The American Dramatic Company opened
to good business at the opera house last
evening. Fl. Scott has had many spectac-
ular and scenic productions but never until
last night, when this company opened a
weeks engagement, has 1t seen popular
priced show that carries a special car of
handsome scenery and stages its pieces
with laYishness that surpasses many OF
the high class productions. The bill last
night was the we'll known "Sea of lee
which was presented in highly creditable
manner by Logan and HamiltOn's company
to the large audience present. The scenic
surprises commenced from the first act,
and when the curtain rose on act second,
the Sea of Ice, the delighted audience gave
an enthusiastic burst of applause in appre-
citation of the handsome stage setting.
The company CONTAINS a number of very
clever people among whom might be men
toned Sadie Farley Davis, who handled
the dual roles of Louise DE Lascour ana
Ogarita in a manner highly satisfactory to
all present. Mary Gail Mitchell, the
Carthage, Mo-, girl who is making her first
professional tour, was another who made
favorable impression although the part Of
Diana de Lascour, for which she was cast
gave her but little opportunity. Between
the first and second acts Robert Athon sang
couple of pretty ballads which were well
received but it remained for dainty, little
Miss Bonnie Del VeechiO to make the hit
of the evening between the 4th and 9th
acts in her singing specialties and 1t was
not until she had responded to several en-
cores that she was allowed to gO.-Ft

mornings so Tom Decker and meat
cutter, Mr.. Dreamer, laid for him. He
entered and as he was working the
combination to the drawer, Dreamer
turned on the electric lights and Decker
covered his man with gun. He gave
up and claimed he had an accomplish
outside but that was not believed.
The thief proved to be Charles Robin,
a former employee at the meat market.
He wanted to plead guilty before JUS
tice Barclay but was taken to jail to
await trial in the district court. AS
he is only eighteen years old he will
probably go to the reformatory.

Last Friday night Mr.. Eccles spoke
on the silver question at Fruit Valley
school house betweeen here and Nick
erson. Il. J. Camel was present and
expected to speak but as Mr.. Lawson
wanted to Divide time Mr.. Camel gave
way for him. Mr.. Eccles lead OF with
good thoughtful speech to an atten-
tive, though not very demOnstrative
audience. When Lawson began some
of his claqueTs began cheering at every
turn. The silver boys took it up and
helped them out. Soon the cheering
which they had dotted so much on be-
come burlesque. When Mr.. Eccles
replied and he had pealed the skin Up
in spots on his antagonist and the au-
dience went wild. One of Lawson 8
boys seeing what sorry predicament
his father had gotten into, moved to ad-
journ before Mr.. Eccles' time was mp.
When y republican has informed him
self we'll enough on the silver question
to locate himself in the Bryan ranks he
is generally abundantly able to take
care Of himself in debate. Such is the
case with Mr.. Eccles.

made a good speech. 1t was circulated
on the streets that the speakers were
