Pay Your Money and Take Your
Choice.
146 Second st.

ED. INDEX: l went to the opera
house Saturday night to hear Dillon,
expecting an evening of innocent amuse-
ment and recreation. But after heal
ing the play through, am firmly of the
opinion that no good citizen who has at
heart the moral welfare of the COM
munity, has any business at such
place. And if this opinion is correct,
it IS even worse for professor of Chris
tianity to be found there, or to aid in
any way such an immoral entertain
ment. Wasn't l we'll entertained"
do you ask? Well, was thoroughly en-
tertained, but not aoeU or highly so. l
got the worth of my money in quantity
but not quality. While the whole play
is interesting and much of it amusing,
some parts of it are too coarse and
rough to be called refined, and are
enough to put girls and young women
to the blush, as l have no doubt they
did. Whoever possesses taste to en-
JOY the rougher parts of this play, sure
ly has something radically wrong with
his taste. but such plays are popular
the people like that kind" says one.
grant it, and have no doubt they are
great success financially, but it is a
sad commentary on public taste that
so many persons prefer such plays to
those of higher character. The pub
lies taste needs educating and elevat-
ing; but for church members and the
better class of citizens to patronize such
plays is very poor way to accomplish
1t. In our opinion. one such play does
more damage to the morals of the
young people than can be repaired in a
month by the united efforts of all the
ministers and church people in Medi-
cine Lodge. We hope our two enter
prising citizens who are now running
the opera house will, in selecting their
plays, choose only those which good
citizens can endorse as being entertain
ing without being harmful; then we
can wish them success. Good plays
tend to elevate the public taste; bad
ones pervert End degrade it.

HARRISON WILL RUN.
Little Chance Now of His With
drawal From the Race.
THE DEMOCRATIC SILVER SPLIT.
Senator Hill Lionfzed at Augusta-Reed
Says the New York Trickster Is the
Ideal Democratic Candidate.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 1S.-TSpecial.l
There are certain Republican politicians
in Washington City who are persistent in
circulating the rumor that President Har-
rison will withdraw from the presidential
race. The object in keeping this story in
circulation cannot be fatbomed at the pres
ent time. That President Harrison will
withdraw, now that the nomination seems
to be within his grasp, is not believed by
any one who has any insight into the
political situation as it stands today. The
only reason why Mr.. Harrison is likely to
Withdraw is that he may have discovered
that the denomination will not come to
him with any degree of unanimity. If he
finds that he is going to have a vexatious
fight at the Minneapolis convention, he
may decide to step down and out As was
stated yesterday, the belief that Hill, or
some other Democrat of equal caliber, will
be nominated by the opposition, has
brought more ambitious men into the fight
against Harrison than ever the president
himself has anticipated since the with
drawal of Secretary Blaine.
There are certain prominent Republi-
cans who will refuse to become party to
any movement that has for its object the
denomination of Mr.. Harrison. Whether
they will find it convenient later on to
withdraw their opposition is question
that only the future can determine
While the friends of Mr. Harrison main
tain that he has a sure thing at the Min
neapolis convention, the combined action
of the men who are making the attack
against him may make it hard matter to
win at Minneapolis or at the polls. If the
president is convinced that such is to be
the outcome, he may decide to withdraw
from the race. Otherwise he will not.

were found huddled, and partially numb
from cold, in thin coating of white fuzz.
Examined with magnifying glass they

Mr. Tonneson was asked the significance
of the finding of the stem louise in the
ground. He said:
4 II il is proven upon further investigation that
the lice winter in the ground, then they will be
attacked upon an entirely different plan. Here
tolore, in following out Riley's theory, we have
been spraying everything to prevent the louise
