Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Jan. 30.

The- democratic members of the fioute tried hard to get together and liold"S-caucus last night on the local option question, but they failed to do a. thing. During the day a call was cent out for the caucus and it was given, out that a. definite stand would, bo taken by all the democrats, one way xwthe other. During the day, however, three of the democrats, Hos- ' tatter, o Putnam county; Clore, of iRranklin, county and Merrlman of (Wells county, served notice on the liberal forces that they would appear at the caucus and make a formal tatement that they would refuse to lsvbound-by any caucus action. They were against any and all efforts to repeal the county option law and they teM the other side that there were antteen of them in all. Bomb Was Exploded. Thls4hrew a bomb into the liberal camp, but the leaders did not believe they would dare to , carry, out their purpose. But when the time came last night for the caucus to open only thirty-five of the fifty-nine democrats In the house were present. This was less than a quorum and nothing could be done. So they all quietly slipped out and went home without doing a elngle thing. The meeting was not even called to order. Nearly all of the sixteen temperance men were present, showing that they were in earnest in their position against repeal. They were ready with their report as to the position they take on the question. But they did not nave to make the report. Indifference Worries. ; The fact that so many of the nfemTcers remained away from the caucus is taken as an indication that they do not care whether the county option law is repealed or not and that they are not losing any sleep over the matter. This indifference is worrying the leaders of the repeal forces, too. Another caucus has been called for Monday night, but it is believed now that no effort will be made to bind the democratic members to any course of action of the local option question. It this Is true it means that there will be no legislation along that line at this-session. THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Saturday "The Wolf." NEW PHILLIPS. AltWek High Class Vaudeville.

HOTCH KISS, CONRAD AND TEBBETS FEATURE FOR LOCAL

FIVE HAMILTON BEATS LOCAL H. S. TEAM. . Earlham, 28; Butler, 16. Last night In the second home bas ketball game of the season, Earlham simply toyed with the visiting Butler aggregation of Indianapolis winning the game in the early stages and keeping just far enough in the lead to make the game fairly interesting. Coach Vail was much pleased with the showing of the Earlhamltes and his stock In the secondary championship of the 6tate is about as good as any of the best. Game Was Rough. The game was somewhat rough and the locals fouled repeatedly. Like wise did the visitors. Butler's efforts In turning these misques of the Quak ers into points was however the less successful. Tebbets, an Earlham guard, was a star in this particular and made eight of the local points in such a manner. The lightning team work of . the locals was perhaps the feature of the game. The ball simply rolled with the Quakers, and wherever they chose to throw it there was sure to be a Quaker awaiting and having an open field. Conrad and Hotchkiss, the local forwards, were stars. Butler shifted forwards In the second half, but its efforts to change the scope of affairs was futile. Line up and sum mary: Earlham. Butler.

After Regularly Drawn Jury Is Exhausted, It Permits Commissioners to Draw More Names.

The bill la regard to serving Jururs that now is before the legislature is regarded as a freak measure by Sheriff Meredith and some of the local attorneys. They believe it absurd and the local representatives will be asked to vote against making the bill a law. It provides that after the regularly drawn jury is exhausted, t he commissioners shall draw additional names. This is to be kept up until the jury box is filled to the satisfaction of the counsel. Would Be Ridiculous. It is believed that if such a law weremade it soon would be found ridiculous. It is pointed out that a juror might be excused and another name drawn. This name might be of a man in Dalton township. It would take the sheriff or his deputy half a day to reach a prospective juror. Upon the juror's arrival he might be found Ineligible and another delay would ensue. It might occur that after returning from Dalton township the sheriff would be dispatched to Washington township, which is located in another corner of the county. This would keep him traveling about and a jury box could not be filled for several days, or not within t he time that might be required under other circumstances to close the case and have judgment rendered. May Be Revised. It has been suggested locally that the bill be revised and provision be made for filling the jury, after the regular panel has been found inadequate from the township in which the county seat is located. In this case the name could be drawn by the commissioner. The latter idea is favored as it would do away with the sheriff being obliged to- fill a jury of men easily taken up on the streets, or in their places of business. There are men who seek jury duty and others who spurn it. The sheriff tries to avoid the professional juror as be has been termed. GARDNER SAYS LAW HAS GOOD CHANCE Does Not Believe Local Option Act Will Be Repealed by This Legislature. DEMOCRATS FAVORING IT WANT TO SEE MEASURE HAVE FAIR TRIAL BEFORE CONDEMNED REPUBLICAN REPEALERS WILL ACCOMPLISH NOTHING. Representative A. M. Gardner does not believe the county local option law to be in much danger of repeal. He said so today. He holds the opinion that the fourteen democratic members of the house who have declared they oppose a repeal will hold out in their position. He believes they want to see the present law given a two years' trial. He does not believe there Is any danger to be encountered among the republicans in the senate and on the other hand there are some democrats, who will not vote for a repeal. There is one who was sent to the senate in a strongly republican county simply because of his attitude on local option. Gardner does not believe the repub licans in the house opposed to the local option law will be able to accomplish anything. He says that three or four now apepar to favor a repeal, but when the time comes to vote, if ever it does, it is likely these recalcitrants will be lined up. Neither does the local representative believe the present option law will be seriously crip pled, or made so as to be ineffective by the present legislature.

