BOY SCOUTS ON A 300-MILE HIKE

Youths Camped at Monticello Wednesday Night—Gave Play to Help Pay Their Expenses. Monticello Journal. ' Between 25 and 30 Boy Scouts from Lizton, Hendricks county, northwest of Indianapolis, camped here over night on their way south from Monon to Indianapolis. They are on a three hundred mile hike and are taking .three weeks for the trip. Coming north they passed through Crawfordvsille, where they visited the home of Lew, Wallace and Wabash (College, and Lafayette, where they visited Purdue university and enjoyed the advantages of the gymnasium. From there they went to Battle Ground, where they camped and attended the camp meeting. Then they proceeded to Monon, where they took the excursion train to Michigan City. They had a special permit from Governor Ralston to visit the penitentiary at that place. Yesterday they left Monon on their return trip and reached Monticello the same evening. They went south this morning, determined to go as far as possible before evening. The boys march in military fashion, headed by a drum corps, and wear modified scout uniform. They have their own- supply wagon an<J tents. From time to time they give a playlet ‘The District Convention," to help with the expenses of the trip. Rev. Hicks, a Methodist minister Qf Lizton, is scout master, and is making this a memorable hike for the boys. The boys have been averaging twenty miles a day even on the first day, but they said on the second and third mornings out they found blisters as big as half dollars on some of their feet. The organization is not a regular Boy Scout band but is modeled on the same lines and will eventually become such.

Rex Theatre Under New Management to Open Saturday.

W. C. Milliron, who recently purchased the Rex Theatre, has been busy getting it in readiness for opening day and has installed 150 new opera chairs, a new electric piano and he expects to give the public more show than they have ever had (before for the money. He will give three reels for 5 cents, which is certainly a big show bargain. His .Operator at the outset is George Fonts, who just moved, here with his parents from Logansport. (Mr. Milliron will start out by using the Universal film service, but the expects to do whatever his patrons want in this respect and If they will let him know what they prefer he will try to please them. The show will open Saturday evening, Aug. 15th. Here’s a Good Chance For Adventure, But Not For Gash. Francesville Tribune.

MONON SURVEYORS AT CROWN POINT

Have Made Four Surveys and May Get Help From Chamber of Commerce of That City. Crown Point Star. Some Monon railroad surveyors, making headquarters here for a few days, have been running different lines for the extension of the Gifford road, and on Tuesday were on a course going toward St. John that crossed the old Lowell dirt road a mile south of the fairgrounds. That is the fourth one run, and if picked upon would be of little benefit to Crown Point. Nothing thus far has been settled on to establish the new part of the road, but it is believed it will be decided in a short time. Should our chamber of commerce members be called upon to assist in getting right-of-way they will willingly do their share if the road comes near enough to our city to derive any benefit, and it’s not probable they will want to miss as good a station as Crown Point will mal?e them.
