Tom Taggart is again running for mayor of Indianapolis—that is the hot air artists on the Indianapolis newspapers have him running. They know better, of course, but good news is scarce. The Sunday base ball law is to be attacked in the Indianapolis courts. The constitutionality of the law is questioned, has been questioned for 10, these many years, and it will be a relief to know where we are at on Sunday ball. Now comes old Jim Bingham with a boom for the Republican nomination for governor. At least he threatens to twist Jim Watson’s tail for that honor. Both Jims are good advertisers, but it will take a real good man to succeed in such an enterprise, and we doubt whether either of these advance agents have the goods.

At the same time Mr. Smith, in sympathy with the men who have grown old trying to keep the matrons young, acted as host to the ladies’ husbands. In this way the meeting was a very successful one, and though the boys did not get much chance to talk, they made some headway, and there is talk on the men's part of commanding their wives to elect Mr. Smith as president of the club. The evening was spent in games, George Flanders securing a pretty prize in a guessing contest. Luncheon was served on small tables and the guests found their places by seeking a verse of poetry, alluding to the month In which they were married. A very merry evening.

It Tastes Good and Creates Strength yfffbi the famous cod liver and iron medicine, without oil. Vinol is much better than cod liver oil and emulsions, because, while it contains all the medicinal value they do, it disagrees with no one.
