A Gift to Indianapolis.

William Watson Woolen is possessed
of an idea worthy of the pioneer who
loves his native city. He hopes 10 hand
down to future generations a piece o.
woodland that will be representative in a
large measure of the primeval forest that
once covered central Indiana. In this
forest of fifty-oGd acres beautifully To-
Gated on Fall creek. he has built two sub
stantial and roomy log houses. duplicates
OF those which he knew az child of the
pioneer. This woodland, with its native
forest trees, its myriad forms of wild life
and it's typical pioneer cabins he offers to
the city Tor park purposes. He stipulates
wisely. We think, that it shall not be
used for the ordinary park pleasures-t,at

grounds tthese are amply provided for

that the virgin character OF the woodland

Speculation is rife in Winchester con-
corning the proba bility of a local option
election being held here some time in the

voters in paying up their poll taxes last

both sides are preparing for a contest.

there have been many prosecutions for
alleged violations of the Byrd and local

One Of the pleasing features of the
production Of the Bohemian Girl" this
week at the Newark Theatre is the ap-
pearance of little Catherine James, of

of the opera is supposed to be but a
child. Airline is later taken by Miss

The little one has also been trained
In singing, and although she has taken
