Cook Stock Company. "A Multi-Millionaire" pleased the big Tuesday night crowd which was present at the second performance of Carl W. Cook and his company at the Gennett last evening. The play is of the sensational order and the climaxes were the kind to cause the curtain to be raised three or four times. Tonight Mr. Cook promises the very pretty story, "The Sheriff," a play as wholesome and true to nature as "Old Homestead." Everything essential. to give it a complete production In way of scenery and effects is carried to make It one of the most pleasing in the repertoire. Thursday night will be devoted to the amateurs who care to participate and Friday, another will be given for the colored amateurs. There will be lots of fun both evenings. JIJ3IE GETS 90 DAYS Will Have Plenty of Time Home Convicted of Old Charge. at MAN WAS FINED, ALSO.

Officer Lawler arrested the twain last night on West Fifth street, as they were headed for the rural districts. Chowning was up before Judge Converse once before, but out of sympathy for the man's family, Judge Converse fined him and allowed him to go on his recognizance. THE DIFFICULT TASK. Combine: the Particular Man's Hair Bother the Barber. "Do you know, one of the most difficult things In this business," said the barber as be ran the comb through the hairbrush, "is in the matter of combing a customer's hair? It is a rather singular fact that you will find few barbers who have succeeded in solving the problem of combing a customer's hair just as he wants It, no matter how long the man may have been a patron of his chair. Of course there are a few exceptions to this rule. There are a few. men in the world who do not care whether their hair i3 combed at all. With this class of men rof course it doesn't make much difference how the barber combs the hair. But at least ninety out of every hundred men who patronize barber shops are very particular about the way you comb their hair unless you have inspired them with an extraordinary confidence. Unless, in fact, they have a better opinion of the barber's judgment than they have of their own the barber will miss the mark when he comes to put the finishing touches on the hair. The reason for this is not altogether a matter of vanity. There are a great many men whose looks are completely altered by a change in the way the hair is combed. Take the man, for instance, who is in the habit of parting his hair on the side, and part it in the middle, or the man who is in the habit of combing his hair down and parting it on one side suppose you . roach or pompadour the hair can you not ses what changes would follow in the general appearance of the man? This fact has much to do with making the combing of a man's hair a matter of much difficulty, and I do not exaggerate when I say It Is one of the barber's hardest tasks." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

LES AT CAMBRIDGE CITY Doddy Family Returns and Citizens Are Irate, .Demanding Deportation. SQUABBLE HAS ARISEN. CLAIM MADE FAMILY IS DISREPUTABLE AND TOWN BOARD IS CALLED UPON TO INDUCE FAMILY TO TREK. Cambridge City, Ind., Sept. 2. Does any community want to increase its population by the addition of John Doddy and family? Milton, the town of their nativity, has exiled them to Cambridge City and last evening a delegation of citizens appeared before the town board and demanded that moving orders be issued to the objectionable family and that the house they live in, which is said to be nothing more than a barn be condemned. Citizens living in the neighborhood where the Doddys' reside state that they are most objectionable neighbors. It is alleged that persons who pass their house are cursed and in one instance Mrs. Doddy hit a well known man with a stone as he passed the shack. Threats, it is understood, have been made that the hovel will be burned out if the Doddy family does not soon leave town. The protesting citizens last evening were informed by the town board that an examining board had almost a month ago been appointed to inspect the Doddy domicile and that this board had condemned the building. The citizens were also informed that as soon as the town attorney, Mr. Feemster, returned from Kansas he would file action against George Kepler, owner of the property, to have it torn down. It Is stated that an affidavit charging Mrs. Doddy with assault and battery will be filed in the justice's court. "I hope it won't be necessary to call the fire department to the Doddy home " remarked a member of the tov -:rd. Sympathetic Ointment. An old time quack compounded his "sympathetic ointment" according to the following prescription: "Take mosse of a ded man's bed, two one; man's greace, one onc.;"mummIa, man's blood, of each half an one.; linseed oyle, twenty-two one; oyle of roses, bolearminick, of each an one. Bet them together in a mortar till it be fine leeke an oyntment; keep it In a box." Then all the sick person needed was the weapon with which a man had been stricken. This he anointed with the ointment, pressed to the wound and was well again, or should have been. Her Position Defined. "Are you opposed to marriage?" ht a:k,d.

HEARST'S PARTY IS BUSY HERE Influence of Local Official of Typographical Union Is Being Sought.

PRINTERS FEEL KINDLY BUT NOT SUFFICIENTLY SO AS TO BECOME ALLIES OF NEW PARTY AND WILL NOT FLOCK TO TOMORROW'S MEETING. The state managers of William Randolph Hearst's Independence League have been using all their influence to launch the party on its feet in Wayne county. The method decided upon by the Hearst leaders to start the movement in this locality was to influence the officers of the local typographical union in indorsing it. Succeeding in securing the typographical union to support the movement the Independence leaders then hoped to line up the other trades unions in the city. A few days ago a representative of the Indiana Independence league organization, was in the city and called upon Charles Kirk, secretary of the local typographical union. He asked Mr. Kirk what he thought of the movement. Mr. Kirk informed him that he had given the matter no consideration. He said that the printers in this city as elsewhere had a kindly feeling for Mr. Hearst owing to the splendid treatment Mr. Hearst had always accorded members of the national typographical union. Evidently the representative took this latter statement as an acceptance on the part of Mr. Kirk to use his Influence with the local typographical union to line that organization up in behalf of the Hearst movement. Since the representative's visit to this city he has literally bombarded Mr. Kirk with communications, urging him to use all his efforts In spreading the Hearst propaganda. Today Mr. Kirk received two letters and a telegram from Mr. Ishenwood, secretary of the' Indiana organization, telling him to be sure and attend the big Independence league meeting which will be held tomorrow at Indianapolis. He was also urged to bring a crowd with him and was requested to notify the committee in charge of the meeting how many seats he wanted reserved for the Itichmid delegation. Kirk states that he is not interested in the Independence league movement;, that he will not give it his support and that even his curiosity will not attract him to the Indianapolis meeting, at which Hearst and Hisgen, Independence candidate for president, will speak.

A TALE OF TWO SCOUTS.

Narrow Escape From m Rattler aa a Band mt Indiana. In Cyrus Towns end Brady's "Indian Fight and Fighters" la a tale of two scouts. Trudeau and Stillwell, who carried to General Carpenter through an Indian infested country the new that Major Forsyth was being besieged in the sands of Beecher's Island by a thousand warriors. Here is one incident of their Journey: "During this day a large party of scouting Indians baited within 100 feet of the wallow where the scouts were hiding. Simultaneously with their ar rival a wandering rattlesnake made Its appearance in front of the two scouts, who were bugging the earth and expecting every minute to be discovered. "In bis way the rattlesnake was as deadly as the Indian. The scouts could have killed him easily bad it not been for the proximity of the Cheyenaes. To make the slightest more-' ment would call attention to their hiding place. Indeed, the sinister rattle of the venomous snake before be struck would probably attract the notice of the alert Indians. Between the savage reptile and the savagw men the scouts were in a frightful predicament, which young StlllweH, a lad of amazing resources, instantly and effectually solved. "He was chewing tobacco at the time, and as the snake drew near him and made ready to strike StlllweH completely routed him by pitting tobacco Juice in bis mouth and eyes and all over his head. The rattlesnake fled. He could not stand such a dose. The, Indians presently moved on. having noticed nothing, and so ended perhaps the most terrible half hour the two men had ever experienced."
