Workmen are busy repairing the various macadam streets and the change is certainly a welcome one. Several ugly holes have been filled and the streets repaired “look as good as new.

With the concerts of Sousa’s Band at the Indiana State Fair, during the week of September 14. will be two artists who accompanied the , band on its tour of Europe, and who I sang and played before the royal heads of nearly every coun try on the continent, among them being | the King and Queen of England, at j Windsor Castle. The soprano i soloist is Miss Estele Liebling, and , there will be violin solos by Missl Anna Otten. Neither have ever! been heard in Indiana. These two, artists will be on both programs at j j the fair grounds on the afternoons of September 10 and 17, and they ! will also be heard at the evening I i concerts on these dates, whioh oc- ■ cur at Tomlinson Hall. While Sousa’s Band has been at the Indiana State , Fair several times, this will be the i first time a singer and a violinist! have appeared on his program here “Peekaboo” waists and openwork | stockings are now in great disfavor with the fair sex in Kansas City. I It is not that beauty has grown any j more modest in the display of i‘s ■ ! charms but it is all due to an inva- j sion of the frisky and pestifenous j liittle flea The Kansas City flea gets in its deadly work on the fair and the vain, and the slim and the fat alike, but it seems to prefer a nice, soft, lovely society girl to any man that ever walked. Hence it is that the shrug polite in Hyde Park society does not now convey an idea of chilly demeanor. Neither do the fidgets make one think there that one has stayed too long. To see a pretty girl wince and surrepsurreptitiously wiggle one foot over her ankle, or cross her legs and sway back and forth, means only that she has had another “bite." If she suddenly slaps the region of her heart, it is not a signal that love is lieuting wildly in her breast. On the contrary, it only signals that the frisky flea has penetrated the filmy net or luce of the "peekaboo” and has raised a little bump that will irritate for hours to come.

IN MID-OCEAM. Indiana Men Send a Message Home. Marriageable women of Indiana and elsewhere, attention! In the middle of the Atlantic ocean, tossing on its broad bosom, is a disabled steamship and on that steamship is the man who promises to marry, if he is elected Governor of Indiana. Mr. Taylor's announcement that he would get married if he was elected has made him a solid phalanx of marriageable women in the Hoosier state. Beyond political honors Mr. Taylor has accumulated stocks and bonds seized and possessed lands and lots and has rights, titles and choses in action. He is deserving of the prayers of the women. According to word, received by the friends of William Taylor and John B. Cockrum they are “held up” in the middle of the Atlantic by a broken shaft in the steamship. A passing vessel destined for Southampton spoke with the disabled boat. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Cockrum were to reach New York September 1, but nothing has been heard from them and they are not now expected until Saturday. Floyd A. Woods has not heard anything from Mr. Taylor, but be thinks Mr. Taylor will be home within five days.—lndianapolis Star. Mr. Taylor is well known here, as well as all over the state. BACHELOR MAIDS.
