Condemnation Proceedings.

Condemnation proceedings were filed In
the Circuit Court yesterday by the Union
Railway Company to acquire about fifteen
feet adjoining its right of way on Prospect
street for the purpose of elevating its
tracks. Last summer Judge Allen decided
in the controversy between the Union Rail-
way Company and the indianapolis, Shell
byville & Southeastern Traction Company
that the traction company must pass under
the steam road tracks. To do this it was
necessary for the Union Railway Company
to raise its tracks three or four feet. This
necessitates a wider right of way than the
company has, so that a foundation can be
quilt for an embankment, and a petition
was filed to condemn the abutting property
in order to broaden the right of way.

That once seemed possible? Did we not hear

And Just within our reach? Ii was, and vet

And nov live idle in a vain regret:
But still our place is kept. and II Will wait.

No star Is ever lost We once have seen:
We always may be what We might have been.
Since good. the only thought. has life anc

and evil. In ITS nature, Is decay.
And any hour can blot IL all away:
The hopes that lost In some far distance seen
May be the truer life-and this the dream.

MINSTRELSY At ENGLISH'S.
George Primrose and Lew DOckstadel
in Their Last Show Together.

George imrose and Lew Dockstader
were together in a minstrel show for the
last time in this city at Engiish's yester-
day. Next season Dockstader will lead a
company to be put together by Klaw &
Erlanger. and Primrose will go on with an
enterprise of his own, which, he has said.
will be the equal of the Klaw & Erlanger
show. The rivalry will benefit the public.
for its first result, no doubt, will be to
knock the barnacles of. Both Primrose
and Dockstader will have to take lessons
In modernity. Primrose Is the last of the
great dancers OF old-time minstrelsy and
Dockstader Is a smart commentator on
current affairs, but neither of them, as
the years pass, seems able to grasp the
fact that vulgarity no longer is funny.
Talk about women's clothing Is not humor-

The meeting of the teachers insti-

lecture by Rev. Il. j. Shuey, of the

the hour of Prof. Parker.
A telegram was received yesterday
afternoon by Supt. Ferguson from
DIR. Byron W. King, who was to de-
liver lectures and readings this after
noon and evening, announcing that
his wife had been taken suddenly i'll
and that he was compelled to cancel
the date here. This caused much dis
appointment to Supt. Ferguson and
the teachers as well, who had looked
forward to his appearance with pleas
ure.
Thus it was that Rev. Shuey was
asked to speak this afternoon. Prof.
Parker desiring to leave for Boston
at noon tomorrow, his place in the
afternoon will be taken by Prof. {.
w. Foss, who will deliver his lecture
on abraham Lincoln" which is
highly commended by all who have

WARTS AND WEEDS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WISHING AND WORKING.

It is popularity believed that warts can
be wished away. But the farmer who
sat down and tried to clear his field by
wishing the weeds away would soon find
his crops gone. 1t takes working to get
rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe
must put in many long day before he
can take a well earned rest.
1t is singular fact that great many
people treat certain forms of disease as
warts are said to be treated-by wishing.
This is especially so in the case of
