court. County Attorney O'Brien has
argued the case to the jury for the state,
and Mr.. McCafferty will argue the case

she is sister of the complaining wit
ness, Mrs. Phillips. Her maiden name
was Smith. She was married at the age
of fifteen toa man named Alone, and
subsequently married Thomas, from
whom she was divorced. She denied
emphatically that she had purloined the
$1,000 bill from her sister, or had any
connection with its larceny After her
sister had lost the bill it had been a
standing joke at her house as to what
any Of the boarders or other inmates
of the house would do or buy
in case the bill should turn up.
She expressed the belief that Ella Colby
had stolen the bill, and related the cir
cumStanceS under which she was led to
that belief. Ella Colby was a sewing
girl in her house. She had been in the
habit of wearing the clothes of the wit
ness. On one occasion she stated that

clothing, DIS well as the S1l. After
waiting at the home of Ella COlby's
aunt for her return until about 10
o'clock at night, she saw the girl pass
ing the window in company with man.
She followed and saw the couple get
into street car. She boarded the car.
and asked Ella to come across the car
to talk with her. She then asked Miss
Colby When she was coming back to
work and TO return the sl1. Miss Colby
told her that she was working for Mrs.
Desmond in Minneapolis, and did not
expect to return, but would refund the
Sill when she could. Mrs. Thomas.
then noticed that Miss Colby had
diamonds in her ears, and exclaimed in
a joking way that she must baye found
the 81, 900 bill. The Colby girl became
excited. she said, and finally admitted
stealing the bill. She said she had
given the bill to Patsy Butler, the
young man with her i'll the car. Mrs.
Thomas then asked Butler about the
bill and he finally admitted having re-

he had spent most OF 1t on the race.
Mrs. Thomas denied that she had pro-

She also stated that her siSter-in-iaw

"A CLEVER CHARACTER
Is That of Sully in "The Million.
aire."

Is mat Oh Suity IN Lne MllllOn-
aire."
Dan SulIy, the "Irish-American act
or" as the playbils style him, drew a
fair-sized audience to the Metropolitan
last night. when he opened three-night
engagement. Mr.. Sully and his COM
pany presented "The Millionaire" said
to be the product of clever Leander
Richardson, of the New York Dramatic
News. The piece lacks great many
good qualities that one would eX-
pect to find in the work of
Mr.. Richardson, and in that respect it is
a disappointment But to those who
are not familiar with the brilliant news
paper work OF the author the play Is ac-
ceptable. While the story is full of in
congruities, it by no means lacks inter-
est. There are many exciting-and
somewhat overdrawn scenes in the
play, and upon these does its virtue as
a public entertainer chiefly rest. Mr..
Sully, as James O'Brien. the good-nat-
ured Irish-American contractor, adds
another to his long list of admirable
Characterization. His company is fairly
good, but contains no remarkable talent.
Tonight 1.-THE Millionaire" will be re-
peated, and tomorrow night Mr.. Sully's
old favorite, THE Corner Grocery"
will be revived.

Prohibition Meeting.

The Third Party Prohibitionists opened
their national campaign in this county
at an open air meeting on the Court
House yard on Friday night of last week
In the face of threatening thunder gust
the attendance was very creditable in
point of numbers, very large proper
ton OF those present being ladies for
whom chairs were provided. Chinese
lanterns were hung from the trees, which
with lanterns placed about the door of
the court house, gave the meeting ample
light. The meeting was presided over
by Rev. I. L.Wood, pastor of the Elkton
M. f. Church, who introduced Prof.
Huckins of Nebraska, who entertained
the audience with a number of humorous
and pointed Prohibition campaign songs,
which judging by the applause they
evoked. we're fully enjoyed. The chair
man then introduced DR.. Whitney, of
Washington, as a substitute for Hon. A.
G. Wolfenbarger of Nebraska, who was
unable to be present on account of sick
ness in his family. DR.. Whitney made
a number of excellent points in behalf OF
prohibition. He scored mercilessly both
political parties for their attitude on the
saloon question. the Republican party
however receiving the greater share OF
his denunciation. After the doctors
speech, Prof. Huckins closed the meet
ing with his campaign songs.
