We are not at liberty at this time to say who have been engaged, and it is possible that a complete program will not be published in which the hames of the performers are given out, but the committee composed of the above named gentlemen is staking its reputation that the real star,s of the city are to take part. It will be a real old-fash-ioned funfest, and if there are .any persons who consider themselves capable of doing a funny stunt they may volunteer their services to the committee and arrangements for a rehearsal will he made. The price of admission is to he within the reach of all and it is to he a guaranteed attraction. Your money back if you have not had one hearty laugh after another. As outlined the performance will start with a grin., expand into a laugh and close with a scream. Keep a quarter ready and watcfl for Mm announcement of the ticket sale.

NO CHANGE IN WOODMEN RATES
pending Final Disposition of Question Policies Will Be l-nder New Plan. Rock Island, 111., Dec. 2.—lt was officially announced by the Modern Woodmen of America Saturday 'that pending the final disposition of the rate question in the last court of appeal'the old rates of the society will obtain and that no more policies under the new rates will be issued. The decree from Judge Shirley in the circuit court, of Sangamon county restraining the society from doing business under •the' new rate plan made it necessary tltat the old rates he applied. The problem that now confronts the society is the status of the 200,000 members who have left the order in protest against the new rates as adopted by the head camp at Chicago. Under a special dispensation they have 4int.ll Dec. 10 to get back into the order without being counted as lapsed members. On the other hand, there are 150.000 who hate either joined the- society since the new plan was adopted or who had their policies 'transferred from the old to the new plan. What is to be done with their policies and rates is another problem. The head officers assure the mem bers that pending the final settlement of the controversy an equitable rate will prevail for all these members of uncertain status and that no further effort will be made to force the collection of the new rates until their ( legality is finally decided on in the supreme court. _. The cold snap the weatherman had said would hit us last night did not materialize and today was during the early part of it the equal of a number of its predecessors. At noon it was somewhat cooler and the sky was murky with small clouds that only let the sun through in streaks and for little spaces of time. The weatherman now forecasts rain for tonight or tomorrow and don’t say anything about the temperature. It is probable, however, that a cold snap is not far ofT and it is almost always a sure thing that we get some zero weather along abput the middle of December.

He at once arranger for the requisition of Elder and as soon as the papers had been sighed by Governor Marshall of Indiana and Governor Deneen of Illinois he telegraphed a description of Elder to the sheriff at Danville. Saturday night he w'as informed that Elder was being held there. Sheriff Hoover left here Sunday morning on the 11:09 train but was delayed by a late Wabash train and did not reach Danville until after midnight. lie arrived here with Elder Monday morning. Elder did not seem to realize the importance of the action against him and on the way over he told Sheriff Hoover that he was anxious to get back to work and thought he would plead guilty. When he arrived here, however, and was taken into court, he was made to understand that a plea of guilty would mean a penitentiary sentence.. He then changed his mind and employed W. H. Parkinson as counsel. * _ Elder’s wife and children have been the objects of a great amount of charity. Ix>cal aid has been given them so two or three years and the township has paid out considerable money for their support. Elder is an able-bodied man and ns a carpenter makes good wages. It is understood that he will try to justify his absence by claiming that his wife is not computable, but this will not be sufficient to excuse his failure to provide for her and the children. The case will bo called before Judge Hanley tomorrow morning.

Mrs. Ramp and Miss Tillie were at the hospital when the operation was performed and Mrs. Ramp is still there. Miss Tillie remaining until Monday evening. The surgeons found that the bone was infected, the consequence of an slu* had ten years ago.

A piece of bone as large and as long as one’s little finger was removed. She was on the operating table forv two hours. She was not regarded out of danger until late Sunday night when a marked improvement was noticed and now she seems to be on tDo road to recovery.

CHARLES MALCHOW FULL-PLEDGED CITIZEN
Aged Herman Resident Who Has Been a Voter for Half a Century Took - Oath of Allegiance. Charles Malchow, an aged and well known German citizen and resident of Jasper county for the past forty years, was never a full-fledged American citizen of the United States until Monday afternoon, when he subscribed to the oath of allegiance required by the United States of all foreign-born persons who seek to become American citizens. In 1859, while living in Laporte county, Mr. Malchow took out his first papers and was thus entitled to vote. He had bsen in the United States only two years at the time. He was told that that was all that was necessary and he has been of the impression all along that he was a bona fide citizen. About two monthß ago he saw in a newspaper that it was necessary for a foreign-born person to take out second papers and to subscribe to the constitution. He at once got out the papers issued to him 53 years ago in Laporte and examined them and found that they referred to second papers. He talked the matter over with his wife and daughter, Miss Tillie, and decided that be would lose no time 1n completing the naturalization started more than a half century ago. Accordingly, he saw Qhas. G. Spitler and the proper notice was filed with the clerk. Last week he received notice that he should appear at the court house on Monday, Dec. 2nd, with his witnesses and make proof of his qualities for citizenship. When he arrived at the court house he found that there were two others who were there for the same purpose. Also C. R. Thompson, a naturalization examiner, from the bureau of naturalization of the Department of Commerce and Labor, was on hand to examine the applicants before Judge Hanley. The others were Alex, Bleitstetn, a Russian Jew who lives at Newland, and Harold Wikstam, who works for D. S. Makeever. Mr. Malchow was the only one of the three that was finally passed and he subscribed to the oath of citizenship and immediately afterward was shaking bands with a number of fellow citizens Who happened to be in the court room. “I wanted to have everything right and to be a citizen of this country in every way,” remarked Mr.Malchow. Alex. Bleitstein did not fare so well. The naturalization examiner asked him a number of questions which he could not answer. He did not know who the first president of the United States was, had never heard, of Abraham Lincoln, did not know who the governor of Indiana was nor how he was chosen. Neither did he know how, many bars or stars there wese in the American flag, nor what the bars and stars mean. He can read the English language, but when bis first papers

were taken out he signed by mark. Now he signs his name in English. The examiner recommended to tha court that Bleitstein’s case be continued until he learns something about our country. The court agreed with the examiner and Mr. BleßeteAn will be given a little book printed in several languages which will furnish him some information that is regarded essential before an applicant is finally passed. is a bright young Swede. He knew most of the questions asked, and promptly said that Lincoln was one of the presidents. Asked what was going on when he waa president, he replied "I doant know, I doant bane here then.” iMr. Wikstam would have been passed but only one of his witnesses was here, viz. D. S. Makeever. Shelby Comer was the other witness and was not able to get into town. His case was continued until Mr. Comer cap be asked a few questions. It costs $4 to take out the final papers.
