The result of the option election in Madison county completely upsets the calculations made by experienced politicians before the vote was taken. The anti-prohibition element confidently counted on a sweeping victory, feeling assured that all the larger towns —Anderson, Alexandria, Elwood, etc. —would roll up decisive majorities for license and regulation. Instead of so doing, Anderson only recorded a verdict against prohibition, but by a majority less than half of what had been expected. Inasmuch as Madison county adjoins Marion county, and is practically a next-door neighbor to Indianapolis, the significance of the result of Wednesday's election can hardly be underestimated. —South Bend Times. THE RAILROADS COMPROMISE Officials of the Clover Leaf railway were here yesterday holding a conference with the officers of the Fort Wayne & Springfield and it is reported that the affairs concerning the crossing of the railway with the interurban tracks were compromised without any difficulty and the woik there will proceed. It is expected that the suit for injunction recently filed in court by the Clover Leaf will now be dismissed. :: Listen To Your Pains, f ! Aches and Pains Are Nature’s $ Warnings of Trouble Ahead, £ Mental and physical sickness are exactly like the breaking down of the loaded coal wagon across the car tracks. The hindered traffic represents the state of mind or body under diseased conditions. Our aches and pains are nature's warning that we have violated the laws of life and health and soon we must pay unless we heed. Most ills can be traced directly or indirectly to the stomach or digestive tract. Eat right and it's 10 to 1 that you will be right in health, and health means wealth. Don't load your stomach with heavy foods such as meats and bread and potatoes in the morning. Try E-C Corn Flakes or Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes with good milk or cream and perhaps a little fresh or stewed fruit. You'll like it—lt’s good—so crisp and delicious —easy to digest—ready to serve. . Children grow strong and healthy on it • Invalids find It acceptable and nourishing and busy men and women find they can do a day's work without the hindrance of a sour stomach or an aching head if they eat it. Remember it’s the wonderful Egg-O-Seo process that makes it so good to eat and so easy to digest.

There fa much of interest to the educated patrons of the theater in the coming production of Shakespeare’s Richard 111. While soulfullness and sentiment are bound to be appreciated by people of understanding, no matter what may be the surroundings, the grandeur of thought and expression appeals more fully to the listener if it hag a background and setting in keeping with our time. In this age of progress, the depth of human sentiment is not lost, in fact it has broadened and deepened by reason of man’s added capabilities of perception. And this power of utilizing his gifts for beautifying. lu Shakespeares text the language is

sublime and under the inspiration of his most wonderful work, there has grown in the mind of Don C. Hall, one of his most ardent admirers ,a desire to bring out all its glory by introducing all that can be •used for making the stage attractive 1 giving light and shade, weaving the story into the settings with such a nicety, as to hold the auditor in wrapt attention throughout, interested as he has never been before. And the reading is done intelligently and with such clear enunciation that the language can be easily understood by all. The production will be seen at the Bosse opera house all next week. GOES TO INFIRMARY Fred Richards, Noted Character of this City, Will Spend Last Days Here SICK AND DESTITUTE Man Who Spent Good Part of Life in Prison is Dying of Consumption Fred Richards, who twenty-five years ago was convicted for the murder of Amos Backestoe.and whaserved in the state penitentiary north at Michigan City for nineteen years, being released only a few years ago, is dying of consumption. For some months he has been living at the home of a daughter, Mrq. Elwood Blazer, in the south part of town. They are very poor and the burden of supporting the invalid father has been a heavy one. Arrangements were made today to take the old man to the county infirmary, where the closing days of his life will no doubt be spent. In his younger days Mr. Richards was a powerful man, standing six feet in his stocking feet and weighing more than two hundred pounds, he was one of the best men in this section of the state. He was respected, though it was known he j was of the fearless kind, until his i arrest for the murder of a neighbor. IHe has always denied that he mad any part in the crime, and Chhrles Worst who was convicted with him, died, also of consumption, maintaining to the very last his innocence. Richards is well known by the older people of this community and by the younger generations, all of whom have heard his life story over and over. It is likely that he will live but a few weeks, but he will have good care at the infirmary. o NOTICE. Dr. G.

