SIXTY-CENT GAS BILL ENTERED YESTERDAY
Measure Will Not Affect This City Elevated Track Bill Entered, But Will Die in . Committee.
' " Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Feb. 24. Representative Clore's bill to compel Interurban companies to refund
half of the fare when a passenger Is
toot furnished with a seat in a car was
killed in the house, when 8tahl, of Kendallville, moved to strike out the
enacting clause. The motion carried
This was the principal business
transacted by the house yesterday, outside of hearing the governor's
message, killing the bill to Increase the tax levy for the state schools and passing the bill to relieve the present financial embarrassment of the state
treasury. Sixty Cent Gas Bill.
One of the bills that interests some tof the cities of the state is that of (Senator Durre to provide for sixty ent gas at Evansville. If the bill passes it will probably apply also to Terre Haute, Fort Wayne and South
tttend and representatives of all of those cities have been here from time
to time to talk to committees on the Ull. The gas people are fighting it, sind there does not seem to be much
of a demand for the change among the people of those cities. The fact
Is that gas cannot be made and sold In cities of the size of those named
tit sixty "cents a thousand and make
h profit.
One of the bills that caused worry for a few days was that Introduced
iy Representative Haggard, of La-
layette, relating to the elevation of
railroad tracks in cities. The bill pro
vided that wherever in any city there
, i three railroad tracks crossing
i. oet at grade, two of which were teed for switching purposes the city council or board of public works could order them elevated to eliminate a grade crossing. To Die in Committee. Haggard Introduced the bill by refiuest, but he said he did not expect t to pass whea; he introduced it. Bince then he has found that the house committee on railroads intends to hold up the bill and not make any report on it. The bill will die in the committee and will never be beard of again. Haggard said it would have rost the city of Lafayette $30,000, for the bill provided that the railroad Should pay two-thirds .and the city Dne-third of the cost of the elevation. Under pressure, from a strong lobby pom posed of county officers from all parts of the state the house committee on fees and salaries has decided to report against the passage of the bill to place all county officers on straight salaries. The report has not yet been made, but it will be, probably today. Representative McGinnis, however, lias introduced a . bill to repeal that part of the sheriff's fee bill which gives sheriffs what are known as "in and out" fees, for locking prisoners In and out of jail. This fee bill was passed at the 1907 session but Governor Hanly vetoed it. This session the bill was passed over the veto, democrats and republicans voting for it. Now, the democrats wish to knock out that part of the fees. Are Court Bills Dead. Nothing more is heard of the court bills which Governor Marshall "vetoed the other day. They seem to be- dead or in a sound sleep, for no one is saying a word about them. No one believes any effort will be made to pass them over the vetoes. In fact, no one believes they could be passed over the vetoes. The only thing that might bring about sich an effort would be a combine between the forces that are behind the court bills and those behind the Tomlinson bill to repeal the county option law. It is the general understanding that Senators Fleming
and Proctor are working to bring about such a combination, and that if
they find it can be pulled off they
will not hesitate to join in the effort
to pass the court bills over the vetoes. Why the Anxiety ?
"I cannot understand," said one democrat, "why Fleming and Proctor should be so anxious to pass these
court bills over the governor's veto.
.Three of the four court bills were introduced in the senate by republicans
and were - pushed by republicans,
Neither Fleming nor Proctor come
from .districts that would be affected
by the new courts or the lack of
courts. The court : bills are against
the principles of economy advocated
by the democrats. I understand, also
lhat Fleming and Proctor would rath
er see the Gary court bill passed than
klmost ; any other of the court bills.
It seems significant to me that Representative Kliver, a republican who roted to repeal the county option law, Is greatly interested in the Gary court bill, and it was even charged that his
Interest in the Gary court bill led him
o vote against his party for the re-
pa! of the county local option law.
The Stomach of the Child
Is the Organ All Parents Should Protect and Keep Normal. The stomach of a child is the organ above all others upon which the future of a child depends. Bodily development is fast in children, and the nourishment necessary to meet such development is the one essential demanded from a parent. Most mothers and fathers jealously guard a child from the formation of bad habits, yet In this age our children early become the victims of wrong food, over eating and irregular meals. It is most appalling to know the etfect of stomach troubles among our children. Most children who are nervous, irritable and cross, who dream, sleep restlessly, who tire easily and have no desire for child exercise, generally have stomach trouble, indigestion and dyspepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are intended to thoroughly digest food and to place the system in shape to obtain all the nourishment it needs from such food. These tablets mix with the juices oj the system, enriching them and giving to the body the ingredients necessary to build up the rapidly forming brain and body of the young. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be given to children after each meal
and at bed time. They are made
from pure vegetable and fruit essences
and contain no harmful chemicals whatever. The use of these tablets will give greater vim to a child in its
school work or at its play. They will produce appetite and soothe nerves, de
stroy abnormal cravings and will allay
the bad effects of sweets and such im
proper foods as most children enjoy and will eat no matter what is done to
prevent it.
It is due the child that his stomach
be protected by the parent, and if Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets are given after meals, the habits of the child will not
tear down the stomach and destroy the digestive juices nearly so rapidly. Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets are given to
each and every degree of life. Any
condition of the stomach welcomes them, from the strongest to the weakest. For sale by all druggists, price 50 cents. Send us your name and address today and we will mail you at once a trial package free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg.,

