STORY OF "LOST RIVER."
To be Produced at the Parmete on
Wednesday Eve., December 9.
J mm-pit Arthurs latest play takes its
title from the natural freak in In
diana, Lost River, which springs full
sl.ed from the hast; of one mountain
and, after Mowing for :i k 1 1 1 six miles,
ilisapMars in a t avern under another.
'Vhitlier It goes no one knows to a cer
tainty, hut there is a legend that Lost
River reappears in the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky, a hundred miles distant.
and that ersons drowned in this
stream are turned in eyeless lish of
that fatuous tavern. Lost River has
an historical interest also since during
the war it was the haunt of the
Knights of the Colden Circle, an or
ganization devoted to the release of
t he southern prisoners confined in the
north. Later it was the headquarters
of the Renos, outlaws and rohtiers, and
if the Archer gang, whose murders
and minor misdeeds finally so exasper
ated the community lhat three of
them were taken from the jail at New
Albany one n ht and lynched.
Furthermore, this section of South
ern Indiana has an international repu
tation as a health resort, for since col
onial times French Lick and the Hot
Springs at West I laden have len cel
ehrated. Some say that here was lo
cated the fabulous Fountain of Youth
for which I 'once de Ion sought in
vain. At any rate, it has lieen a ip
nlar resort of well known people from
all over the United States and even
Kurope. The contrast lH;tween wealth
and culture gathered at this resort,
and the ignorant natives, who have
never In their lives been away from
Lost River, forms the foundation for
the principal dramatic theme of the
play.
Robert Blessing, the hero, Is the con
tractor for a new aqueduct and while
sojourning there he meets and falls in
love with Ora Jones, a naive little lady
as uncultured, yet as sweet, as the
wild Mowers that bloom along the
hanks of the mysterious stream. There
Is a mystery about her parentage
which Messing seeks to unravel, and
incidentally he enlists the affection of
the unsoophistieated Ora. This
arouses the jealousy of Miss Middle
ton, daughter of his partner, and she
proceeds with all the wiles known to a
Ix-autiful but unscrupulous woman to
break the match. Probably it is not
so much that she herself loves Rob
Blessing as that she a wealthy society
belle, objects tobeing jilted for a crude
little country girl whose grammar Is
as ragged as her gown.
This forms the main threads, or
what is known asthe "heart interest,"
of the play, which furthermore
aUiunds in unique character types sa
voring of the virgin soil of lloosier
dom, and several villians who for in
nate deviltry and ingenuity rival any
thing yet product d in this line. With
these villains, asalast resort, the aris
tocratic Miss Middleton forms an al
1 ance for the purpose of revenge and
revenue, and some exciting scenes of
the play are connected with the at
tempts to abduct Ora, ruin the aque
duct and humble Rob RIessing.
Mr. Arthur has heretofore leen cal
ibrated as a deviserof unique mechan
ical effects: in fact, as the originator
of the buzz saw scene in "Blue Jeans'
and the real tire engine in "The Still
Alarm," and other thrillers, he origi
nated the much worked system of
realism in the drama, but although he
has had many imitators, his fertile in
vention has always enabled him to
keep far in the lead in the 1 ine of me
chanical devices introduced logically
and with real dramatic effect.
The original "Lost River" scenery,
showing the massive tollgate, panora
mic effects for the bicycle ride, the
ballroom of the million dollar West
Raden Springs hotel and the West
Baden toll road, will be the s-anie as
used during the 2i0 performances in
New York, 1"a) in Boston and 7" in
Chicago and the production in this
city will be found thoroughly tirst-class
and complete in all respects.
Laziness a SicKness.
To many this verdict of learned doc
tors w ill be a surprise, but it is true.
Kveryone of us remember moments,
hours or days, when it was utterly im
possible for hiru to work; our strength
at once gives out: we get morose, cross
and tired. To other, people we may
stem to be not willing to work, indo
lent and lazy, while in reality we are

the whole alimentary canal work, in

American Elixir of Bitter Wine is a

It will regulate your stomach, intes

What Carriers May Carry.
I'ostmaster Filson of Cameron, Mo.,
wrote the Fourth Assistant I'ostmast
er (leneral asking w hat articles a rural
mail carrier may carry besides his mail,
lie received the following reply which
11 doubt w ill he of interest toall those
who patronize rural delivery routes:
"They are permitted to carry out
side the mail, for the accommodation
of their patrons, packages of merchan
dise, or what is technically know n as
fourth class matter, and they are al
lowed to charge a fee for this service;
they are not required to perform this
service gratis, nor are the packages
limited as to size. It must he under
stood that this privilege is only allow
ed in case these commissions may be
performed without interfering in any
way with the regular performance of
the carrier's duties,
"Under no circumstances Is a carrier
permitted while traveling his route,
to carry liquors of any sort, either for
himself, for sale, or for the accommo
dation of his patrons.
".No mail matter of the first, second
or third class may le handled by rural
carriers while traveling their routes
unless requisite postage has been paid
thereon, with the single exception of
county newspapers, addressed to bona-
fide subscribers, which are. permitted
to be carried free throughout the
county."

THANKSGIVIK3 DANCE
By Mist Hopping' Pupils a Social
Success.
Rright, happy faces and beautiful cos
tumes greeted the eye on last Saturday
evening at Coates' Hall, and the elec
tric lights reflected a very lovely sight
when the young ladies aud gentlemen
took their places for the grand march,
led by Mr. Kirk Bates and Miss Mar
garet Dovey.
This was their first real donee, and
every face expressed, the importance of
the occasion. The reception commit
tee, composed of Misses Pearlman and
lone Dovey and Messrs. George- Falter
and Will Hassler, were very graceful
and attentive; while Mr. Kirk Bates,
as floor manager, was keenly alive to
to the duties of his position, and show
ed great tact and unfailing courtesy
to all.
The puch bowl was graciously pre
sided over by little Misses Falter, Scot
ten and Catherine Dovey, who fairly
beamed with hospitality and goodwill
toward all. , A numUtr of older people
during the latter part of the evening
took part in the general festivities,
thus showing that they had not forgot
ten their youth, and encouraging the
youth of our city in their efforts to pro
vide healthful and innocent amuse
ment and at the same time acquire
the grace and courtesy of manner that
is the first requisite of polite society.
Tax the Bachelors.
The Tribune is most heartily in favor
of a taxation on bachelors, and there
fore we suggest that some member of
the Nebraska legislature introduce a
bill whereby all bachelors in this state
must pay an annual tax of not less than
$50. This amount should be turned
into the treasury of the Home of the
Friendless. However, the bill should
be so framed as not to touch the day
laborer, who is drawing a salary less
than fifty dollar per month Hastings

The Journal moves an amendment to
the above so as to include all old maids
unless they can show good cause why
they have never married, or make oath
that they have never had an opportun

not try to give all their names.

"Don't Worry About the Editor."
One of our Missouri editorial friends
who is about to pull up and leave for
the lack of support, sarcastically re
marks that editors don't need money.
"Don't worry about the editor," he
says, "ne has a charter from the
state to act as doormat for the com
munity. He'll get the paper outsome
how, and stand up for you when
you run for office, and lie about
your pigeon-toed daughter's tackey
wedding, and blow about your big
footed sons when they get a four-dol-lar-a-week
job, and weep over your
shriveled soul when it is released from
your grasping body and smile at your
giddy wife's second marriage. He'll
get along. The Lord only knows
how but the editor will get there
somehow."
