CALAMITY AS A CAMPAIGN ASSET The public must “watch its knitting.” A democratic legislature at this time would mean another democratic United States senator from Indiana and only the gods know what else. The fight is going to be for the control of the legislature in Hoosier politics this fall. Don't be led astray by trumped up issues. —Winchester Herald. Could you imagine anything worse? Another demodratic United States senator would certainly be a calamity that would be shocking, especially to the ambitions of one Senator Beveridge and his particular wing of the republican party. Another democratic United States senator would mean that the postofflce appointing power would be transferred to an other and that would mean a greater calamity to those who feel disposed to hold down a soft place with Uncle Sam as- a paymaster. The Herald simply cannot stand for all this ca lamity, so it has this early started its calamity campaign, which tas for its object the lining up of the| faithful with a view of saving the country from the calamity of another United States senator. To save the grand old party, it may be necessary to fight the war over and wave the red flag until they are black in the face, but anything Lord is better than all this calamity. The democrats do not need to lose

heart over this early cry of the Her-| aid. They have been making these calamity campaigns for a season or two, their chief grievance then being the disgrace as well as calamity of electing John Adair to congress in the Eighth district Their appeals have swollen the majorities of Mr. Adair until now it is conceded on all hands that he is not only the best congressman that ever represented the district, but that his re-election should be endorsed by all political parties as it will be by the people on election day. This being true, the unterrified should cheer up and take new courage. TODD 4 FRIES MAKE GOOD. Despite the miserable weather of Tnursday evening a fair sized crowd attended the opening performance of the Todd & Fries Musical Comedy company, which presented the musical play, “The Town Sport. ” The play and company proved to be far above the average of popular price attractions, as it was a clean up-to-date musical production, and the steady stream of wit and flow of comedy kept the audience in laughter all evening. The musical and dancing numbers were well rendered and received repeated encores. The roster of the company includes some very clever musical and dramatic people. The play announced for tonight is The Merry Widow and Her Beau.' a musical comedy, one of the funniest imaginable, and in which fourteen musical and dancing numbers a-e introduced. Another feature of ton’ght’s performance is the sketch of Mr. Bobbie Woolsey, entitled “The Race Track Tout,” enhanced by spotlight effects, and introducing the song, "Ghee, Ain't It Tough to be Broke.” Mr. Woolsey has played the best vaudeville circuits with his act and always receives special notice.

THE SOCIAL NOTES Enjoyable Social Was That Held at Home of Mrs. H. S. Michaud. NO INSTALLATION By Pocahontas Lodge Last Evening on Account of Bad Weather. "Happy thou art not; For what thou hast not, still thou striv'st to get, And what thou hast, forget’st.” —fShakespearr,. ' The Bard of Avon struck the keynote to the whole progress of civilization when he wrote these words. For when desire ceases satisfaction comes, then progress also ceases and decadence begins. We may live longer, as the Chinese minister expects to, by resting on the oars of life and simply drifting, but the sad part is, we never “get anywhere;” as the Chinese nation shows; American progress, as well as that of the individual, depends upon a consuming desire, that strives perpetually for the ideal but never reaches it—quite. On account of the inclement weather, there was no of the fPochahontas lodge Thursday evening and the installation of the officers was necessarily postponed. Though the weather man cannot be given a mite of credit for the success of the affair, the Presbyterian Ladies’ first social of the year, which was held Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. H. S. Michaud, was a very cheery one, forecasting many good things for the society for the year to come, and the cheer within quite overcame the gloom without About twelve members were in attendance, and the period was spent in reading and discussing plans for the year’s work. A tempting lunch provided by the hostess closed a very delightful time. A goodly number representing
