Are Offering Good Wages as Gorn Is
Down—Sent Call to Mayor
for Haids.
The farmers are wanting hands to help take care of their corn crop, which is, in many places, lying flat on the ground. For this reason the work is harder and good prices are offered. One faruler who has a hundred acres or more, contracted with men to gather a part of his crop at 434 cents a bushel. Good wages by the day are being offered and enough hands cannot be secured.
Mayor Myers is receiving calls from farmers for corn gatherers at good prices. Mr. Myers gets nothing out of this, but is- doing it as an accommodation to people who want to work and cannot find it.
There are other places where hands are wanted at this time. One of them is out on the Warrum farm, east of the city, where building is going on and several carpenters are needed ae they want to get the work done as soon as possible.

KILLED LAST BEAR
Pioneer Whose Death Occurred Satur
day Claimed Distinction as
Hunter.
Dr. Robert Smith, whose death occurred Saturday evening and funeral Monday, was one of the early pioneerts of Hancock county. He came here 77 years ago, when woods were practically unmarked by the settlers Hxe and when some wild animals were still roaming at large, Mr. Smith claimed the distinction of having killed the last black bear ever seen in the county. When he was a boy seventeen years old, he with his younger brother was hunting in what is now known as the Brown's Chapel neighborhood.
They located a big black bear and Mr. Smith fought with it. The bear was badly wounded and ran off along the branoh with the young hunter in pursuit. They trailed the bear along the branch and found it dead northeast of where the home of John Sipe is now located. This is the last bear seen or killed in the county, so far as is known and Mr. Smith told of the fight with the huge wild animal with a great deal of pride and was able to draw a vivid word picture of the encounter and its results.

STRONG FEELING AGHINST FRAIS
State Board of Education May Take
Means to Do Away With School
Fraternities.
A special from Indianapolis says— "If a feeling expressed by the members of the state board of education is put into execution, as proposed, high schools of the state that permit high school fraternities and sororities among their students will lose their commissions, which are issued by the board. Because of numerous reports and complaints about such organizations the state board has decided that the question of their existence should be looked into, since they exist in violation of a state law. A committee composed of C. N. Kendall, of this city J. N. Study, of Fort Wayne, and George ,W Tapy, of Crawfordsville, was named to take up the matter with city superintendents and high school principals and report to the state board, which will then decide on what action shall be taken."
BERNHARDT AT INDIANAPOLIS
Comes to English's Opera House Nov. 14—One Performance.
Madame Sarah Bernhardt, who is now filling a two weeks' engagement in Chicago, has returned, if anything younger than ever and with the same golden voice which has charmed her admirers for the past forty years, notwithstanding she celebrated her sixtyseventh birthday at sea only a few days ago while enroute from Paris to New York City.
The Divine Sarah is now making what must surely be her last visit to America, and the only opportunity of ever seeing her again will occur at English's Opera House, Indianapolis, Monday evening, November 14, when she will be seen in three notable characters which have made history for the dramatic world. The bill for the evening will be a composite one and will include the 2nd act from L'Aiglon, the 4th and 5th acts from Camille and the 2nd act from Jeanne d'Arc—a series of characters in which the Bernhardt is prominent througout the civilized world and which give her a range to encompass the masterly art which the ablest critics of the world say no language can express her perfection.
Her recent arrival in New York and its attendant demonstration, as |also Chicago, has never been equalled save by Roosevelt's return after his African trip.
The prices for the Indianapolis engagement will be $3.00 for the lower floor and first four rows in the balcony, balance of balcony $2.00, and gallery reserved, $1.00.
The sale of seats will open at the box office of English's Opera House, Thursday, November 10th at 9 a. m.

V?r
Amusements
At English's.
"The Girl in the Taxi," which has a record of one year in Chicago, and Boston, will be the attraction at English's opera house Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 1.1th and 16th. "Laugh and he world laughs with you" was" evidently the slogan in the mind of the author while writing "The Girl in the Taxi" and the truth of the saying is found in the record-breaking triumphs achieved by this frolicsome play in Chicago, where it ran for six months. Bostou where it repeated its Chicago success, and at the piesent time in all principal cities of the country. "Charley's Aunt" held the palm as the funniest play of the age until "The Girl in the Taxi" putin an appearance.
It has been a universal knowledge that birth coupled with money, regardless of mental capacity, fills the list of society'8 eligibles. In "The Third Degree," which will be seen at English's opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 17, 18 and 19 with a Saturday matinee, Mr. Klein attacks this tradition. The son of a member of an old Knickerbocker set, has married a girl, who, by reason of her strength of character and natural mental force, is as good as any lady in the land, but on account of parentage, causes her husband to be disowned by his father. The youth, not being of strong mental calibre, plunges into dissipation and debt. death, occurring under strange circumstances, causes to be fastened on the boy, the suspicion of having occasioned. Unaided and alone, with no help save that of woman's wit, ingenuity and steadfastness of purpose, and supreme confidence in her husband's innocence, the girl wife wins against such great odds that even the strongest of men would hesitate to overcome. Seldom in the history of the drama has there been recorded a play that embodies the tense and absorbing interest contained in "The Third Degree."
Grand Opera House.
At B. F. Keith's. Grand Opera House, Indianapolis, next week "The Maid of Mystery" will make her first appearance in this section as the big feature of an exceptionally fine bill of vaudeville. Nobody knows just who this "Maid of Mystery" is nor exactly whence she came, for the secret of her identity is preserved inviolate and she is jealously guarded at all times by two stalwart Arabians who accompany her wherever she goes. This was one of the conditions imposed when permission was granted for her to leave her own country for a tour through America. In ancient Greece it was a custom for any girl, who found that her lover was unfaithful, to appear before the statue of Athena a,o Iona and there perform a peculiar and strangely beautiful dance, which she kept up until she fell unconscious from exhaustion and frequently died from its effects. The custom still prevails in some parts of that country. A vaudeville agent touring abroad in seai*ch of novelties chanced to see a performance of the dance and being struck by its beauty and unusual character, finally secured permission for the girl, who has become known as "The Maid of Mystery." to come to this country and appear in the dance under the conditions named above. Everywhere she has appeared thus far "Tne Maid of Mystery" has created a genuine sensation and there is certain to be a great curiounoy hereabouts to seo her.
The rest of the bill will be diverse and unusually interesting, and it is sure to be a big laughing show with such splendid iun makers as The Empire Comedy Four Hanid Alexander Clifford & Burke the comical black face fellows and Paltrey and Barton on the program. There will also be an intensely absorbing dramatic sketch called "The Devil, the Servant and the Man" with Walter McOullough in the leading part. This promises to be a wholly pleasing evening's entertainment from beginning to end.
The First New Corn.
Harold, son of Milo Goodpasture, of. Jackson township, brought to market Tuesday the first load of new corn in the market this season. He is a member of the boys' corn club and raised one acre of fine white corn for whioh he received 40 cents per bushel at the elevator of the New Milling Oo. y.y. Harold is 12 years old, and takes a^bs! deep interest in corn culture.
