DEMOCRATS WILL OPPOSE GOVERNOR

MANSION

MEASURE

Marshall Objects to $150,000 Being Expended for This Purpose, as Maintenance Would Be Costly. SUNDAY BASEBALL BILL BRINGS ON HOT FIGHT Ministers Are Backing Project For Saturday Half-Holiday During Summer SeasonPolice Law Meeting. Palladium Bureau, . , Indianapolis, Jan. 25. Word has been received by Governor Marshall of the death on Saturday of William S. Sarber, representative from Marshall county, which occurred at. his home in Argos, where he was a merchant. Sarber was a democrat and was elected last fall. He was 60 years old. He was taken 111 while attending the session a week or more ago and had to go home. A stroke of apoplexy followed and caused his death. Governor Marshall will be obliged to call a special election In Marshall county to fill the vacancy. The house will appoint a committee to attend the funeral. A red hot lot of trouble has been ntlrred up over the three mile road law. According to the reports that come in from over the state this law is heartily condemned and there is a great demand for its repeal, or at least amended. . Law is a Hardship. Under the present law when fifty freeholders of a township petition the county commissioners for the construction of a road not more than three miles in length the commissioners must order the road built and the cost charged against the property of the entire township. This, it" is pointed out, works a hardship on many of the property owners, because in many 'instances they are so far away from the road that it does not brfit them. In osder to correct this condition Senator Mattingly introduced a bill which was referred to the senate judiciary B committee. This committee Is composed of Senators Durre, Mattingly, Wood, Strange, Kirkman, ,H. L. Hanna, Moore, Stotsanburg, Bingham, Royse and Proctor. :- i- 5 ' Halleck Has a Bill. Senator Halleck also Introduced a bill, under the provisions of which, when the commissioners order a road built a remonstrance signed by fifty freeholders of the township could stop it. This bill also went to Judiciary B. Now ugly charges are made against this committee. It is said that the committee has decided to make a fav orable report on the Mattingly bill and an unfavorable report on the Hal leck bill. But it is said that the committee will recommend that the Mattingly bill be amended so as to pro vide that any freeholder in the town ship may appeal to the circuit or su perior court from the decision of the county commissioners. The fact that this committee is composed of lawyers is being used by Senator Halleck as an argument to show why such an amendment should not be made. Objections Are Raised. "It means endless litigation in the courts over three-mile road orders," Taste Is Sure Stomach Guide A Barometer Which Never Fails, . Though Seldom Believed. "Taste is the direct guide to the stomach; and the taste buds are connected by the nerves with the stomach itself, so that they represent its health and disorder. If the stomach or its juices are out of tone, the blood is fermented by a change in the alkaline or acid condition, and these reach the mouth both directly and indirectly, j "The taste buds are in the tongue, i and are mounted by hairlike projections called papillae; they cover 5 the surface of the tongue." "When you taste these buds rise up and absorb the liquid; inform the nerves; the nerves tell the stomach, and the food is acceptable or not, just as the stomach feels." The above remarks on taste comes from an eminent authority and simply explains why when one smells cooking or sees food one thinks he can eat, but when he tastes he learns the stomach is out of business. To the person who cannot taste aright, who relishes no food and simply forces himself to eat, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets hold the secret of . enjoyable eating, perfect digestion and renewed general health. Most men wait until their stomachs are completely sickened before they think seriously of assisting nature. When your taste for food is lost it is a certain sign the stomach needs attention. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure such stoma fb They restore sweetness of breath, renew gastric juices, enrich the blood and give the stomachy the strength and rest necessary to general duty. Forty thousand physicians use Stuart's - Dyspepsia Tablets and " every druggist carries them in stock; price 50c per box. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package free by mail. Address; F. A. Stuart Co, 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall,

