Witching Hour Not since his famous successes of ““Alabama” and ‘*Arizona’ has Mr. Augtstus Thomas achieved such a brilliant hit as has been scored by him in his latest American drama, “The Witching Hour.” No wonder[ this stirring play has created such a furore in New York, where it is now in its fifth month of crowded popu‘larity, and to judge by the enthusiasm of last Monday eveniug’s\ini-’ tial audience at the Garrick theatre, ! the western production of this foot-l light masterpiece of his will enjoy a " run in Chicago. From the rise of tuei curtain to its final fall there is un-, flagging interest in this play. which , contains many exciting epigodes, while being above all, a drama to appeal to the deeper thought of all who witness it. The heart interest‘ {is concerned with the tender love ro- ~ mances of three different genera“tions, all suddenly brought into rela- : tionship by the strikingly dramatic events which link together many seemingly separate lives. The story itself is that of an inherited superstition and fear, which results in an * accidental maurder, in an involved struggle between which is settled by ‘means the most novel and remarkable that have perhaps, ever been put before an audience. Telepathy. the dynamic power of thought to work good or evil almost equally with one’s .~ own aects furnishes the peculiarly original motif of the piece and Mr. Thomas has given a most impressive exposition of the responsibility of the people for the benevolence of their thonghts withoutsacrificing the -true dramatic elements of the play

itself. The second act, in which the spirit of a long departed sweetheart re-visits the world of events in the perfume of a mignonette is beyond doubt the most exquisitely conceived poetic fantasies that any playwright has dared to attempt. Romance and mystic power blend with strong melodrama. Wm. Morris as the gambler who discovers the great secret of thought power and Lawrence Grattan as the judge with such a sentimental character that he dominates all the lives involved in the tragedy, were strong in their portrayal, while Amelia Gardner as the mother of the boy under the shadow of crime, is one of the best actresses on the mod_ern stage. Praise must also be given 'la!m-fldm as & rival in love ‘and bitter prosecuting attorney while Edward See supplied a humorous portrayal of & ‘‘dead game sport” of true Kentucky type.

TALKS TO THE POINT

‘}‘he New State Chairman Talks Out-He Refutes the Statement of the Opposition Press: ;

U. 8. Jackson recently elected as state chairman after a warm and open fight for the place has issued a statement that ought to put at rest the vaporings of Indianapolis News and other republican papers that have been trying to put him in a false light with the people of this state. He hits right at the mark. His letter is as follows: “To the Democrats of Indiana:— In assuming the duties of chairman of the democratic state committee.l feel it my duty tocommunicate to you of the rank and file of the party some of my aims and purposes. Youi are interested in my convictions and you shall have them without reservation. IR S

“]I ghall perform the duties of the position, having in mind only the welfare of the democratic party, fully conscious that victory can be brought about only by harmony. If there is any man in Indiana who expects me to aid him for his personal end or ambition,or if any class or interests ‘expects to use me or my position to assist in any selfish purpose or end of this class or interest, they will find they have misjudged me.’ I will allow myself to be dictated to by no man nor will I be cogtrolled by any faction within the party, nor by any faction either within or without the party. f et ~ “In this campaign all democrats ‘who will loyally sapport the candidates and principles will look alike to me and all such will be welcomed at headquarters, for I will need the co-operation of all. : “It has been charged by the re‘publican newspapers that I was elected to back one man and two or three interests. I can only refute these monstrous falsehoods by performing the duties of the position in such an impartial manner-and with-such zeal for party success as to demonstrate how basely false this is for you, my fellow Democrats, will watch my movements. : ' ‘ I owe my full allegiance to the democratic party. All my life in season and out of season, in victory and out of victory. [ have worked for democratic success. I put all my heart in the democratic party and I love the grand old party, and venerate its traditions. o

“If I can only coutribute this year to the election of William Jennings Bryan to the presidency I will have reached the summit of my ambition and will be more than repaid for all lat()jor which I intend to give to these ends. : i «Dethocrats; on” behalf of ‘these ends, dear to my heart, I earnestly ask you for co-operation and support in organizing for victory. Without this I will be well nigh powerless. With your enthusiastic support, our cause will be invincible. Let your best men be named for office in the township, county and distriet. Let personal ambition and petty jealousies be put out of sight and put forth your best efforts. i “In conclusion, I want to repeat that every democrat who .is willing to work for party success will find in me an ally and friend and I earnestly invoke the aid of all friends of this good country in the great contest whieh is before us. '

A Big Sarplus of Cars

The best evidence that the business. of the county is at a stand stiil is shown in the fact that the railroads of the United States and Canada now have 206,800 freight cars in excess of demands, according to a statment issued by the car service committee of the American Railway association. Shortages exist on only a few roads, the total number of additional cars that could be used. on these lines amounting to 774. The figures are compiled from reports made to the committee by 168 railroads. Assuming the avearge value of a car to be $6OO, equipment representing $124,080,000 of capital is lying idle no tracks. The surplus cars aggregate nearly 10 per cent of all the cars ‘owned by this county and Canada.

