CORN SCHOOL WAS H1VADED BY HOST OPTION WORKERS Timothy Nicholson Wanted to Address Farmers on Tem- . perance Question, But Request Is Denied. ftRYS THEN BEGAN TO LOBBY AMONG FARMERS President Stone of Purdue

university visuea dcnooi Yesterday and Gives Warm Praise. Centrevllle Fe,b. 5. Something or a tulld sensation was created yesterday at the Sixth District Farmers' Short Course by the Wayne county optionists endeavoring to divert the attention of the students in the corn department ad animal husbandry section from the respective studies to the corn juice question. Timothy Nicholson of Richmond made the singular request to be allowed to address the farmers at the M. E. church in the afternoon and after this was denied by the officials he asked that one of the corn school offit cials make an announcement requesting all farmers to do their duty today and vote "dry." "Although," said Oscar E. Fulghum, one of the leaders in the corn school, "we have in our midst as ardent temperancee advocates as Mr. Nicholson, we could not do such a thing." Otherwise a Success. In other respects the session yesterday was an entire success and free from diverting influences. Besides, the regular program for the day President W. E. Stone of Purdue paid a visit to the school and made a short informal address. Also the Judges of the corn which was sent to the school for display purposes, announced the prize winners. Met With Disfavor. The efforts of the optionists to be allowed to bring a political issue into the course was regarded with much disfavor by the officials. Dry Lobbyists. Mr. Nicholson came to Centervillof on the one o'clock Interurban and with him several other Richmondites who remained in the background and word for '"their cause when occasion presented itself. After registering Mr. Nicholson visited the corn school in session at the town hall. He spoke to Mr. Fulghum about the question and sent a man to Walter Commons, the presiding officer of the organization, requesting the privilege to say a few words on the question of option at the M. E. church in lilt: unci uuuu auu cvcuiug. nil . vummons sent back word to Mr. Nichol son that the organization would not countenance such a proposition and that if the option advocates wanted to hold a temperance meeting that they would have to engage some public hall. Stone Makes Address. At the conclusion of the classes at the town hall and at the pavilion in ' the afternoon the members went to the M. E. church where Prof. Cochel was scheduled to give a lecture on "Steer Feeding." Much 'to their surprise President W, E. Stone, of Purdue, ; was introduced. President Stone, by his well timed remarks expressing enEnjoy Your Meals . ely Simply Eating a Little Pleasant . Tablet After Each of Them. A TABLET DIGESTS A MEAL. When digestion is perfect the fluids necessary to this process come naturally to the aid of the stomach. They are of right proportion and do their work speedily and well. When indigestion and dyspepsia are prevalent, these same juices come slowly if at .all, are weak and insufficient or are filled with strong acids and alkalies. ; When such a condition exists each ! meal is a hardship upon the digestive 1 organs. The meal should strengthen the juices, but on the contrary it weakens them, so that man by the very act of eating causes conditions to arise which of themselves bring him pain and loathing for the next meal. By eating one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets you mix the tablet with your saliva and it goes into your stomach a strong, vigorous fluid, many times more powerful than the natural digestive juices. These tablets are made nn from natural vpratahlii ort fruit essences and are composed from Hydrastis, Golden Seal, Lactose, Xux, Ascetic Pepsin, Bismuth and Jamaica Ginger. There is the formula and one grain of it will digest 3,000 grains of food in any stomach. Beside digesting the food it will give the blood the power to enrich the digestive fluids so after a time nature will take care of itself. Though you have no stomach trouble one of these tablets after each meal ts a powerful assistance to nature and Is an excellent habit to make. Go to any druggist and ask his opinion of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. We will abide his answer if he be an honest man. They sell for 50c per package. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail, free. Address F. , A. Stuart Co- 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich,

