D. they built the city of Mexico, first named Tenochtitlan, cn or rather in Lake Texcoco, as al most all this valley was originally a lake and the city was built upon piles driven in the mud. On the 15th of August, 1521, the dynasty of the Montezumas fell and the Spaniard was conqueror and tyrant! The Aztec gods were overthrown, their temples deserted, their shrines profanced and the fires extinguished! Thus fell the most singular and romantic empire the world has ever known. Aguilla, the royal slave, in the beautiful play of that name, is [ the last descendant of the royal Un.?, i but a peon or slave in the land wher? he should have been, by right of blood, an Emperor! This is the most beautiful and romantic story ever told upon the stage. At the Bosse opera house Tuesday, Dec. 3. o DEMOCRAT WANT ADS. TRY DEMOCRAT WANT ADS.

A SPECIAL [TRAIN Will be Run Over Monon for Benefit of Indiana Dairymen. FREE LECTURES Another Purdue Eperiment Train That Will Interest Many. The dairymen of Indiana will be interested to learn that arrangements have been completed for running a dairy special over the lines of the Monon railroad. This is a purely educational move; the result of co-opera-tion on the part of the Monon, Purdue experiment station and the state dairy association. The train will be furnished and operated by the railroad company, the illustrative matter and speakers being provided by Purdue experiment station and the state dairy association. Stops of 45 minutes will be made at important stations on the system and instructive talks will be given upon dairy farming. The rapidly increasing demand for milk to supply the needs for direct consumption and manufacturing purposes, necessitates on the part of the producers, more specific knowledge of th® principles underlying its economical production. The presence of large cities in all parts of the state naturally gives rise to more or less dairying in those parts and it is for the purpose of assisting all thus engaged that this effort is being made. Through the train it is hoped that the dairymen of northern, central and southern Indiana will be reached in a very effective manner. Reasons for engaging in dairying and the ways by which it can be made most profitable will be definitely pointed out. Improved methods in home dairying will also b J discussed.
