ACTORS BAD BREAK
ACCUSED OF PUBLICLY INSULTING
AN ESTIMABLE YOUNG LADY.

It Was an Amateur Theatrical Row Which
Caused n Bushel of Indignation and
Called Forth an Apology From the Sons
of ye.erans--Nr. Valentine Played the
Maniac on the stage and He is Accused
of Playing il After the Curtain Fell.
Tco--A Tempest in Teapot Causes
Whole Lot of Bad Feeling.
There was heap OF excitement at
the Garfield hall last night and ton
OF indignation.
''The Old Cathedral was played by
an amateur company for the benefit
of Arson Skinner camp Sons of Neter-
ans. II is said that the play prosper
ed all right until the curtain fell. at
which Ar. Valentine. the manager, APP
peared before the audience and most
shamefully criticized the members OF
the company. He made Miss Tilden
a special target for his i'll humor and
accused her of forcing a postponement
OF the play that she might take in the
BLACK Crook" He continued his IL
rade 1. is said for twenty minutes. Miss
Tilden's friends were very indignant,
il appears, for the insult offered her.
In speaking about the affair last night
q member of the Sons of Veterans said
that IL was the most shameful scene
he had ever witnessed. Valentine"
he said. was stranded here a few
weeks ago and being taken up for this
play by the Sons of Veterans il came
with very bad grace for him to insult
the organization by insulting those
who gave their time and talent in its
interest. The fact is Miss Tilden Is
not only most agreeable young lady.
but she has quit good deal of thea
trical talent and demonstrated il by her
splendid acting in the part of the SOU
brette. He played the maniac and the
most charitable thing We can say OF
his shameful conduct is that the char
acter effected his mind for he cehtain-
ly looked as much like a maniac dur
ing his TRADE as he did while he was
representing the character on the
stage"
The Sons OF Veterans regret the af-
fair so much that they have issued the
following apology:
AN APOLOGY.
/ wish to publicly apologize for the
shameful and unwarranted attack
made on certain members Of the cast
OF THE Old Cathedral by Valentine,
who so badly overplayed the part Of
the maniac in his speech before the
curtain last night. The Sons of Vet
Grams are indeed grateful to the gentle
men and ladies who so kindly gave us
their time and assistance in putting on
this piece. and sincerely regret that
they should have been maligned and
insulted in so shameful a manner af-
ter their many kindnesses. I wish TO
say that the attack was entirely un-
warranted and without the knowledge
OF any person connected with the camp
of cast.

He Thinks Investigations Only Waste OF
Public Money.

te Hon p A Rohrbaugh has been
reading the charges against state oife>
ers and he thinks investigation waste
of money. When he was asked yester-
day whether he was Feminist mNesu-
cations, as reported, he said:
Eyes / see that the administration
is about 70 investigate the earth as it
was under Populist rule, they are after
the board of charities, warden OF the
penitentiary Senator Rogers, the OIL
Gals of the insane aSy llim, etc. | have
no doubt but that the administration
is honest in its attempts to purify the
political atmosphere. but my cbServa-
ton has been that the Investigation Of
the opposition is always characterized
by a partisan spirit, which initiates
against the party making the exanina-
ton. and the general rule is waStfui
exneaiiture OF money, ana failure
TO convict ANYBODY. The Bodkin inves-
tisation the Coffeyville investigation,
and others Of like nature are fair sam
nles of this kind of politics The people
in a free country soon get information
Of rottenEeSs in any party and their
verdict at the ballot box is the most
successful rehuke. The only proper
way t. Investigate Is fer a political
rSarty to investigate its own officers
when necessary and thus retain the con-
iidence of the people in the integrity OF
the party mana gers

or NORTH anu Speaker LobdeR are
good men and will do their whole duty

T. ). Palmer of the Medford Patriot
was in the city yesterday. He came up
to Sc about some bonds that The West
ern Lithograph company were prepar-
ing for his county-Grant
The MedfO-d editor says that Grant
county has outstanding $4,000 of coun-
ty orders, nearly every dollar OF which
is held by their own people The coun-
ty has determined 10 fund them in ten
year bonds. It will put that much
money in circulation among their own
people and the present income of the
county being sufficient to pay run
ming expenses, their county orders will
be at par from this time on.
The Oklahoma editor has great faith
in the outcome OF the new county, not
withstanding the people are now suf-
fering from the Inconvenience that are
incident to all new countries.
Mr.. Palmer talked TO reporter for
Eagle about his section OF Oklahoma
and in answer TO questions-said:
THE indications now are that we will
raise a good deal of wheat this year.
The soft wheat was considerably in
jured by the dry winter, bat about two
thirds of the wheat in my section is
hard wheat and il promises a fine crop.
The farmers are now busy blowing.
and although we have not yet had
much rain this spring the ground seems
to be in splendid condition. There will
be a good deal of Kaffir corn planted on
the new breaking this year. Kaffir
corn viii make a crop in Oklahoma
whether ii rains or not.
The farmers down there are scarce
of seed 10 plant this year and there is
no need of cOneeaiing that fact. There
are good, honest people in Grant coun-
" who are not able to buy seed such
as they need. Some of these farmers
would pay q god rent 10 the man who
would furnish them seed.
Corn is pretty sure crop on all the
good lands in that section and any man
who would furnish seed to the farmers
would get a good return for his money.
They do not want anybody to give
them the seed. Then broom corn Is al
most a sure crop there and money could
be raised raising it,
