ELKS' MINSTRELS.

Great Crowd Witnesses a Very Complete and Pleasing Performance.

The annual minstrel show of the local lodge of Elks was given at Music Hall Tuesday night to a packed house and the performance was the most successful ever given here by the Elks.

It was a complete entertainment from the beginning. Even the police, who benignly smiled on the troublesome loafers who congregate in front of the hall and force patrons to fight their way through to the door, wore in black face as were the ushers, door keepers, and even Billy Brown in the ticket office. All the seats had been sold early and quite a number of chairs were crowded into spaces where they could not be construed as a violation of the state law. Standing room was at a premium and it was one of the finest audiences ever assembled in the hall. Numerous members of the order came with their ladies in full evening dress so the audience was quite a handsome one.

The curtain arose promptly presenting a very pretty and artistic first part setting Lou Graham made a stunning interlocutor and the black face artists on either side made up regardless of extravagance in black and red. They were R. C. Scott, J. D. 11owe, W. T. Ash, G. S. Harney, A. Jones. Frank Scott, Lou Manheim, and Ed Scott. The singers and orchestra were also in black face. The opening chorus was "The Sousa Girl'' and it was rendered with a swing and clash that presaged favorably for the character of the entertainment. The first part was highly pleasing and the several solo artists, some of whom appeared for the first time in public, acquitted themselves with the greatest credit. Personal mention would, perhaps, be out of place, but of Mr. Downs, who is a practical stranger here, it may be said without prejudice that he possesses a voice of much sweetness which has been well cultivated. The programme of song was as follows: "The Sousa Girl" Company "My Wild Irish Rose" Arthur Kelly "My Girl From Dixie" Wayne T. Ash -In The Deep Lot Me Sleep When I Die"

The end men furnished considerable excellent diversion between songs and all of them whooped things up in approved style, the only regret of the audience being that George Harney didn't get to tell his Louisville story. The local hits were devoid of malice and were generally of a very happy character.

The olio was excellent. George Sering as a buck aud wing dancer has improved very much since his last appearance before a home audience and he was warmly encored. Dr. Svvope is an artist on the cornet and was twice recalled. The illustrated songs of Frank Scott were much above the standard both as regards their rendition and the presentation of pictures, the feature making quite a hit.

Ed Bonnell gave masterful work cn the autoharp and deweylin, the latter being a new instrument giving the effect of both mandolin and guitar.

Carl Scott as a monologue and song artist made a ten-strike with the audience especially with his topical song, replete with local hits. It was a very difficult part for anamateur to sustain, but it caught on and stuck.

The feature work by Masters George McAlevy and Marsh Jones proved one

of the happy and popular hits of the evening. In the first part bhe precocious youngsters appeared in a cake walk. George in female costume, and they stepped it off in regular professional style, never faltering, although the work was very difficult. .lust before the closing number they appeared in a duet aud won the best favor of the audience to say nothing of Ilowers galore.

The show ended with the high class entertainment of Hagahara's imperial Japanese troupe which Mr. Graliam had secured for the occasion from Kingling Brothers. The wonderful juggling, balancing and contortion work of these children of the sun-rising kingdom brought down the house and delightfully concluded a splendid entertainment.

The show was a long one but its length was not due to tiresome waits or awkward pauses. It was characterized with a dash and spirit not usually incident to amateur performances.

FISH AND GAME LAWS.

.Changes Kegardlng Stream Pollution, Seining and Dynamiting ,} The Quail Law.

The report of Z. T. Sweeney, commissioner of ilsheries and game for Indiana, for 18! 9 and 11)00, was made public Tuesday. The report, issued in book form, covers 157 pages, with a number of illustrations in colors. It contains a description of the principal lishes of Indiana, the Indiana fish ladder law, a statement regarding the lish deposited in Indiana waters and the work of the

United States fish commission, a department of game and a bird department, in which there area number of contributions of interest, especially to sportsmen, the game laws of the state, laws of other states, an article on the trap shooters' league and suggestions as to legislation.

Mr. Sweeney's recommendation as to legislation are especially interesting at this time, in view of the fact that both branches of the legislature have been fairly deluged with bills for game laws. He recommends the repeal of the law permitting seining under license. If no advantage were taken of the present law, he thinks, it would be just and righteous, but unscrupulous people, he says, have used it as a shield behind which to commit all sorts of depredations.

After much correspondence, he says, he feels justified in saying that the legislature should improve section 1, of the present fish law, by making it more specific as to the nature of the pollution in the streams, as it has been found dillicult to make convictions under it. The state should not prohibit industries, but there should be a provision that all manufacturers should filter the water and return it to the streams as pure as it was when it was taken out.

Section 2, relating to dynamiting, he thinks, should be amended so as to permit of punishment and fine of not less than $500, with discretionary power to the court for imprisonment. In now provides only have prosecuted dynamiting," says the commissioner, but juries think the penalty too heavy and refuse to convict, although there is a unanimity of sentiment in favor of a severe penalty."

Other recommendations as to the fish laws are made in the following order: ''Section .'i should be amended so as to prohibit the taking of ciscoes in a gill net or with a spear. "Section 4. The prohibitory clause against hook and line fishing in May and June should be stricken out. "Sec. 5. In line twelve the words, "or using a seine," should be eliminated. "Section 0 should be so improved that no one person should be allowed to tish with more than one trot line, and the number of hooks on that trot line should be increased to seventy-five. "Section 7. The clause providing for issuing a license to fish with a seine should be repealed, and any game fish caught in seines now licensed should be returned to the waters unharmed under the penalty of twenty-five dollars for each fish not so returned. The size of mesh also should be increased to two and a half inches, "Sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 do not need material alterations."