Sinee Oct. 30 there has been an unprecedented increase in car surpluses reported. On that date the total surplus was 3,946 cars. while the shortages amounted to 90,757 cars. & The surplus increased on Nov. 13 to 12,201 cars, while the shortages was reported, to 57,028. On Nov. 271 40,448 surplus cars were reported, while the namber of surplus cars leaped to 119,339 on Deec. 11, the total shortage declining to 4,520. ; The statement that is being issued this week by the car service committee shows conditions as they were on Dec. 24. At the present time, according to railroad officals, the surplus is probably even greater. : ~ Figures prepared on Jan. 2, 1907, by the car serveie committee showed that at that time on 47 roads reporting there was a surplus of 20,450 cars ‘ and a shortage of 80,113. On Feb. 6, 1907, the surplus amounted to 8,709 cars, while the shortage totaled 108,226. During the summer months the surplus gradually increased, but at no tige were there more than 50,~ 000 excess cars- . fa ' Bad Stomach Trbubie Cured Having been sick for the past two years with a bad stomach trouble, a friend gaye ‘me & dose of C?t_nborlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets.

New Line to Montana

Important steps in the progress of the coast extension of the Chieago, Milwauke & St. Paul railway were ‘arnouced yesterday by F. A, Miller; ‘general passenger agent. : ~ Train service will be established Jan. 12 to Marmarth, N. D., thirty miles west of Bowman, N. D., the present end of the line. Onthe same date local service will be put on between Harlowton and Musselshell, Mont.. These two towns are in the central part of Montana andare ninety-two miles apart. . Work has advanced so rapidly that trains will probably be running between St. Paul and. Butte some time in May or June. By the middle of Feb. it 18 expected that most of the construction work will be finished. Already the grading has been practically completed and rails are being laid at the rate of four miles a day.

Marmarth, to which the trains will be run next week, is about 200 miles west of the Missouri river. While construction crews are advancing westward from this place others are working eastward along the Musselshell valley. Itis thought that the two lines will be connected and the bridge built across the Yellowstone at Miles City by the middle of next month. ]

~ According to present plans the Milwaukee & St Paul’s coast extension be completed to Seattle early in 1909. will—Chicaga Inter-Ocean.

Sleeping in Fresh Air Benificial

If people only knew what good health and good spirits attend sleeping with one’s head under a window I tent, all would do it. We must learn the virtures of breathing pure, cold air. Coughs, colds, pneumonia, consumption and all other diseases of theair passages are principally iuduced by breathing foul air. The blood needs fresh air, the tissues need fresh air, the cells need fresh air and even the bones need it. Foolish, very foolish are those who shut their bedroom windows, who fail to ventilate their sitting and dining rooms or who in any way cut out the fresh, heath-giving, life giving air. In the winter time it is sometimes very uncomfortable to open the bedroom windows wide because of cold. A cold nightin bed is in» deed a miserable experience, but it is more healthful in the long run than the warmth withsut a.full puota of fresh air. As Captain Nausen said of his experience in the Artic regions: ‘“We suffered in sfeeping ‘out from cold, had frozen members ‘and frost bites, but not a man in the ‘whole expedition had a cold or cough or pneumonia during the three years we were 1n the North. Upon our return home and with sleeping in houses we all had colds and coughs and some died with pneumonia.”’— Indiana State Board of Health Bulletin. , Disturbed The Congregation . The retson who disturbed the confregut on last Sunday by continualIy coughing is requested to buy a ‘bottle of Fofieys‘u Honey and Tar. My 8. J. WILLIAMS,:

WHAT FARMERS SAID

Discussing the Mail Order at Farmers In. stitute—Home Man Must Advertise —Must Show Them

Four farmers, one from Greenfield, one from Vanßuren,one from Bloomfield and one from Johnston, were quietly discussing the mail order business at the hotticulture'meeting Saturday, at the Louis Weir farm home east of town. They seemed to agree that the home merchant is entitlod to find consideration and the trade of the farmér, if the price are reasonable.

“Butright here is the point,” said one of the four, ‘*‘Lagrange merchants must learn to hold the trade of the ‘farmer they must let,their prices be known through the county newspapers. We know the prices of the mail order dealer for he sends us his catalouges,but the merchant at Lagrange who does not advertise his prices has no claim on the trade of farmers. This is an age of strong competitiop in the retailng merchandise and the merchant who hustles is the ?Jerchant wins out in the long rnn. If there is a Lagrange business man who assumes that the farmer does ‘not redid-the advertising in the county newspapers that man is not in close touch with his own affairs. If the farmer does not read ‘advertising why is it he sends money to the mail order dealer?” With the merchant who does not use the columns of the newspapers to-advertise his business the newspaper can have little sympathy in his complaint against the mail order dealer. Why, if he has not sufficient . aggressiveness to advertise his own business he surely should not expect the newspapers to supply this deficient. . Nor ¢an he in reagon expect newspaper readers to be interested in his affairs. They are interested in the man who is looking for business and is not afraid to proclaim his merchandise and prices through the newspapers. Farmers' read what the cataloguer

offers and they know his prices. If the Lagrange merchant furnishes similar information to the farmer he can in reason, expectto interest them. in his business, 'Wherefore the moral what you havye to sell and your price and he will respond.—LaErange Siandard.. 000 o

