ONLY LINE WITHOUT 6RADE CROSSING

Over Belt.

The only interurban line entering Indianapolis which does not have a single grade crossing at its intersections with railroads over its entire route is the Indianapolis & New Castle line, which will start cars about May 1st. The new line will cross the Belt Railroad at Twentieth and Olney streets, and a four and onehalf foot elevation j, is being built at this point.

Other work within the city has been delayed on account of the question arising as to whether the line will go over Twentieth or Nineteenth street. Residents of both streets are clamoring for the tracks, but no decision will be reached until the matter is gone into thoroughly by the officials. A decision is expected Monday. Work on the system is progressing rapidly and the New Castle end of the road is nearing completion.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

MR. EDITOR:—I would like to ask Mr. Love, who has been scoring the farmers so hard, if he ever stopped to think what brought on this mail order fever. There is a cause for the farmers buying at the mail order houses and a good one, too. If you want to stop it, you'li have to go at it in a different way. If you will just think how many starchy shirt fellows we are supporting. If you will notice around the towns at the drummers that swarm in some times with a salary of from §100 to $200 a month with all of their expenses paid. A farmer when he goes to town, goes to a twenty-five cent boarding house and a drummer goes to the best in town, four dollars if he can find it, because his bill is paid by his wholesalesman and it all comes off of the consumer. Don't matter whether he is a farmer or not, he helps to pay these large bills.

I think if half of the stores and all of the drummers were cut out we could buy our groceries much cheaper at home and the farmers could buy at home, and, as you say, keep their money at home. What brought about the mail order houses? Nothing but the high price that the consumer has to buck up against. You know that when anything gets out of reason that some one is going to try to study out some way to furnish the good at a lower price.

The mail order house has no use for a man to run around getting these large salaries. When we buy of the mail order houses we don't have these large salaries and large hotel bills to pay. You know that it is human nature to buy where you can get it the cheapest, and as long as this state of affairs exists it will be done more and more every year.

I think the best way to get at this disease to keep it from spreading any more is to get after the cause, if you will only stop to think there is a cause for this. A READER.

An Ideal Cough Medicine.

"As an ideal cough mebicine I regard Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in a class by itself," says Dr. R. A. Wiltshire, of Gwynneville, Ind. "In fact, ?I know of no other preparation that ^meets so fully the expectations of the f-l most exacting in cases of croup and (X coughs of children. As it contains jt^no opium, chloroform or morphine it certainly makes a most safe1, pleasant and efficacious remedy for the ills intended." For sale by all druggist,

OF RARE PLEASURE

The members of the Loyal Men's Bible Class, of the Christian church, have the lithographs for America's Premier Colored Jubilee Concert Company, which is to appear here under the auspices of the class March 22nd. A glance at the pictures is all that is needed to convince one that the sextette can deliver the goods.

There is no class of entertainers more popular in this city than colored jubilee singers. The Company includes a reader and the program inspires anticipations of an evening of rare enjoyment and causes a feeling of impatience in the wait until the time arrives.

SSM-

SEICHES! DEAD DEATH FOLLOWS IIP LONG ILLNESS

Mrs' Caroline Tague, a Member of the

Pythian Sisters, and of Wide

Acquaintance.

Mrs. Caroline Tague died Saturday morning at 5 o'clock at her home on South State street, after a long sickness. She was the wife of William Tague and the mother of Mrs. John Martin and Miss Arlie Tague.

Funeral at the residence Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. C. E. Line and under the auspices of the Pythian Sisters, of which fraternity the deceased had long been a member.

Mrs. Tague was forty-nine years old and enjoyed a wide acquaintance in this city. The sympathy of the people goes out more than usual to this family because of the condition of the husband, who, more than a year ago, was terribly burned from a coal oil explosion and has ever since been confined to an invalid's chair, the burns refusing to heal. He was for several years the agent for the Adams Express Company in this -city, but his son-in-law, Mr. Martin has cared for the business.

THE' BATTLE OF MOTS

Mrs. C. A. Robinson Ora Moore Lena James Pauline Burk—Beulah Thomas Nellie Richie Hester Garriott

The first three each received a piano Miss clock Miss Thomas, silverware Miss Richie, Miss Garriott, library lamp.

The Reporter's great popular voting contest is now a matter of history. All hat remains is for the ladies mentioned at the top of the col-

The contest closed in a blaze of good humor and enthusiasiam at five o'clock Saturday. Candidates and their friends thronged the office all day long and the contest department was taxed to its utmost handle those who had votes and subscriptions to tnrn in. At five o'clock sharp the ballot box was closed. Great care was taken by the contest department in counting the votes. The successful contestants are named today as the result of the official count.

Bit? Vote Was Cast

The Best of Feeling. During the progress of the entire contest the best of feeling has prevailed. While today's list of winners is quite lengthy there are many other deserving workers who were not fortunate enough to have their names on the final list, but through their individual efforts have made such a record as to deserve great praise. To such the management extends its congratulations and thanks them for their earnestness of purpose and for the work they have accomplished. Now, at last, the contest is closed and it is with pleasure that the final awards are made to the successful and deserving candidates who have been chosen by the public at large to be given the different prizes. The Reporter congratulates the ladies, one and all, hoping that they will enjoy the prizes they have gained to the fullest extent and that they may be come source of continued satisfaction. '':'k All Cou!l Not Win. v'x

It is a fact greatly to be deplored that all could not win one of the prizes, but this is impossible, and there is sympathy in plenty for those who have put in days and hours of hard labor and at the end failed to receive a prize for which they have striven but even then, the work has not all been wasted effort. The honest striving after success, even though the immediate object is not realized, cannot fail to do good. The enthusiasm and energy which is developed is not lost, but reacts on one's character, putting iron into the nerve, encouraging one's confidence, stimulating courage and rousing an honest belief in one's ability to undertake and carry to success any task which presents itself. In addition to that a business experience that she would obtain in no other W- ...

