SCHOOL CHILDREN MARCH IN PARADE Bearing Banners They Demonstrate in Favor of Elimination of Saloons. CLAIM NO V INTIMIDATION WHILE PARADE WAS IN PROGRESS BIG DRY RALLY WAS HELD AT THE COLISEUM ANOTHER MEETING TONIGHT. There will be one place In Wayne county that will be as dry as the drys in make It. Not even the melting enows will tend to change the arid atmosphere. The place will be the Coliseum, and the local optionists of the county will be holding forth in all their glory. At about 3 o'clock this afternoon a parade of school children took place. The youngsters carried banners variously inscribed. While the parade was in formation and progress there was speech making at the Coliseum where a large audience assembled. Wat Not Intimidation. Exceptions have been taken to the parade and it has been claimed it was used for the purpose of intimidation and" coercion. The parents of the children who took part say they have as much right to permit their children to take part in such an affair as to do anything else. They claim frankly that the object of the parade is to arouse enthusiasm and if any voter can be led to vote dry as the result of theparade, that is what is desired. Another Meeting Tonight. Tonight another mass meeting will be held at the Coliseum. It will be .addressed by Rev. Father Borron of Yorkville, Ind., and John Rutledge, a noted' Irish orator of Cleveland, O. Each of these men spoke briefly this afternoon. Other speakers this afternoon were the Rev. Aaron Worth of Fountain City; Fred Rohrer a newspaper man of Berne, Ind.; E. B. Reynolds of Jefferson township, a former representative in the-state legislature from Wayne county; E. M. Barney of the Indiana Anti-saloon league, and Mrs. Stanley of Liberty, president of Union. RATLIFF BREAKS' INTO LIMELIGHT ON OPTION BILL (Continued From Page One.) ture, and I did this because I was satisfied that the majority of the people of this county were in favor of the bill. I have not changed my mind since and shall rot. I will not. if elected, vote for any measure to repeal this law, nor any other of the temperance laws in forte. The party lash was applied to Ratlin at the special session when he came to Indianapolis opposed to the county local option law. and he was flrtally brought into line. Threats were made that if he did not support the bill he would, be forced off the ticket in Wayne county. Phillips Theatre. VAUDEVILLE.

Reports are being circulated that the Local Option Law has been repealed and that the election will not be held. Do not be misled. The law has not been repealed and can not be before Feb. 5th. The election will be held. Vote dry, Mr. Voter! With 66 counties in Ohio voted Dry and 80 Counties in Indiana to be voted Dry, as there will be, do you think Wayne county should go Wet?

The last saloon to go out of business under the law will close its doors Sept. 8, 1909. Besides one other, nearly all others will be out under the ninetyday limit or by the expiration of their license before August. PARKE GIVES 2,060 FOR "DRYS." Voting Quiet, and "Wets" Carry Only Two Mining Precincts. Rockville, Ind., Feb. 3. The local option vote yesterday resulted in a decisive victory for the "drys" in Parke county, the majority against license being 2,060. The voting was quiet, and the "wets" did not put up much of a fight, except in two mining precincts in the southeastern and southwestern parts of the county. One gave a "wet" majority of ninety-six and the other a majority of four. , Not a township in the county was carried by the "wets." Adams township which includes Rockville, gave 617 for the "drys" and the "wets" 1S3, the "dry" majority being 434. The last saloon in Rockville closed its doors Jan. 21. This left Florida township the only one in the county, with four saloons. This township gave a "dry" majority of 16S with one precinct a "wet" majority. HIS HOGSHIP WAS LECTURED ON BY . PROE. COCHEL (Continued From Page One.) have not discovered any means to cure cholera. At the last of the year when we feed green corn we have more trouble than at any time of the year. I do not lay the blame on the corn. I will advise that when one starts to feed green corn that he go easy with it until the animal's digestive organs are familiar with the change of food. Good and Bad Breeds. "I expect you want me to say which breed is the best. There are good and bad hogs in all breeds. My advice is for a man to select the hogs he likes best and make careful selections of in dividuals. Get pigs for breeding purposes which have the quality and that come frofii good size litters. In this way the hogs will probably continue to have larger litters. T Earlham Coeds and "Dorms'' Organize a Searching Party for Him. GIRLS ORIGINATED SPORT A search party has been organized at Earlham college to solve the aged mystery as to whether or not a groundhog leaves his burrow on February 2. The girls of the dormitory say he surely does for they saw one. Yesterday morning, after chapel had been dismissed and the girls were returning to the dormitory, they say a furry creature that they did not identify at the time, walk leisurely along the west side of the dorm. The girls prevailed upon the doubting Thomases from the boys' dormitory to go with them in search of tracks to prove their theory. Buzzing, sporting, walking and all other forms of social amusement promises to be retired at Earlham now for the groundhog game, and hereafter when a "coed"' and a "dorm"' wish to walk together, it is probable they will suggest tracking expeditions. My, those college rules. DECEIVED)

