It’s surprising how quickly an act of the legislature can take effect. John Adair s boom fblf governor is growing rapidly khd his name meets with genuine favor everywhere. There is positively no use trying to stop that fellow. The grand jury indictment warrnts have practically all been served. In nearly all the cases the parties have given bond and in due time Prosecutor Parrish will have his inning in court, that the bill regulating the saloon business be made a law. What he says he means and the legislature might just as well quit their horse play, if they are indulging in any such pastime, and produce a law that is the real thing along those lines. They will thus save time and avoid trouble and criticism. There is naturally much speculation concerning the new progressive league that has recently been organized ■within the republican party.

publican state conventions. Hitherto, the Initiative, referendum and recall have not been regarded as ~epublican doctrines. The party has yet to indorse the demand for the direct election of senators. Yet these are all favored by the new organization. It Is strange that such ultra democratic doctrines should be espoused by men who have been nurtured in the federalistic school. — IndianapoliJ News. PUBLIC BALK.

BIG SHOW HERE MONDAY. "Peck s Bad Boy,” which is to be offered at the Bosse opera house, Monday, January 30th, is the old favorite eomedy with music, which the grownups of today liked so well when they were children, and which the children of today will like even more. Yet the comedy is not antiquated, but has been brought right up to the minute with the introduction of modern songs and the use of the latest devices in the way of laugh-provoking incidents. All that is said about Peck’s Bad Boy” of the present season is the everpopular story of the typical American boy, whose pranks upon his father and mother and upon Shultz, the old German grocer, are the talk of the neighborhood in which he lives. The musical setting for the story is supplied by the various members of the acting company, each of whom contributes some kind of an enjoyable specialty.
