The performance was very good of its kind, consisting principally of scenes which might have been taken from any blood and thunder Indian novel, enacted in a life like manner by real Indians and cowboys, on a tea-acre lot surrounded by a wall tent and pavilion. People who like lots of "pisen" In their theatricals were delighted with it; while those who prefer a milder sort of histrionic pabulum were not so enthusiastic in their praise. Rev. Elmer Butler and family passed through the city Wednesday on their way to Bellville, Hendricks county, where he was sent by M. E. Conference. Marriage licenses have been issued to Lycurgus F.

It was stated at the Governor's office Friday that out of the 1,800 men in the One-hundred and fifty Regiment over 1,000 had asked to be retained in the army and given active duty. This was the same regiment whose Colonel told the Governor the men did not wish to be mustered out, and yet the men poured in telegrams of a contrary effect. It is probable there would be a protest against continuing in the service with Barnett as Colonel. The new drop curtain is in position at the Grand Opera House. It is the most artistic drop ever hung in a Bedford theater. The Same firm that painted it will also paint some new scenery for the Grand; and will paint a new drop for the Bloomington Opera House.

Visitors to the Bedford Democrat office the other morning were entertained by Editor Johnson dancing the hoo-chee-koo-chee, and cutting up all sorts of antics. He pled the forms throwed the devil out of the back window, hugged the press girl, blew the steam whistle, and was about to build a bonfire in the middle of the floor when the police interfered. An investigation showed that all this demonstration was over the arrival of a new Democrat at the editor's the night before. We thought he'd quit.- Bloomington Star.
