Albert J. Beveridge For nearly twenty years we have fought for the chance that now presents itself and right at the front, leading the army of men who believe in the people having power, has been John W. Kern. Now you have an opportunity to place him where he can continue to fight for you. Don’t lose it. Success, the well known magazine, has issued its first report of a strawvote taken among 25,000 stockholders and life members selected because of their integrity. From this they have estimated that the next house of congress will be eight democratic. The vote in Indiana shows eight districts, including the Eighth, as democratic, two republican and three in doubt, but favorable to the democrats. Two years ago this test of the Success resulted exactly correct. A Fine Program. The great Knights Templar parade recently held in Chicago will be shown in motion pictures at the Crystal tonight. This parade was made up of 60,000 knights from every nook and corner o fthe world, and costumed as they were with their helmets and white plumes, made the finest parade ever held any where. This is the greatest feature film before the public and is showing to packed houses every night. There will also be a reel of good wholesome comedy and a drama, making a variety of subjects that cannot possibly prove monotonous. Remember, three big reels, two illustrated songs by Wilbur Drake and good music for 5 cents. Come to the show that speaks for itself and you will make no mistake. o SOCIAL A SUCCESS.

A host of neighbors and neighbors, numbering seventy in all, gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rabbitt and informed Mrs. Rabbitt that they were there to celebrate her fortieth birthday. Mrs. Rabbitt at once made an unconditional surrender and the guests proceeded to take immediate possession of the home, and to speak of it in the mildest terms a merry good time was had by all. Each guest came well equipped for the occasion by bringing their baskets plenteously supplied with dainty good things to eat, and when it was all set out the table fairly groaned with the burden, and we will venture to say that such a variety of good things would have been gratifying even to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, had he been invited. After all had indulged in the sumptuous dinner that was soon prepared the remainder of the evening was spent in social chatting, games and singing by the Union Chapel male quartet. Miskes Ina and Lucile Rabbitt entertained the guests very appropriately by instrumental music and by singing a few choice duets. At a late hour, after congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Rabbitt for their kind hospitality, all retired to their respective home. Following are the names of those present: Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lower.
