The scenery, costumes and lighting effects are elaborate, the company Js a large one, and all In all "The Lost

Trail" Is a play that can be commended

to the most critical.

AT TOWXE-OEEEA HOUSE. "THE INDIAN'S SECRET."" 'The Indian's Secret" is Lincoln J. Carter's new play dealing with the Indian and showing him in all his habits, mannerisms and customs. The author is a reputable authority on the American aborigne ancl showed conclusively in'hi3 "Flaming Arrow" that he was conversant with the Indian as . much as J. Fenniirrore Cooper, who made "The Leather Stocking Tales" famous as an American, classic. There is strength and tone to the piece that carries weight and the threatment of

THE LOST THAIU Those who failed last season to witness "The Lost Trail," the successful comedy drama of western army life, will have the - opportunity beginning next Sunday matinee, October 11, for four nights, at the Towle opera house. The play is one expressive of typical clays in the. west in other times, and it Is presented by even a stronger company this year, headed by Franklin Woodruff, who will be seen as Bud Larrabee. There is a love story in "The Lost Trail" with an uncouth cowboy pitted against a smooth army officer, and an eastern girl picked as the prize.

THE LITTLEtlRBftN GRINDER'

AT THE GALUMET THEATER

The latest and what promises to be

the most highely successful musical

drama of the season Is B. K. Forres

ter's production of "The Little Organ

Grinder," now playing at the Calumet

theater, south Chicago, with a company

of exceptional, ability. The play Is

staged In a most elaborate manner and

neither pains nor expense have been

spared to make It one of the most pre

tentious that have yet been put upon

the road. 1

The leading dramatic critics of the

country who have seen the play have

dealt with it most generously and pre

dict It is one of the coming big suc

cesses of the season. Both the press

and public have praised It lavishly,

particularly on account of Its being ab

solutely free from those sensational

and harrowing scenes which at present do so much to render tb modern

drama objectionable.

I he association is writing . thousands

of letters to workinirmen. remindlne

them of the Cleveland panic and warning them against contributing to a repetition of the perilous times during

that period. Mulhall has an office ad

joining the officers of the Employers'

association and charge has. been made that he represented the latter organization, which is hostile to organized labor. Mulhall denies this, however. It

is also charged that Mulhall is in the employ of the National Manufacturers' association. His presence here was undiscovered for several days and during

were flooded with republican literature.

was the one big Issue of the campaign. The special session brought a showdown, however, and now republicans seem to feel that they have the temperance and church people solidly while the democrats are inclined to believe that nothing further la to be gained by playing to the brewers and the liberal element. The lines are closely drawn on the temperance Issue and both parties seem to feel that new fields may well be exploited. . 65,000 Voters 1'olonlced.

The union labor field with 65.000 voters furnishes an arena for great political combat. The democrats have

the lead at the start but the republl cans are not only hopeful but conn

dent. -They Insist that unionists will

stand Ifor a square deal. The republl

cans think that the Federation of Ia-

bor has been dominated by a number

of men more Interested in the brewery

and liquor business than In the cause

of organized labor and that the better

element of the unionists are disgusted

with the domination. Watson AV1U Speak to Factory Men.

Beginning next Monday, Congress

man Watson will start a series of noon

day meetings at the big shops and factories of Indianapolis. He will meet the worklngmen face to face and tell them what he has .done, what he thinks and what he will do. Similar factory meetings will be held at Evansvllle, Terre Haute, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Hammond. Gary, etc. As fiooil As Other -Congressmen. The republicans are declaring that

Watson has done no more or less In congress In regard to labor legislation than the other republican candidates In congress from Indiana. They insist that the congressmen have stood together ad that if Watson has been wrong, all have been wrong, and that

if others have been right, Watson has been right. They point out that the only labor bill opposed by unionists which Watson voted for was the otie abrogating the eight hour law on the Isthmus of Panama and - that he and other Indiana republicans voted for this at the advice of President Roosevelt and that when the bill became understood the American Federation . of Labor thanked congress for enacting the law. ; Democrats Say He Is "In Bad." Democrats Insist, on the other hand, that Watson's record In congress on labor legislation Is wholly bad, and Samuel Gompers and Ed Perkins, presidents, respectively, of the American and Indiana Federations . of Labor, declare with all the vigor at their command that Watson has not been "right"
