Wabash Valley Electric Railroad. Contract to be let for the construction of an electric road running from, Dayton,Greenville and Fort Recovery Ohio, and Westchester, New Corydon, Geneva. Linn Grove, 5 era C ruz. Bluffton, Huntington, Marion, Muncie, and thence to Dayton, the place of beginning. 1 • w < It is now a foregone conclusion that the road will be surveyed in early spring and work will begin as soon as the weather will permit. This line runs through the richest and best farming country in Indiana. The rich and fertile valley of the M abash river is noted for its good crops of wheat and corn and other grain, and the road would give an outlet to the celebrated stone quarries of Linn Grove, for which that place is quite noted. ts. A matter worthy of mention is. that while the Salvation army stands the lowest in order of churches, it did more to relieve the necessities of the poor than any other five religious demominations except the Catholics. These two societies vied with each other in large cities in feeding the poor and homeless children, and in eleven leading cities of America more than SO,OOO waifs were clothed and fed on Christmas day. It is estimated that 12,000 were cared for in Cincinnati alone, the honors being equal between the Salvation army and the Catholic societies of that city, and this was done regardless of race, creed or color. A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard st., Philadelphia. Pa., when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough for which many years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of the royal cure —“it soon removed the pain in mv chest and I can now sleep soundly something I can scarcely remember doing bes ire. I feel like sounding its praises throughout the Universe.” So will everyone who tries Dr. King’s New Discovery for any trouble of the throat, chest or lungs. Price 50c. and SI.OO.

Good show at Bosse’s opera house tonight. Don't miss it. Manager Bosse isto be complimented on securing Cosgroves & Grant’s Comedians, and a full house should show their appreciation. Dr. Theodore F. Wolfe, who has done so much to render known the places made sacred by associations with American authors, appears in the January “New Lippincott with a charming paper called "A Bookish Corner of New Jersey.” In this ho writes of Dr. Charles C. Abbott, The Gilders, “Clementine,” the poetess, Thomas Dunn English, and many other celebrities. Miss May Fiske, the winsome Kitty Starlight of the Dazzler, who will be seen at the opera house tonight is now singing better than ever. Always a charming singer, and with a voice remarkable for its strength and carrying qualities, she seems this season to lie fairly out-doing herself in her musical numbers. Her characterization of the part of the London concert hall singer is light and dainty, with delicious bits of comedy here and there, which serve as a fine background for the broader work of thecomedians. To miss the Dazzler at the opera house tonight will be to miss the choicest collection of clever comedians, pretty girls, entertaining stories. graceful dances and new songs that is gathered together in any farce comedy, this season, All the music, dances and specialties of last season, having served their purpose and had their day, have been brushed aside, and the piece comes to us this season replete with the newest, latest and best of everything in its line. The latest popular songs, the newest dances, the most unique specialties have been gathered together to form the entertainment. Not in seven years has so complete a change been made in the piece as during the past summer, and the oldest friend would not recognize it were it not for the title Long years ago some wise men remarked:’ “Laugh and grow fat.” If there is any truth in that saying it is safe to prophesy that our theatre-go-ers who visit the opera house tonight are more than likely to gain a pound apiece in avoirdupois. On that evening Cosgrove & Grant’s Comedians will present the Dazzler, or it might be said, the new Dazzler, for since it was last seen here the piece his been changed materially. The songs and dances which constitute about threefourths of the program, are all entirely new this season, not one of the old numbers remaining. The costumes are also new throughout and of rich material, striking colors and made up in the latest New York designs. The company consists of the Musical Luciers. Emil Huersel, Misses Smith, Griffin and Griffith, Sunderland and Fooda, Johnston sisters, Ed Blanchard, the Vassar trio, May Fiske and a chorus of handsome ladies.

When Henry Irvins Wan Hlaaed. ‘‘l was hissed every night for a week ! when I was playing the provinces about 35 years ago," said Henry Irving I to a writer In Alnslee’s. “I was given an engagement as leading man in a very small theater, and before I made my bow to the audience I learned that the man whose place 1 had taken was very popular in the vicinity and that the people strongly disproved of the way in which the management had forced him to retire, so that when I made my appearance the audience showed their disapproval of the manager by strongly hissing the successor to their favorite, and they kept It up for a week. It was a very unhappy Week for me.” Started a Run. A very simple statement proved very unfortunate to a savings institution in the rural district recently. An editor, in writing of the institution in his paper, said: ‘The president is a very tall man; the cashier is short.” And in less than an hour the excited depositors were asking. “How muchhow much?”—Atlanta Constitution.
