Suit was today filed by S. A. Hays, as attorney for John T. Edwards and Wm. Radford, of Roachdale, against F. E. Foor and others, also of Roachdale, to enjoin them from conducting a skating rink in the hall over the Edwards and Radford business house. The complaint sets forth that F. K. Foor and others are conducting a rink over the store, and that the rink runs afternoons and evenings. It alleges that the noise made by the skates on the hard wood floor above is disagreeable. and damaging to the business of the plaintiffs, and that If the rink continues irreparable injury will be done to the business of said
plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs, therefore, ask for

Manager Larimore received word yesterday morning from Franklin calling off the game to be played Saturday night on the opera house floor. The fact came as a distinct disappointment to both the coach and players and a game with some of the Indianapolis teams was proposed as a substitute. Manager Larimore was there last night in tlie attempt and it is to be hoped that he may secure some good team for a contest. The team is badly in need of games and the Rose Poly contest on Monday night demanded inore practice. The Academy men .were out for work with the varsity yesterday afternoon and in two periods of play were defeated (f to 4 and 13 to 3. The seconds went in at first and did well to hold their own. but the second period saw some brilliant play on the part of Crick, Sheets an'T Grady with the larger score resulting. Tlie preps are working hard after tlie 32 to 29 defeat at Ladoga Saturday night and are expecting to win the Danville High School game Saturday night, which is to be a curtain raiser to the big game.
Robert. John, son of Dr. J. P. D. John of this city, lias been advanced a step in his chosen profession of journalism, and is now the editor of the periodical known as the "Businessmen's Magazine.” The magazine, though new in the field, has already attracted widespread attention because of the ferocioness of the attacks upon tlie present administration, and upon the personalitty of President Roosevelt. The periodical is supposed to lie the organ of the corporations in their fight against the adminstration policy of controlling corporate wealth. If Mr. John's magazine reflects accurately the temper of the forces supposed to be behind tlie publication, then are the “rich manufactors” and owners of “swollen fortunes” indeed angry with the President. Seldom have more ferocious attacks been pharsed more openly. The President is accused of wishing to become king of America, of being responsible for tlie late "flurry,” is pictured as a disturber of business a busy body without definate ideas of reform or of economics, but gifted with an almost superhuman power of interfering with the business of others. Evidentely others besides Foraker still have visions of a third term, the Business Magazine being one of these.
day afternoon. There was an un-
usually large attendance of members and ro,,ed alons
and several visitors. The meeting was full of Interest. Mrs. E. B. Doll and Mrs. Musteu led in fervent
devotions
Tlie address of the afternoon was by Miss Lenore Webb on the recent temperance convention in Indianapolis. The speaker gave her impressions in a clear, easy manner with quiet force and evident care and exactness. She devoted most of the time to a synopsis of the address of C. \V. Trickett, Assistant State Attorney of Kansas, noted throughout the world for his recent great, success in enforcing the prohibition laws of Kansas. Mr. Trickett s speech was not an oration but a plain statement of facts with proof, in themselves so interesting as to cause unbounded enthusiasm in
audience.
He .began against high license. He said, “In principle a state has no right to exact a license from a legitimate business. On the other hand, a state lias no right to license an illegitimate business.” The usual answer is that action on this principal can not be enforced or made permanent; if it could, it would ruin business and perhaps increase crime and immorality by ceasing to regulate them. The speaker answered the objections from his experience Prohibition laws in Kansas had proved a failure. Gov. Hoeh and Mr. Trickett decided that their oaths of office bound them to try again. The place first chosen was Kansas

THIRD ATTEMPT. The Monon got the members of Putnam Ixadge No. 45 I. O. O. F. to Roachdale last evening. The Odd Fellows had made two attempts before this, but each time the Monon was to late for the members to make the trip. After arriving the members were escorted to the Lodge Hall and lodge called to order. The team from Putnam Lodge took charge of the work and conferred the first and second degree on four candidates, after which we were invited to the dining room where a table was filled with all the good things that could be imagined. The rest of the evening was spent in a social way. Several speeches were made by different members of the order. Among the best were the Rev. Airhart of Roachdale I^odge and ex. D. I). Y. M. Walter Alien of Putnam Lodge. The matter of holding a district meeting in the county was also assured by members of both lodges. i 4-v. The party from here consisted of the following: Albert Landes, Leroy Key, Elmer Fuqua, C. H. Meikel, John Friend, Frank Butler, A. P. Fetter, Robert Pierce, Otis Gardner, William Dittemore, Jessie Green, Artie O’Hair, L. C. Robinson, H. M. Jordon, Geo. Reiselng, Walter Allen.
RESOLUTIONS WERE BROKEN
S|m*II of Goodness That lias Held Citizens Since First of the Year Is Shuttered. Two Men in Jail.
The New Year's resolutions, or whatever it was that has held in check the appetites of the men about Greencastle for the past two weeks has given way. Last night two arrests were made for drunkenness, and the jail had its first tennants for several days. In fact only five men have been confined there for sixteen days. The men arrested were Chas. Lamber and Michel Ryan. Both pled guilty to a charge of intoxication, and were fined the usual amount, going to the jail in default of payment. Both stated that they j were out of work and had taken a I few drinks to cheer them up a bit. i The result of the attempt seemed to be unsatisfactory from the appearance of the men this morning.

. .One of the shocking signs of the limes in Republican politics is that the brethern have diverse views on matters of morals as well as politics. We have seen neither note nor comment in the Banner in regard to tlie Republican preacher politician of Kokomo, Rev. Elisha X. Hamilton, who proclaims himself temperance man, and yet declares that he takes a drink when he desires one. He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Prosecuting Attorney. It was not generally known that he was an attorney. as well as preacher, and is acting as a leader in Republican
politics.
He will run upon a temperance i latform, claiming that a man may drink and even visit a saloon with’ut being an intemperate man. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton frequently oc- ■ upies tlie pulpit of the Freemont Street Chapel, where he is a member, and admits that he is in the habit of occasionally using intoxicants. i