Luken & Co., Richmond, Ind. courageinent and delight that the first session was such a success made a decided Impression with the audience. Although much has been heard of President Stone there were few in the audience who had ever had the pleasure of listening to an address delivered by him or had the majority of the farmers ever seen him before. President Stone made a short informal talk. Pleased With County. He said in part: "Ladies and Gentlemen: I am glad to come down here for an hour or two this afternoon to see what Wayno county is doing. I assure you I have been agreeably surprised with what I have seen and the reports that have been made to me. "Such a thing as holding a corn school would have been impossible four or five years ago. It would have been laughable in fact. But see now what it is. To me these schools and the interest displayed is of much significance. The framers are awakening to the fact that it is worth while to attend sessions where a grain of corn is scored or live stock judged. It speaks well for the future of agriculture. "And in the future thousands of farmers will be studying just what you are at present. Every feature of the farm business will be as carefully studied as it is in any other business. Awakening Significant. "As I said before this awakening Is a most significant thing. It will result in better homes, better life, bette.men and women, the improvement of the best and most profitable business. It Is in your power to make it the most pleasant occupation." He concluded by referring to Indiana as an agricultural state. Reference was also made to the good that clubs of this nature had been in other communities. He said that what was good for Indiana was good also for other states and he declared that other states would follow Indiana's example just as Indiana followed- Iowa's example when she instituted schools of this nature. Upon taking his seat he was generously applauded. ' Visits Domestic Science. After listening to the introductory remarks of Prof. Cochel on "Steer Feeding," President Stone and "Prof. G. I. Christie who conducted him from place to place paid a visit to the domestic science department meeting in the banquet room of tfie Masonic temple. Both made short talks in which they comended the women for their work. They declared that domestic science would be of as great benefit for the girls on" the form as the study of corn, animal husbandry and horticulture was to the boys. President Stone left late in the afternoon. He stated that he was well pleased with thesuccess of the school and the prospects for the continuation of the work. He, like the Purdue instructors, was surprised at the magnitude of the school andpaid his respects tot he organizers and the othsr influences, among which was the Y. M. B. C, which has played so important .1 part In the venture. Commons Wanted to Know. At the conclusion of the address of Mr. Stone, WTalter Commons, presiding officer asked the students in attendance at the church whether they had received their money's worth. It might seem to be an unimportant question and a digression but it is true that there has been talk among the street corner farmers that the lectures and work done in the classes was the height of impracticability. It is almost unnecessary to state that nearly every one stood up when t came to a vote on the question. It was noticed that there were not more than ten in the audience who remained seatd. Nevertheless they stayed to hear Prof. Cochel's lecture and whether infirmities or other reason were responsible for their remaining seated is not known. On motion and second Mr. Commons was requested to appoint a committee to draw up resolutions and present them today. Cochel Gives Lecture. Prof. Cochel then lectured for an hour on steer feeding. The subject was thoroughly explained and the discussion following lively. He again assured them no permanent, profitable system of agriculture can be folowed without the feeding of farm live stock. In most other sections of Indiana the amount of corn fodder, straw, hay and other feed grown upon the farm is so great that it is impossible to carry enough hogs, chickens or dairy cattle to consume them, making it necessary to turn to the beef steers In order to better dispose of the larga amount of products that would otherwise go to waste. It is found that in the state of Indiana there are two distinct and definite classes cf men engaged in handling beef cattle. The one who produces but seldom feeds

them in finished form, while on the other hand the practical feeder rarely if ever produces them. This accounts for the fact that there are s many inferior and common cattle produced in the state, as the man who finally markets them as a rule is not the man who produces them and hence is not interested in the cost of products, but only in the profits from feeding. If

Improved beef is to be produced on land in the state of Indiana that is today worth from $73 to floO per acre, it will be necessary to use better methods and to produce a better grade of cattle, as the scrub steer has no place on the high priced land. The particular phase of cattle feeding that should be followed by any one man will depend solely upon the adaptability of his farm for the purpose. If he has a large amount of rough waste land which is unsuitable for the plow and must of necesity be kept in grass then he can afford to produce feeders. Awards Announced. The awards of ribbons for the best corn displayed in the corn show held in the lower hall of the town building were announced yesterday afternoon. The displays were exceptionally good considering all circumstances. O. E. Fulghum offered a gold medal, which was won by William Elkenberry of Boston township in the sweetstakes class. Mr. Eikenberry's exhibit of ten yellow ears scored 70 points. The judges of the corn included. experts sent here by the Indiana Corn Growers Association. The judges were C. A. Brown of Franklin, Indiana, who won second prize for the best single ear at the national convention held at Omaha last November and December; G. L. Kerlin, of Franklin, another prize winner at this show and L. M. Vogler of Bartholomew county. Joseph Helms of south of Richmond assisted. . Eikenberry Gets First. Prizes awarded for the best single ears, any variety were as follows: William B. Eikenberry, Boston, yellow ear, score 72, first; John C. Eliason, Centerville, yellow ear, score 12V, second; Frank Kuhlman, Boston, score 71, third. The prizes were $2, $1 and 50 cents for first, second and third awards, respectively. Those exhibiting ten ears of the yellow variety who were prize winners include: W. E. Eikenberry, Boston, first, score 70, award $3; Charles Williams, Centerville, second senre 684, award $2; L. G.

