There is a great deal of interest being shown in the forthcoming production of "Ole Olson” which comes to the Bosse Opera House on next Thursday, April 18. To those who appreciate strictly refined comedy, free from horse play or anything suggestive and at the same time exquisitely funny “Ole Olson” will be of more than usual interest. The people of Elkhart will endeavor to raise SIOO,OOO to be invested in stock of the Sidney Mercantile company, which employes 350 people and wishes to increase its capital stock to $400,000.

Hazel C. Andrews arrived this morning from Arkansas and will visit for several weeks with relatives.

Exceedingly bright specialties are presented’by several of the characters. Monday was the last day for payment of the Salamonia river dredge tax.

Med Miller, the sign artist, was busily engaged today in adorning the show window of the Elzey & Vance clothing store with a nobby sign. These popular managers are certainly making rapid strides in the way of progressiveness. No action was taken in the case of the two McConnehey boys who were arrested Monday for stealing chickens by the city officials, the prosecutor asking that the grand jury be permitted to bring an indistment against them, thus insuring their appearance in the circuit court. The handsome farm residence of Richard Dudly, half a mile north of Laotto, was totally destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, entailing a loss of $3,000, with but S4OO insurance. The blaze occurred about 2 o’clock, but a stiff wind was blowing, and the fire could not be controlled. The freight car on the interurban was run through the city this morning to test the new line and attracted the attention of every one. The line line stood the test all right and the O.

Acting upon a premonition that something was wrong, Joseph Hull, employed as a janitor at the court house at Huntington, quit work at 10:30 o’clock Monday morning and hurried home only to find his wife lying upon the kitchen floor.

WITH INTERURBAN Fort Wayne Citizens Try for Cheap Rate for G. A. R. The state department of the G. A. R. and the citizens of Ft. Wayne are making good progress with their arrangements for the annual encampment to be held at Ft. Wayne May 22, 23 and 24. The program for the encampment has been issued and shows that the veterans will not lack for entertainment. Negotiations with the Interurban lines indicate good prospects for cheaper rates to and from the encampment. The steam roads, because of the 2-cent fare law, have refused to make a reduced rate All of Tuesday, May 21, will be taken up with the arrival of the G. A. R. officers and their reception. Department Commander E. R. Brown of Monticello, and staff and the department president and officers of the Woman's Relief Corps will arrive that day. Headquarters will be opened at 10 o’clock the following morning at the Wayne Hotel. Thursday, May 23, National Commander R. B. Brown and his staff will arrive, after which the department encampment G. A. R. will convene for the transaction of business in the Princess theater. The W. R. C. and the ladies of the G. A. R. will reassemble at the Princess theater Friday morning at 9 o’clock for the purpose of electing delegates to the national encampment at Saratoga, and for the election and installation of officers for the ensuing year. The W. R. C. and the ladies of the G. A. R. will assemble for the same purpose at the same time at their respective meeting places. BOOK AGENTS ARE NUISANCE According to Resolution of Western Teachers. Spokane, Wash. April 17. —Book agents were officially declared nuisances at the annual meeting of the Inland Empire Teachers’ Association in session at Lewiston, Ida., south of Spokane, and it was decided by resolutions, adopted without a dissenting vote by the 1,000 delegates that in the future representatives of houses will not be permitted to display their wares or ply their vocation except in separate rooms to be designated by a special committee. The understanding is that any representative who does not conform to the rules Will be boycotted. The foregoing action is the result of the persistency of several agents for eastern publishers in pushing their books upon the delegates. The men followed the teachers to receptions, musicales and even to their hotels in endeavors to get subscriptions and made themselves so obnoxious in other ways, that the order declaring them nuisances followed without debate. o “AN IDYLL OF VERMONT” Musical Rural Comedey Here Monday Evening. “Uncle Rube” or an Idyll of Vermont, is a musical rural comedy that tells a sweetly simple story of the love of a penniless artist for the country school ma’am. The plot is well connected and is enlivened by a musical program as good as the best. The cast and chorus are the best talent to be had in our city and will be assisted by that vaudeville star. Mr. E. Hamilton Kilbourne. The price of tickets are 25c, proceeds for the benefit of Ladies Aid Society of the Christian church. Remember the date, April 22d at Bosse Opera House. Hear the great whistler, E. Hamilton Kilbourne with “Uncle Rube” Opera House, April 22, benefit Christian church 95-3 t Don’t fail to hear the Milk Maids chorus in “Uncle Rube” at the Bosse Opera House, April 22nd, benefit of Christian church 95-3 t You "auto” see the automobile chorus. “Uncle Rube,” Opera House, April 22nd. 95-3 t o Warning to the Avaricious. Reflect that there is little profit and much dishonor in avarice.—Madame De Lambert. Lon Gillis, the southpaw, who has been employed at the wire mill during the winter, has not signed for the coming season. He has had several offers, among them one from the South Bend Central league team, but none proved satisfactory. Gillis made a good record with the strong Frankfort independent team last season. Crawfordsville Journal. Secretary Vaughn on yesterday received a letter from Manager Behringer stating that he had written a number of ball players and soon expected to be in a position to announce the names of some of the players to the local fans. That Behringer expects to have a fast team is fully demonstrated by the manner in which he talks, as he has confidence and that is half the battle. Fans, it won t be long any more until you hear the umps yell “Play ball!”
