AT THE THEATER.
"The Girl Left Behind Me" MOnday
Afternoon and Night.

David Belasco and Franklin Fyles' mil
itary drama. ''The Girl Left Behind Me"
under the direction of julius Calm, will
be the opening attraction of the next
week. 1t will be seen Monday afternoon
and night.
The play deals with military life at
Montana, during the Indian uprising of
1890. and there are many scenes of the
most intense and exciting kind, particu-
the little garrison at sunrise, with the
generals daughter pleading with her
father to shoot her not to let her fall
into the hands of the Indians.
Although the background of the play is
rough, 1t is in every respect rapid and
culminative, its climaxes growing strong
er with each act. The lighter side of the
play rests on the loye-making of several
couples, all of whom are the young people
of the garrison. Many of the parts call
for strong and clever acting of an unusual
line, but with Mr.. Frohmans excellent
company the piece will in no way suffer
in this respect.
The play was seen here last year and
made a decided hit.

MARsHAL's OFFICE TO BE MOVED
Oklahoma City to BE the Base of Opera
tions In Future.

Oklahoma, City, o. T., July 16.-For
some time past work has been done to-
wards securing the United States mar
shal's office of the territory in this city,
and it has now become so near GER
tainty as TO be a sure thing.
The citizens of Guthrie have at last
dropped onto the fact that they were
about to lose that important Office and
are working like beavers to retain it
but they are to late, as the order to
move the headquarters was made a
week ago and the moving of the office
is only delayed by the increase of busi-
ness caused by the recent jail break
at the federal Jail. AS soon as this
rush of business is over the Office will
be moved to this city and rake up quar-
tens in the second floor of the new court
house building.
The location of the marshars office
in this CITY will not only be a good thing
for Oklahoma City, as this city being
more centrally located and having far
superior railroad facilities an immense
amout of mileage will be saved to the
government.
With the office in Guthrie as hereto
fore, all prisoners captured in the south
ern. eastern and western part of the ter
ritory had to be brought TO this city on
their way to Guthrie thus adding some
thirty miles each way additional I'M
necessary expense.

CAPTURED BY SOVEREIGN
Arkansas Poprlists do the Bidding of the

Little Rock. Ark, July 16.-At the af-

convention A. W. Files OF Pulask
county was nominated for governor bv
reclamation. No other nominations
were made.
The delegates then listened To an
hours address by Master Workman
Sovereign, who severely arraigned the
single gold standard theory and warn
ed the silver men that if they hoped for
victory. they must work together Mr.
Sovereign is heartily in favor of the en-
dorsement of Bryan and Sewell nv the
PoIslist national convention and If was
largely due TO his speech yesterday that
the resolution sending an fnstructad
delegation to the ST. Louis convention
was adopted.
Mr. Sovereign captured the conveu-
ton and at the conclusion of his sneech
there was great enthusiasm and the
resolution. which Is a Bryan victory,
was passed without a dissenting vote
Mr.. Sovereign announced that he w-ould
soon take the stump in opposition TO a
single standard. The convention then

PRESIDENTIAL AUTOGRAPHS.
Nomination Raises n 5o-Cens Name to
SI.5O, Election to S3.

NominatfoR Raises u oo-Ccne Name e
S1.5O, Election to So.
Presidential year brings out a crop
OF interesting autographs Sometimes
1t brings entirely new men into tbs
market, but generally it lifts 25-cent
and 50-cent specimens to q higher
plane.
A republican nomination will carry
50-cent man to $3.50, while his cleo
ton will make il three dollars. If an
entirely dark horse should be chosen
his letters might easily be quoted at
from five dollars to ten dollars, as
there would be a great rush for him,
and probably an insufficient supply.
For long time Arthur was at ten
to twelve dollars, but is now five TO sly;
dollars. Collectors who have complete
sets of presidents desire the new men
at once, and their competition drives up
the price.
AS ex-President Harrison generally
dictates his letters the price of his auto
graph letters continues very high.
The democratic nomination at Chi
cago viii help the value of some man
for time, but it will probably drop
back after November.
McKinley's letters have never been
very plentiful and have generally sold
at one dollar. He is already worth
two dollars, and will be higher later on.
The letters OF vice presidents are
never in very great demand, unless for
other reasons than holding that Office.
1t is en- Office of possibilities and
amounts TO very little in itself.
With the new president comes new
batch of cabinet officers, and it gen
orally includes several unknown men.
1t is generally months before any of
their letters turn up, but they come in
time.
The autograph fiend is very busy in
these times and his pressing communi-
cations form a large part of the mail
of each presidential candidate. Like
the poor, the fiend is always with US:
but let us be gentle with him, as often
he graduates into reputable collector.

