Nat C. Goodwin in “Oliver Twist.”

The original New York production in five reels of “Oliver Twist” with the noted star, Nat C. Goodwin, in the title role of Fagin, will be seen at the Princess Theatre for one night, January 15th. These pictures cannot be classed with the usual photo play as they are of an entirely different class and far above anything yet produce! in this line, as every member of the company is a recognized artist and the company posing for these pictures, is the original company that played at the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York, giving the all star performance of “Oliver Twist,” commemorating the one-hundTedth anniversary of the birth of Chas. Dickens. Nat C. Goodwin has long been the idol of the American theatre going public, and his portrayal of the di:cult characters is all that could be desired and his work in the pictures is typical of the finished artist.

The interesting story of “Oliver Twist” is deiighHullytoldandall the familiar scenes and incidents found in the widely read book are vividly and faithfully portrayed in the films.

INSURANCE AGENT HAS FINANCIAL TROUBLE

Roy A. Stanton, Agent for Peoples Co, of Frankfort, Left Number/ of Obligations.

A new suit filed in the circuit court against Roy A. Stanton, a young life insurance agent, is said to be but one of several that are to follow, and many stories of Stanton’s obligations are being told. The suit filed is for the colieetion otf a note of S2OO given last July Iby Stanton and endorsed by Lane, It was in favor of Henry Cards, and the action is brought by Attorney Dunlap. Cards is a farm hand employed by Clyde Randle.

Young Stanton came here several months ago and was an industrious life insurance agent for the Peoples’ Co., of Frankfort, and wrote a large number of risks. Pot ©me time Trustee Ed Lane, of Newton township, worked with Wm and it is understood that Stanton took a lot of notes for the insurance and that foe has foiled to realize on many of these. He left here recently and soon The State Bank of Monon had his automobile. attached and it Is to he sold Thursday, Jan. 22nd, unless Stanton arranges to meet his debts by that time. The machine is at the Shaffer garage and he owes considerable there for repairs and storage. He also owes a large bill to 'Mrs. J. W. Medicus for board and to merchants about town. It is estimated that his overdue accounts run in the neighborhood of SI,OOO. Stanton came here from Francesyille, where he had been a school teacher, but he originally came from Flora, Carroll county, and ft was his brother,, George Stanton, whose dead body was found recently in the ruins of a biirhed bam. Stanton issaid to had prov ious financial troubels. He is a clean man in appearance and was devoted to Sunday School and to church work and had no evil habits. His friends here are of the opinion that he will make all of the outstanding accounts good. He is said to be working at the insurance business in some town near Indianapolis at this time.

ASSESSOR ROASTS TAX LEVY INCREASE

Shelby County Official Tears Into 1913 Legislature for Reckless - Extravagance.

Indianapolis, Jan. 12.—George A, Parrish, assessor of Shelby county, Saturday caused excitement in the meeting of the state board of tax commissioner® with the county assessors, when he took occasion to “roast”’ the 1913 legisalture for its extravagance and increasing the state tax levy and referred to. the “last speaker of the house” (Homer Cook of Indianapolis) as the man who “put across” the law extending the terms of the county superintenderit of the state for two years beyond the time for which they were elected by the people—“in order to increase his own political influence by allowing these superintendents to exert their influence with the trustees and teachers all over the state to aid in this man’s election.”

Mr. Parrish said the increase in the tax in Shelby county _ In. one year would mean more than $19,000. Then he said the legislature had a particular failing, which he described as follows: “The main trouble with our legislature is that'too many of them go over the state, gaining and really buying their influence throughout the state by increasing appropriations for those that desire them.” The legislative committee of the assessors reported in favor of an increase in wages for the assessors—all of whom, the resolutions declared, have been and are underpaid. The resolutions also pointed out the need of some sort of legislation that wih" remedy the conditions whereby it is almost impossible to reach depositors in banks and similar institutions with the present taxation system.

Tom Marshall Gives Vent to Rather Astonishing Opinion.

Every once in a while that grand little statesman, Thomas B. Marshall, startles the world with something so very new that we ordinary people back in Hoosierdom don’t know hardly what to think about it. His latest pronouncement is to the effect that four-fifths of our high school graduates are failures. Tom, it may be remembered, is the man who quit the practice of law and entered polities in order to give his conscience breathing room, and the expansion seems to have affected his reasoning. Wj rather suspect that President Wilson and Secretary Bryan must 'have some quiet moments of embarrassment when they read what this little Hoosier statesman is pulling off in his efforts to put the people wise to their misfortunes. Thomas spoke before the council of church boards of education in Washington Tuesday night 'and spoke thus: ‘Five hundred thousand young people who hope to achieve success in life are being sent forth from the schools of this country annually and 400,000 of the mare failures. The young people must be taught to understand what the republic is intended to be. It is generally* believed that the distress and cause of unrest in this country is due to the preachment of the flan-nel-mouthed anarchist from the street corner, but it must be remembered that four but of five of the young people who come from the high schools and colleges are failures. This condition exists partially because it is impossible to teach the Bible in the - public schools.” Mr. Marshall’s chief work as governor of Indiana toward having the Bible taught in the public schools was to give his aid and endorsement to the establihsment of saloons in many counties where they had been Chased out by previous legislation. While our opinion of the vice-president’s philosophy is not very favorable, we attribute the blame party to the practice of rushing a practically untried man into a position of trust, thus suddenly causing an expansion of bis head and a desire to say something to make it appear that his preferment was actually merited. 7 Thomas is not very much for Ipoks, but at that, we believe he is one of those kind of vice-presidents who Should be seen but not heard.

SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR LOUISE FARRIS

Girl Who Assisted Parents in Conducting Matrimonial Bureau Greatly Disappointed. 1 ■Louise Farris, of Princeton, Ind, and her parents, conducted a matrimonial bureau. The girl was the decoy and they used the U. S. mails to decoy prospects and the girl was engaged to about fifty sus-ceptible-fellows at -the same time. When they called at Princeton to see her she would be “out of town” and the parents would try to get some easy money from the nroapects. Unde Sam don’t permit games of this kind to be operated through the mails and the girl and her parents were arrested and haled before the federal court at Indianapolis, All admitted their guilt and were given suspended sentences. Louise felt real bad because the court would not remove the sentence entirely, saying it would be a source of worry to him. Judge Anderson, however, informed her that he would keep an eye on her and that if she again tried to blink at gullible masculines through the U. S. mails he would enforce the sentence. ———~
