8INGING WAS ESPECIALLY GOOD AND ONE OF THE PLEASING FEATURES WAS THE WORK OF KID ACROBATS.

It was a large and enthusiastic audience which greeted the first production of, the Y. M. C. A. minstrels at the Gennett theater last evening. The event vas fully up to expectations and was pleasing from every standpoint. In consideration of the short time in which the affair was arranged, the production last evening was a decided success. The same production will be put on again tonight. O. C. Krone made a big hit with his ong, "The Garden of Roses." Mr. Krone is gifted with a splendid tenor voice of great volume. Frank Braffett responded to many encores to his song, "If I Had the World to Give," and contributed to the musical feature of the program in his usual pleasing manner. John Hafner made a hit with the song " Trans-mag-ni-fi-can-dam-bam-u-ality," while LeRoy Lacey, Rupert Stanley and George Hodge also gave splendid vocal numbers. Other numbers rendered by Ray Geier, Fred Weston, Harry Sloan, Carl Cutter and Sycamore Hill pleased the audience. Young Acrobats' Work. In the olio, the Junior acrobatic class of the Y. M. C. A., did some clever work, and their antics proved highly Amusing to the audience. Harmon Maier, of Earlham College, made some lightning sketches and his cartoon work was remarkably clever. The coon comedy, "A Lesson in Etiquette," was put on by Ralph Snavely and Benton Barlow, while the Roman travesty act was featured by the presence of Huston Marlatt in skin tights. As a climax the "Goosetown , Ball" was presented. A large audience is expected this evening, in view of the success of the initial appearance of the production. While the work was crude in places and plainly showed the lack of training, for a purely amateur production, the minstrel show was especially meritorious. At Local Theaters "The Traveling Salesman." The, sale of seats will begin tomorrow morning for the engagement of Henry B. Harris' best company in "The Traveling Salesman" at the Gennett on Saturday afternoon and night, the play of American life, characters and types of the current period by James Forbes which has impressed the great masses of amusement seekers as one of the most worthy attractions that has been set before the public in many years. Mr. Forbes has peopled his play with a set of characters that have the stamp of real personalities with which playgoers have come in contact and the story charmingly told, yet directly and forcefully set forth and has the true ring of originality In both theme and treatment. Henry B. Harris will favor this city with the best of the three companies which are presenting the play and enjoyed the distinction of a four months run at the Park Theater in Boston following an entire season's engagement at the Gaiety theater In New York City. Austin Webb and Rosalind Coghlan have the leading roles and the others are played by Florence Hackett, Harriet Sheldon, Janet Hackett, Albert Hackett, Dan Baker, Joseph Sullivan, Gideon Burton, Jack I Newton, Scott Siggins, Geo. M. DeVere, George Smithfield and John Von Statten. Whitney Musical Co. Everyone who cares for fine singing, both popular and classical, will not miss the performance of The Whitney Musical Comedy Co., the big colored theatrical organization, which will be the offering at the Gennett for three days, starting next Monday It is a well known fact that colored people have great musical gifts and the management has gathered together in The Whitney Musical Comedy Co., the most prominent artists in the race. The leading role is in the hands of Salem Tutt Whitney, America's most versatile co'ored comedian. This Week at the Murray. The fceadliner this week at the Mur ray. Miss Amy Butler and quartette, is an act which surely ought to please the patrons of the theater, Mr. Murray be Ing so fortunate is to secure their time for the only week not booked on the Orpheum circuit. Miss Butler was at the Grand in Indianapolis last week and prior to that at the Majestic and at the Haymarket In Chicago, and next week in Kansas City so that Richmond people have an opportunity of seeing and hearing, one of vaudeville's greatest stars. In addition to the big feature, ihe Reif-Clayton trio in singing and dancing, the Legerts in wonderful hand balancing, Lynn, the royal rube, and good motion pictures make up a big and popular bill at the Murray this DANCING COTILLION.

