"Humpty Dumpty."

Humpty Dumpty, Dickson & Mus
tard,s revival of the famous comedy
pantomime will be seen at the Gen
nett next Tuesday night. The COM
pany gave complete successes in the
engagement here last year and is
stronger and better this season than
ever before.
Beautiful scenery, pretty chorus
girls and many specialties add spec
ial interest to the performance and
there is no advance in price of admis-
sion. The Washington, Ind, Herald
of recent date, says:
James Ronelli, the comedian who
plays the part of the clown in Hump
ty Dumpty at the Opera House this
evening is young actor who has won
considerable fame as a comedian, hav-
/ ing appeared in such we'll known mu-
steal comedies as Fantasma, Devils
Auction and Eight Bells. He has
been an acrobat since his fifth year
and his father and grandfather were
acrobats before him. Humpty Dump
ty gives Mr.. Ronelli a good chance
! to introduce his droll eccentric come
t dy for which he has become noted. He
is surrounded by an all-star company
of singers, dancers, come dams and &C
robats and a strong chorus of pretty
girls

HAILSTONES.
The Part Electricity Is Said to Play
In Their Formation.

The Part Electricity Is Said to Play
In Their Formation.
The formation of hail through cleo
trical action, according to the theory of
scientists attached to the weather bu-
reau at Washington, IS an interesting
and even wonderful process.
The wind draws out a cloud into a
long, narrow strip. In that form, Ow-
ing to the great amount of surface ex-
posed to the air, the cloud evaporates
rapidly, and the rapid evaporation pro-
duces intense cold. Dry particles of
snow are then formed, and these by
friction with the water drops, quickly
become charged with negative cleo
tricity. But the water drops them
selves carry positive electricity, and,
since negative attracts positive, a film
of water is formed upon each snow
particle and is instantly frozen into a
layer of Ice.
At this thickness it's outer surface re-
mains moist, the water not freezing
there so rapidly, whereupon the cleo
trical charge changes from negative to
positive, and the particle is repealed by
the water drops anu driven 10 the outer
parts of the cloud. Here the increased
cold covers it with snow again, and
friction charges it anew with negative
: electricity. Repulsion is now once
more changed for attraction, and the
particles rush back into the cloud, re.
ceiving upon their surfaces another
film of water, which is turned into sec.
ond ice layers.
Thus the growing hailstone darts zig.
gag through the clouds, piling up its
alternate layers of snow and ice until
gravitation gains control and sends it.

WAITING UPON GOD
THEME OF EVANGELIST
Interest in Revival at United

FRIDAY NIGHTS SERVICE.

Much interest is being shown in the
revival meetings conducted in the L.
B. church by Evangelists Shannon ana
Eward. Mr. Shannon theme Friday
night was waiting Upon God; It's
Meaning and Results" He said that
in the study of words he found that ito
wait upon meant ito trust in and
that the original idea was Ito twist
rope" The ropes of that time were
made of grass and of course the more
spires that were worked into a rope
the stronger it would be. A rope is
intended to link or tie something to
something else. So ito trust in or
or bound to Him by the living union of
faith, love and devotion.
Isaiah says that they that wait upon
the Lord shall change their strength;
they shall mount up on wings as ca

no defeat They live above the
storms and do not complain all the
time about the limitations Of their en-
vironment. They'll either change the
environment or change. locations. In
stead of singing How tedious and
Tasteless,'' they sing Il am dwelling on
the mountain where he golden sun
light CLEANS, DER a land whose won
drous beauty far exceeds my fondest
dreams" They are the radiant God
controlled optimists whose every vibra-
ton is life giving and full of inspira-
ton.

FATHER AND SON.
Pathetic Tragedy of the War Between
the States.

Not all the sad stories of wartime
come from the battlefield. Many ii
heartbreak is not recorded on the list
of the killed and wounded. The civil
war knew no more tragic occurrence
than the following incident, taken
from the New York Sun: A soldier
had enlisted from his home in Georgia,
where his father remained undisturbed
through the struggle. The young man
fought through the war without a
scratch, save slight wound which
left him a little deaf. This affliction
he never mentioned in his letters.
After the surrender he sent his ia
ther word that he would reach home
about a certain date. Travel then was
uncertain, and he could not tell just
when he would arrive.
His father prepared to receive him.
He had brought out the best plate,
which had been secreted for a long
time, and with gold which had been
exhumed he bought such substantials
and delicacies as the southern market
at that time afforded. AS many OF the
old time neighbors as were living in
the vicinity were invited to the home
coming.
The young soldier arrived on the
plantation the night before the earliest
date he had mentioned. 1t was late,
and the family had retired. but the
dog heard the noise and began to bark.
The sound reused the father who rose
and got his shotgun. The country was
Overrun at the time with stra gglers
and sneak thieves. The father, gun in
hacd, went to the door. saw the APP
preaching figure and challenged it.
The young man, being deaf, made no
reply, but still advanced, whereupon
the father raised his gun and fired.
His son fell, shot through the heart.
It was a pitiful sight to see that al
most crazcd father carrying his life
less son into the home which had been
made ready to welcome him. The
next day the guests arrived. Instead
Of joyously greeting the returned sol
der they gazed at the still form
wrapped in the flag for which the
young man had bravely fought. Ey-
cry private burial ground had in it a
grave made by the war, but no funera,
like that ever took place in the vicinity
or possibly in the whole south.

ANXIOUS FOR GYMNASTICS.
PUPILS WANT CLASSES ORGAN
lied AND GAMES STARTED
FIRST MONTH ENDED FRIDAY
OTHER SCHOOL NEWS.

fhe school council held it's regular
meeting on Thursday afternoon and
got a good start in the transaction OF
business. Two recommendations of
the social committee were considered
and approved. The one was to give a
school concert. II agreeable to the
teachers and Prof. Earhart, work in
this direction will begin at once. The
other was to make an effort to have a
more systematic report of school news
in the daily press, in which the work
of all the schools Of the city should re.
ceive notice. The committee on gen
eral exercises urged that the council
again make an effort to secure a course
in domestic science in the Garfield
school. The committee on physical
education will recommend the purchase
OF material for the gymnastic classes
and for the games In the gymnasium
at the next meeting.
Want Gymnastie Glasses.
Pupils are anxious that the gymnas
tic classes should be organized and
that the indoor games should begin

able they will be encouraged to play
out Of doors. Tennis is still quite
popular with the Garfield pupils, and
they are on hand on high school even
ings to get a chance to play if the
courts are not all in use.
First Month Ends.
The first month of the term ended
be placed on the cards by Wednesday
of next week and notices will be seat
to all parents whose children have not
done satisfactory work.
Practice Continued.
The practice of reporting all pupils
each week who are unsatisfactory in
their work or department will be con
tinued this term. In the department.
tai school there is danger of a pupil
giving undue attention to his favorite
study ana thus neglect other lines
equally important. His attention is
called to this condition and he is urged
weekly to properly adjust his time.
Minor Notes.
The orchestra met for practice Fri
day evening. They are getting start
ed nicely.
Prof. w. c. Conrad went to Indian
