J. H. HELLER, Manager. It is openly charged by politicians who know that th e unfair and silly effort of the Indianapolis News to make the democratic state chairmanship outcome a brewer's victory regardless of who won was inspired by republican designs with party dictatorship in them. The News is for Hugh Miller for the republican nomination for governor and against Jim Watson and Charley Miller. It tried to make the people believe the democrats were being manipulated by the brewers, accusing every candidate for state chairman of being a saloon ally, and it was done to create such a feeling against democrats that the tempterance forces would demand a temperance man at the head of the republican state ticket and the News would fight Watson and Charley Miller as brewery allies and dictate Hugh Miller's nomination and control him if elected. But its work is so coarse it looks like the proverbial ostrich hiding from discovery by sticking its head under th e sand. —Rochester Sentinel. .I !1 1 I . J - Senator La Follette is very happy because he is without important committee assignments, and the explanation is being delicately conveyed to him that since he went up and down the country exalting himself at the expense of other senators he has become so obnoxious that he is not wanted on any of the committees in w-hose particular subjects he affects special interest. Somehow the man who gives it out that no one but himself is to be trusted is never as popular as he would like. —Muncie Star.

BIG MUSICAL COMEDY COMING Ben Cramer’s Concoction “The Merry Widow McCarty." Ben Cramer's gorgeous musical concoction “The Widow McCarty" is the offering at the opera house Tuesday January 14. “The Widow McCarty” has been termned a musical “gin fizz" which seems a befitting description. The entertainment is bright, snappy, lively and kaleidoscopic, and is calculated to dispel the blues. The story of “The Widow McCarty” concerns herself who cannot touch two millions left her by her deceased husband should she marry before her four daughters have found husbands. As the gay widow cruises along the sands of Coney Island for a husband she meets Barney Muldoon, whom sh e considers her affinity. Immediately they begin laying plans to marry off the four McCarty girls. This situation leads up to a number of other amusing situations and excruciating funny complications. Ben Cramer is responsible for the book, and the lyrics and music have been interpolated. There are mor 5 than twenty song successes, the most prominent being “Why Can't a Girl be a Soldier ” “Won’t You be My Honey. ’ “School Days,” “Morning Cy,” “Honeysuckle Time," “Honey Moon,” “Yankee Doodle Girl,” “You’ll Have to Get Off and Walk,” ‘Molly Malone,” “Manhattan Isle,” “Big Chief Battle Ax.” “Pinkee Pankee Poo,” “Barney Carney,” “Man in the Moon,” “The Irish Wake” and “Bessie and Her Little Brown Bear.” The production is handsomely staged, well mounted and magnificent ly gowned, the scenic and electical and costuming embelishments being fresh and new, and an excellent performance is assured. o How to Avoid Pneumonia You can avoid pneumonia and other serious results from a cold by taking Foley’s Honey and Tar. It stops the cough a~d expels the cold from the system as it is mildly laxative. Refuse any but the genuine in the yellow package.

Ned Bobo came next and he was defeated by a score or luo to 76. Frank Peterson next tackled the coming champion and after a long drawn out contest Peterson won his game by a score of 70 to 87. Peterson in this contest displayed excellent judgment and demonstrated that h e is well acquainted with the game, and succeeded in leaving his opponent in difficult positions, thus making the game a hard one for France to play. Studabaker and DeVoss then fell into line and after a long drawn out game in which Studabaker showed the best form, DeVoss went down in defeat by a score of 80 to 78. Four of the contestants have completed their schedule and three more of the entries have but one game to play and the end of this week should see a champion selected. The sport is now reaching its interesting point and the games are being witnessed by large and enthusiastic audiences. o-— — DEMOCRAT WANT AOS. RAY.