New Subscription Rules

Of importance to every reader of a newepaper who lis served through the mails, as well as eyery publisher is a recent order of the U. 8. postoffice department, which is given below. By: perusing. this order it will be seen that THE BANNER as well a 8 other weekly papers, can no longer extend to its subscribers a credit of more than one year. In event asubseription 'is not paid within one year, the publisher can not mail the delinquent subscriber his paper without paying one cent on each papér, under this ruling. As it is impossible for THE BANNER at its present rates to pay onescent postage on each paper mailed, the only course open to the publisher .is to insist that all subseriptions must be paid in advance or at least ‘'within the yeaf. .Following is the ofiicialflr_ulng': 3

{ “ORDER NO. 907 . . . “Section—A reasonable time will be'allowed publishers to secure renewals of subscriptions, but unless subscriptions are expressly renewed after the term for which they are paid, within the following periods:

“Dailies, within three months. “Tri-weeklies, within six months. “Semi-weeklies, within nine months. - .

‘““Weeklies, within one year. : “‘Semi-monthlies, within three months.

“‘Monthlies, within four months. “Bi-monthlies, within six months,

s'Quarterlies, within six months.” They shall not be counted in the légitimated list of subscribers, and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at second class postage rate of one cent a pound, but may be mailed at the transient second class postage rate of one cent for each four ounces or a fraction thereef, prepaid by stamps affixed. The right of a publisher to extend credit for snbscriptions to his publication is not denied or ques‘tioned, but his compliance or noncomphance with this regulation will be taken into consideration in determining whether the publication is entitled to transmission at the second class postage rates. L In presenting this ruling to our many readers. We understand that it is only asking a course that will be forced upon all newspapers and periodicals which retain the right to the mails at the old postage rate of one cent a pound upon which subseription rates are based. o Those subscribers whose subseriptions are paid in advance, or are not one year overdue, will not be affected by the new order. Credits of more than bne year cannot be extended in the future, and papérs can not be mailed to subscribers who are more than one year inarrears,unless extra postage is paid on them. - v

' The Time for Optimism *~ [J Many people in times of great financial stress, are too often given to freely expressing themselves in an unfavorable way regarding the future. They try to make themselves believe that their business is doomed to destruction, that the country is going to the dogs, and lay the blame to all sorts of causes which may or may not be correct. :

One thing is certain, this sort of thing does no good, either to the | country at large or to a man’s personal interests. These financial flurries are not pleasant for any of us;any more than an attack of measles, but they will hapven every so often, are, to a certain extent, a safety valve to the progress of the nation. The present panic found the richest nation on earth suffering from too muchsprosperity, and we fiave become flnancially sick. The doctors have had to take old Uncle Sam and and put him to bed and physic him thoroughly. He must lie still for some little time and not try to move about too much, until his financial stomach is again in condition to receive,in a healthy way, the great natural resources which are awaiting him on his recovery. . How long he remains on his back is going to depend entirely on how he ‘‘takes his medicine’” and obeys the doctors’ orders. My personal opinion is that our present national disease is a “Skin Disease,”” combined with Ptomaine poison, the latter being caused by the misdeeds of a few reckless speculator microbes. The country’s securities would not digest quickly enough, so here he is suffering from acute -indigestion. . A consultation has been called and the nation’s doctors have now exanined the patient thoroughly,and have issued their bulletins to the effect that his temperature and pulse indicate that his constitution is absolutely sound. He has been absorbing, however; too much water, which bas got to be drained off before he will be himself again. . : _, They are now trying the gold cure very effectively, which is going to make him stronger than ever. But what he needs most is a little rest, and a chance to think, until his temperature becomes normal, and his mind clear. ¢

right and perfectly healthy. It continues to pump out a steady stream of real wealth. Its fields, mines, forests and industries are on a more solid footing than ever before in its history, and this present interruption can only last for a limited period. The people have the situation well in hand; and all over the country you hear them say that they don’t understand why times should be so hard and that it certainly cannot last.

Uncle Sam is still doing business at the same old stand, and don’t you forget it; and it is up to each of us to lend a hand and show oayrselves. optimists in every sense of the word. The present contraction was bound to come and has only been hastened by eveuts which were unforseen a year ago. The country will emerge from this in better shape than ever, and we shall all reap our full share of the benefits.—Frank H. Page in Candy News.
