They got ac tion and gave Elrod a deservedly good whipping with raw-hides and cluhs, after which Elrod shook the oust of Rockville. That is the correct way to settle the cowardly correspondent and the people of Rockville are to be congratulated upon their effective work. They are too many cowards masking behind the title of a correspondent of the People. Greencastle’s representative did well to ring oil when he did.

A TexaM Steer. During the time that Chas. H. Hoyt, the most prolific of Anieri can play producers, was engaged in writing the lines and studying out the -‘business” for a “Texas Steer,” he remarked frequently to his more intimate friends that it would surely prove his greatest success These intimates had no confidence in Hoyt’s ability as a pronosticator. It did not seem possible to them that the brilliant wit who had given the amusement loving public such laugh provokers as a “Bunch of Keys,” ‘A Tin Soldier,” “A Brass Monkey,” etc., would be able to excel these splendid efforts. But Hoyt knew what he was talking about. Even then he had in his mind a cast of nineteen people, all comedians and comediennes of undoubted talent or of great promise Heading this list of nineteen was Tim Murphy, who had already given Mr. Hoyt, the critics and theatre goers in all parts of the country conclusive proof of his talent and great versatility, though still a young man. That “A Texas Steer” and Tim Murphy made the most pronounced and instantaneous hit ever reached by an American comedy is a matter of theatrical history, Mr. Murphy will he here with “The Steer” on Friday, Nov 22. The unctuous aud versatile Tim Murphy will he supported by substantially the original company, with complete scenic effects and stage accessories and the engagement will undoubtedly be one ol the banner ones of the present sea son at the opera house.

Arthur Tracy Gone Wrong. Newca«tle Preas. A telephone message received at this office just as we go to press in forms us of the serious condition of our old friend A. W. Tracy. The message, from a prominent physician here, states that his mind is evidently deranged, and hopes for his recovery are doubtful. He was found by a neighbor aimlessly wandering around with his shoes on bis hands, his ulster wrapped around him for a vest, and his feet encased in a pair of buck skin gloves. It is also stated^that when he sleeps, one leg rests under the hack of his neck and the other in the cuspidor. His very delicate condition is the cause of the arrival os a nine pound boy at his home at 1 :20 o’clock this afternoon. Mother and babe doing well. We hope for Art’s speedy re-
covery.

John W. (’ravens of Bloomington, commissioner of the Fifth district, said: "I am heartily in favor of the exposition. It should tie given in a manner that will shed renewed luster on the name and fame of the best state in the Union. This cannot tie done without funds. Financial matters are serious questions and from start to finish they must be handled by men of recognized ability
lud striotest integrity.”
“How about the sources of revenue?* “The expenses ought to be so divided among the government, the state, the city of Indianapolis and the exhibitors that the burden will fall lightly on each, taking into consideration the great good that can be accomplished. Of course no exposition onght to be undertaken unljBS it is to be made worthy the oc-
casion.’’
"What about the buildings?” was
asked. To this Mr.
“There ought to be a main buildini
of any people. This being so, what more fitting than an exposition commemorating the first century of our existence; why not publish to the world the pride we feel in the developments of
our first one hundred years?
“From a wilderness within the memory of living man we have risen to a great state, containing 2,500,000 of intelligent, industrious and thrifty people, with laws affording protection and sup port to every measure and means o, merited mvd. To think about it is to become enthnsiantic, and the hope follows that the commission appointed under a resolution of the last general assembly will devise a plan to be submitted to the next legislature fnlly enabling it to take the proper steps necessary to carry into full effect the purposes of the resolution. That the state is able to thus emphasize its marvelous advancements no one doubts. How to best do this is a question to be considered. Tsu this end the commission will labor faithiilly, and we may hope successfully.”
