Hough, a very popular member «of the club, and Riley McKown followed with some brilliant "historical events," as did Captain Henry Snow, one of the charter members of the club. Samuel J. Offutt contributed to the entertainmeat-ut the way of oratory in a very masterly manner, as did others, who assisted in rendering the affair a most enjoyable and successful one.

The membership quota is filled, the limited number of members being one hundred. The members represent the leading business and professional men of the city.cAs •entertainers those who were sufficiently fortunate to be present last night will vouch for a most excellent recommendation.

The officers elected were as follows: Riley McKown, president Thomas Morgan, secretary treasurer Wood L. Walker, Morgan Andrick and Herbert E. Leech: .constitute the board'of directors, to*gether with the other officials who will officiate in this capacity.

COL. E. P.W E IT

Is a Heavy Stockholder in An Irrigation Enterprise Under Way Near Prescott, Ariz.—EM-.. gineers Now at Work

The following article concerning •a former Greenfield citizen, published in the Arizona Gazette./ of Phoenix, will be of interest to local people: "Accompanied by Gen. M. L. Holman and Col. John A. Lairdt consulting engineers of the. 'firm of Holman & Laird, of St. Louis, Col. E. P. Thayer, of Indianapolis,^assistant sergeant-at.-arms of ,J,hc Republican national committee, and one of the leading politicians of the

Hoosier state, is a visitor in J,he city today. ,,..,,, •.• ,. "The three distinguished ..-visitors arrived in,the city last evening..Col. Thayer is a heavy stockholder in Sthe Arizona Irrigated Land,- ClQmr pany which has a project,., near Prescott, and- the two engineers, made the trip to Arizona to examine the irrigation scheme. As..announced heretofore, the waters ,of Willow, Granite and Lynx creeks, of Yavapai county, are to .be impounded in a reservoir. "Col. Thayer is well remembered ^,by the prominent part he took in the Republican National convention at Chicago in June. As assistant sergeant-at-arms of the national committee, he had charge of the ^arrangements for the big session. 'He was lined up with the standpat -h element. "Following the convention, Col.

Thayer returned to his home in P, the Hoosier state and assisted in conducting a warm campaign. For'^me Senator A. J. Beveridge was f^'-the progressive candidate for gov^v«rnor. Speaking of the political ^situation in Indiana today, Colonel

Thayer said: "Out of the 100 members of the Indiana Legislature only two are Republicans and one progressive. The rest are' Democrats. Heretofore the Republicans had control. All thirteen of the Indiana congressmen are Democrats. The only Republicans in the State Senate are the hold-over members. Only two county officials were elected by any other than the Democratic ticket. One of these was recorder of Grant county.* "Col. Thayer and guests will leave

'I'W-'

the city tomorrow. The three are delighted with the fine winter climate, and stated today that Phoenix is one of the best cities they have seen in the West."

ENGLISH'S OPERA HOUSE WEEK OF JANUARY 13TR

.*" "The Rose Maid." The story of "The Rose Maid," which begins a week's engagement at English's opera house, Indianapolis, Monday night, January 13th, is a pretty romance as well a3 a satire on foreign titled paupers who plan

girls in order to recoup their expended fortunes. The youthful Duke of Barchester is a noble spendthrift, whose debts amount to a million. A half dozen heiresses are ready to take him in hand when the little rose girl, an acquaintance of his youth, steps in and complicates the plot. A coterie of money lenders figure as the comedians, and the story of the play concerns their attempt to marry tbe duke to a wealthy American girl, while all the time his heart is being entangled in a web of love woven by the faithful little rose maid.

The cast is a notable one. As the rose maid, Mizzie Hajos, one of the youngest prima donnas on the stage, is featured. Other principals include Mile Mana Zucca, an Italian song bird Edith Decker, R. E. Graham, Al Shehan, Arthur Clough, May Emory, Millie Murray and Oscar R&gland.

There will be matinee performances of "The Rose Maid" Wednesday, and Saturday. One of the many features of the play is the "kute kiddies," who make their appearance in "The Happy Family" song.

