at Towle's

The Morris-Thurston company be-
gan three weeks stand at the Towle
opera house last night and gave as
their initial production, "A Man of the
Mountains .
This company Is far the best popular
priced stock company which ever Wis
tied Dowagiac. The production given

cent attractions now touring the coun-
try in one night stands.
The Man of the Mountains" is a
comedy drama fashioned along the lines

their class. Despite this similarity this
show is a good one in more than one
sense of the word
William B. Morris and Miss Grace

are decidedly capable people. They are
assisted by some really clever players.
Between acts high class specialties are
presented. There is singing and dane

BELIEVE THAT BOTH
WILL RUN TOGETHER
Republicans Give Out Legislative
Estimate Which They Say Will
Return Senator Hemenway to
Washington, But Democrats Also
Are Sure.

indianapolis, Nov. 2.-The eve of the
election finds boths parties confident of
victory. The democrats are cock sure
Of carrying the state for Bryan and
Marshall by from 10000 to $4,000. The
republicans are equally sure and double
the figures.
81 am confident that both Bryan and
Marshall will carry Indiana by plu-
raIity ranging from 10000 to 25,OOO,"
said stokes Jackson, democratic state
chairman, today;. 81 think the entire
democratic state ticket Will be elected
81 believe Judge Taft Will have a
plurality of at least 10000 In Indiana" /"
said James p. Goodrich, republican
state chairman, sand that Watson will
be elected by more than 10000"
Neither chairman probably believes
his own figures but both are sure of
victory. Jackson is perhaps more
sanguine than Goodrich. If Bryan and
Marshall lose the state, he will be the
most mistaken man in Hoosierdom. He
sincerely believes that the democrats
have the election won.
Though much has been heard about
Marshall running ahead of Bryan and
Watson running behind Taft, there was
a growing belief today that the candi
dates on the tickets would win or lose
together Earlier it was predicted that
there were 40 600 voters difference be-
tween the presidential and gubernator-
iaI nominees. Now the number is re-
or 6.N

In Superior Court.
TWO MEN SUFFER ALIKE

I, Modjeska, and G. C. White are
Charles F. Won Rhode and
John Kovasy in a personal injury suit
which has been filed against the Chi
cago, Lake Shore & South Bend Elec-
trio Railway company.
The peculiar thing about the case is
that both the accident to Charles F,
Won Rhode and John Kovasy happened
in the same manner and same COM
plant without an alteration except for
the names of the plaintiffs will do for
both cases.
Boarded Car at Gary.
Both of the plaintiffs got on the car
at Gary and purchased tickets to Ham
mond. They were both on the car
when the motorman made an effort to
cross the tracks of the Calumet Term
inal railway.
A Calumet Terminal train was seen
approaching at a rate of twenty miles
an hour. The motorman brought his
car to halt right across the tracks
He first tried to back off the tracks and
then tried to go ahead.
When he got through with his ma
neuvers the rear of the car stood over
the tracks. The conductor ordered al
of the passengers to leave the car as
quickly as possible.
Plaintiffs Made a stab at 1t.
The plaintiffs in the case attempted
TO leave the car as they had been di-
rected to do, and in so doing they botf
fell to the ground below and both OF
their heads struck the rails of the Cal
umet Terminal tracks and both were
injured so that they lost much valuable
time.
They were both compelled to pay ou
money for medical attention and the,
both want $4,000 damages. If the tive
men had been siaamese twins the,
could not have had an experience tina
was so similar.
The case was filed in the Lake su
perior court before Judge Virgil S
Reiter.
