THE MASCOT.

A Brilliant Audience Wlteset the Bst Kntertainweut of the Seittiou iMut Night. Locul Talent I'lcu the l'eoplo in a Mauiter Most Satisfactory. To lie. Kepoatcd Tomorrow Nlffht. The Bloomington Entertainment! Club gave the best attraction of the season at the opera house last night. If any one evr doubted that Bloom; :gt; i has dramatic and mu&ica iciest superior to that shown che majority of professional companies that doubt was dispelled list night. The audience completely tilled the opera house, and standing room was at a premium. The Breitenbach orchestra, assisted by Mrs. Ross Davis as j hearty applause of every body presi ent. From the moment the certain arose until the close of the final scene the performers had the enthusiastic attention of their audience. The comic opera, "Mascot" is so well known that it is useless to present the argument here. As given last night it was far beyond the expectations of its most enthat it was ever better than expectj ed. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Wade as ! "Prince Lorenzo" and ' Bettina" j were royally received, and their I acting was worthy of the high comjplimeiits paid by the audience. I "Groan'' Adkins was a tyjiical -Ruih-o." and his singing and Jacti tit clearly showed his experience j on the stage. The "Peppo" of Wall Pauley was well given, as was the Prince Frederick" of Dr G Burt Harris. Miss Lou Mathers as "Jennette,,? Miss Fay Spotts as "Annette' and Mrs Robert G Miller as "Fiammetta" performed their parts in a pleasing and natural manner. The "Physician" as given by S L Wilhite was a happy hit, and kept the audience in a roar of laughter. Albert Rott and Albert Seward were satisfactory as" Matteo" and "Carlo' The dancing of pretty little Ethel DeMoss called forth round after round of applause and she was compelled to respond to the demands of the audience for another appearance. The people that were not at the opera house last night missd the he it entertainment by local talent ever given in Bloomington. After the performance was over the requests to have it repeated were so numerous that it was decided to give it again. Tonight the K of P's will celebrate and tomorrow niht "Mascot" will.be repeated. The opera house will doubtless be crowded again. INDICTED. Several Ansv oontington Boys Will at Uncle Sam's Bar ci Justice. A few days ago U. S. Marshal Pollen, of Indianapolis, was in this city for the purpose of summoning witnesses to appear before

the grand jury, May 10th. In answer to these summons about twenty men, some young and some old, some "old sports" and some peaceful citizens, went to Indianapolis to tell just what they knew about any unlawful violation of the revised "statoots." It is now evident that they knew something, for it ie stated that five indictments, good and true, were returned by the grand jury against some well nown, people of this city. Tl is is the outcome of the local Lexow committee's investigation of Marshal Owen, by tat body. P is wei". known that aa-ty violations wore ijiOUj-i nv 'V.n, anu ao assistant L'istrict Attorney Corr lives here he was at " all times fully conversant with the testimony unearthed at hat time, and no doubt made goo 1 use of it. The information wi I come in the nature of a surmise to the parties, as they at all times had no fear of such a course being pursued. The indictments charge the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquors, without a government license.

TO REMODEL. Plans Under Consideration to Remodel the Wain at Street Presbyterian Church Property. Five thousand dollars, to repair and remodel the Walnut Street Presbyterian church. 'That is the amount decided upon by the trustees of that church.T"hey have been in consultation the past few days with some of the leading ladies of the church and came to that conclusion yesterday. To that end Architect Jekyl, a member of the well known firm of Parker & Jekyl of Anderson. Ind.. and who i.-? the architect that planned the new college building, has been written for and is expected here immediately. Mr. Jekyl will examine the present building and report as to whether it would be advisable to make the repairs. There is some doubt existing as to the strength of the present walls, and it is not at all improbable that a new church will be built, where the present one now stands. The church property has been for sale and the price asked $9000. Some of the congregation are in favor of selling the present site, and purchasing a new location. Much depends on what Mr. Jekyl, the architect, will say concerning the present building. If it is decided that the building is substantial enough the work of repairs will be gin just as soon as Mr. Jekyl has drawn the plans. A new furnace will be added, also ' new front of stone and. a new tower will grace the building instead cf th dilapidated one that was ir.jured ii a storm and hf.J to be pr ,-Ly torn down. The r-an most '"vr ,b' mentioned, i- to make thear .i - m ii; tfc rm- builu ad dition at the south end, that will extend to the alley on the West, and to build a recess in the south end of the main building. While Miss Jessie Gentry was crossing the railroad just south ef the depot yesterday morning, in her surrey, the coupling pole broke by reason of the jar occasioned by the wheels striking the rails, permitting the body of the vehicle to strike the earth and smashing the front into fragments.
