A BIG MOOSE CLASS
Eighty-four New Members
Were Taken Into Lodge
Last Evening.
KIRKMAN RIDES THE GOAT

Eighty-four new members were initi-
ated into the Loyal Order of Moose last
evening, the event being celebrated by
the presents of practically the entire
membership of the local lodge and Wis
iting delegations from New Castle and
Anderson. In fact the attendance was
so large that it was necessary at the
last moment for the officials to trans
fer the meeting to the Knights of Pyth-
las hall owing to the insufficient ca
pacity of the Druids hall.
State Senator Roscoe E. Kirkman
was selected as the candidate on whom
to exemplify the work. The Anderson
lodge No. 1, degree team gave the
work.
A delegation from New Castle was
present and each member wore a large
American Beauty rose. Among the
we'll known visiting members of the
order present were: J. B. O'Brien, OF
ST. Paul, Supreme dictator; Rodney
Brandon. indianapolis. supreme secre-
tary; DR.. Carl Winterpast, dictator OF
the Indianapolis lodge; DR.. William
Coffman Of Muncie and Carl Hartman,
connected with the national organizers

GOOD BLOOD.

Given good, clean, healthy blood
Nature will do the rest with any case
of catarrh. inflammatory rheumatism.
scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils,
pimples, scrofula, or skin disease of
any kind. Good blood invariably
means vigorous appetite, good diges-
ton and strength.
Thus it stands to reason that an ef-
fective "alterative" or blood purifier,
while it will not cure all diseases, will
help in fighting any disease and will
cure those mentioned above, all of
which comes from bad blood.
Forty years ago DR.. A. B. Simpson,
of Richmond, was known as one of the
most successful physicians in three
states. His success was founded al
most exclusively on one prescription,
the most powerful blood purifier ever
known. After his death this prescrip-
ton was regularly put up as DR.. A.
B. Simpsons Vegetable Compound.
1t has been used extensively all over
the country and in forty years has
never failed, even in that most dread
full Of all blood diseases, syphilis in
it's worst stage. And when an altera-
tive will do that, it, of course cleans
and rebuilds blood affected with other
troubles. Simpsons Vegetable Com
pound is purely vegetable and as
harmless as it is effective. 1t is sold
at 81 per bottle at all drug stores.

my six year old daughter had tho

we did not know it. By scratching she
caused large sores which were irritating.
Her body was a complete sore but it was

but it did not help her and l tried sew

DR.. Frederick A. Cook wore a wreath
of roses during his triumphal entry
into New York harbor. The young
Brooklyn woman who presented him
with it meant we'll enough, but, strict
ly speaking, the rose wreath is not
triumphal in significance Roman gen.
tlemen used to wear it only on con-
vivial occasions. 1t was a descendant
to the original wooden fillet, tied tight
ly around the head, with a view to
mitigating the effects of intoxication
AS luxury grew, mere wool seemed
paltry, and all sorts of flowers which
had the regulating the effects of intox-
ication. AS INSTITUTED, roses being
esteemed the choicest. But it was an
offense punishable with Imprisonment
to be seen in the streets with the
wreath OF roses on.

Chicago's fire department authorities
are rejoicing over a court decision up.
holding an ordinance compelling thea
ter owners to pay the salaries of the
city's firemen stationed in playhouses.
This victory Of the city will probably
put stop to the talk of replacing the
regular uniformed smoke eaters with
amateurs hired by the managers, a
proposition put forward in some quar-
tiers where the horrible Iroquois disas-
ter of six years age has been forgotten.
The court holds that the ordinance pro
viding for theater firemen is for the
protection of the public. and it is clear
ly within the right of the city to exer.
else its police powers in its enforce
ment.

In ElkS Circles This Morning
The Greatest Excite
ment Reigned.
BONDSMEN MUCH ALARMED
FRIENDS OF THE ACCUSED ARE
TRYING TO CALM ALL FEARS
BY SAYING MEREDITH HAS
GONE OUT HUNTING.

Where is Sheriff Linus Meredith?
His three bondsmen, prominent
members of the Elk lodge. who by 4
friendly interest in him. prevented
the sheriff of the county from being
served bean float in the Elks' jail,
would like to know, as he left the city
this morning as if by magic. Sheriff
Meredith was arrested by the Elks
Monday morning for criminal negli-
gence" and released soon afterwards
when his friends gave bond for his ap-
pearance at the Elk lodge tomorrow
evening, to stand trial.
Rumor Was Denied.
His sudden disappearance from the
city however, has been the general
cause for alarm. and unless he gives
himself up tomorrow evening by 7:3O
o'clock, he will forfeit his friends
bond. 1t was reported early this
morning that he went hunting. but
this rumor was later denied.
1t has been learned that at the con-
sultation with his attorneys yester-
day MI Meredith asked that Judge
Fox be prevented from sitting on the
bench, because Mr.. Meredith does not
believe he can get fair trial. Mr..
Meredith says that His Honor Is
prejudiced because he has seen the
gray. striped, skin-tight trousers.
which the accused wore for several
days, and which will be used as evil
dence against him. The pants" will
furnish most damaging evidence to
the defendants character, because it
is alleged that he changed the direc-
ton of the stripes. It is also under
stood that the prosecution will exer-
else its right to summarily remove
jurors, because it is said they have
been tempered with.
