The Wheatfield Telephone man was sick week before last and issued no paper. Last week, however, the paper appeared as usual—not as usual, exactly, either—as the sheet was as clean as a Sunday school paper. Can it be possible that Bro.

At Bloomington Saturday, at the field meet of the Indiana and Purdue Universites, Merle Gwin, of the latter college, won first prize in the quarter mile foot race, and 2nd prize in the 2:20 hurdle race, which entitles him to a gold and silver medal and his college P.

The only damage incurred was a broken axle.

Recorder Oliver of Pulaski Co. has been adjudged insane and is now an inmate of Longcliff. Mr. Oliver has been showing signs of mental weakness for some two or three years. L ist week a citizen entered the office and asked the official to fill out a mortgage exemption blank. For answer Mr. Oliver stepped from behind his desk and began pummeling the man in vigorous fashion. He was finally subdued by bystanders and placed in jail. A lunacy commission soon adjudged him of unsound mind. It is rarely that an artiste achieves so much distinction and notice in so short a space of time as has Marie Lamour in the brief period in which she has been exploited as a star. Miss Lamour for several seasons past was an important member of Augustin Daly’s various companies, and under that distinguished manager and stage director forged to the front so rapidly that her future career has been thte food for many interesting articles in the New York press. This season Miss Lamour is to be seen in the title role of Wilfred Clarke’s great London comedy triumph, “A Wise Woman” and will play an engagement in this city on Saturday evening, May 18th with Frederic Murphy, last season leading man with Julia Marlowe, and ajwell selected company, surround ing Miss Lamour.

Library Entertainment.

The entertainment for the benefit of the Jasper Public Library to be given in the opera house, May 24th, is unde r the management of Mrs. Delos Thompson and Mrs. Frank A. Ross. They have arranged for the production of a great many novel and elaborate features with something to appeal to every taste. The minstrels, all in black tace and modern in every particular, will be under the leadership of Mr. Frank Hardy, as Interlocutor, and Messrs. Orlan and Van Grant, as Bones and Tambo, will introduce their famous clog-dancing. The clever little specialty artist, Miss Mabie Huff, will delight the audience with May Irwin’s latest song. Solos will be rendered by Messrs. Hardy, Fiddler, Meyer and Parcels and their songs will be the newest and latest. They have not a chestnut in their repertoire. The Mouse Trap, Howell’s excruciatingly funny farce, will be given by six young ladies and Mr. Bruce Hardy. A tamborine drill, by sixteen girls in gipsy costume, with specialties in fancy dancing and acrobatic feats, will be a beautiful feature, and Miss Mary Wright will read one of her inimitable character sketches. As always, the children offer the most attractive songs, by Herman Tuteur and Harry Eger, lovely fairy’s lullaby, by Madeline Phillips; a drum and bones duet, by Senior Hopkins and Ray Parks, will bring down the house. The entertainment closes with a grand patriotic tableau.

The kids have organized two ball clubs in town. One of the clubs is composed of John Morgan, Ray Parks, Bradley Ross, Senior Hopkins, Lynn Templeton, George Long, Emmet LaRue, Livingston Ross and Loyd Parks. They call themselves the Riverside Park, Jrs. The other club is composed of Henry Thornton, Carl Duvall, Geo. Zea, Rob Milliron, Alonzo Healey, Harrison Timmons, Perry Horton, James Brenner and Orris Newman. They call themselves the Rensselaer Juniors, though the other club tried to name them the Hoboes. They had their first game of the season at the Riverside Park last Saturday. The Riverside Park, Jrs., came out victorious by a score of 21 to 9. Another game will be played next Saturday. The Journal job department has just turned out a 100 page brief for the appellants in the Wakarusha ditch case appealed to the supreme court. The brief was compiled by Judge Thompson, who has given much thought and labor to the preparation of this brief. The argument is presented in a clear, concise manner, and if the decision of the lower court is not reversed it will be through no fault of the attorneys for the appellants. This case is the one in which the circuit court gave judgment against the petitioners for $3,646.70; paid out by the commissioners for preliminary work on the ditch, which was never constructed. The attorneys for the appellants are Foltz, Spitler & Kurrie, Ferguson & Wilson, Ohilcote & Parkison, Charles E. Mills and William B, Austin.

Marie Lamour is a name that has been heralded through the theatrical columns of the daily papers to such an unlimited extent of late that to those who have not watched the career of this gifted young artiste from its inception, a brief resume of what might be termed her professional life will not prove uninteresting reading. To begin with, Miss Lamour began her career on the stage in the humble capacity of a chorus singer in one of Augustin Daly’s musical comedy companies, and to the splendid early training received in this capacity, as well as to a strict adherence to the rigid discipline, constantly enforced in Mr. • Daly’s organizations, Miss Lamour credits the foundation of what up to this time has been career of brilliant success. It is to their early training as members of the chorus that Fanny Davenport, Lillian Russell and many other stars of like prominence owe much of their later success. After a brief period in the chorus Miss Lamour was advanced to the more important position of a principal, and several years’ experience of this kind in Mr. Daly’s New York company made her not only a splendid actress but a . most pronounced metropolition favorite. Last season Miss Lamour severed her connection with the Daly company to star in thetitle role of Wilford Clarke’s farcial comedy, “A Wise Woman,” and her success so far is said to have been of the most solid artistic and financial kind, Miss Lamour will appear in this city at the head of her own company on Saturday evening, May 18th. The supporting company is said to be very strong and includes Frederic Murphy, last season leading man with Julia Marlowe.

Old Soldier's Experience.

M. M Austin, a civil war veteran, of WinChester, Ind., writes, “My wife was sick a long time in spite of good doctor’s treatment, but was wholly cured by Dr. King’s New Life Pills, which Xvorked wonders for her health.” They always do. Try them. Only 25c at A. F. Long’s drug store.

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. People from a small town often laugh a good deal at folks who come from a larger town. It is not always those who are most interested in good government who are most interested in the peace officers. They may be only dodging the police. A woman cannot be said to be real well acquainted unless she goes in at the back door of her neighbor’s. Nothing looks as discouraged as a seedy, old Prince Albert coat. Nobody ever feels sorry for the man whose taxes are increased by the Board of Review. The ambition of small towns is to have streets that are named and numbered. Most of the money men can make goes to pay dressmakers’ bills. Lots of gold penholders are given to people who cannot write their names without sticking out their tongues. The man who starts to tell you a story by saying it is short, needs watching. By looking at men’s heads, it is easy to see why so many of them are foolish. The funniest man on top of the earth is a horrible liar. Lots of periodicals are never read, but are only useful to be used for the pictures. A little common sense covers a multitude of sins. ■wv One of the first things a kid learns about playing the piano, is to say he cannot play a thing. A divorced man who has been remarried frequently thinks it is a good thing to carry a Bible when he goes to church. Most excuses are worse than none. Some women you can’t talk to a little bit without their telling you all about their affairs. Some business people use upstairs rooms for offices to avoid loafers. All amateur entertainments are too long. It is a great wonder to us where all the bad recitations that are given by amateur elocutionists come from. The ones who whisper most at an entertainment are frequently the ones who applaud most when the performance is over. We feel sorry for people who always want to talk about their own affairs and nothing else. , A man wearing a stovepipe hat and carrying a couple of grips looks a good deal out of place.

ACME FOOD.

Rensselaer, Ind., May 8, 1901. I am feeding Acme Food to cows, horses and pigs. It is a great milk producer. My cows give almost twice as much milk when I use the Acme food as they did before, on exactly the same quantity of feed as before. J J. W. Marlatt. Remington, Ind., May 9, 1901.
