Everybody is going to see “A Wise Woman” at Ellis opera house to-night. Come in and carry away a bundle of those old papers for a nickel; they are just the thing for putting on shelves, under carpets, etc. The appellants’ brief in the Iroquois ditch case was filed in the supreme court Tuesday. The ap-< r Plants’ brief in the case of Frank isher vs. J. G. Perry was also filed Tuesday. Appellants' brief in the case of Wm. H. Randle, administrator, vs Samuel W. English was filed in the appellate court Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Simon Kenton bf near Surrey.met with a runaway accident while coming to town Wednesday afternoon. Their horse became frightened near the Monon crossing, east of W. S. Coen's residence, and started to run.

N Mr. Ora Watts of Indianapolis, and Miss Sylvia Potts were married at the home of the bride’s parents. Mr. and Mrs. Larkin Potts, in the northwest part of town, last Sunday at 12:30 o’clock, Rev. A. L. Ward of the Christian church officiating. The young couple went to Ijidiknapolis on the 1:45 train the same day where they will reside. The Democrat extends congratulations.

The petitioners in the old Iroquois ditch case have our thanks for a copy of the brief in their appeal to the supreme court. The document is very voluminous, containing 93 printed pages. The brief was prepared, we understand, under the supervision of Judge Thompson, who was the chief petitioner in the case and who is also most affected by the decision of the lower court, that the petitioners must pay the costs incurred, some $3,500.

A company of American artists beaded by Miss Marie Lamour presenting a comedy of American Authorship, which however received its initial production at the Strand theatre, London, will be the attraction at the Ellis opera house to-night (Saturday) May 18. The play referred to is Wilfoid Clarke’s brilliant comedy, “A Wise Woman,” and its presentation in this country has so far proven a duplicate of its success in the British metropolis This piece held the boards of the Strand theatre for nearly 250 nights to capacity business, aud this fact alone would seem to be an unanswerable argument of success. Miss Lamour, the charming comedienne, who is being featured in the title role of “A Wise Woman” was recruited from the brilliant corps of players at Daly's New York theatre, and the faith that was placed in her ability to make a success in a stellar capacity has so far been more than justfied by the results. The best evidence of this is that, not only do the critics praise her. but tremendously large audiences have greeted her almost every night of the season.
