THE NEWS AS A BOSS.

1

'.IT would seem that party spirit in Indiana was waning •when it is noted that neither of the leading" political parties have a state organ. The Journal, the Republican organ was the first to go, then the Sentinel "spassed away leaving the Democrats without a state paper.

In their stead now the Indianapolis News, Star and Sun, all said to be independent politically, are being read. It is not sur prising that Democrats and Re publicans are uot satisfied with the conditions. There is much complaint. The Republicans say that the mugwump News is attempting to nominate a Republican ticket of its own liking. A few weeks hence, it will be attempting to perform the same act for the Democratic party. There have been party bosses in the past in Indiana, but should the News succeed in it evident ambition it will be a political boss such as has never been known in the state. i' How far the politico:! parties will allow such tyranny to run remains to be seen.

The energy which is being shown by the Rev. J. R. Moody, pastor of the M. P. church, in pushing forward the work of preparing for the coming session of the annual conference, which is to be held here in August, is very commendable and our people appreciate what lie is doing.

The iLdncock County Republicans say that the Indianapolis News is against Elmer E. Stoner's nomination because John C. Billheimer furnished that paper with a scoop on its competitors in the Sherrickcase.

E. W. ROSE MEDICINE CO., St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sirs :—It is a source of pleasure for me to permit you to use my picture before and after cured by "ZEMO," and to tell what "ZEMO" did for me. I doctored this case of (Acne) pimples for six years and spent se%reral hundred dollars with physicians and specialists. The more salves and creams I used, the worse my face became. Mr. Ira Blackman recommended "ZEMO." Eight bottles entirely cured me, and I honestly believe n, "ZEMO" is the best remedy in the world for any skin disease. Yours very truly,

Members of Military Company Receive Sood News.

The members of Company M. Indiana National Guard, are more than pleased to receive notice from headquarters that their report of loss of property has been approved. '.While every precaution- fis taken to keep the properties of the company together and in good condition something is all the time disappearing and nearly a year ago quite a good sized loss was necessarily reported to the higher officials. Kit is "a custom to keep the value of these goods out of the pay of the men until the loss is decided to have been unavoidable. A remarkable fact too, is that this is kept out of every pay roll and the members keep paying over and over again for these articles. The company is paid for drills and every six months about $600 is divided among the members.

Last October pay was short the value of the articles and the same shortage was anticipated in the pay roll of this month, when the report was received. Now they will receive the full amount and the members are released from the responsibilty for the loss of the property. The company is in splendid con. dition at present and is in charge of Mr. Fred Bidgood, the compary's clerk, who by the way, keeps a set of books that is flawless and has received commendation of the U. S. Army inspectors. Lieutenant Atherton, who is now in a military school in Ohio, will be promoted to captain, C. A. Barnes, who held that position so long, having resigned. Lieutenant Atherton is one of the best qualified military men in the country and will be a wonderful strength to his company. A destribution of new properties has just been made to all the militia, officers® receiving the the latest colt revolvers 38 calibre with a barrel nine inches long. Another new idea is the issuing to the men of an emergency outfit of bandages, etc., to be used in case of accident. The members of the company are all sterling young men, who will be pleased at any time with a visit of citizens to their splendidly equipped armory in Hinchman's block.

William W. Gregg, of Spiceland, was in Greenfield today. He formerly resided in Brown township, where he was a popular teacher for several years. He rs the general organizer of the Benevolent Order of Buffaloes. He is an old friend of County Auditior William I. Garriott.

O. N. Garriott and wife will spend Sunday with Jesse W. Orr of Knightstown.

The coming of the Indiana Conference of the Methodist Protestant church to this city in August calls to mind the fact that during the three years of the pastorate of the Rev. J. R. Moody the church has enjoyed a period of prosperity never equalled in its previous history.

Three years ago the church at this place was a part of the Morristown circuit, in there were three othere where services were held. Moreover, there was quite an old debt still hanging over the church property and the parsonage was in a neglected condition.

Since then the entire church debt has been paid off, the church has been beautified and modernized in many ways and the parsonage has been made over until it is as pleasant a home shelter as there is in the city.

This church has been made a station and still the Morristown circuit remains in tact and in good condition with its three places of preaching. ,j:

Not only has all the church debt been cancelled, but all incidental expenses and salaries have been paid in full and the congregation stands at the threshold of the beginning of the last quarter of the year- with a body that numbers more than 500 and an attendance upon all the services that is encouraging in the extreme.

The various societies that are conducted under the auspices of and in the interest of the church are all in splendid condition, and everybody is working in harmony with the pastor to hold all the church has and gain all it can.

The influence of the Greenfield charge in the Indiana conference can be best appreciated when it is known that the efforts to secure the coming annual conference for this place were looked upon with favor from the beginning", and now that the community is to be honored with this important event it behooves our citizens to show that friendly courtesy that is always due from one true christian to another and help make the event an unqualified success.

Some farmers have begun to sow oats. A marriage license was issued today to Prank O. Eastes and Maude P. Grigsby.

The Masons will confer the Tmrd degree tonight on Rolla Holycross, of Indianapolis, who formerly lived in this city.

Mrs. Marshall Crider, of New Castle, has been the guest of her father, John Frost, and Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Leech for a-few days. Her husband will arrive this evening and they will return to their home Sunday evening.

