The Golden Ball, which came near being a comic opera as anything, was written for the Marie Sanger company, by Mr. James Gorman, and the music by Louis A. Miller. This is what the Indianapolis Sentinel has to say of the show; The Marie Sanger Extravaganza company of twenty people opened to crowded houses at The Park yesterday. Nettie Von Rieg is at the head of this company and plays a dual role in The Golden Ball and extravaganza very cleverly. The troupe is made up of some very bright pretty girls, among them Carrie Rogers, Fay Hall, and others, and a half dozen commedians, the principal of whom is William Gallagher, who plays an Irish Embassador in funny style. Besides the music in this opera there are introduced numerous lively specialties and the performance goes with much spirit.—lndianapolis Sentinel.

The agricultural station at Perdue has general supervision of all farmers’ institutes and will furnish speakers who are thoroughly competent to give instruction in farming, and if there is any prejudice against farmers’ institutes in Jasper county it ought to be dispelled at once. The facts are that the station is run on the most economical plan, and wholly devoted to the agricultural and mechanical interests of the state, and it is the only school in the state where the young men of the state are taught farming. It is hoped the good people of Jasper will make these county institutes grand successes. L. Strong, President.

The Marie Sanger company, which appears at the opera house Saturday evening Sept. 21. is one of the best companies of its kind on the road, and so far, where they have appeared, crowded houses have greeted them. The piece is written for fun. and the performance makes plenty of it. In Indianapolis the matinee an dience was composed mostly of ladies and children who seemed to enjoy the entertainment. We clip the following very good notice from the Indianapolis News: When the Marie Sanger company opened yesterday afternoon at The Park, the theater was crowded, and last n'.ght by eight o'clock the theater was crowded. The performance is an operatic burlesque vaudeville acts introduced by very clever artists. Nettie Von Rieg is the star of the company, and is ably seconded by a dozen or more pretty girls who can sing and dance, and eight or ten commedians, the funniest of whom is William Gallagher. He plays an Irish Embassador, in the Golden Ball, and makes plenty of fun for everybody. The specialties are all good and several of them new in Indianapolis.

Hay Fever of The Heart.

Bay View, Mich., Sept. 17. — It seems we were mistaken last week in saying some of our hay fever exiles at Petoskey had not found relief and were going farther north. It was the young man of the crowd to whom we referred and it seems it was for relief of the heart instead of the head that he was seeking a still more northern climate. S. R. M. Revooc.

Hoosiers in Line.

A people’s party conference was held at Indianapolis last week and the following address was issued: “We the populists of Indiana, in convention assembled. favor fighting the battle of 1896 on the fundamental principles of the Omaha platform. “We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. “We demand that the issuance of full legal tender treasury notes be speedily increased to not less than SSO per capita. “We demand a graduated income tax.

I We oppose the issuance of bonds and bank currency. "We are unalterably opposed to increasing our already great burden of national debt by the issue of interest bearing bonds in times of peace and we deplore and condemn the recent action of the present administration at Washington, aided and abetted by the republican party, not only for selling our national credit at a price below its market value, but especially for surrendering to the Rothschilds and other bankers our financial independence for six months bv a secret contract, the infamy of which is without parallel in oui* history. "That we demand the initiative and referendum in all important. matters of municipal and state legislation.” "That we denounce the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States in reference to the income tax law and the imprisonment of American citizens without trial by jury,” "On these cardinal principles of our party we invite the cooperation of all persons and organized bodies believing in the principles herein set forth to join us in the campaign of 1896. ” • A plan of organization was agreed on by which state and district organizations will act under authority from the state committee.

White and Yellow Corn.

In order to settle the much disputed question whether the yield of corn is affected by color the Mississippi experiment station has made 138 tests with 45 varieties of Dent corn. As a result of this work the 75 tests with 35 white varieties have given an averageyield of 43 bushels per acre, while the 63 tests with 20 yellow varieties have given an average of only 38.2 bushels per acre. These total averages coincide very closely with the partial results published in several of the annual reports, and which were as follows: In 1890 the yield of 17 white varieties was 44.6 bushels per acre, while 15 yellow varieties gave 37.1 bushels; in 1891, 25 white varieties yielded 37.5 bushels, while 18 yellow varieties yielded 34-. 9 bushels per acre; in 1892 the yield of 11 white varieties was 45.2 bushels, while the same number of yellow varieties gave only 40.5 bushels per acre; in 1893 and 1894 the tests were continued with 22 white varieties, yielding 42.7 bushels, and 19 yellow varieties, yielding 39.1 bushels per acre. During each year of this w’ork the two varieties giving the heaviest yields were both white, though not always the same varieties. These results have been so unifrom and have indicated so strongly that the better yield can usually be secured from white varieties that the puplished records of similar work done at other stations have been examined very carefully and have been found to correspond very closely with the results secured at this station. These figures show that in a total of 1,267 tests with 490 varieties, the average yield of 217 white varieties has been 2.5 bushels per acre in excess of the yield of 273 yellow varieties, and that at only one of the seven stations making these tests have the yellow varieties given the better average yield. At six of the seven stations some one white variety has given the best yield, and of the 35 varieties named as giving the best yields at the different stations, 24 are white, and only seven are yellow. An event of the near future that is creating considerable interest is the race between Mr. Phegley on his running pony and Francis Acklin on a Mystic wheel.

To Lecture. Club Ticket-Holders.

All holders of season tickets of the Rensselaer Lecture club are notified that the drawing of reserved seats for the season will take place at the opera house Friday evening, Sept. 25. at 7:30.

Hunt or B. F. Feudig. The opening entertainment will be Oct. 2, the attraction being the Jennie Lind Ladies’ quartet, from the well-known Slayton Lecture bureau. It ought to be patent to every southern and western democrat that voting for a free silver congressman to make a free silver coinage law, and at the same time voting for a gold bug president that will veto it, is one way of settling the silver question that leaves it very much unsettled.