RETURNED TO PAPA; DIVORCE 15 ASKED

Boston Township Man Wants Separation From Wife Who Had Jilted Him. HER TENDER LOVE WILTED RALPH DRULEY IN HIS DIVORCE COMPLAINT STATES HIS WIFE DEPARTED AFTER ONE YEAR'S TIME. "Gone to father," was not the note written by Iva Druley when she left her home in Union county, but she went nevertheless, and has remained there since. Father is Newton Stevens and he resides in Preble county, Ohio. Ivy has not proved of the clinging disposition her name might indicate and in fact, according to the allegations made in Ralph Druley's application for a divorce Ivy's love for him has wilted. The young couple was married in December, 1905. and one year later the wife returned to the home of her father. Since then she has refused to make her home with her husband who has since returned to is parents' domicile in Boston township. The complaint represents that the husband was in all things dutiful and true to his marriage obligations. THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Feb. 6 "The Witching Hour." Feb. 9. "Mary's Lamb." Feb. 13. "The Man From Home." NEW PHILL!PS. All Week High Class Vaudeville. In "Mary's Lamb" at the Gennett Feb. 9, there are grisettes, models, athletic girls and still other types of feminity. Always they are beautifully and picturesquely gowned, and they dance with much abandon. One of the features is a series of shadowgraph pictures, for which a half dozen of the shapeliest lassies in fleshings pose. As a composer of tunes that strike the public fancy Mr. Carle has singularly shown his capacity in "Mary's Iamb." He has provided thirteen songs, all of which are whistleable. Most popular among these are "Betsy's the Belle of the Bathers," "My Madagascar Maid," "I Idolize Ida," "Nursie," "The Modest Little Model," "Jamais d'la Vie," "We're Hollandaise," "Love is Elusive" and "If No. 1 Met No. 2." By request, Mr. Carle will sing "A Lemon in the Garden of Love" from "The Spring Chicken." "The Witching Hour." "The Witching Hour" which will be presented at the Gennett theater on Saturday, Feb. 6, matinee and night, has, by reason of its originality of ideas and force of its dramatic intensity, been the talk of the country for many months. An absorbing story of inherited prejudice and accidental crime is unfolded in Mr. Thomas' most skillful manner with numerous exciting climaxes, while a background of love, romance extending over three generations is provided. The chief originality and charm of the play however, lies In its fascinating theories of the power of the mind to read mind and to influence mind by mere thought. This would seem to be an abstruse theme for a playwright to make a popular play from, but Mr. Thomas has admirably succeeded in keeping his drama entertaining from the rise of the curtain to its final fall. The playgoer need not be frightened by any seeming overdone of intellectuality, for Mr. Thomas is a past grand master of the art of telling a footllght story, and the imaginative phases of "The Witching Hour" are so happily and poetically introduced and so interspersed with comedy, that the new ideas, or rather, the little known theories involved are impressed upon the audience without effort, and in such a way as to arouse curiosity and to inspire fresh interest and thought. The Man From Home. Its Chicago record of 342 consecutive performances. No other play in the history of the stage in Chicago ever ran more than a third as long and no other play ever was so highly persistently praised by the Chicago press as this, but it remained for the announcement of the closing performances to bring forth the most remarkable tribute ever paid to an American dramatic production in the daily press. That was a leading editorial in the Chicago Inter-Ocean. After pointing out that the theme of "The Man From Home" is the question of international marriages alliance, the craze of American girls of wealth for foreign titles, the editorial shows how the heroine, a native of Kokomo, Ind., has become o imbued with the ways of European nobility that she is ashamed of her American birth, and to overcome this affliction she endeavors to contract, a titled alliance that is welcomed, naturally, since iwill bring money, to a decayed and degenerate English house. Then the Inter-Ocean goes on to say: "This is the crisis that confronts her guardian, a country lawyer, when he arrives on the scene. He admits that the case is serious too serious for anything but the most delicate handling. And so, gradually he presents a series of contracts between the 'despised Americans and. the old world nobility until the American girl discovers that there is something mr-

en in Kokomo that may not be duplicated abroad." At the Gennett -soon. The New Phillips. Tomorrow afternoon sees another new vaudeville bill produced at the New Phillips theater. The bill for the latter half of the week is especially good and contains some Interesting and unusual features. Spessardy's trained bears are the headllners and what these bears can't imitate in the way of human intelligence isn't worth imitating. It is the common acceptance of the public that simply because animals are made to do tricks on a stage they no longer retain the wild spirit of the forest. This conception is wrong and the trainer every moment of his time on the stage with the animals has to be on the alert against the cunning of the beasts. Cochran and Dixon, in a laughable turn of blackface singing and talking are scheduled to draw a few laughs and put warmth into the veins of the audience. Cecil Jefferson, the Southern singer, warbles with the abandon of a meadow lark. He isn't a trained artist but his singing does creep into one's liking. His songs are appropriate and well delivered.

Seven Italians, some of whom can scarcely speak the English language so it can be understood, and one of whom was unable to make the county clerk recognize his name until it was written down by another of the gToup declared their intention of becoming naturalized American citizens today. The foreigners were taken to the office of the county clerk by Harry eKnnepohl, son of B. A. Kennepohl, who conducts a saloon on North D street between Third and Fourth streets. By declaring their intention of applying for citizenship these Italians will be permitted to vote at the special election Friday. The fact that they were taken to the clerk's office by Kennepohl may give cause for a surmise as to the way in which they will vote. w-J Relieves sour stomach, palpitation of the heart.
