AT THE THEATERs.

The success of the Giffen-Neill company at
the Metropolitan in "a Social Highwayman"
has been quite pronounced. There seems to
be q great fascination to the average
auditor in clever criminal. and If that
person be a fashionable criminal the interest
is so much the greater. Courtice Jahrey,
the fashionable thief n "a Social Highway
man." is most peculiar character. Occasion
ally there is feeling almost of disgust Tor
this great, big, strapping man who prefers to
steal rather than earn a living by honest
toll but yet when Jaffrey insinuates that he
will abandon the girl he loves because a bet
ter man than himself loves her, and refuses to
allow an innocent man to go through the
world accused of his thievery, both tend to
excite an almost involuntary sympathy to go
out to him. And as for Handy, the servant
of a thieving master, while he has shown
himself to be deliberate thief, he shows
he has a grateful heart and nature ap-
precfatiye of kindness done him, and excites
pang of sympathy as we'll.

ROAD TO BE BUILT.
Yankton Is Happy Over the Promis-

YANKTON, S. D., May 25.-A. T.
Nation, who was supposed to be fig
uring with j. J. Hill for the construc-
ton Of a railroad bridge across the
Missouri river at Yankton, and a rail-
road from this town to Norfolk, Neb.,
has turned over the entire work to
others, stating that all the property
has been turned over to n. d. Miller,
as agent for others. He, in company
with Miller, who is supposed to bs
Hills right hand man, came here yes
terday. After a short conference with
few people Mr.. Nation announced
that all the real property belonging
to the creditors Of j. T. M. Pierce. in
cluding the local electric light plant.
a number of houses and a couple of
business blocks, had been turned over
to Mr.. Miller, the chief engineer Of
the proposed new road.
1t is also announced that half a mill
lion dollars has been provided to COM
mence work on the bridge and railroad.
and that active construction will begin
by June To- The cash is to be dis
bursed by Miller, and the inference to
be drawn is that if the road is built
it will be done by MIR. Hill, and thai
otherwise the Great Northern will soon
come into possession of the Sioux City
short line bridge.