NEBRASKA roofs THE BILL
Capital Building Prepared for the Bryan
Shindy at Public Expense

Lincoln, Neb., July 16.-Considerable
feeling is manifested among the Repub-
Gcan state officers over the latest de-
velopment in the preparations for the
Bryan reception at the capitol tomor-
row night With the exception of Gov
ernor Holcomb, all the state officers are
Republicans. Yet these officials were
this afternoon compelled to witness
what might be termed a wholesale cap
ture Of the state house. On the main
floor of the building, and directly be-
meath the dome, a large octagon frame
has been elevated bearing eighty cleo
trio light bulbs. The area has been
handsomely carpeted and the state
hags and bunting in charge of Adju-
tant General Barry, have been utilized
extensively in decorations of the build
ing. With the exception of the govern
or, the state is under Republican DOM
ination.
Thrifty thousand visitors are expect
ed to be in the city tomorrow and par
tcipate in the reception. 1t is now de-
hnitely settled that on next Monday
the delegates from Utah. Colorado and
Wyoming on their way TO the St. Louis
convention viii stop over at Lincoln
and pay their respects TO Mr.. BRYAN, on
Which occasion assurances of support
or substantial nature will be given.

WHEELwcjMAN'S ADVENTURES.
Two Exciting Incidents of . Thirty Mile
Spin In Oregon.

Tive Exciting Incidents of . Thirty-Mile
Spin In Oregon.
The days of "the foot log and the
trail" are not yet passed in Oregon, and
the pioneers who brave the trials and
put the foot logs across the branches
will be interested in learning how they
answer for bicycle travel.
A Portland lady has been visiting
friends at Roseburg, and a few days
since she started from there to visit
relatives living about 30 miles out in
the mountains. She is an energetic and
accomplished bicyclist and got along
very well on her journey for about Is
miles, when the road gave out. She
found q trail which she followed for
about a mile, when she came to foot
log over a narrow stream. She was
afraid TO try to walk across the log with
her wheel, but having confidence in her
skill as rider, determined to ride
across. When about half way over
something went wrong and she and the
wheel plunged into the stream and went
to the bottom She rose to the surface,
and being q good swimmer, succeeded
in reaching the shore. She then de-
manned at the bottom. Securing long
pole with a limb near the end which
formed hook, she started in to fish for
her bicycle, and after some trouble
yanked it out. The trail beyond the
creek was level and in good condition
and as night was approaching, she con-
cluded TO mount and make desperate
effort to reach her destination.
She had just got under good Roadway
and was scorching along when she saw

closely 10 the limbs of the rider, giving
her weird appearance. As has been re-
marked, the Portland woman was a
skilled rider and having been accustomed
to having everybody Gear the way for
her she was not going to back down for
a bear, so she charged down on him at
full speed, ringing her bell like mad.
The bear, seeing certain death, or six
months in the hospital inevitable,
wheeled out of the path, and the lady
whirled by in a blaze of golden glory.
She did not stop to look back, but put
her best foot forward" and fortunately
soon arrived at the house of her friends.
She did not attempt TO come back
alone.-Portland Oregonian.

FOURTEEN BODIES FOUND
Overloaded Ferry Boat CapsIzes Near
Cleveland, Ohio. With Fatal Results

Cleveland, o., July 16.@Several lives
were lost on an accident which occur
red about 7:30 O'Clock on the old river
bed near the ore docks of the Cleveland
and Pittsburg railway company. The
ore handlers had just quit work for
the day and were waiting their turns
to cross the branch of the river on the
f1atJbottomed ferry boat which they
had provided for this purpose. When
the ferry reached the dock the last time
at least twenty men crowded upon it.
The boat, which is about thirty feet
long and not more than four feet wide,
would carry safely not more than a
dozen hands. The stream is not wide
however, and the hurrying ore handlers
had no thought of danger. The boat
was pushed from the shore and was
being propelled across the stream. When
it was about half way over the frail
craft was swamped from the wash from
a passing steamer and it began TO sink
Then. as the men rushed TO the side,
it turned over. AL the occupants
were thrown into the water. Those
who remained on shore, alarmed at the
capsizing Of the little craft, at once
threw iife-preservers and planks 20 the
unfortunate men but most of them sank

TO swim ashore. while one or two were
picked up by a tug.
The first report Of the accident plac-
ed the number OF dead at TWENTY-FIVE
but that proves to have been an exagger

station is near the scene of the accident
was summoned az once and the work of
searching for the bodies was begun.

sion and across the church. and lifted
the body into the coffin. The pope had
been very much beloved by all who were
near him, and more than one gray
haired prelate shed tears of genuine
grief that night.
In the coffin, in accordance with an
ancient custom, bag was placed con-
tanning % medals, one of gold. one of
silver and one of bronze fer each of the
81 years during which Pope Plus had
reigned; and history of the pontifi-
cate, written on parchment, was also
deposited at the feet of the body.
When the leaden coffin was soldered,
six seals were placed upon il, five by
cardinals and one by the archivist of the
chapter of St. Peters. During the whole
ceremony the parliamentary apostolic,
the chancellor of the apostolic cham
Der and the notary of the chapter of st.

down the detailed protocol OF the pro-
ceedings.
