CANDIDATES' ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sheriff.

James L. Vail, of Vernon township, has authorized the announcement of his name as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Hancock county, subject to the decision of the Republican county convention, hereafter to be held. Your support is earnestly solicited.

James W. Hiday, of Vernon township, authorizes the announcement of his name as a candidate for Sheriff of Hancock county, subject to the decision of the Republican nominating convention to be hereafter held. Your support is respectfully solicited.

Col. Roosevelt made quite a gain in delegates this week, carrying the states of Illinois and Maine.

There is one thing Republicans should ever keep in mind in the contest for the nomination of a party candidate for president, and that is that the contest is between the voters of the same party.

Only fair and honest methods should be used in any political contest—even between different parties, but it. is much more imperative when the contest is between men of the same party. Dishonest methods in conventions and elections is the direct fore-runner of dishonest candidates, dishonest officers and dishonest administrations

The farmers are now busy sowing oats and breaking ground for corn. Their work has been deferred so long that they will work double force and double time until they get their crops planted. There will be big crops of oats and corn put out. Much of the wheat looks like it would not make a crop, so the ground will probably be put in oats or corn.

"They say'' a temperance plank in the Republican State Platform means defeat at election. If we had control of the state convention we would chance a good strong county local option plank even if it did mean defeat. The discussion of the question would do much good. In these times of peculiar political conditions there is only one thing for men and parties to do, and that is to be politically right. It is not difficult to make mistakes anybody or any party can do that but it is often perplexing to know just what is right, and it takes courage to stand up for the right.

The Democrats are usin.- considerable care in the selection of a candidate for Joint Senator for the district composed of Rush, Fayette and Hancock counties. They have a large field of candidates. Hancock county has three men who are mentioned. They are I)r. Collins, of Mohawk Mr. Eikman, of New Palestine, and Sylvester Meek, of Route3. The names of Carey Jackson and Lon Mull, of Rush couniy, are often heard in that connection. Some Hancock county Democrats say Rush county is entitled to the nomination. Both men mentioned from Rush county have carried that county for the lower house of the Legislature heretofore. The district is Republican and the Democrats are figuring that if they could carry Rush county they might have some hopes of carrying the district, as they hope to offset- Fayette county's Republican majority, with Hancock county's Democratic majority. There is a United States Senator to be elected in two years, .. and the Senator elected from this district this fall will vote for that

Unied States Senator. That fact makes he race very interesting^

Good Market for Mules. A letter from W. A. Brown, of Connersville, to W. J. Halsall, in regard to the car load of weanling mules, sired by King Edward, Mr. Brown bought here last fall, he states they all wintered fine and that he could exchange them now at a profit of $55 per head. The price he paid last fall was from $75 to $122 a head. Mr. Brown will be in Greenfield about November 5th for another car load.

Shubert Murat Theater. A stage version, of "Little Women," Louisa M. Alcott's immortal story, which has been made by Marian de Forest, magazine writer and dramatic critic and produced by Wm. A. Brady, will be the attraction at the Subert- Murat for five nights, starting Tuesday, April 16. Beginning Wednesday, daily matinees will be given. "Little Women," the play, is in reality "Little Women," the book, made into a character comedy in four acts and two scenes, which tell the familiar story of the March girls, Meg, Joe, Beth and Amy, and all those concerned in the development of that story Laurrie, handsome and debonair Prof. Bhaer Mr. and Mrs. March old Hannah, who grumbles so much that no one else has a chance old Mr. Laurence and Aunt, March, the crochety family scold. Furthermore, the story of "Little Women'1 is really the story of Louisa M. Alcott and her three sisters. Miss Alcott is the original of Jo Meg is Anna Alcott, her older sister Beth is Elizabeth Alcott, whose death in girlhood cast a heavy shadow over Louisa. Amy March is May Alcott, and the story of her artistic hopes and dreams is true to life, just as is the account of Jo's endeavors to win fame and fortune through the efforts of her pen, a dream that she lived to see come true in most abundant measure.

Ever since the announcement that William A. Brady was to produce Miss de Forest's play, his office has been overwhelmed with inquiries, and the managers all over the country have been clamoring for bookings. But Mr. Brady decided to give Indianapolis an early date. It took eight years of persistent endeavor to secure the consent of Miss Alcott's heirs to having the story made into a play. Permission was finally secured by Miss Jessie Bonstelle and the work of dramatization was given to Miss de Forest. It is idle at this time to recount the difficulties encountered and overcome, the delays, the disappointments, but the reward came when the Alcott family formally accepted the play, and the necessary contracts were signed. Then began the detail work, securing the proper stage effects and costumes (for "Little Women" is dressed in the quaint style of the early '60"s), and above all, finding a company of players to adequately interpret the simple familiar characters.

B. F. Keith's Theater. Before sailing for Europe to spend the summer, Miss Amelia Bingham, the distinguished emotional actress, has accepted a short contract for four weeks in vaudeville, and a local management of B. F. Keith's theater, Indianapolis, has been fortunate enough to secure Miss Bingham as headliner next week owing to confusion of bookings, as the actress's vaudeville engagements were to be played exclusively in the East, according to the original schedule. ,As a novelty offering Miss Bingham will offer "Big Moments from Great Plays" leaving the determination of her reportory to patrons of Keith's theater who may/request any of the big scenes from dramatic masterpieces with which Miss Bingham has become identified. She will be supported by the following players as principals: Beth Franklin, John W. Lott and Lloyd Bingham.

A special attraction for children will be offered in Herbert's Animal Circus. Cunningham & Marion in "An Acrobatic Talkfest," will close the show1.