As to the game laws ho recommends the making of a closed season for at least thirty days before the open season for rJiooting birds. He says there should be a license fee of $10 for all nnn-rr-si dents of the state and of $1 for all resi' dents of the state—the fees to be used for the protection and propagation of fish and game.

The open season for shooting quail, be holds, should begin November 1 and end January 1. It should be unlawful, he says, to possess quail out of season, regardless of where they are Killed,and the sale of quail should bo prohibited at all seasons of the year. No persons, he believes, should bo allowed to kill more than twenty quail in one day.

any premises for quail or game which is thought to be kept contrary to law.

Some of the Citizens of This PIocc Wish

Radical Change Made In the Law.

.Acting upon the request of a number of the citizens of this city and county, Representative Scott last week introduced into the legislature a bill changing the liquor laws of Indiana in some particulars. This bill was written by L. J. Coppage upon consultation with a number of other temperance workers and its text is as follows: "An act to amend section one (I) and repeal section nine of an act entitled. 'An act to better regulate and restrict the sale of intoxicating, spirituous, vinous and malt liquors, providing penalties for violations of the same, providing for the enforcement thereof, and providing for remonstrance against the granting of license for the sale of the same, and conferring jurisdiction upon police courts and justices of the peace in cases of violation of the provisions of this act, and other laws of the state on the subject of selling intoxicating liquors,' approved. March 11, 1805. "Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of Indiana, that section one (1) of the above entitled act be, and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows, to-wit: "Section 1. That hereafter all persons applying for license to sell spirituous, vinous, malt or other intoxicating liquors before or to the board of commissioners of any county of this state under the existing laws thereof, shall, in such application specifically describe the exact location of the room and the kind aud character thereof in which he so desires to sell such liquors, and if there be more than one room in the building, he shall specifically describe and locate the room in which he so makes application to sell, in its relation to the other rooms or parts of the building and which room must be so located as to front on one of the principal streets on which the building is situated if in a town or city, and on the principal highway adjacent to the building if in the country outside the limits of the town or city provided that no license shall be granted to any other than a male person over the age of twenty-one years, and who shall be at time of good moral character, and provided further, that no person shall be deemed to be of good moral character if within two years next preceeding the filing of said application he shall have been adjudged guilty of violating any of the provisions of this act and provided further, that no license shall be granted to any applicant to sell liquors under this or any other law of this state, unless he shall allege in his petition or application, and prove on the hearing to the satisfaction of the board that he has obtained the written consent to the granting of said application of a majority of the legal voters of the township or ward in which said room is situated, and which consent in writing shall be signed by said voters or their duly authorized agep.taud filed with the application, together with the

or attorney that said signatures genuine. "The number of voters required to signify their consent to the granting of license as hereinbefore provided, shall bo and consist of a majority of the number cast in the township for secretary of state at the last preceeding election therefor, and in a ward of a town or city, the greatest number cast for trustee or councilmen at the last election for said office next preceeding the filing of said application. "Any voter of the county may appear at the time of the hearing of any such application and in addition to other causes of remonstrance, may contest the truth of any of tho allegations in the petition or application, including the number of names of voters who have signified their assent to the granting of said license, and whether or not they constitute a majority, or are qalified voters, or the genuineness of the signatures. "Evidence may be given as in other cases by either party and tho board or court hearing tho case call witnesses of its own motion, and tho fact that no remonstrance is filed shall not be construed as a waiver by the voters, but the board or court must be satisfied that all the conditions of this act have been complied with before any license shall be issued or granted. "Section 2. Section nine of the above named act is hereby repealed.

Section Whereas an emergency is hereby declared to exist, for tho immediate taking effect of this act. therefore the same shall take effect and Le in force from and after its uassage and approval."

Just ices of the peace should be author ized to issue search warrants to search motion among newspaper men, as well

Mr. Coppage to-day received the following letter from Mr. Scott. "INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22, l!K)l.--L. J. Coppage, Erq., Crawfordsville.—Dear Sir:—Your favor was received in due time and tho bill was introduced in less than two hours after I received it. Its introduction caused considerable com­

as members of the house. I had a talk with Mr. Airhart this morning and he said he would let me know when tho committee would consider the bill, etc. 1 will then write or telephone you as to time, and hope you will come up aud meet committee. I have requested

A. M. SCOTT."

The Kennedy-Johnston Road Bill. The Mount Vernon Republican, in speaking of the road bill prepared by 1'. S. Kennedy and introduced by Senator Wm. Johnston, says: "In addition to his compulsory arbitration bill, Senator Johnston, of Montgomery and Putnam, will present several other measures. ne of these incorporates a proposition that probably will find its strongest opponents in th« various township trusteos of the state. The bill provides for a general county road system and is submitted through Senator Johnston by the farmers' institute of Montgomery county. It places the free gravel roads in charge of a county superintendent, one of whose specified duties shall bo to ailv ertise once each year for bids for all the materials to be used on the roads of the county during the year. A similar measuro failed to pass the last legislature, but Senator Johnston says ho understands that Representative John .lames, of Putnam county, will ofl'er a similar measuro in the house this year, and he is positive something along this line will pass this session."
