MARDI GRAS FOR MONTREAL

‘reparations Under Way to Make Winter Carnival at Canadian City a Rij> Success.

MONTREAL. Dec. 22.- An nt palace and allegorical procssionn and pageants ari' included .n the lilans for the winter carnival and Mardi Gras celebration to be held in Montreal for ten days, from Feb. 10 to 20. It is expected that the festivities will be carried out on a larger scale than ever before.

The pastors of the churches called into conference Friday night at the court house a group of men for the purpose of taking the first steps toward organization for a county antisaloon election. The meeting was entirely outside of politics, and representatives of divers political views united in the one purpose to free Greencastle and ! Putnam County of the saloon. There was plenty of enthusiasm and a most courageous view of the situation. After a thorough discussion it was decided to call a second meeting for Monday night, at the court house, at which a definite program can he inaugurated. This meeting is for voters only. All voters who are interested in getting the saloons out of Putnam County are invited and urged to be present. A competent committee has undertaken to have present representative men from each township of the county, and that alone will give the meeting such a weight and importance that it will be worth hile to every qualified voter to be there. Committees are also in communication with Judges Artman and Rawley, that both of these gentlemen may be present and address the tnteiing. More definite information concerning this will be given later. The sentiment of Putnam County is strongly against the saloon; and, ovept for the first ward of Greencastle, the county is dry. But this far there hae been no united action, and we have lagged behind others in the state. Three counties have aleujj petitioned their commissioners for elections, ami we must crystallii> and unite the public sentiment and take our place in the front, of 'i. movement. W. V. BROWN, Sec. of the preliminary meeting.

A meeting of the Clay County Bar Association was held at the offices of Luther & Luther this afternoon and the preliminary steps were taken to put a bill through the General Assembly providing for a separate Circuit Court for Clay County, divorcing this county from its circuit with Putnam County. A steering committee composed of T. W. Hutchison, Frank A. Horner and Ira Holland was appointed to map out the campaign for the separate circuit, get up statistics showing the necessity of a separate circuit in Clay County and to have charge of the measure during its progress through the legislature. A publicity committee was appointed, consisting of Jacob Herr, R. L. Shattuck and Judge Rawley and a finance committee with G. S. Payne, B. C. Craig and A. C. Miller as its members. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, every attorney of the city being present. A number of enthusiai/tic speeches were made pointing out (he necessity of a separate circuit for Clay County and urging ail attorneys to work for the proposed measure. The steering committee will hold a meeting this evening to map out its campaign and prepare an argument for the separate circuit. Circulars containing statistics showing why a separate circuit is badly needed in Clay County will be sent to all of the senators and representatives and to many of the attorneys in this section of the state. The attorneys feel confident that the bill will be passed without material opposition at the approaching session o the General Assembly and that the long felt want of a separate circuit in Clay County will soon be an assured fact.—Brazil Democrat.

What Becomes of Our Art Students? Twenty years ago there were art' schools in this country, numerous art I schools, numerous students in each j school. There were also the great schools of Paris. Julian's twenty i years ago was at its height. Every count ’ had its art schools. Every big l ity. ev-.y little city, and all of them studying under the regime of! Paris. There were thousands and! thousands of people being trained in these art schools. Now where nre| the artists? We will admit killing J off through death or non-continu-ance, but then what of that great! number who must have continued [ and worked years and years? Nine' years after I left Julian’s I went | hack there and saw one who was a strong man in the sihool when I was J a student- and I found him doing| about as good work as he had done nine years before. What lias become of all these people that have gone through that training?—Froin“Progress in Our National Art" in The Craftsman for January.

Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going properly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food which he could not do before, and lhat is the way the gain is made.
