HE SAW BEN-HURI
John Win gate Talks Kntliugiastically of the Play.
Indianapolis Ncivs: Jobn Wingate, state tax commissioner, returned today from New York and talked enthusiastically about the production of Lew Wallace's "Ben-Hur," at which he, with some other Indianians, was present. 'r 'New York is going wild over it," he said, as he sat in one of the big chairs in the auditor of state's office"You hear of it everywhere you go on the streets. The street car men are talking about it, and it's the topic of conversation in the stores. "Is General Wallace pleased? Well, I should think he was. He is more than satisfied with the way it has turned out. He found himself the center of attraction wherever he went in New York. Why, Dawey wasn't in it compared to the attention General Wallace attracted in the Waldorf-As-toria The waiters and bellboys tiptoed about him. The general and I went down to Tiffany's, where I wanted to buy a little article, and when I told them it was Gen. Law Wallace who was with me they Baid: 'You don't Bay 60. Is that Lew Wallace?' and when I told them it was, you ought to have seen them come up and look at him."
Mr. Wingate says "Ben-Hur" will stay in New York for a year. There are only four theaters in the United States, he says, that are big enough to atage the production as it ought to be staged. He says there is talk of Klaw and Erlanger building a new theater in Chicago, in which to produce "BenHur" after it leaves New York. He has this on good authority, he sawn.

A WARM OLD TIME-
The Democrats of the County Will Calibrate ackgoii Day This Year In Hoy»1 8tyl«-.
On January S, Jackson Day, the Dern ocrats of the county will hold a celebration here which they aBsert will eclipse anything of the kind over attempted in Crawfordsville. The editors of the Review aud Star originated the idea and were prominent in the preliminary meeting held last TueBday to perfect the plans. IthaBbeen determined to have some good speaker, probably Shively, deliver a public addresB at Music Hall in the afternoon and in the evening to hold a banquet at the llobbins house. This banquet will be an invitational affair, but any Democrat of good standing can secure admission.
A GOOD THING-
The Postmaster Goueral'a ltoport Speaks Well of Kami Free Delivery of llall.
The postmaster general in his annual report say6: "The free delivery of mails in the rural districts has proved to be one of the most important among recent developments of the postal service, and presents in its possibilities a question of the l&rgest proportions. How far the system shall be extended i8 submitted for the determination of congress, with a full presentation of facts upon which to base a conclusion. The appropriation for rural free delivery service for the present fiscal year was increased from 815,000 to 8300,000, and this amount will be practically absorbed by the continuance to the end of the fiscal year of the service already established. It i6 now in successful operation from 300 distributing points, scattered among forty states and one territory (the only states unrepresented in the list being Idaho, Mississippi, Montana and Wyoming), giviDg service to 170,131 persons at an average annual cost of S4 cents per capita. "The benefits accruing from the extension of poBtal facilities to the rural communities may be summarized as follows: Increased postal receipts, making many of the new deliveries almost immediately self-supporting. Enhancement of the value of farm lands reached by this service and better prices obtained for farm products through more direct communication with the markets and prompter information of their state. Improved means of travel, some hundreds of miles of country roads, especially in the western states, having been graded specifically in order to obtain rural free delivery. Higher educational influences, broader circulation of thji means of public intelligence, and j&oser daily contact with the great world of activity extended to the homes of heretofore isolated rural communities."
Thrown Oat of Court.
Judge West Wednesday threw out of court the divorce suit brought by Maggie Skaggs agalnat Truitt SkaggB. It came to the knowledge of the Judge that these interesting parties had been living together right cosily since the day after the suit wu filed.
The divorce case of Alwilda McDaniel vs. Christopher Columbus McDaniel shared a similar distressing fate. It seems that the case was set for trial to-day and the plaintiff's lawyer forgot the matter and left town. Judge West declined to continue the case. A former suit for divorce brought by the present plaintiff resulted disastrously for her and the defendant made a fight and the court held the evidence insufficient to secure a decree.
Ueatli of AIISB Gertrude McDonald. Miss Gertrude McDonald, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. McDonald, died of haBty consumption last Tuesday at 5 o'clock, at the family residence on east College street. The funeral occurred on Thursday at 10 o'clock and the services were conducted by Dr. Tharp, of the Christian church, interment at Oak Hill. Miss McDonald was 22 years of age and W»B born in this city, where her entire life was passed. She was a devoted member of the Christian church and her life, though a short one, was replete with good works. Her many excellencies endeared her greatly to a large circle of friends, and her death is one to be deplored.

What Do The Children Drink?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GKA.IN-0? It is delicious and nourlshinK and takes the place of coffee. The more GKA.IN-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their system. ORA.IN-0 Is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee but costs about Has much. All grocers sell It. 15c and 25c.

PRAISE FOR VOTING MACHINES.
4Ooncl»0 Statement of Their Advantage in a Report i"»y the Common Council of Ithaca.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle of November 20: Ono of the most clear, complete aud intelligent statements of the merits of the Standard voting machine that we have seen has been formulated by the finance committee of the common council of Ithaca, N. Y. The conclusions reported are BB folio WB: (I.) The voting machine is a simple, reliable, durable and convenient apparatus for its purpose. (3.) The machine compels the deposit of a perfect and accurate ballot, of the form choBen by the voter. (3.) It restricts the voter absolutely to the limits of the law and permits him freedom as absolute in voting within that limit. (4 Blauk and defective ballots, the usual fault of ordinary methods of voting, are entirely done away with, and no man loses his vote through defect of the system, or fault of his own, if he votes at all. The disfranchised voter becomes unknown. (5.) Fraudulent voting is impossible as well as errors in voting. 6 a is re is re vote by vote, with absolute accuracy and certainty. (7.) The result can be declared immediately upon the close of the polls, having been already completely counted. (8.) The cost of the system is so much less than that of the old method that the machines usually pay for themselves in from three to seven years.
The whole case may be summarized in a sentence: "The machines retain all the virtues and exclude all the vices of the old methods of balloting."
Their use would be entirely justified even though they involved a more costly rather than a much less expensive system. Their adoption iB looked upon by your committee BB promoting good politics, good morale and good finance.
More than ordinary significance can be attached to this report when it is known that Dr. R. H. Thurston, who is the professor of mechanical engineering in Cornell University, is an alderman and chairman of the finance committee. Dr. Thurston is also one of the New York state voting machine commissioners, the other members being Philip T. Dodge and Professor H. de B. Parsons. He has made a thorough study of the different kinds of vote registering machines. Rochester can testify to the correct nesB of this Ithaca report, as can Buffalo, Utica, and several smaller towns. The age of voting machines has been fairly inaugurated, and with it has come the moBt practical system of election reform that the mind of man has yet devised.
