SOCIETY MAKES VIGOROUS KICK
Horticulturists Protest to the Commissioners Against Changing Quarters.
G. A. R. MAKES AN ANSWER.
IT IS NOW UP TO THE COUNTY BOARD ip DECIDE WHICH ORGANIZATION WILL GET DISPUTED ROOM.
Members of the Wayne County Horticultural and Agricultural society feel as if an attempt is being made by Sol Meredith Post G. A. R. to take
from them their meeting place in the court house. They declare the Post is trying to drive them out and they object. Their objections were stated in
B very pointed manner to the county commissioners at a joint meeting -with a committee representing the. Post 5'esterday afternoon. One member of the Horticultural society's committee said last evening the society feels as If the Post is trying to drive it out of the room. "We feel we have the right to be there and everything is with us," the speaker declared. "You see we were given the light to use that room by a former board of commissioners about fifteen years ago. We have made constant use of it ever since and object to being driven out of it at this time." he paid. It was pointed out, also, that the horticultural society has put its furnishings in 'the room and it would be considerable bother to have to remove all of these to some other part of the building. It is claimed there is reason to believe the Post will not exist as an organization for many years, so any c'jange that might be made would be but temporary. . The committee from the Post presented argument to offset that of the Horticultural society and the verdict rests solely with the commissioners. The commissioners have offered the Post or Horticultural society any other room in the building but each seems intent on having but the one. The Post maintains the other organization meets but once a month and in the day time, while the Post meets weekly and at night. The building is quipped with an elevator, so there would be little inconvenience for the society to use a room on one of the upper floors. It was claimed.

RESIDENTS EAST . GET BETTER SERVICE
Street Car Company Runs Cars for Workmen.
In order that the shop men living along the National road, east of the city, may have better street car accommodations, the Richmond street and interurban railway has lengthened the eastern run of its city cars to Bell's stop, instead of to Moorman's switch as heretofore. Theee cars will be run so that the residents in this neighborhood may return home for their dinners if they so desire. The earliest car is run at 5:45 and the last car leaves Eighth and Main for the east at 10:45, returning and arriving at the car barns at 11:30. Residents have been clamoring for better service for several years. The change became effective today.
John C. Bayer, the well known baker end lodge man, will celebrate his twenty-fifth anniversary as a Knight of Pythias next Tuesday evening by giving an entertainment to Coeur De l,ion Lodge, K. of P. of which lodge' lie has always been a member.

GEOLOGIST WANTS "STRANGE ANIMAL" Creature Roaming Near Milton Declared Lynx.
Indianapolis, Dec. 19. W. S. Blatch-
ley, state geologist, wants the
"strange animal" which is reported to be disturbing the peaceful conditions of the town of MiUon. this county. It would make a valuable addition to the
state museum, he thinks.
To Mr. Blatchley, however, the animal is not "strange." According to
the descriptions of the footprints the
animal, Mr. Blatchley thinks, is a
lynx. The animal is rare in Indiana, although not xtinct It has been a
long time since one was killed in the
state. '"In the wildest parts of the state I suppose there are a number of the animals yet to be found," said Mr. Blatchley. "However, they are careful in their habits and avoid human habitations. The popular belief is that they disappeared from the state years ago." The story' from MHton is that a few evenings ago a ''strange" animal appeared in a cornfield, where it attacked and routed a bulldog. A few days later it attacked dogs belonging to some hunters and fought them until frightened away by the approach of the men. Its tracks are described a3 being shaped like claws and about three inches long.

A SURPRISED CAT. Gautier's Pet and Us Experience With a Parrot. Of all cat stories the best -Is one told by Tbeophlla G antler, the French norelist He lept assay cats, the favorite being "Madam Theophile," and she was bis constant- companion by day and night. One. day a friend, who was going away a shortrtime, brought Gautier a parrot, to, be, taken care of during his absence. The bird, finding Itself in a strangeplace climbed tip to the top ef its-perch In a rather frightened manner. 'Madame Theopuile bad never seen a parrot before and regarded the creature with manifest surprise. After a period spent in profound meditation, summoning up all the notions of natural History she had picked up in the yard.jthe-garden and on the roof, she plainly came to the conclusion that the newcomer was a green chicken. TJas toault attained, the next proceeding of Madame Tbeopbile was to lay herself flat on the floor, like a panther, watching her prey. The parrot did not like this at all; It ruffled Its feathers and rattled Its
chain uneasily. Then Madame Theophile came creeping nearer, her nose quivering, her eyes half closed, while slight thrills of pleasure ran along her backbone at the idea of the meal she was about to make. Another moment and she sprang upon the perch. The parrot Instantly straightened up and said In a deep bass voice, "Have yon breakfasted, Jackor This utterance so terrified the cat that she sprang backward. All ber ornithological ideas were overthrown. And on whatr continued the parrot gravely. "On sirloin?" The cat cast a glance at her master as If to say: "This is not a bird. It Is a gentleman. It talks!" And then she promptly hid herself under the bed, and from that refuge she could not be induced to stir during the whole day St Louis Globe-Democrat.
