Attractions at Opera House Splendid. “The Little Outcast" at Bosse’s opera house Wednesday night was one of the best attractions ever seen in that play house. The play is a strong one and the company splendid, every actor a star. The audience listened attentively and were highly pleased. The scenery and stage settings were original and beautiful. ' ■ i ■ Fred C. LaDelle gave an interest-! ing performance in magic at the 1 ojiera house last night and proved •' what we have always claimed that 1 he is as good as the best in his line. There are none more clever or ori- ' ginal and his future is certainly : bright. He did a number of new 1 and startling acts in his perform- 1 ance and the crowd who attended ! are enthusiastic in their praises of 1 his work. He is an cnertainer hard ' to equal and must be seen to be ( appreciated.

A STEP FORWARD IN MAYORALITY

Indianapolis, Nov. 27. —The availability of mayors as candidates for governor is one of the questions that Democratic leaders here are discussing just at present. This matter has been brought prominently to the front by the fact that at least three of the De iocratic mayors of the more imi>ortant cities of the state are being mentioned for the nomination for governor. In each case the fact that the man has achieved distinction by being elected to office in a Republican stronghold is being urged in his support. The first gubernatorial boom launched for a mayor was that started about a year ago for Mayor Forkner of Anderson. Mayor Forkner was elected in the general landslide of two years ago which turned most of the principal cities of the state into the hands of the Democrats. Anderson is Republican, and Mayor Forkner broke all records in his race. Naturally his success brought him prominently before the people of the state, and a boom for him was launched in a moment. Mayor Fogarty of South Bend is another Democratic mayor whose success in overcoming a Republican majority has caused him to be boomed for the nomination for governor. Like Mayor Forkner. Mayor Fogarty surprised his Republican opponents in beating them. The latest boom, of course, has been for Mayor Holtzman of this city It cann >t be said that any of the three men talked of is a candidate, but the Democratic leaders are certainly having something to think about in the propositions that have been made to nominate men now at the head of various municipalities.

LOST OR STOLEN Valise Containing Valuable Papers Disappears. Treasurer Koenig of Interurban Company is Looking for His Property. J. H. Koenig, treasurer of the ; Fort Wayne & Springfield railway Company, while driving with parties from Ohio over the proposed route to Fort Wayne Wednesday afternoon had the misfortune to loose his grip which had in it a number of valuable papers pertaining to the Interurban company. Mr. Koenig was horrified at the loss and at once hastened to all the banks at Fort Wayne and notified them not to pay any orders that might be presented until the grip was found and also notified all the banks within a radius of fifty miles around here. He then drove back over the same route without any success whatever and this morning he again started on the hunt and up to this time the whereabouts of same cannot be located. The grip and pipers under the existing circumstance could not possibly benefit any one and if same is found the party should at once return them. Mr. Koenig can not throw any light on the subject at all but still an air of mystery seems to surround the affair.

It is probable that there will be "something doing” in the political line during the next few days. The fact that Senator Beveridge and several of the Indiana congressmen are home “to spend the holiday." while the great Republican love-feast and the time for the reorganization of the state committee are fast approaching is more than likely to be responsible for many little talks that will probably lead to something. Senator Beveridge, since his arrival here, has been in close consultation with several of his lieutenants It is the understanding that an effort is being made to call off the various fights over committeemen in all but the Eleventh district, where it apparently will have to go on. and this may be the result of the conferences that have been held. The new interurban station in this city, which will be the home of all the interurban lines running into Indianapolis. is beginning to take form and the work now promises to be pushed rapidly. Work has advanced to the point where the steel frame is being put up and already the frame for the first three floors has been erected. The work has been stopped temporarily. however, by an accident to the machinery, as the large steel derrick with which the steel pieces are lifted into place fell cn Wednesday. Fortunately no one was injured in the fa'l. and the frame-work was not struck. It will take several days, however, to repair the damage to he derrick. The builders still c’nirn that the station will be completed within a year.

OPEN GRAVEL PIT. <r' Steam Shovel to Do Work on Bowers Farm. J.S. Bowers gravel pit near Pennville will soon be working over time according to the following from the Bluffton News: The C. B. and 0. is getting ready to open the gravel pit at the Twin Hills, and will commence in a few weeks to lay track from the main lina to the pit, a mile and a half away. The track will first be completed to Pennville and then the pit line laid. The steam shovel to work the pit is here, and the engineer for the shovel and crane, Herb McCoy, arrived yesterday from Cincinnati, where he has been working for the Bracy.Howard Company on the water works system. The shovel will lift a yard at a time, and when it begins work the railroad company will begin getting a good return on the monej’ it has spent. LOTS OF GAME. Berne Hunters Are Home From Maine. Messrs Kuntz, Hoffstetter and Reber returned today to Berne from Maine where they have been hunting for the past month. The undoubtedly had great success they having brought home with them six deer and one large moose. Os the above named Kuntz and Hoffsteter seemed to have the better success as they killed four deer and the moose between them. This is one of the largest hauls made by Adams county men for some time and is the only moose that was ever brought into the county. The boys report having a good time and say they will return next fall. BUNYAN’S LIFE. Stereoptican Views Saturday Night at Presbyterian Church. Rev.

HIS NAME IS OFF # Editor Tracy Banished From Church. > I . I ’ Upheld Dancing and Worldly Amuse- , ments and the Church > Trustees Met. i » 1 Rev. (J. T. Reed, a famous * Evangelist has been conducting revival service at Hartford City and 1 with great success. Recently he preached a sermon in which he attacked wordly amusements,especially dancing. Editor Tracy of that city answer the reverened gentleman through | the Times, using rather strong arguments. As a consequence he has been expelled from the church membership. The I following is from the Hartford City News. The controversy between i Editor A. NV. Tracey and Grace M. . E. church on the subject of dancing came to head Tuesday night at a meeting of the official board of the church. Mr. Tracey was not present at the meeting but the board took action just the same. It was suggested that the board would be happy to act on Mr. Tracey’s re’sig- ■ nation from membership in the church. The resignation was not ; I at hand, but a member of the board says Mr. Tracey is no longer a memi tier of the church. Just how the ■ severance of relations was brought s about the church man was reluctant to say. At any rate, hereafter Mr. Tracey's dancing will not concern the church any more than the dancing of any other non-member. Perhaps it would have been better to have brought about the separation before the controversy began. I O.