he said. "It would make business for the lawyers out of every case. That's what I don't like about it,"In addition to all this there has been Introduced a bill to repeal the three-mile road law outright. The fight is on, and It is expected to be a warm one. The apparent determination of the senate committee on the affairs of the city of Indianapolis to make a favorable report on the bill to authorize the expenditure of $150,000 in the purchase of ground and the erection of a governor's house in this city in spite of the wishes of Governor Marshall has aroused a good deal of comment. Governor Marshall says the average governor could not maintain such a house on his salary of $8,000 a year and that if the state wishes to build a governor's house it should not cost more than $15,000 to $20,000. Oppose Governor's Mansion. But Senator Cox, who introduced the bill in the senate, and wnj is chairman of the committee that has it in charge, says the committee will report in favor of the bill. It is expected that the democrats will line up against it and kill it unless the sum to be spent is reduced to a much lower figure. Some division of opinion has arisen also as to the make-up of the commission that would be appointed to carry out the provisions of the bill. As provided in the bill the commission shall consist of the secretary of state, treasurer -of state and auditor of state, together with two private citizens. It may be that this will be changed so that the lieutenant governor, secretary of state and three citizens appointed by them would make up the commission. It is feared, however, that a commission made up mostly of republicans would not be satisfactory to the democrats and that a commission made up mostly of democrats would be turned down by the republicans. But Senator Cox will probably agree to almost any plan for the make up of the commission in order that the bill may pass. For Reformatory Farm. One of the interesting bills of the last few days is one Introduced in the senate Friday providing for the purchase of 500 acres of land near the

Jeffersonville reformatory, to be operated as a farm in connection with that institution. The purpose, as it is ex plained, Is to provide a place where several hundred inmates of the reformatory may work and produce vegetables and farm crops for the use of the other state institutions. This, it is explained, would take that number of inmates off of contract labor duties and would reduce the amount of pris on made goods that now go on the market in competition with outside free labor. Some such plan has been under con sideration for some time by the prison authorities of the state, and this is said to be merely a -starter in the direction of the establishment of such a farm. Fight Convict Labor. Many of the manufacturers of the state especially clothing, shirt and overl manufacturers, have frequently protested against the employment of convicts in the manufacture of goods that compete with free labor, and the Indiana State Federation of Labor has always fought contract convict labor, because it reduces the demand for free labor to just that extent. Manufacturers, and the labor organizations are said to be behind this bill. It is proposed in the bill to appropriate $75,000 for the purchase of the land and the erection of such buildings as would at least temporarily suffice for the purpose. It would then be left to future legislatures to complete the plant. One of the ideas advanced in connection with such an institution Is that such a farm would afford a place for the confinement of prisoners who cannot be reformed. Life prisoners also could be sent there from Michigan City prison, and it is believed that it would also afford a place where criminal insane conld be kept, thus relieving the county jails of this class of prisoners. It is figured that the farm would produce vegetables and crops sufficient to supply nearly all of the other state institutions. The plan contemplates ultimately a farm of 2,000 acres. ' Sunday Base Ball Fight. The Sunday base ball bill is likely to have a run for its money before it gets through the legislature. The members are being swamped with let ters in opposition to it and the minis ters not vnly from this city but from other towns are talking with the mem bers urging them to vote against it But the most serious opposition to the bill has cropped out in the last few days in the shape of an effort to have the legislature enact a law creating a Saturday half holiday for working people in the months of June, July, August and September. The strong argument or the sup porters of the Sunday base ball bill is that it will afford the working people a chance to see base ball games on Sunday who cannot go on any oth er day in the week. It is to meet this argument that the ministers are back ing the Saturday half holiday proposi tion. And it seems to be "taking" with some of the members, for there is a good deal of talk about it. Let the Towns Decide. Senator Shafer, of Grant county, has another idea on this subject, and that is that he would have the law so amended as to allow each city or town to decide for itself whether it wishes Sunday base ball or not. He believes that each city or town should have an election and let the people vote on the subject, just the same as they are now permitted to vote on the question of whether they shall have saloons or not But he has no inten tion of introducing any bill of that kind. The house committee on cities and towns will have a meeting tonight for the purpose of giving both aides an opportunity to present their arguments of the Sunday base ball bill. It is believed the ctamittee will come in tomorrow morning with a favorable

report on the bill and that the bill will pass the house the last of this week. Then it will go to the senate, where it is believed it will have a hard time to get through. " . A Police Law Meeting.

tee will have an open meeting on the bill to amend the metropolitan police law, and a favorable report will be made on that law on Wednesday morning. Unless the republicans enter a caucus agreement on this bill it will pass, and it is believed that caucus action j not possible. Senator Stotsenburg and several other democrats spent most of yesterday in going over the republican bill for a legislative re-appointment. Introduced by.Seaator Springer. They picked all kinds of flaws in it, and will get busy now in the preparation of a bill that will suit the democrats and nobody else.

