It is not an easy matter at the present day to find an entire new • novelty in a play especially one that the American public has not seen—but in Ed Anderson’s great railroad play, "The Lightning Express,” you will see the greatest novelty human eye has ever witnessed.

The main agitation on the streets this week is the Gifford and Wakarusha ditches.

Money was raised to employ competent attorneys, and a committee consisting of J. F. Watson, H. W. Wood and Win, C. Babcock, of Jasper county.and A 1 May and A. K. Sills, of White county, were appointed, with power to take all necessary steps to fight the matter. Another meeting will be held next • Monday, on which date this ditch case comes before them.
