers. Willie Rochester, Bury Dasant, Myron Calice, the English actor, and Dr. Gllday. of the Hotel . Marlborogh. all Mrs. Lackayo's friends, came on a run. The actress was on her knees when they reached her. vainly trying to force her fingers Into "Bully's" mouth to make him loosen his hold. She could not do it. A lighted cigar was stuck against the dog's nose by a bystander, but still be held on. Finally the does were choked and relaxed their holds. Then Mrs. Lackaye fainted. Pres agents are working for such hot weather. Lillian Russell's plunge into tho burlesque will be no half-hearted leap. One of her first parts as a merber of Weber & Fields's company will be to caricature Josephine Hall's performance' in "The Girl from Maxim's" in a. burlesque which Is now being written by , Edgar and Harry B. Smith, called "The Girl From Martin's." The original farce is risque and offers a splendid chance for ridicule, and the burlesque theater farther down Broadway will not let the chance escape. In the original at Wallack's the girl from Maxim's, who Is a Parisian concert hall dancer. .is discovered in the house of a staid old Parisian surgeon. In the burlesque the girl from Martin's will be a Rialto soubrette, and Miss Russell will Impersonate her. Her opening appearance will be In the home of a New York doctor, and the conditions of her appearance there will furnish a thrill or two at the opening performance although the purpose of the burlesque will be to ridicule rather than duplicate the French attempt at audacity. Local Stage Gossip. Harry Shunk, the monologulst of ..Al Field's minstrels, Is one of the new acquisitions to' this organization. Mr. Shunk has been for years the principal fun-maker at the celebrated Carncross Minstrel Opera .House in Philadelphia. He is described as being original in his methods of -fun-making as well as refined. Hl3 songs are all his own compositions. The most spectacular feature of the performance of Weiland, the Juggler, with the Bon Ton Burlesqucrs at the Empire, is the ease with which he starts a set of dinner plates spinning on a board and keeps them all going at the same time. There is something of tho French finish to Welland's act seldom seen on the local vaudeville stage. Em 11 Ankermiller Is here ahead of ."Faust," the Park's next week attraction, and says that If the. present runt of weather continues the famous Brocken scene will lose half Its effect. The terrors inspired by ;the realistic view of the infernal regions as presented in "Faust" would be dissipated to a large extent by- atmospheric conditions such as prevailed yesterday and the day before. , . Murray and Mack and their company are congratulating themselves that they are going north from here,. though by tho end of the week the Indianapolis temperature may be all right. After their engagement at the Park they will go to Grand Rapids, opening there next Sunday night for a half week's- engagement. One of the cleverest members of the company is Charles Barry, who plays the tramp. His entrance in the first act In "Finnlgan's Ball" never fails to get a hearty laugh. Claude Miller, formerly advertising agent of English's Opera House, but who has been promoted to the management of the new Victoria at Dayton, is in the city a few days as acting manager at English's. He will remain for The Purple Lady" this week and until after Al Field's minstrels next Wednesday; when Manager A. F. Miller will return and take chary: of English's for the season. Mr. Claude MUlcr will open the Dayton theater one wek from next Monday with Charles Frohman's Empire Theater! stock company in "His Excellency the Governor." The Empire Theater company plays In Dayton the one night only, coming to English's for the rest of the week. A very funny story is told In connection with Frank Hatch, who will appear here in Sydney Rosenfeld "The Purple Lady" Friday and Saturday at English's. Several years ago Mr. Hatcji was engaged to portray a character in a new production. The opening Eight Mr. Hatch came to the theater early, so as to be there In ample time and give great care to his make-up, which was one of the essential things In connection with his new character. But he avoided miking up his face until there was very little time left before he would be called for Ms first entrance. The character called for a large nose, and Hatch suddenly found he had forgotten the "nose putty." This necessitated his falling back on one of the oldtime methods before "nose- putty" was put into use that of mixing flour In -water and making a "dough nose." He sent a boy to the nearest grocery after some flour. The boy returned in a few minutes with a neat package of flour, from which Hatch made his rropcrty nose. During the performance he had a very important situation and in his endeavor to lead up to the climax and make It go for all it was worth, he worked until the symbol of toll trickled down his face, alighting on his "dough nose." Th salty drops, together with the natural heat of the noe itself, caused the flour-made proboscis to swell to ludicrous proportions. As Mr. Hatch was making ready to explode his excruciatingly funny lines the nose had become so light and spongy that it tumbled off and floated into the wirr?s. And Just here is where the press agent showed his lack of cunning. Instead of bringing this story to the dramatic editor he should have hunted up the name of the self-rising flour maker and sold him the story for the back pages of the "yellow" American magazines. "Wallace Buys Lit Pearl's Circa. Social to the Indianapolis Jo-.irnal. PERU. Ind., Sept. d Benjamin E. Wallace, proprietor of the Wallace shows, has purchased the La Pearl circus, and the outfit is being brought to tho winter quarters here. The property will be added to the Wallace circus. The La Pearl show was taken on a mortgage by the Donaldson Lithograph Company, and represented a value of 131,000 to them, but Wallace got the entire property for JCtCO. His aim was to get the monster hippopotamus and some other animals, but as they were not to be sold separately, he had to buy the entire outfit. Several showmen and park managers offered $-. each for the hippopotamus. Tho animal has been sent to the Wallace circus which is now in the East. ' PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. F. M.