OFFICERS ARE BUSY Plate Glass Window in a Geneva Home Was Broken Saturday Evening BREEZY NEWS ITEMS Much Doing About the Hustling Little Town of Geneva Geneva, Ind., May 28.—(Special to the Daily Democrat)—The officers are busy running down several clews looking to the detection of some miscreants who threw two stones which destroyed a large plate glass window in the home of William A. Aspy. The dirty deed was committed on Saturday night, and some hot clews have already been scented which, throws considerable suspicion upon couple of people here, and it is thought that in a day or two the true offenders will be known, and then the law will take a hand, and some one will have to dance. A real estate transaction was pulled off here today which conveys to James, Frank and Charles Armstrong the fine body of land owned by Simon P. Grace, and which is located but two miles from Geneva. Mr. Grace will move to Michigan, and buy a larger body of land. His farm here embraced ninety-five acres and brought a fancy price. Mrs. H. A. Fristoe and daughter came home yesterday from an extended absence in Lexington, Ky., where 'they visited, with relatives. They enjoyed a fine time. Geneva will celebrate the glorious Fourth and preparations are already under way for this important event. They will make the effort to eclipse the celebration of one year ago, and every one knows that their last one was hard to catch.

Trains arriving from all directions conveyed buyers to the city last evening and this morning early the stables were invaded by men whose visit here was for the only purpose of becoming the owners of some of the excellent animals to be offered for sale. Auctioneer McNabb after divorcing himself from his coat and shedding his collar, seated himself in the stand and announced the opening of the sale. The buyers Immediately prepared themselves, reinforced their judgment and donned their spectacles that the quality of the animals could be correctly judged. Then on came the horses and with the horses came the gentle warble of McNabb, who lost no time in getting bids, and good ones. As the sale progressed the horses got better, they became more expensive likewise, and the men whose livlihood is provided by the buying and selling of horses placed bids without hesitancy, they owning the animals only after a spirited spell of bidding was experienced. Among the many buyers who were here were Dr. Menette, Marion, Ohio; James Harruff, Bucyrus, Ohio; Harry McNear and Frank Jlanley, Chicago; Hershel Beavers, New York; James Bailey, New York; Michael Meibers, Buffalo, and Ot Smith, Buffalo, and these men are loud in their praises about Decatur as a horse market. Another sale will be held two weeks from today, and ’it will be the last one to be held this spring.

“THE PRINCESS” (Continued from page 1.) Faust. The rowdy words and tuneless music in his natural voice made known the truth at once and the Prince, enraged, struck him a powerful blow, and the maidens and the princess ran and scattered screaming. In the last act the Princess sat troubled and angry in her gardens. There was war and her haughty spirit desired fevenge. While she sat there the maidens brought the word of the prince's death. And remembering the good prince who once saved her life, and her father and her dead mother's wishes in regard to this matter, her heart was melted with sorrow, but the sorrow was too great so that she was dumb. Then the maidens, gathering around her sang “Home they brought the warrior dead Yet she neither spoke nor moved.” It happened that the prince was not killed, but a false report had gone out, and he then appeared upon the scene and there was a joyful reunion. Perhaps the most pleasing part of the prgoram was a drill by the Senior girls, robed in flowing gowns of their class colors, the Lady Blanche in their center, instructing the pupils in their graceful exercises. Violet and Ipse, who appeared several times in the play, were splendid. At the close of the “Princess” a short program of songs and speeches were given. Miss Esther Sellemeyer presented the spade to the Juniors. The spade represents “digging,’ l which the giver and her classmates have ■ done well through their high school course. Miss Sellemeyer gave this speech easily and with grace. Don Burke, president of TO class, replied. Following were a number of spirited class songs and the class yell closed the exercises. —o MANY SPECIMENS OF GAME Roosevelt Party Has Been Successful in Africa.
