urday, pretty Matte Vickers and her fun
making company will appear at Maguire's
Opera house, presenting two entirely new
comedies, "Jacquine, or Paste and Dia'

from the gifted pen OF that master OF re-

morous reflection of life behind the scenes,

laugh, and Judging from the manner it has
been treated by the press and public, it has
succeeded admirably, unlike most plays OF
this kind The rollicking fun it possesses
is not confined alone to the star, but gives
an intelligent company OF comedians fuil
scope, of which they most certainly avail
themselves. The second act is behind the
scenes of the Folly theater, where they are
preparing for the evening performance,
which is to be a benefit for the manager,
Phineas Flamm, who is in arrears to his
company for salary. The leading

SIOUX CITY, Iowa. April 1S.-.A shrewd
swindle was perpetrated April by which
the Sioux City Savings Bank lost 81, 500. a
man calling himself B. Simpson on that day
got that amount of money on draft pur.
porting to be made by the National Bank of
Tennessee on the National Bank of the Re-
public of New York for $4,000. Yesterday
it transpired that the draft is forgery.
Simpson came to the bank with genuine
letter of introduction from Rev. George
Knox, pastor of the Presbyterian church of
this city. He had attended Mr.. Knox's
church month ago, and later joined the
Presbyterian church at Ponca, Neb., on q
forged letter of dismissal from church at
Bristol, Tenn. His story was complete and
plausible In every detail.

TIE NEW YORK Herald says:

"We think, therefore, that President Har.

should think him wise il be made no changes
in Office in the southern States at present,

changes are necessary. When he does ap
poipt to office in those States we think it his
DUTY to select only protectionists and men
ofinilnence and standing acceptable to their
communities"
And yet the Herald says the rights of the
majority must be observed. The negroes in
the republican party In the South have
a msiority of ten to one, and nothing is bet
tor known than the fact, that whether the
protective tariff benefits any class of white
people or not, it certainly, from the very
nature of the case, does not benefit the
