Particle Stock-Gennett.

1.-The Railroad King" is a comedy
drama, an original theme, political and
hypnotic, the hypnotist being a big
railroad boss. The plot is one of deep
heart interest and the scenes com.
bine intense dramatic scope with fine
sentiment and abundant comedy. The
characters are city types, among them
being a big railroad man who is
forced to right a wrong he has
brought on poor blind girl. One
scene is laid in Wall Street, New
York, and is one of the striking Incl
dents of the play. The Railroad King
has been taken from the book of THE
Lion and the Mouse" and will be pro
duced for the first time on any stage
by the Particle Stock Co., during their
engagement at the Gennett next week
Mr.. Allen Kelly will be seen in uI'
role of the Railroad King.

The Royal Yacht squadron is proba-
bly, the most exclusive club in exist
ence, says the London Gentlewoman.
and, wonderful to relate in this pluto
cratic age, money is quite powerless
to unlock the charmed portals Of the
castle.
One or two millionaires with splen-
did yachts have tried in vain to pass
the ordeal of the periodical ballot,
while men Of no fortune or only just
enough to defray the upkeep of small
yacht have been elected without an
idea of black ball.
The only apparent qualification is
that the candidate must possess a
yacht of his own. but there are other
qualifications much more dinlcult of
attainment by the man Of money. and
it is just here that the question of
blackballing comes in, it must be own
ed. rather refreshingly.
For really one had almost said that
there il no social "holy Of holes" into
which he who is rich cannot penetrate
until one recalls the pleasant circle of
gentlemen who go to make up the

remembers gratefully, just one fnsti-

STEELE PLAYS HIGH
Two Strong EIevens Clash
This Afternoon at Public
School Grounds.
ALLISON is NOT PLAYING.
BY Tort.

High school is taking the field this
afternoon against the Steele high
school of Dayton with its strongest
lineup, and the Red and White rooters
are sure Of victory. When Steele ar
rived here this morning it was greeted
by a band of eleven pieces. These in
struments were footed by enthusiastic
members of the high school orchestra.
What they lacked in harmony was
more than made up by noise.
Allison, the crack halfback of the
local eleven, Is not in the game this af-
ternoon on account of a sore arm, but
his place is being taken by Shaffer,
who is regarded as a find" Shaffer
is new at the game. but has been play
ing brilliantly in practice. He is as
fast and nervy as Allison and has the
added advantage of being heavier. AL
lison, 1t was thought, would be missed,
because he is one of the best high
school players in the state.

EarIham Sends Man Into the
Camp of Enemy to Sc
cure Information.
TWO TEAMS CLASH TODAY.
EARLHAM NOT EXPECTING TO
WIN BUT HOPES TO HOLD TER
RE HAUTE TEAM TO A Low
SCORE.
BY Tort.

The Earlham football team left this
morning for Terre Haute where it will
meet the fast Rose Poly team this af-
ternoon. The eleven was given a rous-
ing send off and was told to fight the
enemy until the last ditch. Confidence
in the Quakers winning the contest Is
way below par, but the Earlham stu
dent body expects the eleven to hold
Rose to a low score.
All this week the Quakers practiced
Rose formations, which were secured
about two weeks ago by Hancock, one
of the hospital squad, who made a
scouting trip to Terre Haute. Coach
Vail is confident that his men will be
able to break up the Rose plays, unless
Clark has introduced some new ones.
All this week the scrubs practiced
Rose formations, especially forward
passes, quarter back runs and double
passes. These were hard for the regu
lars to solve at first, but Thursday and
Friday the varsity succeeded in break
ing up the Rose attack in a very credi-
table manner.
big" Macy, tackle on Earlham's '04
championship team, has been coaching
the linomen all week and as result
OF his able instruction the play of the
forwards has improved greatly. The
men have been charging low and hard
and have been successfully stopping
the scrubs attack.

How These Monsters Are Caught In
the Gulf of Mexico.
There is no more thrilling sport than
harpooning the devilfish, the giant ray
or manta. which has its home in the
gulf Of Mexico. Some Of these fish,
which are very grewsome to behold,
measure from twelve to eighteen feet
and weigh more than 1 500 pounds. 1t
requires tremendous skill to harpoon
them and infinite tact to land them
once they are struck. 1t is not unusu-
al for the fish to run for three hours
or more. and they can tow a ten ton
sloop.
The fish Is willy and will often go to
the bottom to rest. to prevent which he
has to be kept in a constant state Of
panic by hauling the tow in close to
him. At a moment Of weakening an
other harpoon and a rife shot will dis
patch him.
During a recent run 1t was three
hours before the cable could be fas-
tened to the boats windlass In order
to pull the devilfsh under the bow.
where another lily iron was secured
in him. and then followed a rush Of
extraordinary impetuosity. Following
this method and only after there were
three harpoons in his back and a shark
hoop attached to one ripper was it
felt that he was secure. Half an hour
later his struggles were finally stilled
by lucky rife shot in the head.
AS night came on the sharks began
to come in and long after dark could
be heard fighting over the stranded
carcass.-Illustrated London News.

on foul. The affair wound up in a
regular prize fight. After Americas
had won the first fall Olson started
rough house tactics, and hit Americas
in the nose, forcing him off the mat,
and the police had to interfere. The
westerner was given another chance
and rushed at Americas, grabbed him
by the throat and butted him in the
eyes with his head and used the knee
to the groin. 1t took the combined eff
forts of dozen policemen to pull him
off and Referee Tim Hurst gave the
bout to Americas. The men came to-
gether at 9:55, and exactly II IA min
utes later Referee Tim Hurst tapped
Americas on the shoulder, indicating
that he had won the first fall. When
the men came on the mat the west
erner wriggled out of a half Nelson
and became the top man. The cham
pion remained the bottom man until
the finish. Olson tried hammer-locks,
half-Nelsons and leg holds, but Amer
icus broke every hold of his adversary
with the utmost ease. After eleven
minutes of wrestling Olson had ham,
merlock, which Americas, after having
one shoulder pinned to the mat, broke
and became the upper man. 1t was
here that Americas demonstrated his
ability as a wrestler while in a sitting
position, throwing his left arm back,
and pinning Olsons right shoulder to
the mat he worked back with his hip
and forced the other shoulder to the
mat.
