INDIANA REPUBLICANS FEEL WORRIED ♦

Indianapolis. Nov. 24. —There are 1 four counties in the state that are just ! now giving the greatest worry to the I Republican state managers, and the reason for their anxiety may be explained by saying that by carrying any two of these counties tor their legislative tickets in the election next year, the Democrats will be able to control' the legislature on joint ballot. When it is added that in every one of these counties there are factional difference.that threaten to split the party, the uneasiness is explained. The four; counties which have caused the man agers to sit up nights as a committee . on ways and means are Marion, Elk-| hart. Vigo and Vanderburgh. These ■ counties have all been in the Republican column in recent years, but themanagers are very doubtful whether they will remain there. The loss of any two of the counties, they admit, would change the complexion of the legislature on joint ballot and would mean the finish of the junior senator. That conditions are bad in the four counties all the managers will agree. The Democratic victory here means a harder fight for the Republicans; in Vigo county the party is split in twain; in Evansville the decent peop’e are aroused over the license that has been given under Republican rule to the criminal classes which resulted in the recent riot, and in Elkhart county there are just as many factional fights as can be found anywhere. In view of these facts it is no wonder the managers are worried. George Ade's comedy success. The County Chairman, which deals exclusively with "politics as she was’’ in Indiana a feneration ago has h«.n

Now comes the word from Washington that Cromer may be left off the committee on postoffiees and post roads entirely. Tins is cruel, after hearing so much about his importance with the workings of this committee. It simply verifies that old I saying that there are some things you hear that must be taken with a grain \ of salt. This stunt is not intended 1 for political capital to bo used by that aggregation of Adams county antiCromerites. Amusements. Lovers of melodrama*regret that there are so few musical numbers and specialties introduced into the play, but probably they have not ' looked for the reason, which is his; the vaudeville field is a tempting one of many artists who have a specialty to exploit.; as it means high salaries and who less routine work; consequently managers of melodramas find it is a difficult task to compe e with the vaudeville house. “A Little Outcast” which comes to the Bosse opera house next Wednesday, Nov. 25., is a marked exception to this rule as the management out-priced the continuous managers and have secured artists who have new and striking specialties. These are interspersed through the acts with good effect and give an added zest to the production. While “A Little Outcast” is styled , as a production with “No stars , but the play,” several prominent , people are included in its roster. That gay, small person,Myra Jeffer- , son who has been identified with . I 1 ! Soli Smith Russel, with Neil Bur- > ] j gess in ‘‘The County Fair,” and

showing in Indianapolis, and the attraction probably called together a greater aggregation of political lead- ' era from over the state than any other ] company that has appeared here this ! season. State officials and Marion county officials predominated at the ■ performances, but it Was noticeable that many of the leading politicians , of both parties over the state were here to see the show. At each performance tickets were in demand, and the politicians at times were hard pressed to find an opportunity to get seats. Their familiarity with pulling wires generally came to their assistance. however, and helped them out. The politicians enjoyed the portrayal of rural political methods, too, and it is safe to say that Ade’s play can stay in 'ndiana indefinitely and always find good audiences. Is Indiana going polo mad? This is the question that is being asked seriously by many people in the central part of the state and up through the gas belt, where polo is nourishing so vigorously. For the benefit of the devoiees of the sport it may be added that the cynics who are asking the question are people who have never looked inside a polo rink and do not care for the game. But the great jump the game has made in the estimation of the people and the popularity which the game has won are really worthy of consideration. Two years ago the game was practically unknown in Indiana Last year it won its way into the hearts of many of the people, and this year it bids fair to rival any sport that ever has been tried in Indiana. Throughout the whole state polo teams have been organized and there is hardly a city of any size that does not have its professional team.

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 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, t»nd 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 seats. Seat sale at Holthouse* drug store. WHAT IS CATARRH ? Hyomei Cures This Common and Disagreeable Disease.

Nov. 24,—After sessions which continued through thirteen days, the twenty-third annual convention of the American Federation of Labor Las adjourned sine die.

It was furnished by Delegate Andrew Furuseth of San Francisco, who, in defending the legislative committee of the federation, arraigned the United States senate, which he declared contained “the most insidious enemies of labor.” He charged that there was a party in the senate that is deliberately taking every right away from the working people.