Filipino Band. In all the long history of grand concert tours, no organization ever yet faced an undertaking so great as that of the current pilgrimage of the famouse Philippine Constabulary Band, which comes to the Gennett Feb. 26. Half way round the world and back, at the invitation of President Taft! 20.-
000 miles to play for the inaugural ball.
And 86 people in the organization. The expense of transportation alone is appalling. Railroad tickets from San Francisco to Washington cost $6,782. Three private cars, at a big daily rental, are required for the band's accommodation. Two Filipino cooks, preparing the special tropical dishes the brown men like, travel with the band. Even a particular brand of oriental cigarets are carried in enormous
quantities, to sooth the spirits of the
performers after a long, hard concert "Graustark."
Geo. Barr McCutcheon's thrilling
romantic play, "Graustark," or "A Love Behind a Throne," is not only
one of the most artistic successes of the season but one of the greatest
financial successes as well.
Graustark has broken the season's record for attendance and receipts at the Fifth Avenue and Harlem opera house, New York, the Chestnut Street theater, Philadelphia and Alvin theater, Pittsburg, at each place, turning away hundreds of people at every performance. The play is booked for
an extended engagement in Chicago
shortly.
In the smaller cities or one night stands the business has been limited
only by the capacity of the theaters. "A Girl at the Helm." Now comes the best of all the La Salle theater, Chicago musical com
edies, "A Girl at the Helm." which
will be seen here March 5 under the
management of the Princess Amuse
ment company, personally directed by
Mort H. Singer. The production will be, seen in all the elaborateness and detail with which it has gained its unequal popularity at Mr. Singer's famed musical comedy theater the LaSalle in . Chicago. The cast includes Billy S. Clifford, the favorite comedian; Maud Lambert, the well known comic opera prima donna;

Robert G. Pitkin, late star in "The Time, the Place and the Girl"; William Arthur, Countess von Hatzfeldt, Florence Martin, late with Eddie Foy and "The Orchid" and others. The cast is the most noted of any yet engaged by the management for its companies, besides a $10,000 challenge beauty chorus. "The Lion and the Mouse." Charles Klein's American play, "The Lion and. the Mouse" which Henry B. Harris will produce here on Saturday matinee and night, March 6 has won from audiences in all the larger cities the most cordial demonstrations of approval and it has certainly taken rank as the notable success of the new century. Deservedly is this so for it is a finely effective dramatic presentation of a subject that is at present a paramount interest with the American people the corruption of the civil government by the power of the concentrated wealth. "The Land of Nod." "The Land of Nod," a musical extravaganza which has achieved a degree of success which Is -the amazement of the stage world, will be presented at the Gennett theater March 4. In the history of the theater in this country there has not been a production which has achieved a record of success anything like that which is unanimously accorded "The Land of Nod." It has been performed continuously for three years in the leading cities of the west and south, and
it has drawn capacity audiences everywhere, even upon its third and
fourth engagements. The reason for this is found in the fact that this production combines all the elements which are calculated to amuse, entertain and delight all who witness it, from the beginning of the performance to its conclusion. The New Phillips. Tomorrow afternoon a new and rather comprehensive vaudeville bill will be offered at the New Phillips theatre. The headline act for the week end will be the one act drama founded on an authentic and true to nature history incident .which took place on the eve of the battle of Waterloo. Anything that is typical of this great historical event which determined whether the rule of modern Europe should be that of the French or English, is particularly Interesting. Doubtless, there are numerous events recorded which occurred on that famous eve and which if taken into print or action would make admirable matter for the stage. "The Silver Sword" is presented by three competent vaudeville artists, who have done much toward the educational feature of this manner of entertainment- - - The Musical Ten-X"s have an act that is especially commendatory and season. : ". .. . .

A Hola In His Coffin. Thomas Butler, a colonel in the army of the United States early in the nineteenth century, died in New Orleans In 1805 In the midst of his celebrated controversy with General Wilkinson regarding the wearing of his cue. Colonel Butler insisted on wearing his hair In the old fashioned style in disobedience to Wilkinson's orders. According to Pierce Butler in his biography of Judah P. Benjamin, while the dispute was stfll raging Butler died and left directions that a hole should be bored In the head of his coffin and that he should be borne to the grave with his triumphant pigtail protruding in defiance. The family tradition Is that these directions were carried out. New York Sun.