Smith, and Mr. Wilbu; Cortez Abbott, which took place last evening at the family residence, on East Pratt street. The ceremony was at 8 o'clock, and only the relatives and a very few of the most Intimate friends were present.

MIWCIE .NEWSPAPER MAN niXS DOAV.N ALLEGED MURDERER. Tracks Clifford Morris to Marlon, Where Fugitive Is Cnptnred and Murder Mystery Unraveled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind.. Sept. 6. Clifford Morris, the alleged murderer of Elmer Hamilton, at Muncie, Monday night, was captured here to-day and taken back to Muncie tonight. Morris had been with Hamilton the night of the murder and then disappeared. R. T. Winters, city editor of the Muncie News, unearthed the clew, and with Captain Turner, of the Muncie police force, came here to search for Morris. They arrived at 7 o'clock this morning and Captain Turner kept In the background while Mr. Winters and Chief of Police Lewis went to the fair grounds, where their man was supposed to be. Winters found "Wick" Adams, a colored boy from Muncie, working with Sam Morett's horses at the race track, and Adams put the searchers on the right track. They had heard Morett say that Charles Stephenson, a stableman, had it from Morris himself that he had killed Hamilton. Stephenson was found and brought to the police headquarters, where he made an affidavit detailing Morris's confession. He said he was at his stall In the Muncie fair grounds Monday night when Morris came out to see him and told him about the fight with Hamilton. While these facts were being given to the officers by Stephenson a telephone call from the fair grounds notified the officers that Morris had been seen and Captain Turner and a local officer went out and found him in a brush pile in the woods. He refused to discuss the killing and was taken back to Muncie with Stephenson, who will be held as a witness. Mob Waltlnfr nt the Train. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind.. Sept.

Explanation Offered for the Double Crime of James Ball. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . KOKOMO, Ind., Sept. 6. An investigation into the Greentown tragedy Sunday night, in which James Ball shot his father-in-law, Henry Murden, then blew out his brains with a double-barreled shotgun, fall3 to disclose a moUve for the crime. The family lived happily together. They attended services at the Methodist Churcr. that night, both Ball and Murden taking an active part in the devotional exercises. Mr. Murden, who was a local exhorter, made the opening prayer. The tragedy occurred two hours after the return trom church. Friends urge that the assailant was himself asleep at tne time he shot his sleeping father-in-law. on arising from his bed. without dressing he went to Murden's room and fired two shots into the sleeping man's forehead. The absurdity of a man waking from a sound sleep and instantly committing murder, with no motive for the deed, is generally admitted. The general public does not entirely believe this story. The suicide was buried this afternoon, but Mr. Murden was still living' at noon to-day, though he has been dying for thirty-six hours. The Oil Business Booming. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER, Ind., Sept. 6. New life and ambition has been Infused into the petroleum industry during the past few days by reason of the substantial appreciation in the crude market in both the Eastern and Western fields. The situation from every view point has for some time justified a material advance. The producers still look for a further advance and the Indications are that before many days their hopes and anticipations will be realized. The influence of the late advance in crude is already apparent In new work, and If present conditions be not changed within the next thirty days the figures at the close of September will unquestionably show a material increase in the volume of operations. It will also stimulate the drilling cf wells in outlying districts. Leasers are at work throughout the various districts taking up all available territory, and the opening if new pools is looked for. While the producers naturally feel Jubilant over recent advances, they say the market has not advanced anywhere near to the high prices demanded for oil-well supplies and materials of all kinds used in the prosecution of the business. This, of course, applies only to those that are compelled to purchase material for further operations. Indications are that the Ohio and Indiana product wili soon reach 11.25 a barrel. Within the past ninety days there has been a large number of Eastern capitalists in the Ohio and Indiana fields, as thev see no chance for Investments in the fields of the East, and a half million dollars' worth of property has changed at good prices. Shovelcrs Strike at nirmonnt. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FAIRMOUNT, Ind..

