TVATSOII A SINGER HOLDS . FORTH IN IMPROMPTU HOUSE CONCERTS. One of Few Representatives Who Can Lay Claim to Real 1 Musical ' Ability. Mr. Watson is one of the few members of the House who can really ping. There are a number of them who imagine they have musical talent and good voices, but the exhibitions they give on adjournment at the end of .t he session, when the House indulges in impromptu concerts, do not justify their pretension. Mr. Watson, however, has a magnificent barvtone , voice which is well trained and he could have made bis fortune in concert or opera. His magnificent physique, coupled with his beautiful voice, would have made him a star. He is passionately fond of music and after he began the practice of law in his home town of Rushville, he organized a male chorus which was the talk of the countryside. . lie had to give this up, however, as he found that his passion for music led him to devote time to the chorus that should have been given to the working up a law practice He is still. however,' the leader of the Methodist Episcopal choir in his home town, and when he goes back to spend vacations he resumes his place precentor and leads the choir and congregation. . ' ! 1 His church choir work; and his connection with the Epworth Leeagne mieh give the impression that h is a. "goody, goody," sort of a man, but this is very far from a description of mo cuoiniier. jcie is a rigni-iiving, right-thinking gentleman, but "has all the honest love for legitimate sport that a rich-blooded American ousrht to have. He is an expert whist plaj-er, and many of the ungodly in nis district have learned to their sorrow that he can play as stiff a hand of draw poker a3 any of them. He is not ashamed either of his proficiency in this American game, although he can in no sense be accused of being a gambler. Philadelphia rress. . .

BOARD PLEASED WITH ITS VISIT

MUNICIPAL LIGHT COMMISSIONERS RETURN FROM EASTERN TOUR. SAW MUCH FINE MACHINERY Which Would Improve Local Plant Report Will Probably Be Delayed a Few Weeks. The members of tltf board of Publie Works, W. II. Rosa, J. S. Keller, and J. F. Davenport, have returned from a short tour of investigation concerning the re-equipment of the Municipal Light and Power plant. They were vastly pleased with the re sults of the trip, but refused to make any statement as to the result of

their investigations, unil they receiv- ensuing year: Mrs. Alabama S. Myed a rejKrt from the consulting en-' rick, Mrs. Angie M . Taylor, Mrs. ineers, C. E. Mead & Company, of Elizabeth Candler, Mrs. Eliza Pell

Dayton, who sent an agent with the members of the board. Messrrs. Zeller, Davenport and Ro-J a visited i oiiiniuus, u., ami nuburir, and were lavishly entertained in both cities bv the Westinghouse Machinery Company of Pittsburg.- AS j Columbus the board visited the Edisou light plant and the municipal plant, and was pleased and instruct ed by the excellent equipment of both plants. At Pittslung they visited the Westinghouse works and were shown various kinds of machinery suitable for the local municipal plant. One machine, which particularly caught t lie eyes of Ihe board was a compact engine of 50 k. w. and 750 b. h. p., which alone could do all the ' work now being done by the machines in the municipal plant and more besides. It is hardly probable that the board will have a report of its investigations ready to submit to council by the next meeting of that body. ANNOUNCEMENT Steen Candidate For Sheriff Makes His Position Public. To the Republicans of Wayne County In appealing to the Republicans of Wayne County for their support of my candidacy for Sheriff in the coming nomination, I feel it is due to them, as well as to myself, to state that I am making my race free from any pledges or promises of any kind, other than a pledge to the people to adniinster the office to which I aspire in their interest and according to the law should 1 be nominated and elected. It is well known that for some years a political machine within the Republican party has been instrumental in controlling nominations and dominating the administration of some of our public offices. I may say that this machine is not concerned in my candidacy and that on the other hand, I am relibly informed it is opposed to my nomination. It is my purpose, therefore, to make my appeal for support direct to the rank and file of the party who want to see their nominees and officials truly representative. This assurance I hereby publicly give, as my candidacy is such that in event of its success I shall take the office free from prom ises of any kind to any man or set of men. ALBERT B. STEEN. o DAWSON AND BOOTH PLEASE. Dawson and Booth, the trick skatrng team attracted a large audience to the Coliseum last night and their exhibition was one of the best that has been seen in the city for some time. They not only do fancy and acrobatic skating on rollers but skate on stilts raised about two feet from the floor and perform almost impossible feats. They will give two more performances, Saturday afternoon and night. EYELESS BASS-LIKE FISH. Peru, Ind., Jan. 11. Williams. rros., wnne arming a well near Twelve Mile, North of this city, recently brought to the surface in their long steel bucket a fish that looked like a black bass and weighed five pounds. The fish had no eyes, and for a few days was on exhibition at Egman's store in Twelve Mile. The fish was taken from a stream of water twelve feet deep fifty feet below the surface.

Improving Their Taste. It is strange that some ingenious Yankee does not put up revolutions in neat little boxes for the Sonjth American trade. While they may he old fashioned and wedded to the home grown article, we should be ablo to got the business If we could sIioav them a better revolution for loss money. The kind they have been using consists of three men and a boy armed j with a corn knife, a pair of scissors and a gun that wouldn't stack up over an inch high at a sewing circle, having lo.t its hammer. We could put them up a revolution that should retail for about $1.50, consisting of firecrackers, skyrockets and a couple of toy pistols warranted to permanently injure the user or the money refunded. Let South America drop its conservative ways and catch up with the procession. Let it save its mouey and look up the address of any of our reliable dealers In Fourth of July accidents. . ,v To Make Sure.. "Ever try to dream with a piece of wedding cake, under your pillow?" ".'
