A Berlin dramatic editor recently re-
ceived a letter containing a small roy
atty from a Swiss manager, who ex-
planned that one of his subordinates, a
director of a little theater, had been
playing two of the editors operattas
without authority. The Swiss manager
had acted honestly in the matter at the
instigation of his confessor.

Mr.. Royle's play, Captain Impu-
dence." which has just come from a Sc
ries of coast triumphs, is not a lingo
play at ALL 1t deals with the war
against Mexico, but the climax of it's
greatest scene is the capture of the
Americans by the Greasers, and what
is more astonishing, the capture is a
popular one with the audience and
brings people to their feet with cheers.
Edwin Milton Royle, author OF
Friends" says that the success of his
new play, Captain Impudence," which
is shortly to be seen here, is non due
to the months and months of work he
put I'm on the study of Mexico and the
Mexican war. The comedy and the ten
sion of the interest accounts for it's
success. Americans are too busy with
the present to care for the past. They
don't know and don't care whether the
Mexicans dressed in gunny sacks or
hyperbole, or whether Santa Anna had

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Last Saturday an afternoon paper pub
lished a hair-raislng special dispatch" dy
maiD from Boston, Ind. regarding five
victims of vaccination in one family. all Of
whom were expected to die from the effects
of the poison. Careful reading OF subse-
quent issues by several interested parties
fails to elicit any information regarding the
outcome of the dreadful affair, and the
opinion has been freely expressed that the
dispatch was either a hoax or an exaggera-
ton, or that interested parties have sue
ceeded in SURPRISING further mention of
the matter. Under the circumstances is IL
too much TO ask the press TO make efforts
to verify the truth Of the dispatch, or fix
the degree of truth IL contained, and report
the sequel of the cases. in which the general
public Is interested, the medical profession

ing the lives Of five persons. been made in
any town in the State. would the news
papers or the public have been satisfied
with the initial particulars? So. too. with
so extensive a case of poisoning. accident
or railroad wreck. people want to read the
end of the story. And IL the dispatch was
but a scheme TO unjustly bring the time
honored practice OF vaccination into disre-
pue and disfavor, the press. the public and
the boards of health the State over are en-
titled TO know it. Give US the facts

WHEAT OFF A CENT
Other Grain Sympnthixed and De-
clined, While Provisions Made
Independent Gains.

CHICAGO. Jan. with gold bringing IA
per cent premium in New York to-day, ac-
cording to reports circulating here, wheat
became very weak and closed with a loss Of
/ per cent. per bushel since Tuesday. Corn
and oats we're sympathetically weak, but
provisions struck path for themselves, and
closed with gains in all the speculative COM
modities in the line of hog products
The buying spirit with which the wheat
market closed up the old year had all dis
appeared when trading was inaugurated on
this, the first business day of 1896. May
opened at 591lc, but very little could be dis
posed of at the Nc reduction, and it touched
$3.50 before more buyers than sellers APP
peared in the market. The primary reason
for the change in feeling thus revealed was
Bradstreets increase In the visible for the
week of 1,737,000 blu, as against the $4,000
bu increase in the official statement Of
stocks In sight The opening quotations
cabled from Liverpool showed only Ad adj
vance since Tuesday, and the stocks in that
port decrease of only $4,000 hh since Nov.
80. About noon report received from New
York that 100000 gold was coming this
way from London helped the crowd to real
ize that they had surged too easily at the
opening. The Minneapolis and Duluth re-
carloads, compared with 1926 carloads a
week ago on the day succeeding Christmas.
The total clearances from the four princi-
pal Atlantic ports was equivalent to about
$4,000 bu. Minneapolis wired early In the
day that there were hardly any offerings OF
wheat there, and the second cablegrams
brought quotations showing another Ad adj
vance at Liverpool and rise of Cd per quar-
ter at London. The days news as whole
was more favorable for an advance than
decline, but the spectators were evidently
not inclined to view 1t that way. for after
first to break to 59Ssc, 1t was down again TO
$500 at 1915 o'clock After declining to
5S1ac near the end. the closing trades were
at 5S5sG5S2c.
Business in corn was light. The feeling
was heavy on account Of the lack of demand
in the cash department of the trade. The
May price fell from 2Sisc near the start to
27tsG2Sc at the close.
Trading in oats was slow, and the range
in the price for May was confined to 1sc
per bu. The heavy feeling in wheat and
corn helped to make oats heavy. Compared
with Tuesdays closing rate, May left off
to-day at 3-l6c decline.
Provisions opened weak, but recovered and
became both strong and moderately active.
Besides some cOrnering by shorts, there APP
peared to be some buying for long account,
the result of which was the spread of
more confident feeling among the traders
and the rise already referred to as having
is higher than it closed on Tuesday by sc in
January and zoe in May. Lard is .05c higher
for January and .10c for May, and ribs are
up Csc and .0712c, respectively. for January
and May.
