ADJUSTMENTS.
Grnnd-..shore Acres.v

That idyllic drama of "Shore Acres re-
turned to the Grand last night for it's last
engagement here by Mr.. Herne's company
and was greeted by a large audience. The
company was late in arriving and the man.
ayers were compelled to announce what
was great disappointment to the audi
ence because Mr.. Herne was not able to be
present to play his famous character of
Uncle Nat. No one cared to forego the
pleasure of the play. however, and the show
went on with James T. Galloway in Mr..
Hernes role. Mr.. Herne is said to be i'll
with pneumonia and was sent East from
Chicago to-day before the company started
careful and life-like impersonation of Mr..
took very kindly to his work and called
him before the curtain after the first act.
Mr.. Herne himself has never taken an en-
core in this play. Only in the more artistic
handling of the part could it be noticed that
the author himself was not playing Uncle
Nat One who had never seen play
would have been easily deceived into think
ing there was no change. All the well-re-
membered characters of the play were as
forcibly acted as ever and the beautiful pro-
duction gave apparently as much satisfac-
ton as when Ii was hrst seen here. Mr..
Herne has so thoroughly drilled Galloway
in is role that the play really suffers but
little. The company will remain the rest
of the week at the Grand, giving matinee
on SATURDAY.

Risky for the Teachers.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
An excellent notion is that of sending
along with a pupil when he is promoted
from one grade and teacher TO another. not
merely his percentage of scholarship. but a
brief analysis of his character and qualities.
Every teacher has to spend much of his
time and energy in watching and getting
acquainted with his students. Something of
this he will always have TO do. But such
: character sketch as is proposed would be
ike a letter of recommendation to one SEEK
ing new employment. Especially for pupils
with marked abnormal qualities, good or
and pain. and also often loss of time. To
be sure the plan is liable to abuse, but so
is any other good thing. And for general
good intention and kindly purpose the
teachers OF the public schools are to be
trusted If any class Of people in the world.

SEYMOUR, Ind. May 19-The primary
which was ordered by the Brownstown wing
of the Democratic party for the nomination
of a county ticket was held to-day. The
Bryan vote of 1896 in this township was S67.
but only forty-three votes were cast in the
township. Three votes were cast in Red
ding township out of nearly 400, and the
polls in Washington township did not omen
at all. In another large Democratic town
snip only six votes were cast. The refusal
or the Democrats to participate in to-day's
primary was caused by the methods which
were adopted by the courthouse ring In die
tatlng nominations. The rules adopted by
the ring committee will prorate the entire
vote OF this township cast for Bryan in

although only forty-three were cast There
is no doubt that the Republicans and dis
satisfied Democrats will unite on a fusion

At o'clock this morning flames shot
up through the roof of the building.
Ten minutes later little crowd of ex-

to check a roaring fire that licked up
dry buildings as if they were tinder
boxes. For three hours the fire ragged.
Despairirg of every other remedy. a
gang of men started blowing up build
ings that connected the business district
with the rest of the town. Blast after

ON board this morning, those who slept
sharp reports of guns. With the ex-

guns, always expected. any explosion
creates excitement now, and this was
the case today until it was learned that
the steamer Scorpion was firing salute.
The salute was returned, and then came
the newspapers containing the press
dispatches of Dewey's victory. From
stoker to commodore, every man in the
squadron knew of the victory within an
hour. Officers and men went at routine
work with enthusiasm, Knots of those
off duty discussed the meager details,
and nearly every body said: 81 told
you So"
Commodore Schley refused to dis
cuss the matter, except to say, "It was
what was to be expected from Dewey"
AS the most definite news of Dewey's
success came there was great jubilation,
The Brooklyn was the first ship to carry
Commodore Dewey's flag, and, these
messages were sent:
''To Dewey: The Brookly, which
first flew your flag, glories in your VIC
tory. OFFICERS AND CREW.
tTo Dewey; The flying squadron
says to the Asiatic squadron: Bully,

1t was with great difficulty that the
men conld be restrained from outbursts
of enthusiasm when the bulletins were
posted forward, and Commodore Schley
said that if the official news was as
good as the press dispatches, he would
let the men yell themselves hoarse.
