COL" WARD A CHECK WRITER
Arrested for Defrauding q Terre
Haute Hotel.

Sergeant Schwab met the Monon train
which arrived in this city at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning and arrested "Col-" A.
j. Ward, of Washington, d. c., who is
charged with several crooked transactions
in Terre Haute. Ward was asleep on the
train. The story he told, to the effect that
he came to this city to commit suicide, was
not believed. His ticket was a through
one from Chicago to Cincinnati. Later in
the day Charles Baur, proprietor of the
Terre Haute House, of Terre Haute, and
Detective Dwyer, of Terre Haute, reached
the city, and through them the story of
Wards irregularities was learned.
Ward registered at the Terre lHaute
House Thursday night from New Orleans
and was introduced to Mr.. Baur by ex-
State Senator w. E. Mclean, who was
formerly deputy commissioner Of pensions
at Washington. He said he had known Ward
for many years and vouched for him to Mr..
Baur. During the evening Ward expressed
an inclination to see the sights Of the city,
and asked Mr.. Baur to cash his check for
500. He produced check book of the West
End National Bank of Washington, ID. c.,
the stubs of which were made to appear
that. Ward still had balance of $500 to
Mr.. Baur cashed the check. wired the
cashier of the Washington bank and

to his credit in the bank but that he was
wanted in other places for defrauding peo-
pie by the same method. Baur went out
to find Ward, only to learn that he had
taken the 11:20 o'clock train for Chicago.
and had taken notorious woman with
him. Mr.. Baur learned Friday night, when
too late to cause his arrest, that Ward had
stopped at the Great Northern Hotel, but
had taken an early evening train for In
dianapolis, having sent the woman back to
Terre Haute by another train. Mr.. Baur
also learned that Ward had cashed another
hundred-dollar check in Chicago, that he
had purchased a $50 diamond on credit and
had departed without paying his hotel bill.
Mr.. Baur wired superintendent Quigley,
with the result that Ward was captured
here Detective Dwyer returned to Terre
Haute last night with his prisoner. 1t is
said that Ward was once respected cit
iZen of washington. For a year or two
past however, it is said he has been travel

MedicaI Supplies for the Army and
Navy

The War Department has made no ar
engagements for hospital supplies for the
army and navy. AS the season for yellow
fever approaches, many old army veterans
skink immediate steps should be taken to
buy hospital supplies. A prominent Grand
Army veteran said thag he supposed the
government would employ only surgeons as
the hed Cross Society could attend to all
patients suffering with malaria and chiils
and fever with the well known Haag's
Liver Pills and Cold and Fever Capsules.
The Liver Pills would cure all stomach,
kidney apG liver troubles, while the Cold
and Fever Capsules would cure the grip,
chills and fever, a bad cold, neuralgia and
rheumatism. With these two remedies the
army and navy could be supplied with a
medicine in a concentrated form that would
cure all ills, and a compartment could be
pat In the belt of each soldier and sailor
that would contain sufficient of the above
remedies for q months use. The many
cures made by the above remedies have
created such great demand that they

"OUR REGIMENT.

Won Moser's excellent comedy, Our Regiment" received two artistic pre- sentations at the hands of the Hender- son company at the Patton Grand yes terday. The play is one which is thoroughly legitimate in it's comedy, and is entirely devoid of the latter day features unfortunately associated with American farce comedy. It is clean, witty in dialogue, and is, while cumu- lative in interest, thoroughly probable in it's ludicr0us incidents. Our Regi- ment" was first produced in this coun- try by MT. Augustin Daly at his theater in New York John Drew played the part of Guy Warrener, the stuttering British lancer, so admirably acted by MT. Edward NJ Bell yesterday at the Patton Grand. The part is one well suited to the capabilities of MT. Bell, who proves that he is not only an ex- celIent light comedian, but character

 Rev. John Talbot, curate. who finds himself thoroughly out of place in his sOmbre garb, was an impersonation
 which was delightfully humorous. MT. Asa Lee Willard was a manly and good looking Captain FeatherstOne, and the
 low comedy roles, MT. Dobbleson and
 MT. Hilary, were ably sustained by
 Messrs Adams and Bassett. Miss
 Frankie M. Raymond, as Maud Ellaby,
 was irresistibly charming, and Miss
 Nevada Heffner, the Enid Thurston of
 the cast, was q truly impreSSiOnabla
 school girl in love with the martial
 Captain FeatherstOne. Miss Carrie
 Clarke WaTde acted with spirit, and
 made the most of the part of MT. Dob
 binson. The stage setting was admir-
 able. Tonight Sardou's exquisite comedy, "A Scrap of Paper" will be presented at the Patton Grand. A very large and fashionable audience will doubtless witness the performance. It is a work which is entitled to the seri- legitimate drama. SardOu's name alone should attract attention, and '' A Scrap of Paper" is acknowledged to be a rep resentative SardOu play. The cast to be seen tonight is one which could hardly be found fault with by the most critical. Thaht excellent artist, MT. M Bell, will enact the part of Prosper COmamCnt, the globe trotter. Frankie NJ. Raymond will play the part of Suzanne and, Miss Nevada Reff- ner that of the Baroness de Ia Glacier | The Brisemonche will be MT Harry F. l Allen. Miss Carrie Clarke Warde will | play the part of Zenobie. The piece | admits of elaborate stage setting, and | some very handsome scenes will be | shown. "A Scrap of Paper" is a more | play than Our Regiment, and the Henderson company has been awarded great praise for it's presenta- ion.

 At the sess.-n l-st night it was de- cided to red,, the initiation fee to half the regqi-r T. tas during the month of Januai y, as 2n induoement to fill up the new hall, and each member was constituted a committee of one on missionary work for the lodge.
