Few men have won greater favor and more attention than has he. He is not seeking newspaper notoriety or hunting up the correspondents at Indianapolis, but he is honestly and intelligently represent.

tutional, Judge Samuel Artman has been named as the prospective head of the Prohibition party ticket as a candidate for president in 1908. The bill providing that women might vote in city and town elections and hold certain offices was killed in the senate. And every vote cast against it was a Republican vote. The "blind tiger’’ law was passed with an emergency clause and is now in force, but is it in effect? THOUGHTS ON FEB. 12, 1907 (By a High School Sophomore.) Somv people think that the only Way To make themelves famous in the world today, Is to commit some cmvairous deed, That these are the ones the world hath need. They think not that the little things, The sorrow and care which each day brings,” Are to be fought as well as the bat. ~ ties great . And must be congjigred ere it is too late. For the little things we do every day Are the very ones that count, I say. No matter how small the deed may be It will in like manner return to thee. The world without these acts would be A dreary dwelling for you and me, They have smiled away many a tear And caused dismissal of many a fear. And when our reward shall come And we shah receive the laurels won The little things we have said or done Will not be forgotten by the Almighty One.

WE WIN BY A NOSE Decatur Elks Defeated Bluffton Brothers BY THE MARGIN OF SIX PINS Can’t Blame the Umpire for This— Interesting Bowling Conftest Last Night. j The closest bowling contest that has been held in this city for a long time was 'played last evening at the Palace alleys, between the Bluffton Elks and the local Elks, and it was a battle royal, the locals winning by the narrow margin of six pins for the three games. The Bluffton Elks were assisted greatly by Ollie Craven who, by the way, is not an .Elk, but who played with the team owing to the fact that the locals used an outside man when they played at Bluff, ton, and we might add that Craven was their main stay, as he bowled three very consistent scores and pulled out with the high average. The first game went to the Bluffton Elks by a margin of sixteeen pins, and it was then shown that the contest would be close. In the second contest the locals got together nicely and won by twenty-nine pins, thus giving them thirteen pins the advantage for the last game.. The Bluffton Elks, however, turned the tables in ttfe last game and won by a margin of seven pins thus giving the locals the series by a total of six pins, as it was agreed that total pins should count. A nice crowd accompanied the Bluffton team and considerable good-natured rooting was indulged in. The scores: BLUFFTON. Sturgis 148 137 182 155 Lipkey 148 158 140 145 Craven 127 158 166 150 O.

Few piays have written in •. r.ich the story unl< ds ir x : .' more ■ •rurally v- ' H s’-i“ interest than "Running for Governor,” which Robert Downing is playing with remark, able success. The author has observed the unities. There are no weary soliloquies to tire the audience, no asides to explain matters, no eaves. droppfijg. overhearng important con. versations and no villain. Os course there is a clash of interests. The mother wants to marry her daughter to a title, the reporter loves the girl, while the nominee for the govenrnor. ship of the state, Hon. John North, is endeavoring to keep the knowledge of his first wife from the ears of the second Mrs. North aid to prevent his brother-in-law from wedding wife number one. A bad boy and a servant girl with a passion for sensational literature also figure in the plot which moves along with many complications. Herber Bashford, whose pieces are familiar to magazine readers wrote the comedy for Mr. Downing and the title role is exactly fitted to him in every way. Opera house, Monday, Feb. 25.