Six men, whom the contractors brought with them, worked all daj and about clx teams hauled dirt, the teamsters helping to. load the wagons. 1 What It Costs to II an Terre Haute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE. HAUTE, Ind.. Sert. 6.-Terre Haute Is having its first experience with a tabulated estimate of the expenses of running the business for a year. Under the old general charter the different departments of the government log-rolled their allowances through the Council, and no one ever saw a totaled statement of the city's expenditures. Under the n-;w special charter estimates were submitted to the Council for the first time last night. The total for the easuing year is 1224.644. about 120.0U0 less than the aggregate of the estimates of the various departments. The fire and police departments take 172.000. the fire department calling for about 17.CM) more than the police. The water costs 131,003 and street lighting 128,000.

Attorney General JOHN V. L. FINDLAY, of Baltimore. The nominations were all made by acclamation and the convention was harmonious. The platform declares for the gold standard, favors such a system of import duties as shall protect American Industries and provide sufficient revenue for the expenses of the government economically administered, and commends the records made by our country in the late war with Spain. Tho Philippines plank says: "While we deplore the Insurrection in the Philippine islands, wherein by cession from Spain we acquired the right of sovereignty, duty demands that we retain and 'pacify them and safeguard the Interests of commerce until the problem of their final disposition be solved In such manner that the glory of our flag be not sullied, nor the liberty it stands for restrained. We repose our trust for such a solution of the problem in our wise and patriotic President and the Republican majority In Congress." As to trusts, the platform says: "Legitimate business interests, fairly capitalized and honestly managed, have built up our industries at home, giving employment to labor as never before, and have enabled us to successfully compete with foreign countries In the markets of the world. Such Industries must not be struck down by legislation aimed at the dishonestly organized trust, which stifles competition and oppresses labor. We are opposed to legislation merely for popular effect In reckless disregard of business revival after prolonged depression. We strongly favor laws to successfully suppress trusts and all combinations which create monopoly." Tarvln Will Support Goebel. FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 6. Judge Jas. P.

GRAPE NUTS The Famous Food Suits alt Kinds of Stomachs. - 0 OOOOOOOOOOOO 0 NEVER UP A NIGHT. A man In Grand Rapids, Mich.. F. J. Hill, a druggist, discovered that one of the most perfect and safe ways to wean a babe was to begin feeding Grape-Nut5, the famous breakfast food. His letter states: "If there is a baby food that Is better than Grape-Nuts, It must ! a dandy. We began feeding our little Carola Grape-Nuts before weaning, and for a few months after It was her only food, and a fatter, more healthy child could not b found. We were never up a night, nor did she have a day's t !cknc. Wo didn't realize when she gave up the rurfe. Consequently, we feel grateful for the product called Grape-Nuts, and wish you success." This, coming from a druggist, who has access to all the well-known baby foods, Is somewhat remarkable, but when one realizes that Grape-Nuts are composed of the most nourishing parts of the cereals, treated by heat, time and moisture, without any drugs whatsoever, nnd thereby with scientific processes, actually pre-di jested, in the same manner that the human body changes the starch of the cereals Into a delicate grape sugar, it is easy to. understand why the food can be handled by even a very young' baby. It is not only the most powerful nutritive food for athletes and strong men. but, as seen, .it is applicable to the mot delicate stomachs. This fact has been proven over and over again by use with invalids and weak babies. Add to these nutritious features the fact that Grape-Nuts is of a most delicious flavor, the grape sugar o be ecn glistening on tho little granules, and a rtason Is discovered for the universal and enormous sale of the new food product Grape-NuU ara mads by . the Postu Cereal Co..
