HERE TOO MIKE. A Few Good Tips That Apply Elsewhere. There is one habit that a good many young fellows and not a few old ones indulge in, that adds nothing to the sum of their happiness and that is decidedly disagreeable to those within hearing. Reference is had to the propensity of a lot ot fellows to use profane language on the street and other public places. It is to say the least a rude habit and many times the fellows guilty of it to do not pay any respect to ladies but persist in ripping out oath after oath w?h the abandon of a pirate or parrott with an idea that it is smart. There is a law against profanity and if the )x>lice would make a few examples of them fellows who make the air blue with their oaths there would be a much clearer atmosphere. And then a few examples might be made of the cuss who persists in emptying his mouth of a lot of filth on the side walk. The two habits mentioned have no defense and should be put on the list of nuisances that should be abated without any delay.— Munei-* Herald. DEGRADED WOMAN. Mrs. Sisemore Sues Colored Husband for Divorce. Katharine B. Sisemore lias filed a complaint for a divorce against her husband, George W. Sisemore, in the superior court and it will be heard this term of coart. Mrs. Sisemore is white and her husband colored, and their marriage at Portland two years ago created a great deal of surprise. The wedding also resulted in the arrest of Albert Milton, of this city on a charge of i>erjury, but the charge was later dismissed. The complaint was taken away by the attorney and the causes of action are unknown. It was not learned when they separated, hut. it occurred recently.—Marion Leader.

WORK BEGUN ON CALUMET CANAL TODAY

wcianapolls. Oct. 24. — Governor Durbin and Senator Fairbanks were at East Chicago. Ind., today attending the ceremonies marking the beginning of work on the Calumet canal from Indiana Harbor, near Whiting, to Hammond and East Chicago. The governor pressed a button that started the great work. Millions are to be expended, and it is the plan to have the canaJ completed within a year and a half. The celebration today marks the beginning of one of the greatest enterprises in the history of the s’ate. For years a number of capitalists who are heavily interested in land around I Ake Michigan in l.ake county tried to get a bill through the legislature authorizing an assessment of property for the building of the canal, but they were defeated. The Calumet canal bill was one of the most interesting features of several sessions The defeated promoters showed their pluck by organizing a great compnay to errry on the work as a private en terprise. The result will be the redemption of thousands of acres for fa< tory sites and the building of a harbor that will ho a gr< it factor In the commercial life of the s'ate. Tt Is expected that within the next few days "Hol" Shid ler of Marlon and "Hilly” Taylor of Indianapolis will formally announce their candidacy for the Republican nomination for go ver nor. With all due respect to Shldeler and Taylor, there is something really humorous about their timidity” in announcing themselves. Every man' , 1n politics tn Indiana has known for i

a ''“ar or more tnat no. n tayior and Shldeler were candidates, as they have been actively seeking support They tell everyone they are candi dates but they are reserving their announcements until what they regard as the proper time. It seems to have become a fad among the Republicans especially to make a long canvass for an office and then to announce their candidacy. What difference a formal announcement will make in the case of Shldeler and Taylor is hard to de termlne. as It will not make them any more a candidate than they are now However as It has become a fad. the newspapers will simply make the an nouncement and play it up as a big item of news. Senator Eb< n Wolcott of Wolcott was here today on business. He has announced himself as a candidate sot renomination In tlie district composed of Newtc n. Benton and White coun ties and he will probably not havs much trouble In winning. He was one of the most popular members of the senate during the las* two sessions and all his friends here want to sec him returned. Wolcott did a good job of boosting t clay for the Tenth dis trlct candlda es for state office. And everyone knows that they are suffi clently numerous in that part of the s;at“. Wolcott is for J. Frank Hanly for governor and Is confident that he will be nominated. He Is also for Sec re'ary of State Storms and the rest of ’em from the Tenth. The fact is. the Tenth district candidates seem to have as loyal becking from theft own constituents as they could postd bly desire.

Amusements. One of the great substantial successes of las< year's dramatic season was ‘‘An Indiana Romance," a four act pastoral comedy drama from the pen of J. C. Nugent, and produced under the direction of F. W. Caldwell, -which will be the attraction at the Bosse opera house on Saturday, Oct. 24. ‘‘An Indiana Romance" was first presented at Lafayette theatre in Washington, where it scored such an emphatic and immediate success that it ran for seven weeks, playing to capacity business. Following the Washington engagement the play was taken to New York, where the critics of last resort as it were, at once pronounced it a genuine and refreshing novelty. The public of the great metropolis flocked to see it, and its New York run was marked by the same success that attended the premier presentation in Washington. "KATHLEEN MAVOURNEEN.” In presenting Monday night 's bill at Bosse's opera house the C. Y. M. S. Club are offering a pastoral com-edy-drama of unusual strength and beauty. The j>art of Kathleen O'Conner is perhaps one of the str< ngest romantic parts in romantic comedy. Iler simplicity, grace and wit, tend to bring her prominently to the audience, while her affection for Terence O More, and her unhappy ambition which mars their happiness wins the sympathies o? the audience entirely. Terry's quaint humoi and droll sayings, convulse his hearers while his openhearted frankness stamps him a typical Irish laddie. Father O'Cassidy's deep interest for his friends and his anxiety to help them makes him a most lovable character and one that appeals to all. Taken in its entirety Kathleen Mavourneen will please its most critical audiences. Every effort has been made to stage it correctly, and during the action of the piece the club has arranged for some pleasing specialties and also for an excellent musical programme, so that there will not be a dull moment during the entire evening. The cast is as follows: Terence O'More Frank Wemhoff I Bernard Kavanaugh,Henry Thomas Father O'Cassidy. M.O. Wemhoff Darby Doyle ** Capt. Clarefield Thos.E.

ME UP MEM New York Police Arrest Alleged Anarciiiot In Midst of Speech. Meeting at Murray Hill Lyceum l« Thrown Into Greet Disorder by Arrival of Bluecoats. John Turner, an Englishman, Charged '.Vith Anarchy and Violating Alien Laws. New York. Oct. 14.—Armed with a warrant sworn out by Secretary Cor telyou of the department of commerce and labor, four Immigration Inspectors with several secret service detectives and a number ot policemen, went to the Murray HUI Lyceum last night and arrested John Turner, an Englishman, on charge of inciting and promoting anarchy, in violation of the alien labor laws. Turner had just finished a lecture on "Trade Unionism of the General Strike," and the hall, which was crowded, was in an uproar when the' arrest was made, but the police were too numerous for the crowd to do more than shout their disapproval. Turner was put aboard a revenue cutter and taken to Ellis Island, where he was locked up. Immigration Commlslcuer Williams had had a warrant for Turner's arrest for the past five weeks. The federal | officials allege that he had been going from city to city preaching anarchy, and though trailed by a numer of se cret service detectives, he was not apprehended until last night. Emma Goldman sat on the platform with Turner and denounced his arrest, but urged the crowd to leave the hall without making a demonstration. , The polite confiscated a lot of an archistic circulars and cards which had been distributed announcing that ' ‘‘John Turner, chief organizer of the National Shop Assistants' (retail clerks’) union of England, a member of the executive committee of London trades council, would deliver a series of lectures on Oct. 27. Nov. 1. 8. 3 and 15.” Turner was arraigned before a United States commissioner today. INCREASE OF CONSERVATISM Buying Is Not Go Confident, Srys Bradstreet's Review. New York.
