law in Indiana was given, with
statistics covering the same.
Under the operation OF the
Nicholson law" said Rev. Shu-
maker, whereby a remonstrance
could be filed against any appli-
cant for liquor license, if signed
by a majority of voters, 16-
townships of Indiana and six city
wards, were placed on the dry
list. In 1905 the Moore amend
ment was passed, which per-
mltteed remonstnances against
the liquor traffic, by townships
and wards, and under the opera
tion of this law, the number OF
dry counties was increased from
two to twentylfour, and the
towns from z TO 43 and Is cities
baniShed the liquor dealing. Be-
fore this, not a single city in the
state had been without saloons.
In this manner about 1000 sa-
looms were put out of business
in Indiana.
AT a special session of the
Legislature the county option
law was passed in September of
1908. After the new law had
been tried Throughout Indiana the
records Show 20 dry counties out
of 90, 66 dry cities, and thous-
ands of saloons closed. Supt.
Shumaker dealt at length upon
the scenes in the state house at
the time Oh the passage of the
county option law, and how
of the legislature were
and induced to vote
against the measure, and of its
final triumph and what the
triumph meant to the people of
Indiana. -~-a,
The speaker also told OF the
progress of the temperance move

Charles c. Miles WHO left Ply

and has not been seen or heard
from since then sprung quite a
surprise in this city Thursday al
ternoon, when a suit was filed by
Proctor and Stevens, his attor-
neys, asking for a divorce from
his wife Emma A. Miles. The
most surprising feature OF the
complaint is that it charges the
wife with abandoning him, when
the univfral opinion in Plymouth
was that Miles has deserted his
wife. AT one time few months
after his disappearance from Ply
mouth, a report was circulated
that he had been killed in Michi-
gan. However his complaint
states that he has been employed
in Efkhart. HIT alleges that his
wife was OF an uncomfortable tenn
per and ordered him to leave
home. He says further that she
occupies his home and has his
property. which she will not
share with him. Miles left Ply
mouth about the time an indict-
ment was found against him by
the Marshall County Grand Jury,
and his whereabouts has mot
been known in Plymouth. Mrs.
Miles, when she heard of the FL
ing of the suit. read the complaint
and was greatly surprise by the
allegations.

will probably be the first setting of
the kind ever used In America. The
scene represents the edge of a red
wood forest overlooking plain. Or
dinarily the trees in the forest scene
would have been painted on canvas
drops and lowered at intervals, giving
one the impression of forest, but in
this instance all the trees will be real.

or of playing the leading feminine role
In "The Girl Of the Golden West"
CarusO will sing the part Of the road
agent, and Mr.. Amato will be the
sheriff. The first two acts, playing in
the barroom and In the girls room,
have been retained almost as they
were In the play. The schoolroom
scene has been omitted. Much of the
last scene has been retained, and the
opera ends with a choral sung by the
men to the girl they have loved so
well. This will be one of the few op-
eras Of the serious sort to have hap
py ending.
Although Puccini has written many
famous operas, 1t has been nearly sew
en- years since one has appeared from
his pen. Consequently many are wait
ing with interest to learn the success
or failure Of "The Girl Of the Golden
West" At least two of Puccini's
works are in the repertory Of practi-
cally every singing theater in the
world, and the indications are that
the newest one will join the others.
There are long periods during which
Puccini apparently does no composing
at all. Such one followed the ap-
pearance Of Butterfly" On the other
hand, when the desire for work Is on
him he composes like madman. He
makes rough sketch of the whole
score, as rule, which he subjects to
all sorts Of weird alterations only in
telligible to himself and from this
makes clean copy, embodying all the
process Of polishing and finishing to
which the original idea was subjected.
OF course there will be other new
operas that have been produced abroad
and the successes of last season, as
well as the old fayorites that one may
hear year after year and never tire Of.
As to the song birds who will be
heard in America this year, they have
been fiocking here by every steamer
and include the worlds leading sing
ers. This year we are to hear for the
first time In grand opera Miss Lillian
Grenville, who will probably make her
debut in "Quo Vadis," in which she
nas won much success abroad.

awake to the fact that America is GO

the history of our stage we are to

productions that have not first been

has heretofore always been the case.
These are "The Girl of the Golden
West" by Pucclni; "The Children Of
the King" by Humperdinck, and "Yso-
BEL" by Mascagni.
Probably the most talked of of these
new productions is "The Girl of the
Golden West" founded on the drama
of that name, and which is said to be
the most tuneful opera that Puccini
has yet composed. When 1t is first
produced there is one setting in the
piece which Is bound to command the
