Entered at the poetottw* in Decatur, Indian*, as second cl«»a LAii. Speaker Cook has declined to call a caucus of the lower house, giving his opinion that there is no cause for it. He believes that the discussions should be in the open and the fairplay idea is one that will meet the approval of the people in general. President-elect Wilson declares he has not yet decided upon his cabinet but he has ample time in which to hire these assistants. We believe they will prove entirely satisfactory and that they will be men selected for their ability and not because of any pull. The democratic presidential electors of New York state after casting their 43 vote* for Wilson and M irshall, voted unanimously to turn over their free traveling expenses, amounting to $2,126, to the three , charity hospitals cf Albany. And Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany hall, made the motion. One source of | Tammany's strength lies in such ben- ' efactions. —South Hen Times. — I Senator Stotzengurg of New Albany 1 has introduced a resolution in the senate that SIOO,OOO be appropriated with which to buy the old capltol building at New Corydon, to be preserved, because of its historic significance. The capitol, first of Indiana, was built in 1811 and was the scene of many of the important meetings of our early history. it is proposed that in celebration of our one hundredth memorial • 1 of existence as a state, Indiana buys this property. The greater number of citizens, we believe, will favor this idea in preference to that of expending a million or two dollars in Indianapolis. The Corydon Democrat of last week contained a picture of the old capitol and a four-column story concerning it, urging the plan. Lew O'Hannon, the editor of that paper, puts up a strong argument and his energetic efforts will go far toward making the movemetn a success. The spring rains will be over long before Easter, from the start made Ulis month, and we need not be surprised if the -May flowers come in February this year. While it docant make so much difference in this locality is is causing no end of worry and much damage to the river towns. LEGISLATIVE MEETING JAN. 25.

In addition to this we might add that > the story will be of special interest i because you will have an opportunity to see the play which will be given at the Boese opera house February . stb, by a competent New Y’ork com- | I pany. Be sure to read the story. If , you don't like a continued story, save I the papers and read it when complete. The story consists of seventy-five columns and will be completed within . three or four weeks. - o .

THE EASTER HATS Milliners Already Begin Work for the Early Easter Season Which COMES IN MARCH This Year—Hats Will Have Low Crowns and Flat, Sweeping Trimming.

With Easter only a little more than two months away—and one the short month of February, the milliners are getting down to business early this season. Mrs. C. Boese, of Monroe street, and her assistant, Miss Marie Heckman, this morning started on the spring styles, which will be soon needed by the ladies for their Easter apparel, even if the April-like weather of the present day does not continue. The styles for the season as depicted In the advance booklets, show the equal number of large and small hats, but a predominating feature of both, is the low crown and flat trimming. The small hats fit close and low over the head, allowing the eyes just enough room from which to peep. The trimming at the side of the small hats sweeps low back over the shoulder. What little high trimming there is, on any of the hats, stands upright in one piece, at the front of the hat. Easter comes this year on March 23rd, and there is much wonder as to the weather that will be given for the display of the Easter garb. o ■ - Shamrock Club GONTtmDEtt V ICOM r age one been received by the manager already to be given a try-out on the team.
