Liberty, Ind., May 3 If present Indications -are- true Liberty will'soon do away with gas for lighting its streets and Introduce electricity. A promoter was in the city last week investigating the local situation and testing the sentiment of the business men relative to installing an electric plant. His proposition Is to buy up the gas plant and the water works and build an electric .plant, all three to be controlled by the same company. The

electric plant would be built adjacent to the water works so that one set of

men could handle both plants.

Whether the water works could be

bought is problematical as it is owned

by this city, and a majority of the

members of council are known to favor

municipal ownership. Furthermore

council feels that it will only be a matter of a few months until Liberty

will be able to have electric street

lamps furnished by the I. and C. trac

tion company which it is expected will

build a power house In this city.

Repertoire at the Phillips. Owing to the continued delays in the arrival of the scenery for the "Unwritten Law," or "The Roof Garden Tragedy," which was to have been presented by the Desmond Stock company at the New Phillips theatre beginning Wednesday afternoon of his week, it was necessary to postpone the production of this play until next week. The bill for the remainder of this week is "A Girl From Ireland," a thrilling four-act Irish melo-drama, depicting peasant life in Ireland, several centuries ago. The play is an entirely new one in this city, and the number of people who daily witness it, both matinee and night, give ample proof of its popularity. The roller skating and comedy sketch by the Adams Bros., Is also very enjoyable, as are the illustrated songs by Frank Kelly, and the songs by Miss Desmond. Beginning: Monday and continuing indefinitely, the "Unwritten Law" or "The Roof Garden Tragedy." will be produced. It is certain that this play, touching as it does on a present day sensation, will be the most popular

of the many that have been presented in this city this season.

Mary Mannering Coming. Manager Swisher considers that he has played in luck in being able to secure Miss Mary Mannering, noted actress, for an engagement at the Gennett next Friday night It will be Miss Mannerings first appearance in Richmond and she no doubt will get one of the largest audiences of the season.

The Shine That VonTt Explode

Olivia Peterson, of Coldwater, Mich, writes: "I had not been able to sit up a half day at a time for thirteen years until I used the Mystic Life Renewer. It has cured me of nervous troubles, headache and a very bad stomach. It has helped me in so many ways and cured me of afflictions that the doctors said could not be cured. The blessed Life Renewer has done more for me than all the Patent Medicines, Doctors and Christian Science treatments combined. It is the most wonderful medicine I ever saw." Sold by A. G.
