way. In a short time the king went in
to thereon and touched the dishes,
and they all turned to gold. Then the
queen came into the room, and he threw
his arms around her and she turned to
gold. Soon his little boy entered the
room, and before he could stop him

time the magician came back and
changed them all to their original form

With Great Credit.
SHERIDAN, Feb. 26.-The we'll known
drama, "Out in. the Streets" was
last aight presented at I. o. G. 7. hall,
under the auspices Of the Womans' Re-
lief Corps. of this town. The attend
ance was good, and the audience we'll
pleased. This is the third time the
play has been on the boards here, and
many of the dramatis PERSONA at this
presentation assisted in the play some
ten years ago. The play is short, but
interesting. O. F. Parmeter, as Col.
Wayne, was good; his part could not
have been better played. Solomon
Davis, the william, was a good combina-
ton of Carker and Uriah Heap, and
the part was we'll sustained by Charles
CHASER. Matt, Davis son, was a chip
of the old block, and only wanted time
to make as great a william. Harry
Foster played the part we'll. Mrs. May
Thomas, as Nina Wayne, made a typi-
cal daughter and sweetheart. Minnie
Bradford, the sick child. was done by
Miss Grace Faulkner, whose clear Tone
and distinct enunciatior we're the adj
miratlo of the audience. Mrs. Brad
ford, the evicted terent, was we'll play
ed by MIS-. Mabel CHASER. This is a
most difficult role, but the part was ur-
usually well sustained. No play would
be complete without a niger to make
fun. Ned Dickinson, as Pete, was the
hero of the occasion. AS a burnt cork
artist, Dicke son has no equal in this
part of the country.
After the play, JAS. G. Walker as an
Irish captain, drilled a squad of re
%cru;ts, much to the delight of the old
soldiers in the audience, who imagined
themselves on parade once more or
the old camp grounds of the Civil war,

Corruption Charged,

Quite commotion has been
caused in republican political cir
cles in Richmond by cOmmunica-
ton written by General Edgar Al
Ian, the deposed Richmond chair
man. Democrats are no less inter
ested IN the Allan circular. Gen.
Allan warns the republicans against
what he terms corruption on the
part of the Lamb faction i'll their
effort to secure delegates favorable
to the reelection of Colonel Will
liam Lamb at The Republican
State Convention which meets in
Stanton Thursday, April DID,
Just one weeks hence.
Gen. Allan quotes a letter which
he Chains was written by Colonel
Lamb to a republican county chair
man, as follows:
"How much would it take to con-
tract your county for delegates who
would sustain me at Staunton and
in sending unpledged delegates to
st. Louls?,

Charles ?. Jones, Of highland, will

He does not expect to run for the
