FAMOUS GLEAN-UP CASE TO THE CIRCUIT COURT

Squire Joseph Garrett Sustains Demurrer to Jurisdiction—Also to City as Defendant.

The famous Clean-Up ease came lo a sudden termination on Monday morning as far as the justice court is concerned. It is the case of Lee Brown, Fred Havens and W. S. King vs. David H. Ellis, city treasurer, to compel payment of orders for work last April, when the city employed men and teams to haul oil refuse on Clean-Up day.

The city treasurer refused to pay the orders when presented, on the grounds that he could not legally do so. The men who held the claims brought suit in Squire Garrett's court. The city's attorney entered a demurrer on the ground that the city had done all she could towards the payment of the claims, having allowed them, and issued the orders. The demurrer was sustained. -Samuel J. Offutt, attorney for Mr. Ellis, filed a demurrer to the jurisdiction of the court, alleging that the only course open for the claimants was to file mandamus proceedings in the Circuit Court. This demurrer was also sustained and the plaintiffs' attorney gave notice of an appeal to the Circuit Court.

The Kidelity Mutual Life, has such a history in this communily. The Hull'ord Agency, of 17 years' growth, is building a monument to the benefits of life insurance. And by the way. as the happy Yule Tide, is near it would be well for you lo know, inv uninsured friend, that a. life policy is one of the best gifts that could be bestowed.

Keith's Theater, Week Beginning Dec. 17tli.

Mclntyre and Heath, the internationally famous black face comedians and great local favorites, will be the notable attraction at B. F. Keith's theater.

Porter J. White and his company will offer a stirring short-drama, The Visitor." M. Salerno, doubt the most famous juggler in Europe, will offer a series of remarkable skillful manipulations.

As a special attraction for school children during their Christinas vacation days, Mr. Keith has sent on Foster's Animal Novelty, a tabloid circus presented along unique lines.

B. F. Keith's theater will be open Sunday afternoon with entertainment given by professional singers and instrumentalists, supplemented by the latest imported motion pictures.

"The Pink Lady."

Messrs. Klaw & Erlangcr will present "The Pink Lady," the' greatly talked about musical play, which has been looked forward to with a marked interest, at English's opera house, Indianapolis, for one week, beginning Monday, December 18th. There will be a matinee on Wednesday. as well as the regular Saturday matinee. "The Pink Lady" has taken its position as the greatest musical comedy produced in years. With a rattling good story, full of honest fun, with music that is a delight, an excellent cast., including scores of pretty girls, it is not to be wondered that its success has been so conspicuous. "The Pink Lady" is best described as a happy medium between the better class of musical comedy and opera bouffe, with the fun evolved from the humorous complications of the story. The plot deals with a young Parisien, who is shortly to be married, but who plans one more luncheon of his own. Separately, the couple arrive at the restaurant and incidentally find that a satyr, a

Beau Brummel, whose identity is a

ir future mystery, has kissed all the prettygirls in the neighborhood. The young people meet. The girl is suspicious until the young man's, erstwhile sweetheart, who has just turned up, pretends she is the wife of Dondidier. With alarm, the young man learns that there really is a Dondidier, a respectable antique dealer in Paris, and hitherto had tread the paths of all concerned in the story in the second act. Upon the promise of a rare snuff-box,

Dondidier agrees to act the satyr and get the young man out of his scrape. The complications that follow are immensely funny, as are the novel situations in the final act, a rarely beautiful scene, showing the ball of the Nymphs and Satyrs. "The Pink .Lady" was originally a farce by George Berr and Marcel Guilleman, and it was played for two years in Paris. The English version was made by C. M. S. Mc-! Lellan, author of "Leah Kleschna" and "The Belle of New York," with music by Ivan Caryll, the composer of a score of successful musical plays, including "The Spring Chicken," "The Toreador," and "The Runaway Girl." It is hardly necessary to add that Messrs. Klaw and Erlangcr, following their custom, have furnished a beautiful production for "The Pink Lady." There will be a largely increased orchestra. The curtain will rise at 8:00 o'clock in the evening and 2 o'clock at the matinees, which are popular priced.

Card of Thanks.

We want lo thank the neighbors and friends for their kindness during the sicknes and at the death of our dear wife and sister, and also for the many beautiful flowers., d-w Luther Lamb and Mrs. Loy.

SUCCESSFUL SPECIALIST SAYS

"I want to tell you what BOXANO has done for two of my patients. They used to have so much pain in the hands and feet from acid in the blood, and it is nearly all gone, and I have one little boy that was very weak. I have him drinking it and it is helping him so much. Also another in Danville, Pa., that is getting great good from BOXANO, and I tell all I can about it."

BONANO makes the hot table drink which will do good instead of harm—benefit the health instead of undermining it as does tea and coffee. This is because BONANO, being made from the plup of rich, ripe, fully matured bananas, contains no unconverted starch and no poison or drugs, like caffein or thein found in coffee and tea.

BONANO will not disturb the wTeakest stomach and being made from fruit, will tend to keep the bowels normal and regular. It will not excite the nerves, hence may be drank just, before retiring. In fact, a hot cup before going to bed will induce sleep.

BONANO is packed in cans and sells through grocers at 25 cents. Each can contains enough for seventy-live big cups, so that it is the most economical as well as the best drink.

Buy a can of your grocer today. If your grocer does not carry BONANO, we will send trial package, enough for ten cups, for 2-cent stamp.
