For three nights at the Creighton, com
mencing tomorrow evening, will be given a
representation Of the famous play, "Charley's
Aunt" The critics have put "Charley's Aunt"
down as the greatest success in comedy farce
ever seen in this country, and the remarkable
long and prosperous engagements in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, as well as a
twenty weeks run in Chicago, would seem
to furnish ample proof of its superiority as a
laugh-maker. "Charley's Aunt" is now in its
third year in London and is also running in
Stockholm Berlin, Florence, Vienna and
Paris. 1t has been done for an extended
period in Australia and South Africa and
before the end Of the present season there is
scarcely country on the globe but will have
seen this bright entertainment.
The company which will appear in the play
in this city is the same efficient organization
which has been meeting with such excellent
success in all Of the leading cities this sea-
son. Three Of its members were identified
with the original London production, one of
them, Arthur Larkin, playing the title role
Of the Bogus Aunt.

IN THE WORKS.
Young Charlie Keifer Given . Oppor.
tunity to Reflect and Repent.

Charles Keifer, of New Baltimore, is now in
the workhouse. He was let down rather easy
considering the long period of his thievery.
His capture was mentioned in the NEWS
DEMOCRAT few days ago, Samuel Newhouse
and DIR. Falor being the parties who captured
him. Young Keifer had hearing before
Justice f. N. Bryan, and pleaded guilty. He
was sentenced to the county workhouse for
twenty days, and fined the costs of prosecu.
tion, which amount TO about SIS.
There has not been very good feeling be-
tween the Keifers and Taylors for some time.
The elder Keifer owed Mr.. Taylor quite an ac-
count, for the payment ofwhich Taylor secured
a lien upon the Keifer home. Charley Keifer
has been idle for a long time, and admitted to
taking butter, coffee, cigars and chewing gum
at different times from the Taylor store nearly
always on Sunday, while Mr.. Taylor was at
church, getting into the store through a stable
and warehouse The butter and coffee were
used on the Keifer family table, while Charley,
his father and others smoked the cigars. Char
ley claims that his parents did not know the
articles were stolen.

INCOME TAKERS HAPPY
Friends OF the Method Gratified
at the Outlook.
BELIEVE 1T WILL BE POPULAR.
The Greater the Amount Realized the
More Firmly Rooted ne Governments
Policy It WIN Boooms-Tho Revenus
May Reach $50, 900, 900.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Members of
congress who believe in the income tax
as an equitable method of raising reve-
nues, are gratified at the unexpectedly
good showing of the preliminary can.
vass made by the collectors of in.
ternal revenue at the direction Of SEQ
retary Carlisle. They believe that the
greater the amount realized from this
tax, the more popular it will become
and the more firmly rooted as part Of
the policy of the government. Repre-.
sentative McMillin of Tennessee says
that if a large per cent Of the reve.
nue. of the government is derived from
this plan, any attempts to repeal it be.
fore the expiration of the 5.year limit
fixed in the Wilson bill, will be exceed.
ingly unpopular, and that the greater
the revenue derived from it, the greater
will be tie probability Of its re.enact-
ment at the end of its term
When the proposition to tax incomes
was before congress, the profit from the
scheme was at first estimated at from
$l5, 100000 to $lS,OOO,OOO Later the
estimates of the committee were raised
to the vicinity of $50, 100000 Mr.. Hall
Of Missouri, who has given more study,
perhaps, to the theory and history of
the income tax than any other man in
the house did not place the total below
ESQ, 900, 900. From the results of the
canvass Of the internal revenue bureau
it appears that Mr.. Hall was more
nearly correct than the other forecast
ers. He now says that the income tax
may yield more than $50. 600 900, and it
is known that the treasury department
officials do not place its results below
that mark. The showing made by the
86 Of the SO districts gives ground for
the estimate that about 300 900 persons
and corporations will contribute to the
treasury by this plan.

A MASS OF BURNS.
A WASHINGTON AVENUE WOMAN
USES COAL OIL

And is Probably Fatally Burned-Her
SON Badly Burned While Endeavor-
ing to Save Her--FIames Finally Sub
dued by her Husband who Tears the
Clothes From her Back.
The careless use Of coal oil to kindle fires is
likely TO cause death in Canton. Mrs.
Augusta Draband, the wife of Charles A.
Draband, residing at No. 20. Washington
avenue, arose about $3.50 and in starting fire
in the stove poured coal oil over the kindling.
The fire did not burn readily and she took the
oil can and poured more oil in the stove. The
flames shot up and catching the oil in the can
caused it to explode, throwing the burning oil
over Mrs. Draband.
She was instantly enveloped in flames. Her
son, a boy about ID years of age, who was sleep
ing in the room, jumped to his mothers az
sistance badly burning his left hand
and arm. The husband, who was sleep
ing in another room, was aroused
and hurried to the aid ofhs wife, The flames
were SO fierce as to render IL almost impossible
for him to get near her, but he succeeded in
pulling the burning clothes from her body, not
however, until she had been severely burned.
The flames were extinguished and Mrs. Dn-
band was given what attention was necessary
to relieve her sufIerings.
DIR. schuiIell was called and rendered medi-
cal aid. The doctor says IL is doubtful If she
has not received fatal injuries. Arrangements
have been made to have the suffering woman
removed to Aultman hospital, At present she
is suffering intense pain, being mass of burns
from her head to her feet, and her body is
swollen to almost twice its natural size. The
neighbors are kindly rendering her every as
sistance in their power to relieve her pain.