Eliason, Centerville, fifth, score 65, prize $1; Charles Staats, Centerville, sixth, score 65, prize 50 cents; Potter Pike, Centerville, seventh, score 64; William Muhl, Centerville, eighth, score 04; Clyde W. Kitchen, Rushville, ninth, score 63 f Joseph I. Helms, Centerville, tenth, score 63; R. W. McMinn, Centerville, eleventh, score 62; George Early, Centerville, twelfth, score 61. The winners of seventh to twelfth places were awarded white ribbons only. White Exhibit Winners. In the white variety the exhibit w as not so large or so good from the standpoint of points. There were also more exhibits disqualified in this class of corn than in the yellow class. Prizes to the same value as for yellow corn were awarded. The prize winners are Fred Harris, Centerville. first, score 64; M. D. L. Reynolds, Centerville, second, score 62; Roscoe Doddridge, third, 62; Ernest Doddridge, fourth, 58; Daniel Medearis, fifth, 58; Henry Stemple, Campbellstown, sixth, 58. Mr. Stemple, lives in Ohio but his exhibit was raised in Indiana and was therefore eligible to registry. Large Number Women. At the Masonic hall where the domestic science co- 3 was held there was a large representation of women from Centerville and vicinity. It was expected that Miss Agnes Smiley of Piqua, Ohio, would be present to lecture on the work btu was prevented from coming. Miss Postle, a senior in the State university of Ohio, who was sent to substitute was a very entertaining and instructive lecturer. White sauce, which is used for a covering of meats, vegetables and soups, was discussed b.f Miss Postle. This dish was prepared and served with salmon and was declared to be excellent. Probably the most interesting part of the school was the discussion which was the liveliest yet held. Following this Miss Peacock removed from the fireless cooker three dishes placed within Wednesday afternoon. These included dried peaches prepared for table use, stewed chicken, and oat meal. Every one was allowed to sample the dishes and they were pronounced superior to the same products when cooked on a stove. A cake baked in a fireless cooker by Mrs. Samuel Dickinson of Richmond, wns also served and declared to be of excellent flavor. Last Night's Session. A musical entertainment and a lecture by Prof. Allen of the Manual Training high school of Indianapolis constituted the program at the M. E. church last evening. Prof. Allen dwelt on the value of elementary agriculture being taught in the district schools. He illustrated his lecture with specimens of growing corn, the making of boxes and the tieing of different style knots in rope. He stated that boys' and girls clubs in the agricultural districts was also a good thing. His lecture was entertaining and practical. The musical entertainment was one of the best yet given. - . IT'S DIFFERENT. Boys, if you have used the ordinary Mechanics' Soaps then tried "WHIZ," you know what is meant when we say "WHIZ" is different It's really a Toilet Soap with the scouring properties. No free alkali in it to crack the skin has more body than the ordinary kind and goes twice as ' far. Grocers and Druggists sell it and recommend it. Roumania !s the most illiterate country of Europe. Two-thirds of its inhabitants can not read or write.

