A “LOVE FEAST” IN NAME ONLY

Indianapolis. Nov. 21. —Unless the present indications prove to be totally unreliable, the coming Republican love feast to be held here next month will be about as far from what the name would seem as can be imagined, s For all the signs at present point to i about as stormy a time as the Republicans have had for months. The rea- I son lor this is that the Beveridge men are apparently planning to turn the love feast into a Beveridge demonstration. That this will never be allowed by the friends of Senator Fairbanks goes without saying, and the irrepres- i sible conflict seems bound to come as surely as does the love feast unless the Beveridge men give up their cherished plans. The Beveridge followers have never showed a marked Inclina ■ tion to give way when they once set their minds to anything. Just nt present they are making great claims to havirg unhorsed the Fairbanks man agers. and it will not be surprising if they try to take advantage <>t the supremacy they claim to hold to rub it in a little on their long-time antagonists. If this is attempted there will come the rub. Senator Fairbanks Is too powerful In Indiana with the backing of his strong machine to be ruti over easily. If th ■ Beveridge men want a light they will probably get it. Just at present mutual friends of the two senators are busy trying to arrange a i program for the meeting that will be i satisfactory to both sides. Whether they will succeed is a question. Even if they think the danger is headed off. some rampant Beveridge man is likely to upset all plans by allowing his enthusiasm to get the better of him when he Is sp ‘akfng. and the battle will then be on. as the Fairbanks people will be sure to retaliate In kind. That the meeting will l>e an Interesting one goes without saying, as each side will be on the watch to catch the other attempting some unfair trick. The tumblers and the police are artftl n'vvicc n tr.in.fi of hide nml seek

POOR OLD JAY. That County Skipped by Rural Route Man. Adams county seems to be in the swim now as to rural routes. Jay county h's bad promise of complete system for more than year | but the officials are too busy right now establishing additional service in Adams county. Although Jay county was one of the first in the Eighth congressional district to sesecure rural mail service of any sort it apparently has less luck in securing extensions than any other. Jay county has twelve routes while Adams county is being given additional service which will make the number of routes in the latter county fifteen or sixteen. Poor old Jay. —Portland Review’. SECURED CONTRACT. Charles Yobst to Plumb Postoffice Building. Charles Yobst was this morning awarded the contract for plumbing Fritzinger's new postoffice building on Monroe street, his bid being $l9O. The building will be fitted in a modern style and all the fittings are to be first class. The heating apparaus, one of the best furnaces on the market also arrived today and will be put in at once. The new block, which by the way is one of the best lookers in town will lie ready for occupancy in about three weeks. iNtk Sull •' j^^^***'' * ‘.. MBS. CARRIE NATION.

in this city and the citizens are the interested s] -ctators in the interest- ' ing little comedy that is in progress, | Mayor Holtzman has proved himself an exception to m- st officials and is | really trying to rid the city of the i gamblers. The gamblers are not anx- ; ious to g>. and hence the quarrel. The raid made on the Toomey poolroo.u start d the ball rolling. Since then other gamblers have been keeping quiet. The Republican morning organ is taking a hand by charging that . gambling goes on as openly as before. ! Thea the police will plan a raid and i sweep down on the know n houses and pici up a wagon load of the shape of card tables and various' gambling devices. The gamblers will open in another place only to be discovered and raided again. But the gamblers arc getting tired of the hide and seek game, and as it is proving expensive to furnish new parapher- i nalla constantly, they will probably drop the contest, at least for the present, and await a more favorable opportunity to open up the city. Two of the local papers here are affording some Interesting reading for their patrons these days and incidentally are causing not a little enjoyment to hosts of people by one of the special features that is being run regularly. One of the papers is offering a prize for suggestions from women as to the best way for a woman to preserve the love of her husband, and the other paper has offered a prize to the woman who will tell the best way to entertain her husband's friends who drop in for an evening or when they arc invited to make a call. The answers that have been received fr sn ladles throughout the city and state and which have been printed at length in the papet's have been responsible for the amusement of the readers. Some of the plans outlined for the entertainment of men are oaongli to make a bachelor glad he Is single lest his wife should try them and lose him the last friend he has on earth.

POOR “SHINNY” Arrested by Sheriff for Stealing Corn. John Shaffer is Now in Jail to Answer to Charge of Petit Larceny. John Shaffer, commonly called “Shinny Honus” is in jail and on the very serious charge of petit larceny. The poor old man has been having his full quota of the worlds troubles lately, his house having been destroyed by fire, his horse killed and now he languishes in jail for the first time in his life on a charge more serious than ■ intoxication. His arrest was due to an affidavit of information by William H. Cappock who says that on November 10th last, John stole and carried away from his farm about eight bushels of corn, of the value of $2.50. “Shinny” was arrested last night by Sheriff Butler and seems to be quite comfortable in the county criminal home. After he is out of this scrape an effort will lx l made to secure him a place in the Soldiers home. ONLY GUARANTEED CATARRH CURE Hyomei Costs Pou Nothing if it Fails Says The Holthouse Drug Co.

• Amusements. That the management of “A Little j Outcast" the big success of last season, which comes to the opera house next Wednesday, Nov. 25 believes in having the best there is to bo had, is evident from the fact ! that they have induced that clever actress, Mrva Jefferson, to foresake the “continuous" and appear in “A Litte Outcast.” Vaudeville artists prefer their own line of work with short hours and large salaries, so the offer which was made this little artist must have been a big one for her to accept such an engagement. Miss Jefferson appears as “Bob,” a New York newsboy, a role which her small stature will suit to perfection. The play is one of New York life and the stage settings are exact representations of famous points of interets in the metropolis. By special inducements manager Bosse has secured the services of Fred C. LaDelle the magician for Thanksgiving night. Mr. LaDelle is the man everybody talks about, his feats of magic marvel the most i learned they are elevating to the mind and pleasing to behold. The Springfield Democrat says of him, “Kellar and Herman may have longer programs than LaDelle but they are not one whit more clever, nor do they use more pleasing accessions.” This is certainly strong endorsement from a city where they get all the leading attractions. Mr. LaDelle has a few days off and is visiting his family and taking a rest, and being a special friend of the manager of the opera house Mr.Bosse was induced to give his program at the opera house on Thanksgiving night on the condition that the price should be 25 cents that all of his friends could see him, which they undoubtedly will. There will be no extra charge for reserved scats. Seat sale at Holthouse drug store. PIANOS AND ORGANS AT A GREAT BARGAIN. I have left from my speical sale in Adams county. One fine ma-
