M0RRIS0N'S FAUST.
Goethe's Tragic Story of Faust and Marguerite Now Staged
 to Appear at the
 Opera House.

Faust as given by the Morrison's Company, will be the attraction at the Opera-house next Tuesday night, the 2lst
 While the world endures Goethes tragic story of Faust and Marguer- ite will continue to live The story has been celebrated in song and in it's operatic form has been elabo- rately staged for many years, but it remained for this company to pre- sent it in worthy dramatic form with all effects and accessories ne- cessary to give it that weirdness in- tended by the author. In this yer sion the role of Mephisto is made a jolly, ioyial devil, one calculated to enehain the souls of men in the glamour of forbidden pleasures. The scenic effects are strongly brought out and serve to accentuate the dra- matte situations in a vivid manner. One of the most notable effects is at the end of the first act, where Me phisto exults over the capture of the soul of Faust, when midst darkness and thunder bursts" the blazing cross appears over the Cathedral doors. In the garden scene again where the flowers burst into bloom by electricity, and the duel scene when Mephisto comes to the aid of Faust, the flashing steel produces a pale blue flame, giving a weird effect, reaching it's climax in the scene of the witches carnival on the Brocken, where the electric fluid plays an important part, end ing in a shower of fire, and in the closing scene where the angel Mar guerite is bearing the .senseless form of Faust Heavenward, marking Mephisto's final end.

MaIoneys Wedding .

"MalOney's Wedding seems to be about all one reads or hears about of late and it is really amusing to listen to the funny stories that are told at Dams expense. The latest-that few evenings ago Ma loney made his final visit to the home of the bride-elect to again en- dcavor to obtain the consent to d peaceful union: but the old couple were as obdurate as ever When pressed to state their objections fully the old gentleman said; i'll the first place, his daughter was too young; second, that he could not see where it came in for that Blatz to act in the capacity of best man, and further If that Dntchman attempted to kiss his daughter after the formali- ties were over, there wonld be trou- ble sure: but Maloney informs us. however, that the event will take place at the Opera-house Monday, January 27, just the same. Joy be with you. 20 2t

Some Don'ts,

1t is not only wicked but it is bad
politics to try to deceive the people,
therefore in all kindness we submit 10
the gold bug orators and newspapers

Don't tell the people that there
was but 100000 Of silver coined
during hundred years of free coin.
age. 1t is not true.
Don't tell the people that the bal.
ance Of trade is against the United
States, as those who don't know better
will soon find out that it is false.
Don't tell the people that fres
coinage will make a 80 cent dollar anC
at the same time it will double the
value OF the silver miners product
They will readily see that it coult
not do both.
Don't tell them that hard time,
and the low price Of commodities ar,
due to the Democratic tariff. They
will not believe it unless you car
prove it aud you can't do that.
Don't try to convince the peopl,
that what Wall street wants is best
for them. 1t has an appearance o
improbability on its face and will moi
be readily accepted.

An important RuIino

In the proceedings Of the District
Court a few days ago decision was
rendered which at first glance
would seem Insignificant, but on fur
ther examination proves to be of con.
siderable magnitude and importance.
Several mortgage companies have
been in the habit of exacting from
the farmers a second mortgage which
they are pleased to call commission
mortgages" bat which are nothing
more or less than mortgages given for
unearned interest on the first mort
gage for five years.
In the case Of the Waddel Invest
ment Co. VS. Grain. e. D. Burnette a
young attorney Of this city who has
only been practicing law about ten
months, having been employed by the
defendants, determined to test the
validity Of these unearned interest
mortgages. The regular attorney for
the Waddel corporation people came
down from Ottawa to fight the case
for them. After bitter contest the
law and facts Of the case we're argued
and submitted to the court and the
court ruled that the plaintiff was not
entitled to forclOse these mortgages
only for the portions Of interest that
had been earned up to the time suit
was brought to forclOSe this, deciding
In favor Of the defendants.
While this mortgage amounted to
only s65 yet when the same ruling is
applied to all such mortgages the
total amount will be a great saving to
parties who are unfortunate enough
to have their mortgages fOreclosed.
This one company alone has about
$4,000 In these unearned interest
mortgages on Sumner county lands.
To have this burden virtually remov-
ed is indeed no small matter in these
hard times. Mr.. Burnette, although
a Republican, is to be commended
for his courage and ability in attack
ing these forms Of corporate greed,
avarice and robbery. This is not the
first victory of similar nature he has
won and we truss that it will not he

The gold reserve is down again
far below the SlOO,OOO,0OO mark and
there has been considerable talk at
Washington about another bond is
sue, but the news now comes from
New York that Wall street does not
think it advisable to have more
bonds Just at this time and that the
bankers will furnish the treasury
with needfu' gold. Surely William
Bryan was right when he said the
banks had gone into the government
business and that they ought to quit
and let the people try it awhile.
With Bryan president the banks
would stand just about as much show
as they did in Jackson's time.

Don't say that gold is the money Of
the world. 1t is not true. Gold is
not the money of any little bit of the
world except when it is made so by
government, by law, by fat. In in.
ternational exchange it is measured
by the scales and not by the stamp
which is on it.
Don't say that under free coinage,
foreigners would pay us insilver while
we would be compelled to pay them
in gold. II is absurd. We do not
owe any gold. We are not forced To
buy from people who demand gold.
Don't tell The people that the tar

1t is a waste OF time. They will not
have it that way
