The Man Of the Hour"

George Broadhursts play. The
Man of the Hour" which will be
seen here for the first time at the
Gennett next Saturday matinee and
night, has stirred up more interest
and excited more favorable comment
for the American drama than any
play seen in this country in very
many years. 1t has frequently been
called a drama of today and quite
truthfully SO, because it deals with
the subject of municipal graft OF
which there is no topic of more vital
interest to the citizens of this coun-
try at the present time. 1t is a play
that pulsates with big emotion. pow
erful human interests and tender rO-
nance. 1t is a story of thrObbing
heart beats centered in a material
topic of all absorbing and universal
moment. The characters are types
of individuals familiar in the daily life
of every American, no matter in what
part of the country he lives. The play
has had an extraordinary success,
having had a run of two years at the
Savoy Theatre, New York City.

WANT SQUARE DEAL
Short Railroad Lines AIIege
Discrimination of Mail
Carrying Rates.
CONGRESS APPEALED TO.

Washington, March 9.-An effort is
being made before Congress to secure
a just apportionment of the compensa-
ton now given by the government for
the transportation of United States
mail by rail. More than 300 short
line" railroads have joined i'll a petit
tion to congress for REIMBURSEMENT of
the pay for carrying mails. These
short line roads are Independent lines
and most of them reach towns villages
and hamlets not readily accessible by
any other route. These lines now re-
ceive S42.1J per mile per year for car
rying 200 pounds of mall per day and
S64.13 per mile per year when the
amount of mail averages 800 pounds
per day.
The figures show that the larger
roads receives anywhere from two to
four times as much anywhere from
two to four times as much as the short
lines for mail carriage. and in addition
tnCy also receive compensation. for
carrying the railway postal cars.
1t is pointed out that a good many
short line" roads have declined TO car
ry the mails at the compensation Civ
en- by the government. the declinatiOn
resulting in inconvenience to the gov
eminent and embarrassment TO the
public. Thus far the postoffice de-
partment has not been called upon for
recommendation respecting the pro
posed REIMBURSEMENT and it is improba-
bic that definite action will be taken
on the matter at the present session of
congress.

Turn Your Face
Into Dollars
Many a Man Has Failed Because His
Face Was Picture of Calamity.

1t takes sunshine to produce a rose,
a perfect rose. And SO man, to be
successful must have sunshine in
side The life which has it not, which
has no health and no happiness, is
sour, surly, pessimistic, and a failure.
The world already has too many vine
gar faces that breathe ill-will and
strife. The world wants joy, comfort
sunshine. and will cling to the man
who has it, who radiates gladnesS and
triumph wherever he is and under all
circumstances.
Some people have genius for
seeking out the disagreeable, the
crooked, the bad and the ugly. These
are the destroyers; they travel i'll
schools, they herd together for they
love their kind, and the cheerful part
Of the world will have nothing to do
with them.
And why is it that so many peddle
disaster, knowing at the same time
that if they do. their lives will be ru-
ined? Some people cannot help it,
for pessimism usually comes from bod
lily disorders. and this cannot always
be prevented The stomach, for in
stance, is the most common cause of
discomfort, sour face, recklcssness,
disgust and lack of ambition. A bad
stomach-there is the secret Of many

ADJUSTMENTS


actress. Ann Hamilton with her COM
pany OF four, is winning general APP
probation in her Mexican story, Beg
gars" at the LETTERS this week. This
young actress is perhaps starring in
as difficult part as might be imag-
ined, and the fact that she must go
through the fall on the staircase
twice daily is enough TO appal the
heart of the most courageous. The
whole piece is one that places the
principal, Charita in a very strenuous
position and the difficulties of the role
are evident. The actress declares,
however, that she is wholly satisfied
with her work, and that the piece was
OF her own conception that is nearly
so. for the plot of the story was sug-
gested while in San Antonio, Texas,
in company with her sister, some
time ago. 1t was in that city that the
fertile mind of Ann Hamilton was i'm
pressed by the life of young Next
can girl whose career was most pa
thetic, and through which was inter
woven an affair Of tragic and passion
ate love, even the same as later de-
deloped in "Beggars.'

The MAXIM GUN.
Curious Origin of This Terrible Engine
Of Destruction.

" SSShi S|liSii'
The origin Of the Maxim gun was
somewhat curious. Mr.. Maxim (Sir
Hiram) after the close of the great
civil war IN America was visiting one
Of the southern battleields. He picked
up Springfield rifle and began firing
al a target. He soon discovered, to his
amazement, that his shoulder was all
black and blue with the recoil. This
set him thinking. and he soon CON
ceived the idea of utilizing this force
in a gun which would fire automatic
ally.
He went to London full of his idea,
but no one would listen to him. In
birmingham the chief man in fac
tory refused to make a bolt gun.
In despair Mr.. Maxim packed up his
trunks and went to Paris. In two
weeks the work was done. This gun
Mr.. Maxim exhibited in London in
1855. He spoke of it then as the gun
Of the future. 1t IS now the gun OF the
present. 1t is wonderful gun and u
deadly one. BY adjusting the indica-
tor it will fire bullets at any rate from
one per minute to GOO.
This terrible weapon is started by
the firing OF the first shot. After that
it works itself and will keep going as
long as cartridges can be fed into the
machine. When one belt of 333 is eX-
hausted. all that is necessary is to
hook on another
When the British government gave
an order for the gun they stipulated
that it should not weigh more than a
hundred pounds and should be capable
of firing a thousand rounds in four
minutes. Mr.. Maxim produced a gun
which weighed thirty-five pounds and
fred 1000 rounds in three minutes

WANT BOOKS OPENED
People of Henry County Would
Look at Records TWen-
ty Years Back.
QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED

New Castle, Ind. March 9.-Public
clamor may yet compel the commits
soners of Henry county to employ an
expert to go over the county records
for a period Of twenty years back. The
same grand jury last October that in
dicted the county commissioners for
violating the law relating to the letting
of bridge contracts also recommended
that the commissioners employ an OK
pert accountant to go over the books.
Under the present procedure the
county books are examined quarterly
by the commissioners. The COM
plant is made that the commissioners
are not expert accountants and could
not find defects or mistakes if they ex-
listed.
During the trial and acquittal of the
commissioners on the charge Of viOlat-
ing the statute relating to letting
bridge contracts great stress was laid
on the fact that the Couny commits
sioners were only honest farmers
with common school education" and
were not supposed TO Know what pro
file and survey We're as related to let
ting a bridge contract. Those de
manding all investigation are now ask
ing. Does not the same rule apply rel
ative to them examining the books
