ticuIturaI Society.

The Indiana Horticultural Society opened
its two days annual meeting in the rooms
of the State Board Of Agriculture yester-
day morning, and was in session all day
and last evening. In the east room were
exhibits of delicious fruits apples pre-
dominating. The odor of the apples and
other fruits attracted scores of people to

in fruit growing which Indiana fruit
raisers had to learn. He pointed out the
fact that about Sl,0o0,O00 worth of apples
were shipped into Indiana last year, and
said he hoped to see the day when Indiana
will be able to raise all its own fruit and
have a surplus to ship out. He deplored
the fact that the apple crop this year was
snort In lnQlana because OF the insects
early in the year and the prolonged
drought

PUBLIC WEDDING TONIGHT
1T WILL TAKE PLACE At THE EIKS'
SHOW IN THE CYCLORAMA.
The Cries of the Bankers Heard
Throughout the Bui!ding-NO
Place for N .Cheap Man."

eff you will only come little faster we
will take it from you quicker" howled a
barker at the wonderland of Elkdom"
last night. "Come little faster, faster,
faster, for we do need the money SOL he
sang i'm the exuberance inspired by the con-
slant chinking of silver in the money box.
Now. look here, sister" said new
conner to one Of the pleasant-faced gold
extractors who are omnipresent, II have
taken a chance on everything in the show
but Bert Feibleman. and he won't stay still
long enough. On my word 1 haven't a
cent" and ne started to lose himself in the
crowd. She looked him over with scorn in
her eye. You really did not look like a
cheap man when you came in" she said.
and what could the poor man do?
The biggest crowd of the week, so far,
went to the Cyclorama building last night.
1t came early and stayed late. 1t spent its
money freely. and to all appearances en-
joyed itself. 1t submitted to arrest and to
judgment by the stern-voiced presence in
the court of Elkdom without a murmUr. 1t
chewed candy and munched peanuts with
circus-like joy and left with backward
looks of regret.
One of the pleasant features of the even
ing was the presentation of jeweled Elk
pins to Chief Coots, of the fire department,
Assistant Chief Thomas Barrett and Cap
tain Ernst. The pins were purchased by
members of the department, and, since the
recipients of the presents are all of them
interested in the success of the Wonder
land" the contributors had the pins pre-
sented during the show. By request, Bert
Feibleman made the presentation speech.
Miss Pauline Sullivan drew to the minia-
ture stage a good-sized audience, who en-
jOyed her clever song and dance act. Mabel
Halter, in a similar turn, gained her share
of applause, and the DOnohue brothers en-
tertained with tumbling.
A unique feature of tO-night's programme
will be the performance of a marriage
ceremony by Squire Nickerson. Two young
people have signified their intention of be-
ginning life together at the Wonderland to-
night. and the ceremony will take place
some time early in the evening.
Many visitors from other cities in the
State were present last night.

against the United States. punishable By
severe penalties, including disfranchise-
ment and disqualification to vote or to hold
any Office of honor or emolument under the
United States, or any State or Territory

The United States statutes as interpreted
by the courts, define pOlygamy so as TO
cOnfine the term to cases where the mar
riage ceremony can be proved Since polyg-

none but Oath-bound MOrmons are per

impossible to prove such ceremonies Hence
the necessity of prohibiting polygamous
living I'm order to put a stop TO the evil,
