ISTOIll I rnOSIC 1 ; iC ON'T LOOK GOOD MUNCIE FANS WOULD NOT SUPPORT TEAM IN THAT ORGANIZATION. CITY VAIITED, HOWEVER Next Season, So Manager Petty Says, Sport Will Again Be Seen There Again. Muncie, Indiana, January 17. Muncie people will not have- any polo played there ' tUis season, although several attempts have been made recently to get possession of the Petty auditorium. The game is not paying any too well in a number of thc towns supporting Central league teams, and it will be necessary before the end of the season to find new berths for some of 'them. Muncie i.s considered one of the best polo towns in the west, but so much hatred is borne the Central leaguo by local fans that it is believed none of the teams would receive good support. W .A. Petty, who lias control of the Auditorium, refuses to have anything to do with the Central league because its managers refused to give Muncie a franchise when the league was first formed. Several attempts have been made recently to secure a lease on the Muueie building, but Mr. Petty says he will not rent it for other than skating purposes. If there is polo to be played he will reserve the right to manage it. Roller skating would have been revived here this winter had Mr. Petty been nble to secure the skates. Those formerly used here were destroyed in a fire at Indianapolis last summer. All the skate factories are rushed with orders and it would have been impossible to have a shipment made before next spring. Next fall, howover, it is the intention ta enlarge the floor and again make roller skating ( one of the popular pastimes. Next year, it is thought, Muncie will have another polo team. The National league, which has been under projection for several months, will have materialized by that time, j according to the promoters. Richmond, with Muncie, will be the two Indiana towns represented in the new organization. The other members will be towns in Ohio, where polo is fast becoming a popular sport. With the, increased lack of interest in the game in the towns in the Central league, it is thought the salaries of the stars will be reduced. Most of them will be willing to play for comfortable wages. Many of them at this time are receiving very l.nge salaries, and it is worrying the present managers, it is claimed, how to meet the bills. Enough amateur talent has been developed in the past few yerirs to fill a number of positions on the team. Many of the local players r.re familiar enough with the game to 1 eep the pace of the professionals. Mr. Petty is confident that fhe new organization will bo completed in finie to start the season next fall with several towns in the new. league with strong and fast teams. THE KRELL AUTO-GRAND Finest Self-Playing Piano on the Market at Watson's Emporium. A Palladium representative was delightfully entertained yesterday afternoon at the Watson Piano Emporium on South' Seventh street. Here may be found pianos of every kind and description, but the one that caught the. Palladium man's eye and ear was the Krell AutoGrand, the finest self-playing piano on the market today. This kind of piano is the invention of the oldest maker of self-ptaying pianos in existence. The instrument is of ingerious construction and bears evidence of superior , mechanism. The entire pneumatic system of the piano is of metal pipes, taking place of the rubber pipes so' easily effected by cold, damp and heat. The instrument can be used for regular piano playing or by the auto-arrangement. As the reporter listened to the h arming music, both classical and otherwise, he marveled at its wonderful sweetness, the splendid time kept

Iaml tlie lian?iony produce.-, and if it

itiijat both piano : and"' player, would. 'have. thought he was, listening , to a ''concert grand, the performer being the finest virtuoso in the land. And the music was sweet and soft and melodious. This piano is made at New Castle by the Krell people,' and the beauty of its every part, including case, is made in their own factory, and thc Krell people are in a position to know how the various parts are constructed. It is no doubt the coming piano, and Mr. Watson's house is being visited by a great many people who are interested in this marvel in music. COURT HOUSE NOTES. L. C. Abbott, attorney for Ida M. Dollins filed suit for divorce from Arthur Dollins. In the complaint cruel and inhuman treatment is charged. Robbins and Starr, attorneys for Alida Stidham yesterday filed suit in the circuit court against William Stidham, on Jiote for $500. Suit was brought yesterday by the Samuel Ach Company against B. Lantz on account for $1050. Notices were sent out yesterday by the County. Auditor to the treasur ers of school boards, treasurers of town boards and the township trustees of the county that the January distribution of fall taxes would be made January 29. ' ''.'

THE HORNING PALLADIUM

t W, B. FOOilE

(Continued fron? Pajre 1.) the applause which followed them reminded him of an incident on a Mississippi plantation where an unsatisfied dog had howled his discontent to the moon for a whole, livelong night and had kept everybody awake. The planter and one of his field hands were in consultation as to what ought to be done. " 'Well Massa' said Sambo, 'you know what makes him howl.' But the master protested that he did not. " 'What,' exclaimed Sambo 'you all lived mo 'an foty years on dis plantation and don't know what makes a dog howl, why a dog howls Massa when he smells somethin' and can't locate it. " 'Now' continued Mr. Allen, 'these gentlemen in the gallery smell pie but they are unable as yet to locate it hence the uproar.' "I am afraid that that is the trouble with 'Uncle Jack' and the men who vociferously applaud his. ..sentiments. Uncle Jack himself hashad a pretty good allotment at the pie counter but the supply did UOt dast long enough, while many of his enthusiastic supporters have had nothing but the fragrance not even the first taste 'of " the. delicious viaus. We may be surerthat every note of divine discontent uttered by Uncle Jack' will be applauded to the echo by every, office seeker whois conscious of his -own eminent claims and qualifications but would not dare to submit these to any competitive test. Every man who believes a public office is a private snap is down on the civil service law. Every man who believes that the public taxes collected! from both parties ought to be used to pay for the political services rendered to one party will be enthusiastic in his support of 'Uncle Jack's' denunciation. Every political hack, every man who believes in 'the old flag and an appropriation' will realize the force of his reasoning. "The most delicious part of his speech, if the report of it be correct, is 'that the competitive system is used by a lot of incompetent men to obtain lucrative publie jobs.' In other words if a number of men come up to be examined in regard to the duties of the place they want to fill the incompetent ones are those who can tell what these duties are and the competent ones are those who can't tell anything about it. You can draw a pretty good line in public work between a statesman and a ward healer right upon this question of civil service reform. The man whose ideals are low, who believes that the government exists for the party and not the party for the government is a friend of the spoils system. The man who believes his country and his government more important than political spoils believes in the competitive system. Of course I don't mean to say that every opponent of the merit system is unpatriotic or insincere. There are occasionally good men who believe in the spoil system just as many good men in past times believed in witchcraft. "No doubt 'Uncle Jack' is one of these, like Cotton Mather and Matthey Hale, but the spoils system, like witchcraft, is a back number and the American people are going ahead with their president, who Avas the most efficient civil service commissioner the country ever had, and with Mr. Cortelyou, who is one of our most efficient executive officers, and they are not going back with Jack Gowdy and Tammany Hall. "I venture the prediction that if Mr. Gowdy 's principles should become incorporated into the platform and conduct of . the Republican part that Indiana would cease to give a Republican majority of the size or kind which distinguished the election in which Theodore Roosevelt the civil service reform candidate; was elected president of the United States."
