DELIQHTFUL

Was the Ben Hur Entertainment

Last Evening.

Simonides Court No. 1, Tribe of Ben Hur, lias a wide spread reputation as an entertainer. It is esteemed a great privilege to be present at any of its social func'tions at any time and a high honor to attend its festivities where advanced preparations have been made by its characteristic membership of hustlers. Last night developed on^ of these most delightful sociables in the Red Men's Hall,.and every feature of their well arranged program was a pleasing one, even to excess of expectation. The following composed the form of the evening's entertainment: May Pole Dance. Recitation Carrie Sprow Boy's Drill—(twelve boys uniformed.) Flag Song. Song Little Maud Snyder Girl's Drill— (sixteen girls.) Motion Song By little Folks Cake Walk. 'nstrumental Solo..Miss Sarah Yount

Every number was cordially received and encored, while the cake walk was simply captivating and was won by Ted Herron and Miss Hallie Scaggs. The credit for the executions of movements by the little ones is due to "Mrs. Harter who drilled the girls and Chas. Williams the boys. At the conclusion of the program Caterer Reimann furnished refreshments and dancing and social intercourse concluded a well passed evening with the members and families of the Sons and Daughters of Hur. The committee having in charge the successful entertainment were: Mrs. Robert Ross Mrs. Harter and Mrs. O'Neal Watson In fact did it so please the large crowd of spectators that it will be repeated one evening next week.

The Turkey Thief.

William Polly, the traveling huckster accused of abducting the pet turkeys of Melvin Hatton, of Wingate, after a night in jail still said he didn't do it, but the facts are all against him. Prosecutor Reeves filed an information against him in the circuit court, and his case will be tried June 7. His wife and boy drove into town yesterday with the wagon. They will probably continue in the huckstering business while he is in durance.

Octopus Notes.

The boys who went to Anderson to work for the wire and nail mills are coining home disgusted. The factory has the pernicious habit of shutting down several days out of each week. The trust raised the price of nails and fencing 23 per cent, and the farmers are not buying. If possible to refrain from purchasing these commodities for five years they could break the back bone of the octopus.

To Lecture.

Rev. Benjamin Farrell.of Indianapolis, will be at the B. T. W. club rooms this evening to lecture. He is the Grand Mentor of the Sapns of •Labor and Daughters of the Tabernacle. Mrs. Bvbee will also speak. Everybody cordially invited to be present.

The G. O. P. and the Trusts, v" Referring to the relation of the Republican party to the trust question the local Republican organ declares that "the position of the Republican party on this question is shown in the fact that it enacted the anti-trust law of 1890, and that it was a Republican administration that made the only serious effort to enforce that act." "So far, therefore," says the local Republican organ, "as legislation is concerned, and efforts to enforce it, the Republican party long ago placed itself before the country in opposition to trusts and -combinations. The present administration is in accord with this proposition."

What does this show when it is re. mvmbered that the Republican party, now the advocate of the single gold standard, "long ago placed itself before the country" in favor of bimetallinn and the Republican party hat no'.v assumes to deny to the people of the Philippines government with the consent of the governed, "long ago placed itself before the country" in opposition to the very theory that it now so ardently champions.

This Republican organ points out that the anti-trust law was enacted in 1890, and that a Republican administration made a serious effort to enforce that act. It then shows that the Cleveland administration, through its attorney general, discredited the antitrust law. It shows very clearly that long before 1896 the anti-trust law wasgenerally regarded as being inadequate.

Now the Republican party is to be judged by its present attiude on the trust question. Although the local Republican organ admits that long before 1896 it was generally understood that the anti-trust law was inadequate, yet when Mark Hanna in the summer of 1896 summoned the Republicans to national convention, all reference to trusts was omitted from that party's platform. Mr. McKinley appointed as attorney-general a man who was more than friendly to the trusts, and no serious effort has been made by that official to move against these enemies of public interests.

In 1896 the Republicans secured a majority in the lower house of congress. Inasmuch as it was known long before that year that the antitrust law of 1890 was inadequate, why did not the Republican house, elected in 1896, amend that law in order that it should be adequate? During all the time that Republican house was in session the trusts, under the encouragement offered by the MoKinley administration, were accumulating, and the newspapers of the country were filled with the accounts of new trusts being organized each week but the Republican house, although knowing that the anti-trust law of 1890 was inadequate, made no effoit to amend that law.

Now at the time when the American people are protesting against trusts, as they have never protested liefore, the Republican organs pretend that the Republican congress will take up this question. Intelligent men will uot fail to observe that this proposition is made only at the very threshold of a national campaign, pga

The Republican party was"sxplaced in power in 1896 by tiie use of money contributed by the trusts—existing or prospective. That part is completely dominated by trust influences, and it will rest its hopes for success in 1900 upon money contributed by the same powerful influence that placed the Republican party in power in 189(5.

The New York Tribune, one of the recognized exponents of Republican principles, recently came out in defense of the trusts. Several other Republican newspapers throughout the country went to the Tribune's rescue. But now there is evidence in all parts of the United States, among men of all classes, of a determination that the trusts must be crushed out of existence. Recognizing this popular sentiment, Rebublican organs hope by the use of mere words to save their party from destruction.

It is too late. The Republican party has had its opportunity ana has failed to grasp the opportunity. That party will be judged not by the pretenses and the professions of its organs and its leaders, at this late day, but its purpose and its character will be estimated by the record it h: made during the past three yean?.— Omaha World-Herald. „y

J-.

Mr. Booth Tarkington. Mr. Booth Tarkington, a sprig of gentility, born on the soil of Indiana, educated in her schools, raised up in her capital, surrounded by culture, has written a novel which is now being published by an eastern magazine in which he feebly endeavors to libel the people of his state, by picturing the citizens of one of its county seats where his plot is said to be layed as ignorant boors, with the moss of the swamp clinging to them. Such things may be expected perhaps, from those who do not know Indiana and what she has produced in all the departments of human energy. Her statesmen are second to none in the union her jurists are the peers of any in the world her literature is much of it classic. Her record on the field of battle is writ in blood from Bull Run to San Juan. In everything Indiana is all right, and the Indiana writer who busily slanders the people of his state is not deserving of their notice or reading. If Mr. Tarkington's work continues as it starts, instead of "Finis" at its close, he should write "The above wis written to let you tee y* What a measly fool a man can be.''

Advancing on Frankfort. The Bell Telephone Company is moving on Frankfort with sinister intentions. The county commissioners had granted a franchise to the New Long Distance Telephone Company a short time ago and now comes the Bell through its agents and asks the commissioners to reconsider their act. The case was to have been heard Saturday, but the New telephone people were on hand to fight for their rights and the Bell people were unavoidably absent, so the thing fell through for tne time being. The Bell is fighting hard, and by all sorts of means for a monopoly on Indiana telephone times. It will buy out or squeeze out every opponent. It is not often it strikes as easy a mark, howover, as it did at Crawfordsville. Almost any gigantic corporation would do the same thing. The Bell Telephone Company is not alone in the matter, but the interests of the public'demand that it be taught its proper place on the earth, and made to keep it.

According to a celebrated anatomist there are upwards of 5,000,000 little glan sin the humtn 6tomach. These gland6 pour out the digestive juices which dissolve or digest the food. Iniigestion is want of juice, weakness of glands, need or help to restore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help ie that given by jshaktr Digestive Cordial. Natural because it supplies tLe materials needed by Ue glands to prepare the digestive juices. Because it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigestion certainly acd permanently.
