Peak Sisters Furnish hng-c-
nIent.

Tuesday evening under the
auspices of the ladies OF the
Presbyterian church, was pre-
scented a most laughable comedy
entitled the Bachelors Ban
quet. The actors in the play
were from among the young peo-
pie OF Miller and the histrionic
ability displayed was surprising
as well as pleasing. The play
itself represented an old gentle
man and a foolish young one
both falling in love with the
photograph OF a girl whom they
had never seen. The actors
meet atran informal dinner in
the young bachelors apartment
and after indescribable confusion
and trouble between one OF the
young bachelors and his sweet
heart and her mother, the affair
turns out smoothly by the dis
covery that the proposed moth
ip.law is the original Of the much
discussed photograph and the
old gentleman carries OF the
hOnors.

of Major Pomroy was certainly
a marked success. His interpre-
tation OF the part of an old gen

a most laughahle character.

in Miller.
The Peak Sisters followed with
a short, laughtpr-producing en-
tertainment that rounded out
a very pleasant evening. Fea-
lures of the evening were songs

this on an imaginary condition vaguely

that the calamity howler can't get an

There Is plenty ot money In the

There is no panic In sight. There has
been a tendency towards overcapitali-

reaping the harvest of their folly. bui

the Republican organization during the

care TO lead the fight in another
strenuous campaign now that no one
10 whom he is strongly attached, per-
sonally, Is likely 10 be the candidate.
In shrewdness and In ability to get
votes Mr.. Hanna will be hard TO re-
place. To him 1t was q practical

ness methods as he thought necessary

Whether he has any purpose Of maxi
ing a fight for the nomination for him
self is a question which the people
have not settled to their entire satls-
faction, but we do not think that his
choice would be a happy one. Like
Quay. he is great political manager,
but he has displayed certain qualities
which would not grace the presidency.
But with his shrewdness we are in
clined to think that whatever ambition
he may entertain, his knowledge Of
popular opinion Is such that he will
not make fight with the best pros
pect OF losing.
We shall go into the next campaign

mittee. Perry Heath viii retire from

CREDITORS CLAIM
DOWIE WAS SOLVENT.
When Bankrupt Proceed.
ings Against Prophet OF
Zion Were Begun

Chicago, Dec 5.--suonge.' proof of
the fact that all of John Alexander
Dowie's creditors are not a unit in the
desire to have his estate administered
by the bankruptcy court has been
given. Seven creditors. representing
claims OF more than $4,000. filed an
answer in the United States district
court in which they asked Judge
Kohlsaat to inquire into the question
of Dowie's solyency at once. They de-
MED that the head of Zion City is in
solvent or that he was in that condi-
tion when the bankruptcy proceedings
were begun against him, and they also
averred that Dowie should not be de-
clared bankrupt for any cause set
forth in the original petition. The
lawyers who represent these seven
creditors declare that additional claims
amounting close to 100000. which
united in the contest against the bank
ruptcy proceedings. They claim that
Dowie can pay dollar for dollar
simultaneously with the filing OF
these objections attorneys represent
ing the 100000 claim of Samuel
Stevenson, Dowie's brother-in-law, an
nounced that they would appear in the
federal court with Dowies represen-
tatives to ask that the original peti.
TONERS be required to give an indem-
nifying bond in the sum of 5000. 600
This request will be made, it is said
for the purpose of having something on
which to hold those who brought the
bankruptcy petition responsible in the
event the case is dismissed on a SHOW
ing Of Dowie's solvency.

THEN AND NOW.

The Sussex Republican in speaking
OF the Union Republican tender and
its declination says:
or course the Unions are anxious
this time. Two years ago # was the
Regulars whose tenure Of Office was
expiring. This time there are Union
ofticc holders whose terms expire and
now Il is the Regulars turn.
II will be remembered that state
Audtor Norman ana state Treasurer
Burris. Regulars. were endorsed. but
Congressman BAN was not. but de-
feated by the nomination OF William
Michael Byrne. Now this time a
Union Republican Governor and his
Secretary of state and the Insurance
Commissioner and other State officials
viii step down and out after election
and are therefore anxious that some
compromise be made that win provide
for them. In fact It Is rumored that
most anybody will be endorsed by the
Unions for Governor who will retain
the present Secretary OF state In his
ofiice. The Insurance Commissioner Is
also desirous OF q recollection. The
Regulars win keep this IN mind and
remember their treatment the last cleo
tion. AT that time the Regulars were
notified that their help would not be
needed this election and the Regulars
cannot be blamed for taking them az
their word.
Immediately following the last geu-
eral election the leader of the Union
Republican party In an interview de-
clared that he had "excised" DR.. Bail.
and would therefore control the Fed
eral patronage. lie Is now exercised
over the prospect that some of his
friends may be "exclsed."