The Belli*fit of tlie'Contest. Every candidate, whether she cares to fight the battle of ballots or not, is better able to fight the battle of daily existence today than she was when she entered the contest. Though she may feel the disappointment keenly, she must realize that facing the world does not seem nearly so formidable a proposition as it did a few weeks ago. Those wtyo aire successful are deserving of c^gratnlations and praiBe. They have jtriven hard,

umn to call and claim their own. All up the voting strength a few votes at the prizes are ready to be turned over a time until the ballots amount high to those who won them by their popularity and industry.

the the

biggest ever polled in a singular contest in this city, and the total of all the votes cast in the entire contest was over 10,000,000. The conditions of the contest were so easy that it proved attractive from the start, and before a week passed many men, women and children were hustling coupons and subscriptions for themselves or their favorite contestants. Atino time from the casting of the first ballot it was possible to pick out the winner, so close was the battle. From time to time many a person took a guess at the possible winners, but the opinion was hardly expressed before another big batch of votes was recorded and their choice was found among the lower ones. Thus it went throughout the whole contest, first one and then the other forged ahead.

and what they have achieved has been largely the result of untiring, unremitting work. Eai-ly and late for five weeks they have been piling

up into the thousands. preciate the prizes a thousand fold more than they would if they had been laid at their feet without any effort on their part, and are better able to appreciate them at something of their own valve.

Business Results.

The great increase in circulation resulting from the contest is all represented in prepaid business, ranging in a minimum of six months to a maximum of ten years' duration. This prepaid business for such lengths of time, means that the Reporter added to its great family of readers many more of the well-to-do, best and most prominent people of Greenfield and the county. The sort of patrons with money, the sort that spends it, and it follows naturally, the sort the advertiser is the most desirous of reaching with his offerings.

The Reporter's fame is an excellent newspaper, because of its setting the pace as a local home newspaper, gathering the news and placing it before the public constantly, and be- tember

cause of its many growing special features, will have the majority of these new subscribers after their present subscription has expired. And, during all the time, all the new friends will be the agencies through which other new friends

be made.

This contest has added hundreds of friends to the Reporter's list, and they, in turn, will attract and interest others.

IS A RIVAL OF TEDDY

David Richey was taken to the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane Saturday. He was declared insane by a commission several weeks ago and placed in the custody of the sheriff until the application for his admission to the hospital was acted upon. In due time this was favorably considered and he was about to be taken to the institution when Richey's fathin it a as or us ings against the sheriff in which he ^olds, Loughs, Croup, and Catarrh re

alleged that David was not insane. On the contrary he was afflicted with epilepsy, and that the suit was brought that he might be placed in the home for epileptics at New Castle.

The evidence was heard by Judge Mason, Edwin T. Glascock appearing for the plaintiff, and Omer S. Jackson as county attorney, for the sheriff. The court denied the writ of habeas corpus and Richey was returned to the sheriff's custody and taken to the hopital.

U. B. REVIVAL CLOSES

The revival at the United Brethren church closed Sunday with a great meeting. A love feast and communion service was held at the morning service. The Elder, Dr. J. T. Roberts, presided and a very touching sermon and service followed. Two united with the church. At the evening service pastor H. W. Robbins preached to a good sized congregation, his subject being "But As For Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord." Four united with the church, making thirty since the meetings began and the church greatly helped. The pastor and his membei's wish to thank the Christian workers from the other churches who gave such valuable service and stood loyal to the great work that was so helpful to all who attended these meetings.

Hancock County Man Who is Having a

De-lightful Time Hunting in the

Northwest Country.

Frank Dunham formerly a resident of this county, living in the Curry's Chapel neighborhood and a son of Henry Dunham, is now at Kalispell, Montana. He writes to his father that he has been very busily engaged in organizing a military company made up of hunters, mountaineers, ranch men, cow boys, and college

They will ap- boys who located in the west. He says there are some great marksmen among the members of his new company. Young Dunham belonged to the Greenfield company of the National Guard and is well known and much esteemed by the Greenfield soldier boys. He has been with the "pride" company of the Second regiment for some time. He hopes to see the new company developed into a "crack" rifle and pistol team before the "national shoot." He has recently qualified as a pistol expert won a beautiful gold medal from the government in recognition of his accomplishments in that line. The soldiers of the old company, to which he formerly belonged will give a reception and ball to the new company, at which time the medals will be presented. It in very probable that Mr.

Dunham will be elected First Lieutenant of the new company. The annual maneuver will be held at America Lake near Seattle, Washington, this year, in July, and the National Shoot at Camp Perry in Sep-

Mr. Dunham has just returned from a big hunting trip in the Rocky mountains in which he says he got his share of the game. He was obliged to undergo much hardship and take much risk in the deep snow through the dense forests and jungles.

For Christmas dinner even Teddy Roosevelt could not boast of greater variety of wild meat. He had trout, venison, bear and buffalo. The most exciting part of Ills hunt was that in which he hunted for lion. He killed two of the ferocious kings of the forest after thrilling adventures to himself and his faithful dog. He had to shoot each one of the animals several times before it was dead. He found both of the lions high in trees, and after he would shoot, them they would jump out of the tree after him.

He is in love with that section of the country and thinks that there are fine opportunities there for making money by investment.
