TO RESiekU

A RUMOR

That Dan G. Reid Has Purchased the Star League. It seems to be certain that the Indianapolis Morning Star, with the Terre Haute Star and the Muncie Star, has been sold by George F. McCulloch to John C. Shafer, of Chicago; Daniel O. Reid, the Richmond, millionaire, and perhaps others. Mr. Shafer is the owner of the Chicago Pest, and was about fifteen years ago president of the Indianapolis Street Railway company. A wide-spread rumor that the. sale has been made is generally credited and has been traced to reasonably reliable sources, though none of the principals in the deal can be reached. Mr. McCuIloch is on his way to the East, and his associates in this city will not talk of the matter in his absence. Mr. Shafer could not be reached in Chicago today and Mr. Reid is in New York. The understanding is that the Indianapolis Star will continue publication, though as a Republican organ. In response to a demand from the old Journal readers the name of the Journal will be made more prominentThe report is that the change will take place next Friday or at least within a few days. Indianapolis News. WAY DOWN EAST Every Seat Will Be Occupied When The Curtain Goes Up. Every seat in the (Jennet t will be no doubt sold for the production of "Wav Down East " this evening. The play will be , produced as never before seen here, with the original company including Phoebe Davies as Anna Moore, and all the live stock as used in the original production. The sale of seats which opened at The .-West cot t Pharmacy Tuesday morniugwns very large, st ill there aiVsevsrad good seats left,- tHeseJi'o'wver, will likely all be sold before the doors open.

Wisconsin nuy have a polo league, if .it is possible to make up clubs of fairly ! good pi a vers who will be willing to come under a salary limit of $150 or $200. Racine, Milwaukee, Kenosha and Janesville are contemplated as four cities, and tAvo more cities may be added. The moving spirit in the proposed Wisconsin League is E. E. Beane, fonnerlv manager of the Racine club, when it Avas in the Western league. It is not probable that the Wisconsin League will be able to muster a sufficient number of professional players on a salary limit of $25 "a. week for each playeiyb! there is an available supply of. semi-pro-f.-wui.ilj in Hia.

NOT THE SAME

The Man Arrested at Indianapolis Were- Not Following Bryan. It appears that the men who were arrested at Indianapolis Saturday night aid who afterward worked a slick game and escaped from the police station at Indianapolis, were not the ones who were following Bryan after all. During Bryan's speech at Marion on Monday evening a number of people were relieved of their pocketbooks. One man lost $300. After the crowd had left the Coliseum, where the speaking took place the janitor found two pocketbooks in a small water tank in the building. The pocketbooks were so water soaked that it Avas impossible to identify them. Charge of Robbery Dismissed. Mayor Zimmerman yesterday dismissed the case against Harry King, who Avas arrested for assault and battery on James Duke. Duke could not say whether King Avas the man Avho held him up and beat him or not. Duke was also arrested and fined $1 and costs for being drunk. The police did not put much faith in the story Avhich Duke told of being held up and robbed of $27.50. A NICKNAME Wanted For the Anderson Team.