Frlday evening at the I. O. O. F. JIall, Mrs. Kolp's Friday evening class will give a cotillion starting at 7:30 o'clock. An admission fee of 15 cents will, be charged and seats will be placed on the dancing floor so that all who attend can be accommodated. Program at 9 o'clock. ... a

A One Day Convention for Republicans Clansmen of the State Will Hold One of the Most Important Gatherings in Years at Indianapolis on April 5 State Gossip.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, March 2. The decision reached yesterday afternoon by the republican state committee that the state convention shall be held on April 5 and that it last only one day, was unanimous. This was regarded as a good omen as the time for holding the convention was the first question of great importance which the committee has had to consider and the manner in which it disposed of it leads to the belief that the committee will work in perfect harmony throughout, the campaign. It was noticeable also that all doubt as to the stand that would be taken by Dr. J. S. Culbert, committeeman from the eighth district was removed. The election of Dr. Culbert as a member of the committee was engineered by former Congressman Cro mer. Culbert served for five years as postmaster at Portland under and appointment recommended by Cromer. Is In Full Accord. The friends of Senator Beveridge did not know that Culbert was to be elected committeeman from the eighth. But Culbert, it is said, is in entire accord with the committee and is full of hope for the outcome next fall. In fact he is one of the most enthusiastic members of the commit tee. He said that with the selection of a good man for congressman in the eighth district the republicans would have no trouble in that neck of the woods. The congressional situation was one which was gone into pretty thoroughly at the meeting of the committee. In the most of the districts, conditions as they relate to the congressional race are entirely satisfactory and yet it is the understanding that the committee would like to have a strong congressional ticket all over the state. In the eleven districts there are a number of candidates and the same is true in the first district. The committeemen from these districts and State Chairman Lee, as well, it is said, would like to see some kind of agreement by which only the strongest candidates in these districts would remain in the race. Date is Satisfactory. The fixing of the time for the state convention early in April seemed to be satisfactory to most of the candidates and other republicans who heard about it. Some believed that it would have been better to postpone the convention until there is more definite information as to what is to be accomplished at Washington. But up to this time what is being done at Washington has not been allowed to figure very much in the affairs of the' state organization and it was not believed that Washington proceedings should be given very much consideration when it came to fixing the date for the convention. Delegates to the state convention, according to a new rule adopted will be elected all over the state on the same day and this day is fixed for March 26. Little Speech Making. The state convention will last only one day and the committees will be formed and their work will be done on the night before the convention. It is probable that there will be little speech making on the convention day and in fact about the only speeches that are expected are those by the temporary chairman and the permanent chairman. There was no discussion In the meeting of the committee of the quesCHICHESTER S PILLS WT THE UIAJtOXW BRANS.

Candidates will be assessed to pay the preliminary expenses and the expenses of the state convention and after that time the question of funds will be left to the executive committee. State Chairman Lee says he does not know when he will appoint his executive committee and other committees. Not Many Candidates. Unless a number of candidates come out on the republican ticket pretty soon it appears that there will not be very many contests for nominations. There may be a few who will get into the race now since the date for the convention has been fixed but it is not believed there will be a great number since the convention is only one month away. It is practically conceded that John Reed, deputy auditor of state will have no opposition for the nomination for auditor. Now Horace Kills is the only candidate for superintendent of public instruction. It is said however, that there may be other candidates in this race, and some are talked of now. For this place there probably will be a contest. W. S. Blatchley, present state geologist is the only candidate for this place. J. L. Peetz, present state statistician is the only candidate for this place and E. V. Fitzpatrick. clerk of the supreme court has no opposition for renomination. Judge John V. Hadley will not be a candidate for renomination to the supreme bench and Judge Frank S. Roby now is the only candidate for Judge Hartley's place and it seems that Judge Roby will not have opposition. Lawson Harvey of Indianapolis was talked of for this place but he has said that he will not be a candidate. Judge Vincent Carter of the Marion county superior court also has been talked of for this nomination, but it is said that Judge Carter will seek renomination for the superior bench Judge Oscar Montgom ery of the supreme bench it is said will have no opposition and the same is understood to 'be true of Judge C. C. Hadley of the appellate court. Two Stiff Contests. It seems though that there will be pretty stiff contests for the places of treasurer of state and attorney general. Jobe Freeman of Linton and Jonce Monyhan of Orleans are in the race for state treasurer and State Senator W. E. Springer of Elizabethtown may get in later. W. W. Bosson of Indianapolis and Alex Cavins of Terre Haute are in the race for attorney general and it is by no means certain that John W. Brady of Princeton will not get into the race although he has already announced that he will be a candidate for congress., from the first district. So far there Is no announced candidate for secretary of state but it is understood that Hugh Miller of Columbus may. be brought into the race for this place, or if not he, some other strong man. In off years the secretary of state heads the ticket and it is the understanding that one of the WATCH! For our Big Sensation. ARCADE TTEATRE

