UTILITIES BILL A PROBLEMJO SOLVE Democrats in Senate Have Postponed Action on Bill Until Next Monday.

HIT A LARGE SNAG Sunday Amusement Measure Up For Third Reading in the House Today. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 21. A problem with twenty-four knots, big and little, confronted the senate democratic caucus Thursday afternoon, when the Spencer-Shively public utilities bill was taken up for consideration, and for unknown reasons it was decided to postpone the entire matter until next Monday evening. The reason given out was that further time should be given to consider .the proposed amendments, in order that the bill, when passed, shall be absolutely satisfactory to the "people" of Indiana. There was nothing behind the delay except the desire to give the matter the proper attention that its vast importance demands, according to a statement given out by George W. Curtis, president pro tempore of the upper chamber. The bill was taken up by sections, the confidence was expressed that a perfect measure finally would be passed. Nevertheless, it is known that railroad legislative agents, attorneys and others were buzzing around the statehouse all day. While in caucus the democratic senators struck a big snag in the proposed amendment providing for complete control of railroads by the utilities commission, which would mean the practical abolition of the present laws under which the State railroad commission operates. There were other snags, but this was a whopper. It is known that Senators Kistler and Fleming are opposed to utilities legislation of any kind, but. It is understood that Kistler has become considerably reconciled. Senator Fleming and Curtis held a lengthy conference with the governor, but no statement could be obtained. The caucus after deciding on a postponement, of the utilities measure, took up the proposed registration bill, but that too, was laid over until Monday. On the matter of a constitutional convention the caucus got down to real . business. The Stotsenburg bill providing that the people determine whether such convention shall be held by a vote in the general election in 1914, and if they favor it, the constitutional convention shall be held in December, January and February im-i mediately following was made the I caucus program and set for special i order Friday Another thing decided upon was that Senate joint resolution withdrawing from consideration the lawyers qualification amendment and joint resolution providing various amendments to the constitution should come up on the same day. The Zearing Sunday amusement (theaters) bill was called up for third reading Thursday, but on motion of its author, it went over until Friday. Stotsenburg's bill prohibiting traction companies from carrying baggage in the same compartment with the motormen, passed, 36 to 0. Senator Will R. Wood's measure stipulating that bonds of treasurers of state institutions be paid out of the general fund, passed, 36 to 0. New bills introduced were: By Greenwell, increasing salaries of township assessors and other county officers; by VanNuys, requiring advertisHELP FOR WORKING GIRLS Two Girls Tell Story of Their Illness and How They Found Relief.

I have been a very sick girl but I have improved wonderfully since' taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and am now lookine fine and feeling a thousand times better." Miss Amelia Jaquillard, 613 Seventh Street, New Orleans, La. St Clair, Pa. "My mother was alarmed because my periods were suppressed and I had pains in my back and Bide, and severe headaches. I had pimples on my face, my complexion was sallow, my sleep was disturbed, I had nervous spells, was very tired and had no ambition. Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has worked a charm in my case and has regulated me. I worked in a mill among hundreds of girls and have recommended your medicine to many of them." Miss Estella MaGUIRE, 110 Thwing St, Saint Clair, Pa. There is nothing that teaches mora than experience. Therefore, such letters from girls who have suffered and were restored to health by Lydia K.

ing for contracts on supplies for cities and townships. Representative Cravens put a kink In the prospects of those state officials and employes who were voted Increased salaries by the Senate, when he "beat several other representatives to it" Thursday and moved that the senate amendments be not concurred in. Cravens motion was enthusiastically carried and Speaker Cook appointed a committee of two, Cravens and Bedwell, to confer with a committee of the senate in an effort to get together on the appropriation bill. The United Mineworkers Union gained a 6ignal victory in the House Thursday, when the shotfirers bill went through with only three negative votes Lyendecker, Adam and Branaman. Eighty four representatives were for it. This bill requires that coal companies employ and pay shotfirers on order of mine inspectors. At present the miners pay the expense. Riley's bill granting pharmacists licenses to persons operating drug stores for ten years got through by the skin of its teeth. One vote decided its fate. And at that, Representative Bob Reeves, said his vote was recorded "yes" when he really voted "no." Salaries of county superintendents in Allen, Vigo, Vanderburgh, St. Joe and Marion counties were boosted from $1,500 to $2,500 annually, by a vote of 71 to 20 after the proposition had withstood savage oral attacks from the floor of the house. Senator Fleming was author of the bill. Other bills passed and what they mean were:

"Cupid of Vassar," and "Nancy Brown." The story tells of the love-affairs of an American girl studying music in Paris, and a young Pittsburgh dilletante traveling abroad. Into their romance comes a Marshall Field hosiery buyer, a broken-voiced Italian operasinger, the heroine's flirtations, chaperoning aunt, a maid-of-all-work, a gendarme, a theater-manager and sitythree others, together with the lottery tickets, telegram contracts, etc. All these working together bring about a musical comedy with a most interesting story one so interesting, in fact, that "The Sweetest Girl in Paris" would be an entertaining play even without twenty whistling tunes with which Joe Howard has blessed it. "Freckles." A dramatization of the most widely read book in the past decade; and a highly successful play is "Freckles," Gene Stratton-Porter's masterpiece, dramatized by Neil Twomey, which comes to the Gennett theater Saturday Feb. 22, matinee and night. From the literary point of view there have been few greater pastoral stories written. That it has been marvelously popular is proven by the fact that over a million persons have read it. When one has read a story, there is always a desire to see it played; to see the characters in real life, and this is undoubtedly one of the most important reasons for the success of "Freckles" as a drama. It is making theatrical history, is this wonderful story as dramatized; during its trial performances is a necessity with all stage producI tions, it is playing to capacity audiences everywhere. Murrette. One of the most interesting pictures shown at the Murrette in some time is one that is being shown today entitled, "Half Way to Reno."

The husband is going away on a business trip and fortunately they meet on the same irain after leaving New York. Complications arise fast and furious but in the end everything is lovely again. "The Pretty Girl in Lower 5" is another interesting picture and "The Hired Dress Suit," a comedy, completes the bill.

This was in 18."". but several years prior to that Andreas Pico made illuminating oil from petroleum which he obtained in the Newhttll region in Los Angeles county.

JUST Time It! No Indieestion. Gas . . O f: ; . or oourncss nvc niuiuic after taking "Pape's Diapepsin." If what you just ate is souring on j your stomach or lies like a lump of j lead, refusing to digest, or you belch i ' gas and eructate sour, undigested food. or have a feeling of dizziness, heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste In mouth and stomach headache this is indigestion. A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs only fifty cents and will thoroughly ' cure your out-of-order stomach, and 1 leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may ' suffer from stomach trouble or in digestion. Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on these fifty-cent cases, then you will understand why dyspeptic trouble of all kinds must go, and why they usually relieve sour, out-of-order stomachs or indigestion in five minutes. Diapepsin is harmless and tastes like candy, though each dose contains power sufficient to digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go to the table with a healthy appetite; but, what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and intestines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxatives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation. This city will have many Diapepsin cranks, as some people will call them, but you will be cranky about this splendid stomach preparation, too, if you ever try a little for indigestion or gastritis or any other stomach misery.

Its ' first historic appearance is in the "De Leglbus" of Cioero. who quotes it as a common saying. "Gratidius raised a tempest in a lable, as the saying is." The French form, "I'ne tern pete dans une verre deau" (a tempest iu a glass of water), was first applied to the disturbances In the Geneva republic near the end of the seventeenth century. In England the word "teapot" was substituted for the sake of alliteration.
