There seems to be a general impression that a depression in business, which at this time seems prospective, will reduce the price of farm land in Hancock county. We do not believe that there will be much decline in Hancock county land, no matter what adverse financial conditions may arise. In the first place, Hancock county land is of very superior value second, Hancock county land-owners are in pretty fair financial shape and are not greatly in debt third, the location of the county in the state, and its improvements in the way of roads and railway advantages are such as to make I he land very desirable when offered for sale. These conditions will attract buyers of land to Hancock county at any time when the stringency of money may force some men to sell in order to pay indebtedness. This, with the fact that when money is tight and many kinds of investments are insecure, will always make Hancock county land so desirable that there is not any risk in buying it at present prices. We think it is still as good or better than government bonds. The man who thinks it is not is unnecessarily alarmed.

Supreme Court Refused to Grant Appeal and He Goes to Electric Chair on November 24th.

The Supreme Court of Appeals has refused to grant the petition for a writ of error by Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., convicted of murdering his young wife last July.

This decision on the appeal from the judgment of the Chesterfield, Ya., court, which sentenced him to die in the electric chair jS'ovember 24th, is final. Clemency or reprieve by Governor Mann only can save the condemned man.

B. K. Keith's Theater.

Three women of unusual beauty and great finesse as entertainers will be prominent on the vaudeville bill at B. F. Keith's theater this week in Indianapolis. The featured headliner will be Willa Holt Wakefield,' whose delightful pianologue sludies have established her as a prime favorite in variety as well as in musical comedy. The extra attraction will be the first appearance west of the AUeghenies of M'lle Simone de Beryl, who is described by enthusiastic Parisian journalists as ihe most beautiful woman living. At any rate M'lle de Beryl's beauty is extraordinary and her remarkably daring poses made her a feature at the Fashionable Foles Bergen* in New York for over three months. Another woman of great personal charm as well as of unique talent is Ida O'Day, who, supported by a cast of legitimate players, will offer a rollicking short-comedy, railed "Belt's Bet." "Slivers" Oakley, a famous clown who has dignified his field by the development of remarkable pantomime, will offer a strikingly impressive study of a base ball player, into which a little tinge of pathos is ingeniously woven. Knox Wilson and his company are newcomers here who promise surprises in ent'H.ainment. Gordon and Marx are highly popular German comedians, wlio always keep their material abreast of the times and who manage to differentiate the wdrk sh'arply from that, of a host of other German comedians. Lydeal and Butterworth are known as "the light brown girl and the funny dancer," under which billing they have attained nation-wide reputation for tlieir clever singing, dialogue and jigs. Alburlus, the First, and Jessie

Millar, assisted by "Dollie," have a remarkable combination of fun and originality which they display under the title of "A Scene at the Fair Grounds." Each performance will close with interesting displays of the latest, imported motion pictures.

B. F. Keith's theater will be open Sunday afternoon and evening with interesting programs of motion pictures supplemented by offerings from professional singers and instrumentalists.

Sixty thousand dollars in six weeks! The raising of this large sum in that short time is the tremendous task before the friends of DePauw University—an Indiana institution of higher education which lias a large number of friends in this city and county.

The raising of this amount before January l, 1912, will mean an addition of a half million dollars to the endowment of DePauw. The General Education Board, a group of well known experts in the field of education and finance, having at their disposal the income of an invested fund of $53,000,000, after a careful inquiry into the character and work of the institution, some months ago offered to contribute $100,000 toward a fund of $500,000, the remainder to be raised by the friends of the University before the end of the present year. This entire half million is to be used in maintaining the teaching force of the institution.

From less than 2,000 persons in the State of Indiana $3 50,000 of the necessary $400,000 to complete this fund lias been raised. Only a few weeks remain in which to raise Ihe remainder, and upon Ihe outcome of this effort will depend the success of Ihe movement for the placing of DePauw University upon a higher plane of usefulness to the people of Indiana and of the entire count ry.

It is not believed that I lie appeal for the funds necessary to enable DePauw to realize large opportunities for service to the slate will be made in vain. to church pride as an incentive for the most liberal response to the cry for help which comes from Greencaslle. For nearly seventy-

live years DePauw University has played a large part in the Indiana scheme of higher education. Although founded and maintained under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal church, its doors have been open on equal terms to young men and women of all creeds, and there has never been a lime when the si mien paid any part of the large amount necessary for the compensation of Ihe faculty. The incidental lees paid by students are exhausted in the current expenses for the care and upkeep of buildings and grounds and general administration. The institution has been maintained for three-quarters of a century only by the generosity of the people of Indiana interested in higher education. The raising of a half million dollars would substitute ihe steady income from an endowment fund for the uncerta'n relurns of temporary plans for appealing to the public for assistance.

Those who are pushing the campaign for a large permanent DePauw endowment do not feel that, they are begging, but rather that they are giving to the people of Indiana an opportunity to pay back to the venerable institution at Greencasl le some part of the debt the slate owes to it, this money to be safeguarded for all lime to come as a perpetual source of support for Ihe* teaching force of the University.

Four years are allowed under the terms of the arrangement with the General Election Board for the payment of the pledges made to the

half million endowment fund. Already substantial support has been given from this section of Indiana to the movement, and it is believed that the people of this city and county will do their full share in the remaining weeks of the campaign toward bringing the campaign now in progress to a successful conclusion.

ISO REASON FOR IT

When Greenfield Citizens Show the Way.

There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of serious kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that these ills can be cured. Read what a Greenfield citizen says:

Mrs. M. L. Newhouse, 609 North State street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I have the utmost confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills, having used them with satisfactory results. I was subject to attacks of kidney complaint for five or six years, and recently my condition became worse My back was lame and ached a great deal, and I had other difficulties which proved my kidneys were at fault. On a neighbor's advice, I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Quigley's Drugstore and they proved so beneficial from the first that I continued taking them. The contents of four boxes entirely relieved the pain in my back and restored my kidneys to a normal condition. I know that Doan's Ivdney Pills arc an effective kidney medicine, and am therefore pleased to recommend them."

Mrs. Cynthia Melton, an aged lady who lives on South State street just below the railroad, slipped on a pickle that, had fallen to the floor Saturday evening, and broke her arm between the elbow and wrist joints.

Dr. Earl R. Gibbs was called, and on account of the complicated nature of the break and the lady's age, she was put under the influence of chloroform while the bones were being set. The patient's age makes the injury much more serious than it would be for a young person.

GREENFIELD LOSES I0NSHIP GAME

Brownsburg Won Saturday's Game By Score of 17 to 3—Old Men in Team—Indiana-Illinois Tie

CDORI HOUSE TOWER

Gale of Saturday Night Damaged Big Building—No Lights in Tower Causes Inconvenience.

The gale of Saturday night damaged the court house by blowing out a window in the tower. As the window was blown in the electrical appliances were disarranged and lights refused to work. As a result there has been no lights in the tower to illuminate the face of the clock. There are a great many people who depend on the town clock for the time and they find it very inconvenient when the clock is not running.
