ONA B. TALBOT ANNOUNCES THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 14

The Only Appearance in Indiana of the Famous Ellen Terry, In Six ^cenes ami On the Heroines of Shakespeare

With Illustrative Acting— Shubert Murat Theatre.

Hundreds refused entrance to hear Ellen Terry. It was something more than the glamour of the name of Ellen Terry that drew us to the Columbia Theatre yesterday afternoon. It was not a curiositymad crowd, 'boisterously eager to gaze upon a new freak or td feel a new sensation. There was the reverence of pilgrims traveling to a new shrine, in the attitude of that crowd. Hundreds were refused entrance, for the theatre was ovefcrowded long before the appointed hour.

I saw women break down and weep because they could not enter the doors for just a moment to hear the voice of Ellen Terry. They lingered before the theatre hoping to catch just an echo of it through the doors. No religious devotes straining for a sight of sacred relics could be more reverent than those who waited sadly and anxiously for just a glance of Ellen Tewy or just an echo of her voice.—San Francisco Post and Globe, December 2, 1910.

Prices—$2.00, 51.50, $1.00. Special Teacher-Student tickets, 50c ders received now—must be accompanied by check. (Advertisement.)

WONDERFUL MACHINE INSTALLED III BANK

I

Capital State Bank Installs Machine That Posts Ledgers and Prints Statements.

The Capital State Bank, of this city, has installed a wonderful machine to complete its equipment. The machine posts ledgers and prints customers' statements, neatly, quickly and accurately. The machine will save the clerks a great deal of clerical work and at the same time obviate any mistakes. It automatically prints dates, adds old balances and deposits and substracts checks as they are listed, computes and prints new balances and automatically detects overdrafts. The machine is operated by electricity and all the operator has to do is to touch the buttons designating the amounts and further mental effort is eliminated. It can also be used simply as an adding machine. It is intended by the bank that each customer will have his statement rendered at regular intervals, at their request, which will be an

Mail or- advantage to the bank and the customer as well. The use of the machine is said to be a great time saver and improve the appearance of statements and ledger accounts. It is claimed that in large banks 50 per cent of the time is saved by the use of these machines and with no errors to hunt up. The machine was purchased of the Burroughs Adding Machine

Company and is known as the Burroughs adding-substracting machine.

TIE YOUR HORSE OR BE ARRESTED. An order was issued by H. D. Goodwin, superintendent of police, to the patrolmen today to arrest owners or drivers of horses when the horses are found standing on the street untied while the driver is engaged in business and not in a position to exercise control over the animal. The reason for the order was two runaways this morning and the complaint of Henry Siekman, who said he saw both runaways and regarded it as dangerous that such conditions be allowed to exist. There is an ordinance which requires horses be tied either to hitching posts or racks or tethered with a heavy weight While the driver is absent.—Richmond Item.

That His Luck The Latest

Lewis N. Larrabee, former sheriff of Hancock county, and one of the most popular farmers in the county, is one of the luckiest men on earth. If it were to rain dollars, Lute Larrabee without any preparation would get his full share. He has a luckj star that stays with him all the time. _Vo wonder he is an optimist.

A few days ago Lute, or "White Stocking," as he was popularly known when he was a candidate for sheriff, went to the store at Gem, where he purchased a quart of oysters. That evening when his good wife had prepared them in the most approved style for supper, and the husband was eating them and thinking what a fine cook Mrs. Larrabee is, all at once his molars came together on some solid subsstance which he knew, instinctively, he should not eat. An investigation disclosed the fact that it was a very large and valuable pearl. Jewelers tell Mr. Larabee that the gem is worth about 5350. Mr. Larrabee thinks his investment in th£ quart of oysters was very profitable.