dash which surpassed the efforts of the former night. All who were in any Way connected with the performance were especially demonstrative in saying that the management of the production as bandied by Messrs. Reber and Rogers was all they said, was this the case when it is called to mind that the cast was unusually large and the show a difficult one. Rendered Confidence. One thing which accoutns for the very spirited manner in which the show went off was that Mrs. Saxton

was at the piano. As she had been at all rehearsals in this capacity and had helped in various other ways, the confidence of every one on the stage was complete when they knew she was there to give the cues. Attention has been called to the fact that in an account of the opera in the Item last night Mr. Swing's name was omitted. It is only due to Mr. Swing to say that this was the result of his own modesty. He took his part, a hard one, in a most excellent manner. After the production last night a flash light picture was taken of the company of stars and chorus people. Those who took part in the Princess Bonnie were: Members of the Cast.

At the same time Attorney Will Bond of this city, and Prof. Roberts, superintendent of the Henry county schools are to speak.

partment of the First M. E. church. There were about six hundred members of both schools present. The social was the result of an attendance contest between the two Sunday schools which bas been going on tor the last eight months. At the com mencement of this contest the leaders of the two schools, in order to stir up the greatest interest, agreed that the losing schools should entertain the winners as acknowledgment of defeat. At. first the two schools were evenly matched but during the last several weeks of the contest the Lutherans held the banner nearly the entire time and won easily. The affair was one of the most pleas ant it has ever been the pleasure of members of either school to attend. A program had been arranged, including several musical numbers, recitations and addresses. Following the program a social time was had. The program was as follows: Orchestra of Lutheran school. America Both schools. Prayer Rev. E. G. Howard. Ladies' chorus, Methodist school. Welcome address and presentation of flag to Lutheran school, by Mrs. S. C.

TO AID LAW ENFORCEMENT CLAIMED $5,000 FUND WILL BE OBTAINED AND MOVEMENT WILL BE AMERICAN IN ALL THAT IT MEANS. In Preble county a movement is oa foot among the temperance element to raise a fund of $5,000 to aid in ferret ing out violations of the liquor laws. Preble county voted dry a short time ago and bas had practically no trou ble with "blind tigers," or other ill! cit Eelllng, but the temperance force wants to be on the safe side. Speaking editorially on the subject an Eaton paper says: We have heard this action condemned on different grounds, one that it was a reflection on the integrity of our officials and again that It was un-Ani. erican, but we can not see it that way. In the first place the highest type ol Americanism we can have is the man who not only believes in but aids in law enforcement. That it is a reflection on the integrity of our officials we can not agree, but rather we would look upon it as a great help, showing as itdoes that the moral support of the best people of the country is behind them in their endeavor to do their duty. EQUALLY GUILTY, The Apology Made by an Uneen scieusly Profane Man. The proprietor of a certain hotel in Maine la not only one of the kindest and best hearted of men, but also one of the most profane. He swears without knowing it and means no offense. He spends but little time In the ofte and is practically unknown to many of the guests. One day. however, he was in conversation with the manager when a lady interrupted them. "I want my room changed. she said. "It is on the aide overlooking the kitchen, and I am annoyed by the swearing of some man down there ev ery morning. I am a church woman and will not stand it another day." The remarks were addressed to the manager, for she did not know the proprietor or that the one who did the swearing was be. "Do you happen to know who that man is? he asked before the man ager could reply. "No. I do not. she answered. "Well, I do," the proprietor continued, "and be doesn't mean any more when he swears than yoa do when yoa get down on your knees to pray.
