Lotz, of Mancie, Ind., who was democratic candidate for the office of attorney general of Indiana, will again be a candidate for the nomination before the state convention. Mr. Lotz is a fine young man and competent in every way and should again receive the nomination at the hands of his party. He is deserving and we believe will again be named by his party for this Important place on the democratic ticket. —Huntington News-Demo-crat. That's the truth. If there is one .Democrat in 1~-diana deserving of recognition that one is Walter Lots. He is young, full c-f life, a lawyer of rec- 1 ognized ability and will well serve the people of Indiana at the head of. their legal department. He served the party as their candidate two years I ago, and has even greater talent and ability to serve-them now. His recognition is deserving and the Democratic state convention will not be doing its duty if it fails to play fair with Mr. Lotz. The fact that the Chicago, CincSi-! nati & Louisville Railway company has passed into the hands of areceiver is not very encouraging news for those who are hoping for better times. The company owns a line of railroad 285 miles in length, but the I business has been so bad of late that , it could not even pay its men, to say nothing of the Interest on bonds and other operating expenses. What’s the matter with the republican party and the high tariff anyway? 551181 becomes of the boast that a high tariff and good times go hand in hand and that other boast that the administration is at the bottom of the nation's prosperity?—Columbia City Post. Democrat Want Ads. Pay.

Prepare us for this great responsibility by giving us what we demand, and we will become honest, industrious, upright citizens, proud of our ancestry and loyal to nur country.

THE MISSING WORD CONTEST. Dwight Archer was the fortunate guesser in the misei g word contest today, the correct answer being “are" from the Decatur Cement Roof and Block Co.. “victor” fro® Gay & Zwick "much’’ from Kirsch Sellemeyer. Miss Josephine Magley also had the answer correct. Please remember that only one answer is permissible for each person and more answers than one invalidates all you file. o — "THE YANKEE DOODLE BOY." The theatrical taste of the theater going public is constantly changing and lucky indeed is the author who can solve some "play delicacy” which will succeed in tickling the "amusement palate" of the great majority. Such, however, has been Halton Powell's good fortune with "The Yankee Doodle Boy” the comedy drama with music which Powell & Cohan will present here at the Bosse opera house on Wednesday. Feb. 19. The play depicts the adventures of "Bud Hicks” one of those flashily dressed, decidedly independent young fellows who are typical prod acts of our great cities. Bud hails from Chicago, and in the first act is dizzling the natives of the small suburban town of Downer’s Grove, 111., with his "glad rags” as he terms his clothes. The pretty young country girls look good to "Bud" and he makes a deep impression by telling of his great wealth and many remarkable achievements, which exists only in his imagination. However he establishes himself as a great favorite and is having a most enjoyable time, when his "butting in” propensities get the best of him and he mixes in a family quarrel. Bud simplay can't stand idly by and see a woman get the worst of It, so he interferes. and thereby brings on a climax. The scene of the second and third acts shift to Chicago, and he is having a strenuous time. Finally all ends happily and a tragedy is averted. During the action of the piece there are ten original song hits introduced, as well as several pretty dancing numbers. Seats for the "Yankee Doodle Boy” will be on sale at the Holthouse Drug Co. Prices 25c. 35c, 50. 0 . — FREE TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

Allison, president of the Allison Land company, of Paragould. Arkansas, is at home after a business trip to that section. He tells a wonderful story and before repeating it we wish to call attention to the fact that Arkansas is a temperance state. A few evenings ago Mr. D. F. Quinn told Mr. Allison he wished to show him the greatest freak he ever saw and accordingly took him into a grocery store of that city and signaled to the proprietor who produced a cheese box in which he had an ordinary looking mouse. You may judge Mr. Allison’s surprise when the mouse began singing like a canary bird. The animal has caused quite a stir among people of that section, and St. Louis papers have featured it in several column articles. o i Mrs. Fred Sellemeyer is improving each day. o —— REAL ESTATE Farm and city property to sell and buy.
