Circus Trust in Fight.

A flying squadron" of Bar
mum & Bailey circus billposters
arrived Unexpectedly at Logans-
port Monday and spent the day
in blazoning on billboards and
barns the coming of the circus.
The Hagenbeck & Wallace COM
bined shows are booked there
April q and all the Barnum g.
Bailey bills which have been
posted say: Wait for Barnum &
Bailey's Greatest Show on
Earth.
Ringing Brothers, in like man
ner, jumped into Kokomo, where
Wallace is booked and a stiff
fight is being put up there. Both
Ringing and the Barnum & Bail
ey shows belong to the circus
trust. Wallace's No. l car is only
two weeks ahead of the show
and this is because he does not
want to let the trust find out his
route.

Gary Suffers From Option.

Mayor Tom Knotts, of Gary,
in an interview upon the effect
of prohibition in his own town
says:
1.-The closing of saloons will do
much to retard the growth of Our
city and already has resulted in
the loss of millions of dollars in
property valuations But the sa-
looms are closed for a year and
they are going to be kept closed.
We expect to have trouble with
the blind pigs but we'll put
them out of business, too. A year
ago we had JOG saloons in the
city and collected 1000 a year
from them. The. loss in revenue
will be felt and | believe Our Cit
liens will put the saloons back
in business again next year."
The records of the four drug
stores in Gary showed an alarm
ing increase in stomach ailments
and colds" in the city. The
druggists insist they are selling
liquor for medicinal purposes
only" however.

History of U. B. Church.

Rev. wager preaching the fun
eral of Mrs. George Wright Fri
day brought out the history of
the church in its beginning,
showing that it was organized
in 1872 when the original church
was located near the Wilderness
school. Five couples of the
neighborhood viz: Mr.. and Mrs.
George Wright, MIR. and Mrs.
Sylvanus Buchanan, Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Rightley, Mr.. and
William Horner and Mr.. and
Mrs. George Carlisle were the
charter members under the lead
ership of Rev. Long. One by one
this little band have been gath
cred by the grim reaper until
now with the death of Mrs.
Wright but one remains---Mrs.
Rightley who was able at the
age of SO years to be present at
the funeral of this associate and
neighbor of so many years. The
church building in which this lit
tie band began was, some twen-
ty years ago removed to this city
and was sold to the Wesleyans
when Rev. O. F. Lands of bless
ed memory by his herculean eff
forts secured the erection of the
present splendid church home on
South Michigan street and where
Rev. Wager is doing much good
in his kindly way, that has won
him the esteem and love of all.
May good continue to come from
this small beginning throughout
the many years to come.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DEATH At RAILROAD CROSSING
Train Kills Horse Driven by Orville
Jones, Smashes Buggy and Threw
Driver Twenty Feet

who resides in south Plymouth.
Orville, had come to Plymouth
Sunday afternoon, and hltched
his horse at a local barn. He
spent the afternoon with friends
here. and started for his home
about 10 80. When he reached
the Stephenson crossing, a
freight was coming from the east
for which he waited to pass, and
then drove out to the crossing.
A double header freight from the
west was coming under high
speed, unnoticed by the driver.
The railroad makes turn south,
Just west OF the crossing, and
thus the headlight OF the train
from that direction was not seen.
The noise of the east bound train
made it impossible 10 hear the
other train. The first engine OF
the eastbound train, struck the
horse, full on its side Jones
heard the crash,so he says, land in
an instant found himself lying
south of the tracks, twenty feet
away. When he could arise, and
icund that no bones were broken
he searched for his rig, and found
the horse badly mangled, and dy-
ing. The buggy was smashed,
and laying beside the tracks.
Counts Close CALI
Jones counts his escape, as a
close call, and is puzzled as to
exactly how it happehed. The
horse killed, was a small west
erner. three years old. The buggy
was in good condition.

RESPONSE.
Madam Chairman and
Members of the Satur-
day Club:
We, the club members
of the thirteenth district,
heartily thank you for this
gracious welcome. Ply
mouth is known for the
hospitality and cordiality
of its citizens. All politi-
cal conventions of the Dis
trict are being held here
and it is fast gaining the
reputation of a convention
city.
You have inspired us
anew with noble incentive
and we feel sure our la
bors will be made most
pleasant during our stay.
We have assembled from
all parts of the district for
the purpose of devising
the best methods of Club
improvement. Club Life
seems only to broaden our
calling, for the need of the
human race is for a har-
monizing of ideals. How
necessary that we should
be educated for the task
before US!
The voice of a woman
must be heard for she is
welding an influence for
good that must be recog-
nized Then let us do our
duty in the office, the
school, the horne,-just as
faithfully as if we stood in
some great battle for vic
tory do the duty which
lies nearest thee" and
when we do the best we
can, the humblest of us
will be achieving the high
est ideal of life and char
acter, and as l greet you
today,I am impressed with
the truth, that back of all
our interests and aspira-
tons for a higher club life
there is one interest which
binds us together more
closely, that interest CEN
ters in the home.
May all the delibera-
tons of this meeting be
harmonious as we believe
they will be and the re-
suits for our best interests.
May we find our task
worth doing, may we es-
tablish higher standards in
the world, and may we
make life real, earnest and
successful.
We again assure our
hostesses of our apprecia-
ton of proffered courtesy,
knowing all the thought
and care you have taken
for our coming, again l
thank you.

TO AID STRIKERS.
Miss Anne Morgan and Mrs. O.
HI. p. Belmont
Come Out as Full Pledged Labor
Leaders.
.SHIRTWAIST MAKERS
To the Number of 10000 Are
Out in New York.
Other Society Women Will Do
Picket Duty.

New York, Dec. 20.-Miss Anne Nor
gan. daughter of ]. Pierpont Morgan.
and Mrs. o. H. P Belmont, mistress of
millions. appeared today as duly au-
thorized labor leaders charged with the
responsibility of directing, in part at
least. the strike of the 10000 girl shirt
waist makers here.
These two women, in conference with
officers of the union, decided yesterday
on a definite plan of campaign, which
they believe will result in victory for
the strikers. A statement was given to
the public today saying that the two
society leaders will provide adequate
legal defense for all members of the
union. Who are arrested while doing
picket duty and will personally take up
the work of directing the strikers.
Mrs. Belmont expressed herself as in
dignant at the manner in which the
police are alleged to have interfered
with the strikers. She has retained
number of first class lawyers to defend
them in the police courts.
At Miss Morgan's suggestion, call
has been issued for volunteers to act as
watchers in the neighborhood Of the
shops where the strike is in progress.
These watchers, many of whom will be
prominent society women, will report
upon the facts concerning arrests and
be ready to testify on behalf of the
pickets.
Mr. 1. B. Hyman, president of the
Manufacturers association, severely
condemns the action of Mrs. Belmont,
Miss Morgan and other wealthy women
in espousing the cause of the strikers,
declaring that they are doing the girls
harm and merely prolonging little
longer the strike, which but for their
interference. would have died a natural
death by this time"
