Jolly Isaac Payton.

large nuulper vi men arouhu
town were trying to do the bear
dance today, the result Of
seeing Isaac Payton in "a Much
Married Man" at the Bonebrake last
Monday. Not in a long time has there
been a crowd Of attendants
at the Bonebrake taking standing
room only but they did last night.
The house was crowded and the large
audience was kept in good humor,
punctuated with frequent applause,
all through the performance. 1t was
laughing success and everybody
was pleased with the performance.
Isaac Payton really does not need any
help to give show himself He is
one of the few stars in comedy that
the town has seen and his work last
night was amply repaid by the ap-
plause that greeted every appearance.
There was no time to rest either. The
support given Mr.. Payton was first
class and the portrayal of the woes of
the much-married man awoke ten
der strain of sympathy among whole
lot of people. They rather enjoyed
it when he finally asserted his author
ity and made his tormentors "stand
around"
There were some tip-top specialties
too. Owing to the lack of electricity
some moving pictures and illustrated
songs were necessarily omitted, but
the dancing and singing which occu-
pied every minute between acts kept
the audience interested. The best
"coon song" artist the town has ever
seen was the star Of this part Of the
program.
Manager Ellison of the opera house
is worried. He will have to 90 to the

companies on the road and believes in
giving good show all the time and
does it. His reputation in Abilene is
gilt-edged. The troupe is at Herring
ton tonight.
Beach a. Bowers minstres will be
here Monday night. This promises
to be good show of the kind.
Miss Georgiclla Lay, the accom-
plished pianiste who has been 50 long

aried accompanist in the United
States and this fact attests the inten-
tion of the management to render the
organization in every way superior.
Miss Lay has spent the summer
among the great musicians Of
Vienna, preparing herself especially
for the winters tour. As a soloist

ist she is unexcelled. At the opera

REGISTER OF DEEDS.


]. R. Van Voorst, the new register
Of deeds, greeted many callers with
his usual urRanity. Mr.. Van Worst
is one Of the county's most trust
worth citizens and the office will be
well administered. T. j. Rexroat,
bis assistant, was formerly teacher
at Banner though his home is north
Of Chapman. His presence adds an
other good-looking young man to Alb
ilene's list Of residents.
Miss Mace King, who has so ably
filled the position for one term and
was practically in charge Of the office
for the preceding term, left everything
in perfect order and leaves the court
house with the best wishes Of all.
The fees Of register in former times
were $500 to $50 a year. The
past two years they have amounted
to about $3.50 month. The new law
gives the register all fees to $1,000
in a year and one half the fees in ex-
cess of that sum, the remainder 60
ing into the county general fund.
The fees are reduced. There is no
provision for county payment OF a
deputy.
SHERIFF.
Sheriff N. B. Robson, who has
rounded out two years term entered
on a second term this morning. John
P. Hutchison continues as under
sheriff.
His salary is paid in fees which
have amounted to $4,000 to $4,000
year. Under the new law he gets all
fees until he receives $500 and two
thirds of all fees above that amount.
He gets no allowance for his deputy
and many Of the fees are reduced.
COUNTY CLERK.
A Republican county clerk again
took charge of that office, R. B. ia
cobs beginning business. Mr.. Jacobs
is one of the county's substantial citi-
zens, an old resident of Abilene and
one in whom everybody has the ut
most confidence. His office is an ex-
ceedingly Important one and it will
be filled with satisfaction. COL Z. H.
Dingee remains as deputy for the
present.
G. D. Kieffer, the retiring county
clerk, will be missed in the court
house as he has been there in sherff's
or clerks office as deputy or principal
for ten years. He has not yet deter
mined what business he will follow.
The county clerk has received
$4,000 a year. Under the new law he
receives 81, 400, but the commission
ers may appropriate any sum up to
5000 for pay of assistant.
CORONER, SURVEYOR AND TRUSTEES.
DR.. j. N. Ketchersid succeeds j. NJ.
