sCyEano de Bergerar, " the romantic
drama which is the signal dramatic
success Of the present season, was pro-
duced for the first time in this city
at the Grand last night by the Tommy
Shearer company. The audience was
attracted by the play, perhaps, more
than the company, yet those who at
tended with this view were treated to
an agreeable surprise. No person
would undertake to make comparison
OF the Shearer production with the
work OF the great dramatic stars who
are appearing in the famous play. but
the "Cyrano' which was presented last
night was very pleasing play, and
was appreciated by the audience. The
costuming was elegant and the special
stage settings were appropriate. The
engagement OF the Shearer company
will close to-day with "A Coal Black
Lady" as the matinee bill and 1.-THE
Wolf of the Mines" at night.

OIL NEWS.

The Morgantown people who were
interested in the suit Of VIM. M. Carr
and others against the Battelle Oil
Company, are elated over the failure of
the plaintiffs to get the injunction to
prevent them drilling any more wells
on the territory in dispute between
them. They say that the Carr people
have no right to the territory and that
they will have no trouble in knocking
them out when the case is taken up on
its merits, in May, before the United
States Court at Parkersburg. Five
hundred and twenty-three acres are in
volved and three-fourths of this is
claimed by the Carr people, who value
it at $4,000.
The Sarah E. Eddy No. came in
on Wednesday and it at first was
thought to be two hundred and fifty
barrel producer. However the drill
has gone further into the sand and the
we'll is now doing over seven hundred
barrels. This well was expected to be
one of the poorest on the place. Four
others are being drilled, and one of
them will be in on Saturday. The No. 1
is making about two hundred barrels.
Morgantown people own this territory.
A number of University people are in
terested in it. They are very much
pleased over the outlook.

edy, pure and simple, and interpreted

of experience, he knows just what the
theatres going public of the day want
and in this production will be found
all the requirements, and in fact lit
tie more than is generally to be seen
in plays of this kind. AS German
comedian Mr.. West hardly has an equal

the CHARACTERIZATION burlesquing the

especially engaged Billy Barry, Jr., son
of the late Billy Barry. Though yet
young in years, Mr.. Barry inherits the
vein of Irish comedy that made his
father famous.

after Richard Harlow went in
to the continuous houses. The
part of Isabella originally played
by Mr.. Barnet himself, is well adapted
to the purpose of exhibiting a male So

has struck his element. Mr.. Stuart
himself has trained his already clear
soprano voice to the delicate flutey ef
fects often most admired in the female
soprano, and this he uses with most
elaborate and interesting technique.

lola SCHOOL OPENS
After the Delay Caused by
the New Building the
City Schools Open.
HON. {. h. SHOWS ADDRESS
He Makes an Eloquent APP
peal for the Higher Edu-
cation of the Masses.

On Monday the public schools of
lola opened for the year 1S99-19O0.
The attendance Is larger
far than ever before and with the
addition of the handsome new high
school building andi the in.
crease of the corps of instructors the
year promises to be the best in the
history of the schools. The north and
south buildings started off with APP
propriate exercises and will soon be
down to hard work.
At the new high school, which is
practically finished, gathered several
hundred young students and their
friends, the school board and teachers
to listen to the address of Chancellor
Snow, If the State University. The
new building, handsome brick
structure, two full stories and Uase-
ment, and a laboratory under the
roof, erected at a cost of $4,000 is
the pride of the town. In the base
ment is q laboratory, the dry closets
and a play room. On the first floor
are recitation rooms, for the lower
grades, four in number, equipped
with cloak rooms and large airy halls.
The second floor has one DOM extend
ing across the entire building, and
half its width, making one of the
largest and haudsomest high school
room in the State, Several recitation
rooms occupy the rest of this floor,
The entire interior lie finished hand
somely and is certainly worthy the
beautiful architecture of the exterior,
and the youth of lola certainly owe a
debt of gratitude to the board and the
ctizens of this town for giving them
such temple of learning,
The exercises at the high school
were conducted by Miss Mitchell, the
superintendent. After few WELDON
ing remarks by her, the school sang
hymn. Rev. Bruner then read from
the Scriptures and offered a prayer.
Chancellor Snow was then introduced
and spoke in part as follows:
"The greatest glory of our American
Republic is unquestionably the free
public schools. The greatest glory
of the State of Kansas is the fact that
she was the first among the Ameri-
Can Commemorative to establish a
connected system OF schools In which
both boys and girls should receive
free instruction from the lowest
grades in the country and city die
tricts to the end of the four-years'
courses OF study in the University.
The greatest glory of the city of lola
lies in the fact that she has not been
80 blindingly dazzled by her extra
ordinary commercial development as
to forget the needs of her higher
nature.

cordial congratulations that you the

Increased Attendance.

The enrolment of the public
schools is not nearly completed and
will not be for several weeks, because
of the changes made. Grades which
went to one building last year will
go to another this year, and the cree
ton Of the nigh school building
necesstates the city being divided
into three instead of two sections. 1t
has been decided to so arrange things
that each pupil shall find his work
as convenient to his home as possible,
and this all takes time, and in some
instances the entire furniture OF
rooms will have to be taken up and
changed.
The enrolment in the public schools
on the evening of the frat day show
ed 900, of whom l44 were IN the high
school Last year the first days en-.
rollment was S54, with 1875 IN the
high school. The gain on the first
day of IA is gratifying, and the
figures will doubtless be- increased
steadily.