Thursday "Princess Bonnie." Friday "Princess Bonnie." Saturday "The Wolf." NEW PHILL'PS. All Wek High Class Vaudeville. Otis Skinner. Otis Skinner who last year achieved a very genuine and emphatic success with his new play "The Honor of the Family" at the beautiful Hudson the ater, in New York, will be seen here tonight at the Gennett theater. It is a success that is all the more gratifying because it has been honestly earned. No actor before the public is more sincerely devoted to his part and more painstaking in perfecting every detail of his production. For four months Mr. Skinner faced large and responsive audiences at the Hud son theater and his own personal sue cess in the Balzac play was unequivo cal. As the swaggering hero, Philippe Bridau, Mr. Skinner leaves no margin for hypercriticism. A very vivid per son is this Napoleonic adventurer, as presented by the actor. Philippe Bri dau bears a distinct family resem blance to Petruchia, D'Artagnan and Robert Macaire, but although he is a sort of compound of these three fas cinating fellows, he is individual in the highest degree and has no proto type in stage fiction. "Too Many Wives." Joe Morris and his merry company of fun-makers will make their first appearance in this city at the Gennett theater on Jan. 27 in a new musical comedy entitled "Too Many Wives The book and lyrics are by Charles Horwitz and the music by Frederick V. Bowers. Morris, who has long been considered one of the best imperson ators of Hebrew character on the Am erican stage, will be seen to advantage in the role of Isidore Meyer, a wealthy Kansas City merchant. He has some very gotV parodies and there are several very catchy musical numbers throughout the program, prominent among them being "I Want Someone to Show Me New York Town," "My Honeysuckle Baby," "Big Chief Oi Oi," "How'd You Like to Call Me Dearie" and "When the Moon Shines on Broadway." "The Wolf." A big event for local theater-goers will be the presentation at the Gennett theater matinee and night Jan. 30 of Eugene Walter's great play, "The Wolf." This play, by reason of its great triumph in New York for ten weeks, and more recently in Chicago for twelve weeks, is too well known to make it necessary to give a lengthy description of the plot or the numerous pathetic scenes which are so cleverly mingled in such a manner that the audience neither gets too boisterous nor too near the verge of tears. "The Wolf" is said to be remarkable for the attention which has been given to detail in the settings and ac cessories, giving the play a peculiarly realistic atmosphere. Seats will be placed on sale Thursday, Jan. 28. The New Phillips. Big black eyes sparkling, pretty features wreathed in winning smiles and dainty skirts fluttering about her, Tulsa bobbed back and forth from the first exit of the New Phillips stage this afternoon laughingly pleading with the big audience not to ask her to answer to a fifth encore. The dazzling stage beauty made a hit with the crowd the moment she step ped on the stage and had she known it, need not have said a word or even moved. But she was under contract to do some warbling and a little dancing and some talking all of which she acquitted herself of with gratifying grace. It was then that the bobbing on and off the stage began. The audience ust simply didn't want to le her go and Tulsa just wanted to the worst sort because well she said she hadn't selected, her hotel and besides she was hungry. If ever an actress earned her money Tulsa will earn her's while at the New Phillips with audiences that when they see a good act are human enough to want to see some more of the same sort. NOTICE.

HAS THIS CAR TAIL? Rattlety-bang Contraption on Eighth Street Line Listens Like a "Canned" Dog. ALARM CLUB HAS MEETING Do street cars have tails? This is no question for nature fakirs to settle, but could be carefully inquired into by the most noted naturalists. The car running on the South Eighth street line and arriving at Eighth and Main streets on the quarters of the hour would be a fit subject for even President Roosevelt to naturalize. Residents of South Eighth street believe that such an investigation w;ould reveal the fact that the car in question has a tail. The following hypothesis has been given; tin cans tied to dogs' tails give the same sound as does this car, therefore this car must have a tail. About every ten feet this "tailed" car emits a sound never before heard in the peaceful South End. It is heart rending. Last evening the noise was sufficient to keep every resident on the line awake until 10:45, it being the last car over the line. It was the first car to go over the line this morning and it can be guessed that a pleasant night was passed by many. Even the dogs and cats in the community took the liberty to express indignation. So perturbed were the residents at one time that the members of the South Side Alarm club gathered together and some of the more select, formed themselves into a vigilance committee and drew up resolutions to the effect that the car's tail should be found and amputated. While waiting for the car the chairman of the committee stepped out from the meeting place and sang to relieve pent-up emotions. Just at this same time the cats, perched on fences, and the dogs sent up melodies to the gods of old. Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Co.
