To CHANGE THE
JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Rush and Shelby Counties
Want Their Own Circuit
Courts Established.
Palladium SpeciaD

RUSHVILLE, Ind, Dec. 16.-There
is a very strong possibility that the
sixteenth judicial district, composed
of Rush and Shelby counties, will be
sliced by the next Indiana state legis-
lature. Democratic attorneys here are
working zealously for a change in The
judicial circuit, and it said that no Re
publican attorneys will oppose the
movement The idea is 10 get more
time for court here. All attorneys IA
vor the plan.
Rushville attorneys are said to be
very willing to assist Shelbyville at
torneys for the establishment of a
court there. believing that Rush coun-
ty will be left as separate circuit or
else placed with some county in which
there is little court business so that
the court would have more time TO
spend in this county.
1t is believed that if Shelby county
is made a separate court. Rush will be
allowed to go it alone or will be placed
with Franklin county.
In case Shelby county is cut loose
from Rush, it will mean the appoint
ment of a Judge by Governor Rails
ton.

The cable car, drawn by underground

this about 1880 to 1890 was supplanted
by the electric trolley lines. and these

"Mutt and jeff"

Looking down the line of past pro-

name that looms up as the producer of
practically all the successful ones It's
no secret! Gus Hill, has picked all of
the winners in that particular class
of plays. Mutt and jeff" although
still young, has the record over all Of
them. This has been a season of a
great number of successful produc-
tons. New York has a dozen hits.
Unfortunately there are so many that
the patronage is not sufficient TO make
all of the deserving ones pay. This
did not prove the case when Mutt

House or the Manhattan opera house,
New York, where it walked away with
the record business of the year. Mutt

singers, dancers and fun-makers