OLD SCRIBE SKETCHES-

Birds are singing as though they would split their little throats, lambs are gamboling in the pastures, the frogs in the ponds have started up to a veritable chatter that "sizzles" in your ears, a few broods of young chickens are seen, here and there, the steady motion of the seed sower as he crosses the field, a few crocuses by the tree roots, the spading of the lettuce patch, the budding of the maple and a thousand little voices of nature indicate that the gentle maiden is arousing from her slumbers, rubbing her eyes and yawning preparatory to an ab. lution in the rain drops and the dews ot the morning, when she will clap her hands for joy and all nature will have awakened al most in the twinkling of an eye.

Think of it, March 81st throwing snow, sleet, and spiteful north winds in our face, and April 1st, a beautiful spring day with the aspect of the entire disappearance of winter. In three dsys this "presto" has occurred and even the memory of March is almost effaced by the wonderful transformation wrought in so brief a time.

Even the lolling of the guests and invalids in the sunshine at the Spiceland sanitarium, and the pleased and relieved look on their faces indicated the presence oi gentle springtime just as plain as plain could be. The cooing of the turtle dove, and the barking of the numerous pet squirrels in the old elm that grows near the sanitarium, showed what "old Sol-" could do when he tried.

Speaking of a "spring tonic," spring is a tonic itself, and this with the able and efficient as sistances of the many appliances with which nature has favored this institution, soon dispe's the aches and pains to which the human family is heir.

This health resort is becoming one of the foremost of the country, in that the beautiful clear springs of water are unexcelled in their mediciual qualities, as well as the mineral mud so effective in the cure of rtieuma tism and kindred diseases.

The writer was a guest of the management Tuesday, lunching with them and enjoying their hospitality generally. I met many guests from all over the country,, and other states are sending their .representatives all of whom are loud in their praises of the Spiceland sani tarium and the management, as well as the physicians connected there with Dr. L.Fussell is well known to many of our readers. He is assistant to the institution having given up most of his large and lucratrive practice so that he can better meet the demands of those in their care. He is associated with Dr. E. E. Kirk a physician of recognized ability, and together with Prank Bundy they compose the ownership. The fame of the place is thus being spread abroad, and though the buildings are large and commodious it will need some additions before Ion,*

Mr. Bundy is a moving spirit about the place, a jolly host, a genial fellow, a good citizen, well and favorably known throughout this whole section. He looks to all the details, and is on hand when wanted. He is a good entertainer, a hearty eater, and judging from the physical .appearance and pleased expression of the guests that seated themselves in the dining room, one would take the digestion of all to be good and the food always as appropriate and wholesome as was served on that day. 0

Mrs. Fussell has been poorly for some time. She is a sister of Dr. Justice of this city. Mrs. Ella Bundy is in charge of an

[institution at Spiceland that is of

to be the dead lock type. I as great importance as anything

of the kind can be. She has charge of the orphans home, composed of Henry and Rush counties, and the manner in which she cares for them would cause one to take off his hat to this noble woman whose work is having its fruitage in the bright young men and women, who though formerly homeless, have grown up useful oranments, under the fostering care of Mrs. Bundy. In the language of one who was speaking of it, "she beds, boards, clothes, educates, and loves" the children at 2&c per capita per day.

It seems to me that as Hancock county has no such advantages for her homeless orphans that our honorable board of commissioners would have done well to have accepted the proposition it is said was offered them to become a party to this transaction. It certainly would have been a little money well spent had Hancock county been in on this deal. The grand old Spiceland academy is always accessible, and no better educational advantages could be offered them anywhere.

I met Mr. Kirkwood who is a patient at the sanitarium. He is a congenial spirit, formerly editor of the Muncie Democrat. He is a zealous advocate of Bryan's philosophy, of Bryan's diplomacy, of Bryan's wisdom, of Bryan democracy, in fact an out and out Bryanite and of course a good man.

OLD SCRIBE.

Grand Opera House, Indianapolis.

There will be an array of vaudeville talent at the Grand next week that will come in for a great deal of attention from all amusement seekers who enjoy good amusement. The new program appears to be highclass in every respect. There will be two head-line attractions —the Eight Allisons, a wonderful troupe of acrobats and gymnasts, and Harry Corson Clarke and Company in the one-act comedy, "Strateg}?-."

It has been two years or more since the Eight Allisons were last seen at the Grand, and since that time they have been creating something of a sensation in the European vaudeville theaters. They will give tlieir marvelous performance as the conculding number of the program, and will doubtless be much talked about during the week, as the Grand has not had another such exhibition as-theirs during the present season.

Harry Corson Clarke, a comedian who is recognized as one of the best of fun-makers, will divide the honors of the program with the great Allison Troupe. He has the assistance of Margaret Dale Owen, a capable actress, and several other excellent players from the legitimate stage in the presentation of his one-act comedy. This will be his first appearance at the Grand.

The greatest novelty of the new show will be Baron's Burlesque Menagerie—an animal act that has been making a hit everywhere. Most of Mr. Bar on's animals are cats, although he has some clever little dogs in his troupe. The animals are "made up" to resember lions, tigers, elephants and other beasts, and the antics which they perform are exceedingly comical. Libbey and Trayer, the well-known singing comedians, will have anew musical sketch to contribute, and another interesting feature of the bill will be the specialty of Eleanor Palk, the charming little singer and dancer. J. Prancis Dooley and his "show girls," in a new and original act Pal, Coley and Pay, in a clever specialty of a novel nature, and Madame Romano, an artist from the European stage, will be the other participants in the program, and the bioseope will display a series of interesting new motion pictures as the concluding number of the bill.
