It's good to meet a democrat like Clem McLain, who made the trip from Washington here to register and who will return next November fifth to cast his ballot. When a man will go to that much trouble, it ought to seem easy for us at home, to whom the inconvenience is practically nothing. The last call —Won't you please register tomorrow, if you did not do so in May, or have since moved into another precinct, ward or township? If you don’t register- you can’t vote next November, and every live citizen of Indiana will want to east a ballot at that time. Do it, and insist on your neighbor and friend taking the trouble to register. .The tidings from Vermont as a result of Tuesday s election are cheering for the democrats. They gained about eight thousand votes in a state that has been republican for half i century. A similar gain in Indiana would mean 70,000 votes and a majority of twice that number over either the regulars or moosers.

Each realizes that the other wing of the g. o. p. has no chance, and that fact is causing the independent voter to join the democrats. Democratic party lines remain intact, and with the additional independent vote, their majority in November will be large indeed, and it seems to be growin each day. Insurance men tell us that the reason that the new rate, with .a .reduced basis, has not been .placed in effect here, is because one of the requirements, the building of a new reservoir at the waterworks plant, has not been complied with. The city council will include this in the next year’s levy and it will then he built. In the mean-

This evening Mr. Stoneburner will again show for the second time ‘‘Sights of a Great City,” which so well pleasea tne public on Monday evening last, that a return date was secured for this evening. They were somewhat handicapped on Monday evening owing to the heavy rain which forced them to the inside and the hot weather was so intense that all of the show could not be given. Tonight, however, the entire play with additional views, win be shown, along with moving pictures. The pictures show how people have to live in the slums of New' York City, forced to sleep on roofs, fire escapes and otherwise during the hot months of summer. The mansions, sky-scrapers and other prominent buildings and persons will be shown on the curtain and it is worth any one s time to see the excellent views to be shown for the small sum of 5 cc-nts to all. FOR SALE- —Some very fine Concord grapes. 'Phond 413. —John Scheimann. 203t3

REDEMPTION. A more desirable story and one with a moral would be hard tn secure, better than that for the Star theater on Friday night, when “Redemp tion, a story of a poor working girl. ' is related most interestingly. Xitia Amont, with her father and little sis- , ter, had lived most happily. One day, being sent with an order to the city, thejittle girl became dazzled with the luxury and splendor of would-be city life, and sitting herself down on one of the soft cushion couches in an ante-room, fell asleep. A count, passing by, noticed the beauty of the girl and asked her to come and enjoy the lich honors, which she did not possess. She goes and after a life of ' : orne short while, is led to the world I of fashion and by and by -becomes a most prominent dancer, and feasts on wines until ruin is her lot. At last her life leads her to a dive and becoming mixed in a riot, is taken by the police and imprisoned. While there she is visited by a Sister Superior of St. Azare, who tells her of her fate, but is answered by a blow on the cheek. The sister responds with kind words and good advice, and finally the once slave of the streets reverses her life of shame, and leads one of a nurse. The story is one of the most touching, and one you cannot afford to miss. Ten cents will he charged. —o ACADEMY OPENED.
