explained. that for his lady client, he
had done every thing in his power to
get them to live together, but that the
husband refused to talk with him and
would not speak to the wife. They
had succeeded in getting the matter
almost fixed up once. but in fatal
moment the husband had said that his
wife was seventeen and one-half years
old and she claimed that she was only
seventeen, so the conflict ragged anew.

wanted provision made for the wife
and baby. The husband had an inter
est in forty acres of land along with
his father. had rented another forty,
owned and drove a fine team and went
to the saloons and put on airs around
Platteyille. After considering the
matter the court granted her divorce

THE LoSeBow CLGB.-The Long
bow Club had meeting in the lobby
OF the Carrollton yesterday after
noon for the first time in several
days. All the mem bers were pre-
sent-the Sea Captain. the Forty.
niner. the retired Army Colonel and
the Man of Varied Experiences.
There seemed to be q little uneasi-
ness among the four as to whose
turn it was to stretch the iongbow,
bu: this was soon set at rest by the
Sea Captain. who appeared in such
state Of exhilaration that il the
Others had not known him better
they would have said he had been
drinking. 1t was only the natural
exuberance resulting from the fact
that he had recalled good story to
tell. So decks were cleared aud ac-
ton began. 1t was rumored that
the Captain had really been drink
ing heavily of late. so that it was
not surprising his story should have
q snake in it,

and carriage on the ship, as l was
extremely fond of driving when
had the opportunity.
SO We dropped anchor, the horse
was hitched to the carriage, they
were taken ashore, and, detailing a
ssilor to do the driving, | got in
the vehicle with him and we started
of. There was jungle which came
close down to the beach, leaving q
strip Of land along which there was
a splendid roadway.
when heard loud hiss like that
Of escaping steam, and in an instant
there was an immense snake before
the horse. The snake did not stop
to see whether the animal was ten
der or not, but caught the unfOr-
tunate animal by the head and pro-
ceeded tn devour it. Looking down
the snakes throat from where we
sat in the carriage, its mouth look
ed like the entrance to a cave.
Bill, the driver, appeared un-
easy, but told him to sit still, as
the horse would be about all the
reptile needed for one meal. IL |

THE NEW THEATRE.
Soms Idea of What the Directors Propose
to Do.

The directors of the new theatre have
sent out their first call to the subsori bers
for funds, making a demand, as we ur-
derstand. for thirty per cent of the sub
scription. The subscribers, we are in
formed, have promptly responded. The
site for the building has not yet been
paid for as Mi. Snow of Symonds, Snow
and Cook, has not finished an examina-
| ton of the titles.
1t Is proposed to give the theatre a
space Of eighty feet in width by one hun
dred and fifty four in depth. As the
McCobb lot is not quite as wide at one
end as at the other, enough land will be
taken from the Hanson lot to give the
necessary proportions to the entire lot.
There will then be land enough left in
the rear to give several feet space be-
tween the theatre building and Mrs.
Banks house. In the rear of the Hanson
house the boiler house will probably be
placed. By 80 doing there can be no
danger to the theatre. A passage way
Hanson house and theatre. the Oak and
Free streets sidewalks will be broadened d,
and the surroundings Of the building will
be made very attractive.
| A proposed plan contemplates turning
the Hanson house into first class cafe.
1t is we'll known that there are a very
large number of citizens of other cities
who would like to come and enjoy good
perform ance returning after it is over.
With handsome ladies' parlop toilet
| rooms, and cloak room in the theatre
building, these people can come to the
theatre, leave their cloaks and wraps in
the cloak room and get good supper at
the cafe. The electric roads will bring
them close to the doors, and they can
take them right after the performance.
There will be four entrances to the
theatre. and the stage will be so arranged
that enc can almost step from it right
into the street. This will be of an i'm
mense advantage when spectacle is pro-
duced, or sensational drama, in VIII ich
horses and heavy teams are required.
The plans are not yet prepared for the
new house, and these statements we have
made only foreshadow what may be ex-
peoted. AS was said yesterday by Presi-
dent Wright, it is going to be house
that will be a credit to any city and we
can keep theatre-goers here because we
Will give them plays produced as we'll as
they can get by going to the large cities.
