The Town Pump Two Step Say boys, I want to show you a new one I got in today. It’s a low three eyelet sailor tie made of Patent Borrojaps on the new Two Step last. This style carries a very short forepart, medium HiToe and good high heel. It’s nifty for dress, dance or party wear. -- $4.00 — CHARLIE VOGLEWEDE The Shoe Seller

About fifty from this city helped swell the crowd that saw Maude Adams In the play, "What Every Woman Knows,” at the Majestic theater, Fort Wayne, last evening. Among those who attended, besides those mentioned in last evening’s paper, were Mr. and Mrs. Roy Archbold, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Dailey, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse O. Seliemeyer, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Heller, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Eilingham, Judge and Mrs. J. T. Merryman, Mrs. J. S. Boyers and daughter, Gladdess, Misses Rose Dunathan and Marie Patterson. The many who were privileged to see Barrie's play, “What Every Woman Knows,” interpreted by Maude Adams with a cast of other splendid players at the Majestic theater, Fort Wayne, Tuesday evening were indeed given a rare treat. The first two chapters were quite familiar to the readers of the Ladies' Home Journal, and the continuation of the play, which, came out today in the April number of that magazine will be watched with much interest by all. The Ladies’ Home Journal production is said to be the only reproduction allowed by Barrie, except as given by Maude Adams in the theaters. Much Interest also centered about Richard Bennett, “the leading man,” who Is an Indiana man, a native of Kokomo. So many have asked, “What is it that every woman knows?” The answer taken from the play Tuesday evening is simply this: “If she is the right sort of a woman she knows that her husband's career is as much her making as nis. She finds his weaknesses, does not bolster them up exactly, but supplies that in which he is deficient. That which the world thinks he is, and that which he himself thinks ’ - is, is a reflection of himself and herself combined —though she.be as one name of the play, is “The Girl Without Charm.” Then when the woman "with the charm” comes and threatens to steal him away, he becomes so dull, without his true reflection, that both himself and the “woman with the charm” are disgusted, his eyes are open and he returns to the true one. Every woman knows that she is the maker of her husband, but by skillful management she hides that fact from him.”

SMITH CASE CONTINUED TODAY The second case against Mike Smith for public intoxication, which was to have come up today bofore 'Squire Smith has been continued. The first case was disposed of Tuesday In 'Squire Stone's court, a fine of $5 and costs, maylng the total $13.85, having been assessed against him, which he paid. o— — MAN NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH A man driving a wagon and team came very nearly being struck by a west-bound freight on the Erie this morning, and but for the timely warning of C. E. Hitesman, whp was passing at that time, the man would probably have been killed. It was only after Mr. Hitesman had called repeatedly to the man, telling him of the approach of the train, that he gave any heed, and was able to clear the track just in time. o— HOME FROM HOSPITAL. Luther Boyers, who was taken to the St. Joseph hospital at Fort. Wayne some time ago and there underwent an operation for appendicitis, is so much improved that he was brought to his home in this city this afternoon. He is feeling as good as could be expected, but it will be some time before he will be in perfect health again. He was accompanied home by his father, Dr. Boyers, who left for that place this morning. WRECK ON G. R. & I. Tuesday evening at about 9 o’clock a special freight train, No. 68, northbound, from Richmond, jumped the track) in front of the Filler company's plant in this city, and for seven hours the train was delayed until things were righted so it could continue its journey. The crew was doing some switching when the first car behind the engine jumped the track, which caused the trouble. Word was sent to Fort Wayne and the wreck train was here in short order to place the derailed cars o nthe track again. The passenger train due here at 1:28 a. m. was delayed until nearly 4 o’clock. o WENT LIKE HOT CAKES. One of the best sales on record in the city was that at the Baughman five and ten cent store today noon. Another lot of 150 hyacinths and tulips were received today as advertised yesterday, the sale beginning at 12 o’clock.
