paper, and see that the Maine Artillery has
arrived. l need not tell you that we envy
them, for IL there is any place the Texas
boys would rather go than Texas that
place is the grand old Southern city, Sa-
vannah. Rumors fly thick and fast now
and keep us In suspense all the time. Eve
ry one thinks his regiment Is the first to
go and some regiments are likely to be dis
appointed / am selfish enough to hope It
won't be our regiment, but / am afraid
the government will hold us until your
quarantine law takes affect, and then we
shall have to go somewhere else. We have
nice camp here, large tents with good
floors. and are more comfortably fixed up
than we have been at any other camp. Ha-
vana, Cuba wouldn't be half so bad a
place If il were filed with Savannah peo-
pie. But as 1t is, we would be only too
glad to bid it a long farewell. When we
first came lots of the boys said they were
coming back when they got out OF the SER
vice, but think most of them have chang
ed their minds. There Is nothing here for
the American working man. If one were
wealthy and could bring his wealth and

Hoyt's latest comedy, "A Day and
Night" was presented at the theater last
night to house crowded from stage to
ceiling The fact that the occasion was
the Elks Charity Benefit had much to
do with the size Of the audience, but the
applause and encores that greeted every
musical number was due to the thorough
and uniform excellence of the cast and
the bright and breezy fun of the comedy
itself. Some of the fun was possibly
trihe broad to suit the taste of the young
person." but certainly none of it was Of
fensive
The cast was headed by Otis Harlan,
and the production, as given last night,
is identical with that al the Garrick thea
ter, in New York, where the play had its
initial performance. AS Marble Hart, the
gentleman from New Jersey, who is not
half as green as he looks, Mr.. Harlan
scored a distinct success. His honors were
shared by Miss Mae Lowery and Miss
Clarissa Agnew, who took the parts of
Iona Brougham and Mile. Bawn Touraine,
respectively The songs were capitally
funny and the music catchy. The per-
Torrance throughout was thoroughly en-
joyable.

that place for new field of labor. The
Record says:
Some of the warm friends and adj
mirers Of Rev. C. T. Clifford planned
and carried out an agreeable surprise
on that gentleman last evening. 1t was
in the nature of cash contribution and
was, for the most part at least, made
up among men who profess no particu-
lar sect, but who rather admire the
gentleman for his true worth as man
and citizen-and this worth has been
clearly shown during his three years
stay here. So last evening all those
who could be present went in body to
the Clifford home and one of the party
in brief speech presented the sur
prised recipient with wallet contain
ing some $34 in money. Rev. Clifford.
despite his surprise, responded in a
neat speech of thanks, and after short
time spent in leavetaking of the gem
tleman and his excellent family all left,
feeling it was good to have been there.
Rev. Clifford and family will leave this
week for Clifford, Ia, and the warm re-
gard of their many friends in Mel
bourne will go with them. If the world
was full of men as good rs Rev. G. I.
Clifford, and also as some of those who
have been instrumental in bringing
about this happy surprise for him, IL
would be much more pleasant place in
which to spend the years allotted to us

CASE DISMISSED.

The case brought against MI Lloyd
Maxwell, of this city. by Manager car

supply Company, Des Moines branch,
in which the embezzlement of $500 IN
company funds was charged. was dis
missed from Justice Aliens court Mon
day afternoon. Mr.. Carpenter appeared,
but County Attorney Stone, for the
state. asked for continuance OF
week. The court refused to grant TINS,
as his Jurisdiction would be only over
preliminary hearing, and by that time
the grand jury could take the matter
up if 1t were deemed best. 1t is
thought the matter is dismissed for
good, as Mr.. Carpenter would in all
probability have had his evidence
ready had he considered his case strong
enough to warrant a conviction. Mr..
Maxwell is not worrying at all over
any future trouble arising, and he was
ready in court Monday with evidence
which he claims would have proved MS
Innocence and showed that the COM
pany owed him money to the amount OF
about $500 instead of his being the
debtor

Tho County Vote for Sheriff Two
Years Ago.
The following table Of figures gives
the vote for sheriff two years ago. when
w. D. Mills, the republican candidate,
was defeated by Mr.. Mcpherson. The
figures show that Mcpherson carried
eight precincts outside Of MARSHALL
town. These We're Jefferson, Timber
Creek and Liberty. always Democratic;
Logan and Washington. always close
and liable to go either way by few
votes, and Marion, Linn and LeGrand
No. 2, republican strongholds. In Eden
and State Center Mills and Mcpherson
broke even. The latter made gains in
nearly every precinct in the county.
This year he will not be able to do this
He will carry the three strong demo-
cratic townships, may carry Logan and
Washington, but will lose Linn, LIE
Grand No. 2, and possibly Marion. An
other matter he will not be able to
overcome. Two years ago the vote for
sheriff was 219 less, than that cast for
the balance OF the ticket. This means
that 219 republicans, while they would
not vote for the republican nominee,
refused also to vote for the democratic
candidate. AS there Is no objection
whatever to Mr.. Shoemaker this year,
he will receive all of these PIG votes.
