The president’s message was greeted with an apology or criticism by the entire press of the country, and some of the apology and some of the criticism is not of the character to popularize the president with the masses of the people. A dispatch from New York says that a bread trust, with a capital of $15,000,000, has been formed. Backed by plenty of capital and organized, it is said, at the instigation of some of the largest flouring mills in the country, the bread trust is expected to add a cent a loaf to the price of bread and so vie with the beef trust and the milk trust and the other trusts in adding to the cost of the primary necessities of life. Governor Marshall has been criticized by some of the bourbons for the fact that a relative of one of his appointees had been given a position in one of the state institutions. The governor, in his usual characteristic style, came back at his critics and named about every republican officer in the state house who had a member of his family or a near relative holding down a warm place at the expense of the state. The governor is usually loaded to the brim for those who play only the peanut game in politics. The report that some mean democrat was the author of the report that the republicans would abandon their love feast this year is a false cry. Every democrat will enjoy reading the re-

port of that love feast, wherein the ’ Heveridgeites would speak their real 8 mind of the Fairbanks’ and the Fair- * banks’ would return in kind their private opinions publicly expressed of . the insurgents. Hanly would add to the joy of the occasion by expressing ’ himself in vigorous language as to l what he thought of all of them, and ) then the entire assemblage could be 5 given the opportunity of getting out j of their systems what they thought of Hanly. By all means the love feast. WEEK’S VACATION At Christmas Will be Given the Glove Factory Em- • Employees. WHIR OF MACHINES A Pleasant Sound Heard Entire Year Except for Two Weeks. The whir of the machines at the Waring glove facory is a pleasant sound, and all the more so to the sixty-five or more employees who are looking forward with pleasure to their Christmas vacation of a week or so. The factory runs the entire year, with the exception of two weeks —a week during fair time and a week at holiday time—so the vacations which are far between are indeed welcome. The factory will doubtless clsoe on Friday, December 24, and will likely not resume operation until the Monday after the New Year. The plant is a busy one, and the output, which consists of canvas gloves and mittens, finds a ready market in all parts of the United States, from coast to cost. The girls of the city and surrouding country find steady employment here, and the concern is one of the best and most substantial in the city. They deserve a happy Christmas vacation and will doubtless enjoy it. - SALE—Two True Worth colts, one coming three years old.and the other two years old. Inquire tele phone 300.

SOCIETY COLUMN Dinner Party Given Today by Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Colter. VISITING RELATIVES Euterpean Club Meets With Mrs. W. H. Nachtrieb. • The “Jolly Dozen" club will hold its next regular fortnightly meeting with Mrs. Eva Hoagland, meeting next Thursday evening. The First session of the Concord Lutheran Aid society since its organization two weeks ago, was held with Mrs. W. A. Fonner at her home north of Monmouth. A good attendance was manifest and the ladies planned for an earnest campaign that will result in much material good to the churcn. After the business period the hostess served an appetizing lunch. Among those from the city who were present were Mrs. John Houck and Mrs. John Christen, president and vice president of the society. The next meeing will be held with Mrs. L. N. Grandstaff at Monmouth in January. The Friday Night club will meet this evening with Miss Minta Acker instead of tomorrow evening, as heretofore announced. Among the many joyous reunions looked forward to at the holiday time will be that of the Acker family on New- Years, that being the golden wedding anniversary celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Acker. The Eastern Star club will meet at their hall Friday evening and some business of importance will be transacted. All members are requested to be present. Miss Alma McCormick of Fort Wayne, a talented elocutionist, well known to many in this city, has been engaged by the American Yeomen to give an entertainment at the Yeomen hall tomorrow evening, December 10. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Colter entertained a number of relatives at dinner today, the company including Mrs. Israel Rex and daughter, Effie, of V arsaw; Mr. and Mrs. Martin Beery, of this city; Joseph Shady, of Wells county, and Earl Colter of Bobo. The Euterpean club will meet this evening at the home of Mrs. V\. H. Nachtrieb on Winchester street. A good attendance is asked. - ' o ——' 1 ■— BOSSE OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT That this city will have few opportunities of seeing a Shakespearian play this season goes without saying, 'with the exception of seeing Wi’liam Owen and associate players, and it will be safe to say there will be other. With our increasing interest in Shakespeare, presentations are becoming rarer and rarer. This is due to the fact that in order to play the great parts, long, hard, and highly intelligent preparation is necessary. Few actors are willing to take such time and trouble. They prefer an easier way to success. As "Orland" in “As You Like It," Mr. Owen is seen to advantage. He brings to the part fine intellectuality, great feeling, a courtly manner, and an expressive face and a natural gift of comedy portraiture. The company supporting Mr. Owen has been selected with special care. They have been picked with a special eye for their fitness to this kind of drama. Everyone is an actor of reputation, and among whom are five of the well known Donald Robertson players who were at the Art Institute in Chicago last season and many others of (jnvtropolitan reputations. Church goods, religious articles, prayer books and rosaries at the new jewelry store, Didot & Son, north side of court house. They ask a share of your business. o * * * NOTICE. * * * * Pay your gas bill be- * * fore the tenth of the * * month and avoid the * * penalty. * * Indiana Lighting Co. * * * **************
