Even in a sbam fight the British lost a torpedo boat; is it any wonder that they suffered when they went up against the real thing in South Africa? , _ The plea that the tariff should be removed from trust made articles is met by the reply that to do so “■would disturb business.” Undoubtedly it would disturb the trust business—and why shouldn’t that business he disturbed? Uncle Sam is to be congratulated; the profits on the Filipino trade have so risen that they are now almost one per cent of the cost of managing the islands. After a while it is hoped that they may increase to two per cent. The lowa Repulicaiiß have certainly mastered the art of riding at once two horses going in opposite directions. In their recent platform, they endorse the Dingley bill unqualifiedly and then pronounce for its immediate revision. Good for lowa. The democrats of Wood county, Ohio, by a voto of 45 to 54 refused to endorse the “Ohio platform,” and did endorse the Kansas City platform. Wood county cast 13,184 votes in the electiou of 1900, 5,752 of which were democratic. Will the Indianapolis Sentinel editor please take notice? Great Britain’s total expenses for the last fiscal year, including •those of the war, were only a few million over one billion dollars, —not quite so much as those of the United States with only a little picnic in the Philippines in progress. But, then, the Republican party isn’t in charge of the finances in Great Britiau What presumption it is for the Knights of Labor to try to compel Attorney General Knox to execute his sworn duty and prosecute the Steel Trust! Do not the Knights know that Mr. Knox drew the articles under which the Steel Trust was incorporated and that he was chosen for his present post by the influence of the Steel Trust? How can they ask him to prove treacherous to it. It’s nil very well for the goverment to declare that it can not convince Neeley because it cannot compel witnesses to go to Havana. The fact is that outside witnesses would merely lend corroborative detail the real evidence against him is hr Havana in the post offict However the goverment doesn’t intend to convict Neeley. He stands too close to some other thieves in Washington. In the “official ’ publication of the allowahces mule by the couuty commissioners at their August session, as published in the Apologist, we observe a number of inaccuracies from the record of allowances as made by the commissioners, as really shown in their official records and the unofficial publication as made by us last week. The “official” publication shows the allowance of the claim of “W. B. Austin, rebate Robt. Goodrick liq lie. $13.88.” The records and the unofficial publication showß that this claim was dismissed. The “official” publication shows that Stoner & Day were allowed SB2 “exp. poor farm.” The records and the unofficial publication shows their allowance to have been only $2.88. The “official” publication shows that the Burt-Torry Co., were allowed one bill for books and stationery, $264. The records and the unofficial publication show this allowance to have been *264.30. The records and the unofficial •publication shows an allowance of SB2 to B. Forsythe for groceries for poor farm. The “official” publication mnkes no mention of this allowance at all. So we might goon and mention other inaocuracies, which were without doubt the fault of the printer, but apace forbids. The “official” publication of those allowances made in the Apologist cost the taxpayers of -Jasper about $6. The unofficial, *>ut ACCURATE publication made

several days earlier in The Democrat didn’t, cost Jasper county nor any other taxpayer one penny. Which is of the most value?

"Ben-Hur" at Chicago.

Klaw & Erlanger’s stupendous production of Gen. Lew Wallace’s “Ben Hur” will receive its first Western representation at the opening of the second season of the new Illinois Theatre, Chicago, on Monday evening, September 2d. In all features this great production in its powerfully impressive story, in its beautiful music, and in its massive and magnifeent scenic equipment, is the greatest stage spectacle that has ever been witnessed either in this country or abroad. The audiences are transported back two thousand years into the realms of beauty and glory. Wonderful scenes of Palestine in the days of the child Christ, stern and severe, fade away into more brilliant pictures full of poetry and infinite daintiness. The Klaw & Erlanger “Ben Hur” production will come to Chicago from New York direct. Several trains will be required to transport the organization, its scenic equipment, its vast machinery used in the representation of the chariot race, its sixteen horses, and its three camels. A corps of stage carpenters has been at work for several weeks making the necessary and extensive alterations behind the footlights for the presentation of this vast performance. When it is considered that the chariot race alone require more than forty tons of moving machinery’ and a panorama of 2006 feet of painted canvas thirtyfive feet high, which is whirled across the stage in the space of one minute and fifteen seconds, it can be easily comprehended that none but the most modern theatre can present thisgreat play. There will be twelve horse racing in full view of the audience during the famous chariot race. The incident of smashing of Messala’s wheel by Ben Hur’s superior horsemanship, the clouds of dust, clatter of hoof, the roar of the multitude, the cries of excited contesting drivers, make a stage spectacale such as has never before been witnessed. There will be 350 people on the stage in the principal scenes of “Ben Hur,” including fifty children. The drama holds to the original story as closely as stage requirement will permit. The book reader will experience the delight of seeing all the characters followed with untiring interest in the story, translated to the more realistic atmosphere of dramatic portrayal, presented in an environment which most truthfully mirrors the period and locale of which it treats. The sale of seats for the first three weeks of'this limited engagement will open at the Illinois Theatre, Chicago, Thursday, August 29, and the management announce that out-of-town patrons may secure admission and coupons by mail, if orders are accompanied by money order or check. If you need Life Insurance, call on Bruner & Randle. Forsythe Block, Room 7.

Their Secret Is Out

All SadieviHe, Ky., was curious to learn the cause of the vast improvement in the health of Mrs. S. P. Whittaker, who had for a long time, endured untold suffering from a chronic bronchial trouble. “It's all due to Dr. King's New Discovery," writes her husband. “It completely cured her and also cured our little grand-daughter of a severe attack of Whooping Cough." It positively cures Coughs, Colds, LaGrippe, Bronchitis, all Throat and Lung troubles. Guaranteed bottles 50c and SI.OO. Trial bottles free at Long's drug store.

Wallace Circus Stars.

It is difficult to say in just what department the Great Wallace Shews excel, but when it visits Rensselaer on Tuesday, August 27, oar citizens can judge for themselves. Those who are versed in the business and ought to know whereof they speak say that the riding as seen with the Wallace Show this year has never been equalled, much less excelled. The riding of Mike Roouey and Orrin Hollis is a revelation to the public. Their consummate skill and beautiful grace are always greatly admired. They do everything on a horse’s back that an ordinary acrobat can do on the stage. They never falter or lose their balance, but perform feat after feat in such an easy manner that their act is one of the most ad mired of the entire program. What Orrin Hollis and Mike Rooney cannot do on the back of a galloping horse never could be done. They do all of the old time tricks and then do feats of their own invention which have never been attempted by others. For Hollis and Rooney to turn a backward or forward somersault upon a horse is as easy as for an ordinary man to take a step. There is also a friendly rivalry existing between Hollis and Rooney; each one of them would rather lose a woek’s salary than to make a mistake or a failure in any feat, since he knows the other one wonld chuckle over his misfortune. Tnis friendly rivalry between the two celebrated riders not only amuses the other preformers connected with the Great Wallace Shown, but it also results in better riding than can be seen with any other show. Mike Rooney and Orrin Hollis are second to none. These champion bareback riders will be seen with the Great Wallace Shows when they exhibit for one day only in Rensselaer on Tuesday, August 27.