strongest men of the party in the state will make the race for this place. Then Lee Woke Up. When State Chairman Lee came into the city for the meeting of the state committee he found the lobby of the Claypool hotel crowded with educators who are attending the meeting of the National School Superintendents association. "For a moment I was taken off my feet when I saw the crowd," said Mr. Lee. "Do you know what I thought? I thought that they were republicans who had come in with fat pocketbooks to contribute to the republican campaign fund. But alas." A MEMORABLE DATE Many of the older citizens of Richmond well remember 43 years ago yesterday. Especially the old soldiers who were prisoners in the rebel camps in '65. It was just forty-five years ago yesterday when over 4,000 prisoners were exchanged from the north to the south and vice versa. Many old local soldiers recall the occasion with vividness and it was a day of great rejoicing in thousands of homes. An Infant Mathematician. Carl Frederic h Gauss, the famous German mathematician, when he was three years old overheard his father making a calculation In regard to the wages of some workmen. Young Carl suddenly looked up and called his father's attention to the fact that be bad made an erfor in his figures In one place. This boy entered the gymnasium at the age of eleven and mastered all studies with the greatest rapidity, so that at fourteen he was thoroughly well informed in literature, science and philosophy. His mathematical faculty increased rather than diminished with years, and much, of modern mathematical science Is due to his labor.

AND HE WANTS TO SEE "HOME FOLKS AGAIN HE WILL ATTEND BANQUET OF THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Governor W. Ross Stubbs of Kansas, will probably be one of the guests at the Commercial club banquet, to be held in the early part of May, according to a letter received today by Secretary E. M. Haas from Governor Stubbs's private secretary, D. I). Leahy. The letter was dated February 2S. Two days before Governor Stubbs had written a personal letter to Mr. Haas in which he said that business was of such a nature, he would undoubtedly have to decline the invitation. Consequently the letter by Mr. Leahy was a very pleasant surprise to the Commercial club officials. Mr. Leahy says that Gov. Stubbs may be unable to prepare any oratorical effort for the occasion, owing to the large amount of business before the chief executive. However, Gov. Stubbs has always wanted to visit this county and Mr. Leahy states that the governor has practically decided to pay this visit in May, as at that time business will take him past and he believes he can so ar range his trip as to stop off in this city. Gov. Stubbs will probably be accompanied by Mrs. Stubbs. She, like her husband, is a native of this state. Gov. Stubbs was born in New Garden town ship, but moved west wnen very young. AS A FRUIT XPERT Isham Sedgwick of This City Has Been Employed by Idaho Company. TO PLANT A LARGE TRACT Isham Sedgwick wTTl leave in a few days for Gooding, Idaho, where he will supervise the planting of 2,000 acres in apples and other varieties of fruit trees. His position will require several years work, for even after the trees are planted, Mr. Sedgwick will have to watch the growth and replant trees which either die or do not develop as they should. The company employing Mr. Sedgwick is headed by Governor Gooding of Idaho. The land is situated in a valley which has been irrigated and gives much promise as developing into one of the leading fruit producing communities of the nation. Farmers should eat more oatmeal. Although the farmer of today is able to buy almost anything he wants to wear or to eat he isn't paying enough attention to food values when it "comes to his own table. If he has been watching the extensive researches and experiments on the question of the best human food for muscle and brain he will heed the advice from all sides to "eat more Quaker Oats." Quaker Oats is mentioned because it is recognized in this country and Europe as the best of all oatmeals. Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats means getting more work out of them than if you feed them on anything else.
