NO CHARGE FOR STREETS JULY 4
COUNCIL GRANTS FAVOR ASKED BY COMMITTEE REPRESENTING THE NINE O'CLOCK TEA CLUB—“WILL TURN TOWN OVER TO CELE BRA TORS
STREET OILING GETS KNOCK
The big celebration to be given here on July Fouorth was given another big boost, when the City Council, at ite meeting Tuesday night agreed to “turn the city over to he Nine O’clock Tea Club” on that day. A committee representing the club asked the council that the city make sw r»arge for the use of the streets for concessions The councilmen seemed to more than want to help the affair and readily agreed to grant the favor. Immediately after the agreement to grant the favor asked, by the Fourth of July relebration committee, the street oiling was given a “knock.” The affair started when a claim for six dollars and forty cents for toil ing of the intersections on West Walnut street, was put in by J. C. Bridges. A motion was made by Councilman Dodd to strike the claim from the claim allowances. The motion was carried, Councilman Jones casting the only vote against the motion. A claim for $12 by Walter J. Ashton for room rent during the recent county option election, was again presented to • the council Tuesday night. The claim for the same; amount was made immediately after the election, but only $5 was allowed. Mr. Ashton has refused to take the $5, claiming it insufficient. No action was taken on the matter. Little other business was transacted by the council. A permit to build a six-rcom house on Berry street, between Indiana and College Avenue was granted to M N. Chittenden. Thomas Nelson was appointed as inspector ton the improvement of the square. He will be under the supervision of City Engineer.

jhe college world was all ex- . cment Tuesday night over the . ..minating event of the Alumni Da;., the class play given by the •: r class. Elaborate preparations had been made for tne play. Scenery and scene shifters had been piocured trem the Keith theatre in Indianapolis, and neither time nor expense Lad been spared to make the event a success. The play was the “County Chairman,'’ written by George Ade. The play itself is not remarkable being a itort of hybred between a comic opera plot and a farce comedy treatment, but in spite of the instrument the young actors acquitted themselves most creditably. The hall was crowded to suffocation all available seats being taken and .;\- tra chairs placed wherever possible. A college orchestra provided excellent music between the acts. The leading parts were all well played. Perhaps the best work was done by Nicholtton in the part of Jim Heckler, the county chairman. The conception of the part was original, differing widely from the conception of the actor who played that character while the play was being publically acted some years since. The quaint character, half philosopher and half cynic and yet allttogether genial was most heartily enjoyed. Judge Rigby, Lucy, his daughter, and Mrs. Rigby were excellently presented, and Miss Edna Bence who “hated work” also made hits with the audience. The scene in which Miss Stillson as Mrs. Rigby, pleads for her husband whom Heckler was about to expose, was forceful, and the audience was as still as death during the whole scene. Parker Jordan as the bashful lover, was also good and was repeatedly applauded The evening was greatly enjtoyed by all who had the good luck to find seats in the hall.
