STILL HARD AT IT.
Aldrich, Bowman and Others in Seima Gathering Fuel for the Flame.
 Greensboro Gets Slice.
AGE-HERAJD BUREAU, l SELMA Ian. 23.

SELMA. Jan. Zo.
 The plot thickens. Skaggs is here. Reese is here Aidrich is here. Dean IS here. Bowman is here. The only thing that could add to the afiliction of this suffering pebple would be the appearances of Long shore, Evangel Manning and Burn His Arm. of Adams upon the scene. .,Reese looks as dapper as you please and is an attentive listener to the evidence be- ing gathered by Aldrich, Bowman Co: He keeps his coat butioned up closely as II afraid he would lose something.
 It is said he carries in his inside pocket and next to his heart that wonderful doc- ument given him by one Reuben F. Kolb, purporting to be a certificate of election to inc United States senate. The honorable Skaggs has his calliope attachment along, but fortunately will not get chance to use it. However, there is always room to fear that it will get loose anyhow.
 It is said Colonel Reese is working up evidence, by the use of which he hopes to induce the republican senate to oust Gen eral Morgan. It is ridiculous to think of Reese in Morgan's seat. True, Reese is the prettiest of the two, but just think of the difference in the build of the two men above the eyes. It's funny to contemplate, isn't it? The festive colonel will never warm Morgan's seat, never, but then he can have the fun of thinking about it.
 The investigation is moving on slowly. One witness entertained the crow in the improvised court room all day yesterday. The first night session was held Monday night. Aldrich thinks he will ee here at least two weeks longer. The evidence Is being forwarded to Washington as fast as 1t Is taken.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Severus Schaffer had performed but one or two of his marvellous feats of juggling and equipoise at the Wonder land yesterday when the audience real ized that the king of all jugglers was, indeed, in their presence. No other liv- ing man has ever attempted to do the things that Schaffer does. Had such things been performed in the days of Salem witchcraft their author would have been looked upon as "Old Nick" himself. Schaffer does everything so easily and graceful, and with such mar veIous finish, that it taxes credulity even in this more enlightened age to believe that it is human power alone he depends upon. There are many other features of interest at the Wonderland also. Miss Jennings spars MT. O'Brien with much dexterity, and little Mabel O'Brien is very cute in her speciality. The Misses Burt and Bennett are clev- CT singers and dancers, and the Vtdocqs are very funny in their comedy sketch The Deagons, Francis Bryant, Haynes and Redmond, and Johnson, Daveport and Lorella are all capable artists and help to make this weeks bill one of the most attractive given this season at the Wonderland,

Grand Opera House.

IT. c. DeMille's beautiful drama, "The Lost Paradise" was capitally presented
 to very large audience at the Grand | last evening. Manager Bunnell deserves see it. The plot of the play is one that interests all An interesting phase of the conflict between capital and labor is ! skillfully set forth. and the working out of the motif of the play is cunningly contrived to point a moral without of | lending either the workman or the cap talist. The cast which Fendered the play last night was excellent, and the stage setting fine, the interior scene of the Knowlton iron works in the sec ond act being particularly realistic.
 Last night the play was still as fore i'ble and dramatic as at it's first ap- pearance in Germany and in New York, In the play the young superintendent of the great iron works discovers that the works are founded on an invention of his own, for which he never received credit or value, and that millions have been accumulated by the proprietor while he himself has remained a mere workman" He is in love with the daughter of the master. But this mas ter leads her into an engagement with the son and heir of his former partner, who helped him fllch the invention, be- cause he thinks it necessary thus to secure himself. Tn the course of the play the young superintendent destroys his proofs of his discovery as q sacrifice to his love, and by various dramatic ways the lady and her adorer finally get united at the end of the third act, William Morris was sufficiently of a character to make it strikingly dramat- ic. He makes an impressive figure and carries the part with power, and Hershall Mayall played with point and incisiveness. Etta Hawkins was beyond the ordinary. Altogether the play had a strong presentation.
 Miss Francis Gaunt as Margaret Knowlton," was most excellent, and her winning way and pleasant smile cap tivated all. Miss Nadine Winston and 1T.
 The entire company is an excellent one, and the piece IS presented through out in a most excellent manner. It will be repeated this evening and tomorrow evening, and at the matinee tomorrow Undoubtedly this strong attraction will be witnessed by large houses.
 "The Police Patrol' will be seen for three nights commencing Thursday January 10.
