Miss Rachel Lewis who begins an engagement of three nights at the ojiera house commencing Thursday, Dec. 10 is accredited as being the most versatileacrtresson the American stage. The following from the Trenton Advocate: A shining star playing all week in the opera house. It is with pleasurse that the^Advocate expresses publicly the sentiments of Trenton theatre-goers. Rachel Lewis is an actress of rare ability and has made a strong impression among us.“ Great "and"genius’’ are much abused words in the vocabualry of the "press agent’’ and it is pleasing to say that Miss Lewis came to us unheralded by advance expressions of this kind. So we can be original and say she is a great, little artist and possesses the element of genius. Her varied reI>ertoire is interesting—Frou Frou, the Idol of Idaho, a Country* Girl —and the other plays give her wide scope for dramatic talent and at all times her versatility was marvelous in the change of roles. The supporting company is made up of excellent material, well balanced and earnest players. We will be pleased to welcome Miss Lewis back again. Another visit in the regular season will be looked forward to with pleasure. Pay Your Electric Light Account.

WON HONORS. Frisinger & Co. at the Stock Show. Secured the First Premium and Showed the Largest Horse in the Exhibition. John Frisinger returned from Chicago this morning where he firm of Frisinger and Company had on exhibition at the International Live Stock Show six Beligum stallions supposed to be the cream of the thirty animals they winter here. The horses were showed against a field of sitxy seven other stallions which represented twelve of the largest importers in the United States and against as good animals as the country can produce and in this they captured two places. It seems as though the two sorrel stallions received special attention from all those exhibited and on the evening they were shown the spectators could hardly be subsided in their cheering for them. One very rich horseman from the east said he' wanted a picture of the two animals ! if it cost him fifty dollars and John ' says he shall have it. Beyond all doubt the firm of Frisinger and Company had on exhibition the largest stallion among the four hundred others and John states that the stable was crowded from morn ing until night with sight seers who ' wanted to have the honor of seeing the largest horse in the country. The firm speak pretty highly of the show and say they will exhibit again next year. RAILWAY NEWS. Clever Leaf Will Add Some New Cars. The Clover Leaf passenge r officials it is said are already figuring on some new carriage equipment for the St. Louis expositon traffic of next year. Just what kind of oars are to be bought or form what company is not yet known but it is understood that the company expects the exposition traffic to save them some first class equipment which the road can not boast of at the present time to any great extent. Some seventy foot vestibuled cars would not be a bad thing for the Clover Leaf and Decatur people will be glad to see thorn appear. ALL GAS CONSUMERS Will please remember that all bills for fuel are due and payable at the office on the first day of each month, and that on the Loth the gas will be shut off if not so paid for. This is in accordance with your contract and will be strictly enforced. Logans-, port & Wabash Valley Gas Co. 27< id 10

DR. PORTER’S IDEA. How to Get Rid of the Faith Curists. In the current issue of the Fort Wayne Medical Journal, Dr. Miles F. Porter, well known in this city, writes on the judgment rendered against a “Faith healer” by a New York judge as follows: “We are informed by the N. Y. Med. Jour, that Judge Haight of the Court of Appeals has sustained the judgment of the lower court in finding guilty a “healer” who allowed his little daughter to die of broncho-pneu-monia without medical aid. Let the good work go on, A few stiff judgments may bring these fellows to a sense of their responsibility. To reason with one who is a faith curist for revenue only is to “cast pearls before swine.” Many faith curists are honest no doubt but they must be brought to know that the strong arm of the law will protect the children at least from suffering at their hands. Let the faith curist believe, if ho wishes that sickness and sin are synonyms, but let him know then that certain sins are in the eyes of the law contagious and certain other curable by proper material treatment and that whether he believes the right or not he must obey it or suffer the consequence.” GOING DEEPER. Drillers Atjain at Work on Rupright Farm. Trustee Rupright of Preble township was in the city today and in - forms us that the drillers are again at work on his farm, making a test of a deep oil well.
