NIGHT RIDERS BUSY.
They Are Interfering Between Land
lord and Tenant in Indiana.

Washington, Ind, April 14.-''Night
riders are terrorizing land owners
and tenants in the vicinity of Harri-
mans Ferry, south of this city.
William Schrolucke. a large owner
in that neighborhood. reported that
twenty men on horseback visited all
his tenants and informed them that
if they had greater rent than one
third of the crop raised, their crops
would be moved down before they
became ripe. Farming machinery be-
longing to three tenants on another
farm was destroyed.
Thomas Taylor, wealthy land
owner, received by mail a package
containing powder and matches. with
a warning note of what he might ex-
pect if he insisted on one-half crop
rental.
A few days ago a stranger entered a
store at Ivy and asked the mercha t
for reduced price on all the carriage
whips in stock. This is taken to mean
that the riders intend to administer
f1oggings.

taken by actors who have had sew
eral seasons experience in the roles.

Charles Frohman's production of
1.-THE Thief" will be seen al the Grand
next Monday night. The prestige of
the play, owing to its remarkable sue
cess in Paris, London and New York
is sufficient to insure a successful en-
gagement in Topeka. 1.-The Thief
was played at the Lyceum theater in
New York for an entire season, and
was seen by more than a half million
of people. The play is by Henri
Bernstein, who since the death of
Victorian Sardou, is conceded the
greatest place among French
dramatists. The plot is direct and the
playwright has provided a wealth of
emotion and situation in the three
acts, which has seldom been equalled
by the greatest masters of stage
craft.
