A VERY PLEASANT EVENING

Can be Spent toy Attending the "Weestrick Skule," Thursday, May «nd.

On the above date our people will have the opportunity of attending one of the best entertainments of the season—"Si Plunkard" not excepted. The Endeavor Society^of the Christian church, assisted by some of our best local talent, are arranging to give the "Deestrick Skule" at the Opera House on that evening. The proceeds are^for the beuefit of the new Christiau church and the great battleship, "Indiana." While a few persons are "kicking" against donating any of the proceeds]to the "Indiana," tl:e majority of the'people are heartily in favor of it. Why? Because they feel a great honor has been conferred on our State by naming this ."ship after her, and they are ready and willing to contribute to it.

Those who have the entertainment in charge promise a grand time. Besides the "skule" a short musical program will be given. Prof. Lee O. Harris will be "skule marster." As he has had many years' experience injteaching, we guarantee a first-class "skule."

The prices have- been put within the reach of all—10 and 20 cents. Watch for full enst and program.

Douglas Hamilton Kilied by tlie Cars,

Tne family of M. W. Hamilton received a letter from a Mexican railroad company Friday, informing them of the death of Mr. Hamilton's son Douglas. He had been with the company for some time and was highly valued by them as an employee, but recently took a lay-off on account of sickness and went to a Hot Springs resort for the benefit of his health. April 1 he was returning on a freight train to his work. In some way, which the letter does not state, he fell and two cars passed over him, killing him instantly, as his head was cut off. It is indeed a sad and deplorable affair, and the family have the sympathy of many friends. His father is absent in Missouri. Douglas was a brother of Clinton Hamilton, of Cincinnati, and a half brother to Misses Jessie and Maud and Gus Hamilton, who are still at home. He has boen absent in the West for a number of years and his whereabouts unknown until his death. The railroad company were not sure that the family here were his nearest relatives, but wrote here on that supposition.

Now that we have water works there is no reason why our city should not be made more beautiful. Let all citizens take a just and proper pride in beautifying their premises as mnch as possible. It will not only be a source of delight and pleasure to themselves and their families, but to all citizens who enjoy the beautiful.

Below we publish a letter from the Indianapolis News which explains itself. EDITORIAL ROOMS INDIANAPOLIS NEWS.

Indianapolis, Ind., April 1895.

W. S. Montgomery, Greenfield, Ind. Dear Sir:—The News, as you are aware, has undertaken to secure a popular subscription sufficient to present a handsome silver service and an appropriate library to the battleship "Indiana." So far something more than $2,500 has been subscribed. If Indiana's gift is to compare favorably with the gifts of other States to battleships named in their honor, we should have a sum of about $8,00, The General Assembly directed that $2,000 be given to the fund from the State treasury when $6,000 shall have been raised by popular contributions. There remains to raise, therefore, about $3,500.

We believe that the people all over the State will be glad to contribute to this fund if the subject is called to their attention. We shall be obliged to you if you will circulate the enclosed subscription list in your neighborhood and present the merits of the case. We believe that, with a little effort, you can get many subscriptions. No matter how small the amounts may be. "Many a mite makes a muckle," and the more subscriptions there are, the more truly the gift to the warship will be an expression of State pride.

Please to give the matter attention at once. Send in your list as soon as possible with the money, when the names and amounts •will be published in the News.

Yours very truly,

THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS. Chas. R. Williams, Editor.

The armament consists of four 13-inch rifles, three 8inch rifles, four 6 inch rifles, twenty 6pound rapid fire guns, four 1-pound rapid firing guns and four Gatling guns. The heaviest guns, which are the heaviest ever placed upon a man-of-war on this side of the Atlantic, are in the turrets. The other guns are in a superstructure between the turrets, and on the main decks. The 13-inch guns are 17% feet above the water line the 8 inch guns are 25 feet above the water line and are high enough to fire over the turrets. The ship has in addition six torpedo tudes. The engines are of the twin screw type. The normal coal supply is 400 tons, but there is a coal bunker capacity of 1800 tons.

The crew will consist of 475 persons, officers and men. All the latest sanitary improvements will be installed to insure officiency and thoroughness in lighting, ventilating and draining the quarters and accommodations provided.

The "Indiana" will be the most powerful war ship of the new navy and the equal of any war ship of the world. Our State is highly honored that this ship bears her name. Now let the grand old Hoosier State respond readily and quickly in raising the desired funds for the silver service and the library. Thursday, May 2nd, by attending the Deestrht Skule at Masonic Hall, you can assist in this contribution, as a part of the proceeds will go to the battle-ship fund, and the rest for the benefit of the new Christian church, which will be erected this summer. Attend the Deestrict Skule and if you prefer to give direct we should be glad to have you do so. The Indianapolis News has sent the REPUBLICAN a subscription blank and we should be glad to have our citizens call and subscribe or send their names in to the REPUBLICAN office. The names of all donors will be inscribed in a book which will accompany the gift.

As soon as the required sum is approximately reached a committee will be named to choose designs for the gifts and to carry the plan to completion. The News will receive account for arid publish an acknowledgement of all sums sent to it, and will give due notice of the appointment of the proposed committee.

Give. Give for the honor of Indiana, also for the honor of Greenfield and Hancock county, the home of the "Hoosier Poet."

At the reading of one of Aldrich's poems in which reference was made to chocolate and wafers, those articles were very appropriately served, and each guest was presented with a handsome rose Hud. At the conclusion of the program ices and cake were served. The ladies are loud in their praise of the charming manner in which they were entertained by Mrs. Binford.