According to a Washington dispatch, Col. William Jennings Bryan has given out the information that he has accepted a place in the cabinet of president-elect Wilson, as Secretary of State.

OH INDIANA FARMS

Will Be the Slogan and Burden of Instructions At the Coining Short Course At Pursue University. ...

"More Live Stock for Indiana" will be the slogan that will be put before the visiting student farmers at the forthcoming Farmers' Short Courses at Purdue University, January 13-18, 1913. In all the classes of live stock judging which will be held daily at the great live stock judging pavilion, the above slogan will be uppermost throughout the judging and the accompanying discussion. The Animal Husbandry Department believes that in the realization of the thought set forth in the above, lies the secret of permanently profitable agriculture in Indiana.

Not only will the thought center on the subject of more live stock, but the necessity of improving the quality of the stock will also be emphasized. With the Purdue stock for demonstration material, the instructors will seek to point out to the farmers in attendance some of the things which the Indiana farmer should 6eek to accomplish upon his farm in the way of live stock production, and will instruct them in some of the ways of producing improved live stock. Discussions of breeding, feeding, sanitation and live stock management will accompany and supplement the live stock judging class work. Some of the most recent experimental feeding work that has been done at the station will be reported during the week. Classes for beginners and for more advanced work will be held daily, and a special class has been arranged to care for the boys in attendance.

JURY FOREMAN RECEIVES'-^ 7r THREAT THROUGH MAIL.

Frank Dare, of New Lisbon, Jnd., Foreman of Jury in Dynamite Case Gets Chicago Letter.

Frank Dare, of New Lisbon, Tnd., who was foreman of the jury thai convicted 38 dynamiters in Federal Court, has been threatened by some one in Chicago, who wrote, without signing a name, the following letter: "Chicago, 111., Dec. 29, i9\2. "Mr. Frank Dare, New Lisbon, Tnd. "Sir—This is to inform you that you will be planted under the sod within the next three weeks."

Mr. Dare took the letter to the Henry county prosecutor, and they will lay the matter before the Federal authorities at Indianapolis. The penalty under the United States statutes for writing or sending this kind of a letter is very severe. The case naturally comes under the jurisdiction of the Federal Court, and when that body acts something is usually accomplished, as was shown quite recently. Mr. Dare, it is said, has but little concern as to the threat against his life.

Bakery Changes Hands. Fred Couden has sold his bakery on North State street to Joseph Lewis, who took charge today. Mr. Couden came here about a year ago and started the bakery.

MORTGAGE IS PHD BAPTISTS REJOICE

All Day New Year Meeting, Served Rig Dinner Elders John and Harvey Dailey Preached—

Out-of-Town Guests.

The members of the Baptist church of this city, of which Elder Robert W. Thompson is pastor, spent New Years day in an all-day meeting, rejoicing over the fact that the church indebtedness was all paid and the mortgage and note in the hands of the trustees. The proceedings were in the nature of a surprise for the pastor, who knew of the plans for meeting and the dinner, but he had not been told of the lifting of the mortgage, and he was the happiest man of the happy group when the canceled note and mortgage, together with a snug sum of money which the good people of the church had generously donated, were turned over to him.

There were people in attendance from Greenfield, Fortville, Indianapolis and Crawfordsville. Elder John R. Dailey and his son, Elder J. Harvey Dailey, of Indianapolis, were present and preached morning and afternoon. At noon a long table was constructed in the church and it was loaded down with all the good things of the season, and the company spent a happy social hour while sampling the bounteous feast.

He leaves a wife, three children, five brothers and two sisters and a great host of acquaintances.—Morristown Sun.

Charges Abandonment. Helen New has filed suit for a divorce from Frederick W. New, alleging that he abandoned her and their infant in March, 1911, and since that time has contributed nothing towards their support, and that his present whereabouts are unknown to her.'

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Cleveland, of Lafayette, have returned from a visit with relatives at Fairmount, and will spend a few days here with relatives before returning home.