Feb, Feb, Feb Feb NEW PHILL'PS. All Week High Class Vaudeville. "The Witching Hour." There are some very strong scenes and situations in "The Witching Hour," notably that in the second act, where the daughter of the dead sweetheart ot Justice Prentice of the United States Supreme Court Clay Whipple's mother pleads with the august jurist for the life of her boy. The same cat's eye superstition that has proven the undoing of Whipple was the cause, it develops, many years before, of a duel between Justice Prentice then a young lawyer afid a rival for the hand of Clay's grandmother. The Justice, still a bachelor, and nursing his old love, not only allows himself to view the Whipple case, which is before the Supreme Court for review, in an entirely new light, but he gives assurance that at the new trial which is thus assured, he will himself appear and testify. The scene, aside from the powerful manner in which it is carried by the players involved in it. Is interesting from the light it purports to cast on the manner in which Supreme Court rulings sometimes are, or may be, influenced. "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Stetson's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" without destroying the venerable earmarks of this wonderfully attractive organization of Harriet Beecher Stowe's great work, has added much to the features introduced. The fun is now enlivened by the pranke of the two Marks, while more of the quaint pastimes of plantation life as it was "befo" de wall' " in the Way of cake walks, buck and wing dancing, jubilee singing, etc., give a more realistic glimpse of the latter days of slavery. This excellent company will be seen at the Gennett theater when the time honored procession of Topsies. Marks. Uncle Tom and Little Eva will march right into the hearts of the people, despite the fact that for over half a jcenury the play has engaged the attention of many audiences, and although some of the grandparents may there with their grand-children, there will be no less heartiness in their appltttse than when years ago they first saw it. The" Stetson company, its scenery, specialties and accessories will be found to be the greatest and best numerically in America. "Madam Butterfly." Miss Louie Collier, the prima donna soprano who created the part of "Madam Butterfly" in England, will be at the Gennett theatre, Feb. 17, when this great Puccini-Long-Belasco production will be presented in this city for a single performance. Miss Collier was formerly the leading prima donna of Covant Garden. London, and for several years in the same capacity with the George Edwards musical productions. It was she who created the part that afterward made her famous in the opera of "San Toy and the "Cinglee," Miss Collier possesses one of the most magnificent soprano voices in the operatic world. "Mary's Lamb." Richard Carle has a big advantage over the average stage comedian, for he writes his own musical comedies. In this way he Is atye always to keep building up the character he portrays. In Mary's Lamb" the lively play In which the tall comedian appears at the Gennett theater, February he has the part of Leander -Lamb, a henpecked man. The part fits him perfect-

ly. but he has never ceased adding lines and jokes since the first performance of the play was given in March. Now he is greeted by an almost continuous laugh while he is on the stage and he has cut out much work for himself. "The Man From Home." As an evidenc of the popularity of the "Man From Home" if such evidence were needed, there has been the keenest rivalry among th publishing houses of the country to secure the noved rights to the play, and Messrs. Booth Tarkington anti Harry Leon Wilson have at last consented to write the book. The arrangement made is that the work i shall contain not less than 125.000 words, and that the publishers guarantee a sale of not less than IO0.000 copies oft he work. The royalty is said to be the largest ever paid to any living author with the exception of Rudyard Kipling. The novel is also, by special arrangement to be published serially in the Saturday Evening Post. The authors have already draw down heavy advance royalty as an earnest of intention, and are now in the heat of construction of the book. The New Phillips. Trained bears is an act that hasn't been offered the public by the New Phillips management for a good long time. Spessardy with his aggregation of forrest children ws the drawing card at the theater yesterday afternoon and evening. The children took delig'Jt in the antics and tricks of the bears and the elders seemed to enjoy it as much. This act will be at the New Phillips for the remainder of the week. Cochran and Dixon kept the house in an uproar of laughter for ten minutes, the time of their act. Their black face work is of t!ie best. Miss Cecil Jefferson, who absolutely refuses to spell her name "Cecile," presents southern dialect songs and melodies in an especially charming manner. Rein? a native of the southland she acts her part with many of the characteristic mannerisms of the negro. If we expect the American descendants of Jerome's first marriage in the United States there are now only three men who bear the name of Bonaparte. Two are bachelors over forty-four, descendants of Jerome's second marriag. and a third a sonless widower of fifty, a descendant of Napoleon's discarded brother Lucien.

T STILL VICTOR Mud Cess Pool in East End Allowed to Remain Despite Order of Council. WASHES ONTO THE WALKS It was months ago that council instructed the board of public works to see that the dirt from the lot on the south-west corner ot Sixteenth and North E streets is prevented from washing down onto the sidewalk. From appearances today, it looks as if the board had forgotten its Instructions, or the property owner had failed to comply with orders. A new house has been built on the west -nd of the lot, but at the Sixteenth street end the mud spreads out over the sidewalk. At one time the city paid to have the banks of this lot sodded to prevent the soil slipping onto the walk. Later the grade was changed and the sod removed, so that ever since there has been a contest in which mud was the easy victor. Only One "BROMO QUININE That is LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE.
