Indianapolis is TO be honored in the near
future by visit from that eminent states
man and philosopher, Jerry Simpson, of
Medicine Lodge. Kan.. (which he don't
wear socks.n He has informed the local
branch of the Citizens Alliance that they
may surely expect him some time between
now and May ]. The Citizens Alliance, by
the way, is something new to the Indianap-
oils public, though it has beeI in existence
here some months. On Saturday it acver-
tised for one thousand men to attend it's
meeting at the Cyclorama building yester-
day afternoon. After considerable diff

the meeting, which consisted of four men
and a small boy, earnestly engaged in dis

along at most opportune time, and Mr.
Beaumont seized upon il with avidity.

and edited by Ralph Beaumont, it will be
seen that Mr.. Beaumont now as heretofore,

his health.
The objects of the Alliance are very sim

of the work it has before il, but
