"A SPLENDID ATTRACTION.


"The Little Minister, Thursday Dec. 1st
Mr.. Charles FrOhman who has pro-
duced more plays and has had more sue
cess than any manager in this country
or Europe, has again scored a triumph.
When he secured J. M. Barrie, the au-
thor of the famous novel 1.-The Little
Minister" to make an adaptation of that
famous story for the stage he thought
that the play would be a success. but
it has gone far beyond his expectations.
This can be realized when it is stated as
a positive fact that "The Little Minis
ter" has been the success of the century.
Everyone seems to be familiar with the
novel, and its types of characters. They
are so peculiar that those who have read
the story are naturally anxious to see
what kind Cf play the author has made
of it. That he has succeeded admirably
is shown by the fact that everyone with
one accord praise it. Manager Myers is
highly delighted at having been able to
procure it. 1t will be seen in GAINESVILLE
Thursday December 21st. That it will
be greeted by an extremely large audi
ence and fashionable is an assured fact.
The demand for seats have been of such
a nature that before the company arrives
every seat will undoubtedly be sold.
Arrangements for seats can be made by
writing Peter L. Myers, Manager Mayors
Grand, GAINESVILLE.
H G. PAYNE of Milwaukee, has evolv-
ed plan for change Of representation
in the next republican national conven-
ton. Heretofore the state representa-
ton has been just double the representa-
ton in congress; that is, two delegates
from each congressional district and four
at large. This representation has been
accorded without reference to the repub-
lican vote cast. Thus have democratic
states come into the convention with a
larger delegation than some of the most
solidly republican states. The democra tic
states have exercised voting power suf-
ficent to thwart the will of those states
that were depended upon to elect the
nominee of the convention. For instance
Alabama with a republican vote of only
"a, 1877 can send under the present basis
of representation, % delegates to the
convention, while Wisconsin, with re-
publican vote of 26S, 1885, can have only
"a delegates in the convention. Mr..
Payne shows by his tabulation of figures
that the seven states of Alabama, Arkan-
sss, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana. Missis-
sippi and South Carolina, with repub-
lican vote 20O,O76, send 124 delegates to
the national convention, while Wisconsin
which polls $4,000 more republican votes
than all these seven states combined, is
entitled to only "a delegates in the con-
vention. In Wisconsin the representa-
ton is one delegate to every Hip re-
publican votes, while the seven states
named have representation of one del
egate to every 1914 republican votes.
And yet none of the seven southern
states named gives republican electoral
vote, while Wisconsin gives twelve.

Against Bucket Shops,

Chicago, Dec 6-The board of trade OF
has taken the first steps in what
is Intended to be concerted movement
of commercial exchanges all over the
country against the bucket SHOP system.
Resolutions adopted by the board of di-
rectors calling upon the exchanges to
this form of speculation have been circu-
lated by Secretary Stone of the board Of
trade and a number of replies have al
ready been received, all of which indicate
a strong feeling in favor of such a move-
ment. The purpose of the anti-bucket
shop crusaders is to strike at the bottom
of the whole business by securing the
aid of the New York stock cschange and
ton with the Chicago board of trade
form the business of nearly all of the
bucket shop operations in the country.
AmorS the exchanges which have been
communicated with are those of St.
Louis, Detroit, Buffalo. Indianapolis, Du
luth, Philadelphia, New Orleans. Balti
more, Milwaukee, Peoria and other large
grain and stock centers. If the general
sentiment is favorable to such move
ment, it is the intention, according to
Secretary Stone, to hold a convention to
discuss the most parctical manner in
which to do away with bucketshops. If
the replies are favorable, a committee
will at once be appointed to work out
preliminary plans.

Labor War Not Expected.

New York. Dec. GA report has been
published that a big war between the
labor unions and the building contractors
would begin at the first OF the new year,
which would extend over the greater part
Of this country, having as it's active CEN
tcrs Chicago, st. Louis, Pittsburg, Phil
adelphia and Boston. Inquiries among
builders in this city show that no such
trouble is anticipated here, and some are
skeptical as to war breaking out at all
the other points mentioned. 1t is true
that the granite cutters intend to de-
mand minimum wage of $3, and an
eight-hour day all over the country. be-
ginning on March l next but they are
already getting about $4 a day in this city
and the general opinion seems 10 be that
lheil demand will be granted without any
more vigorous opposition than a little
grumh,ng. The granite cutters have
served notice of their coming demand
upon the contractors so far in advance
that it would be easy to make new con-
tracts based on the increased cost of the
labor and will end peacefully. If there is
any other movement brewing which can
give color to the expectation of a general
labor war in the building trade it has not
made itself known in this city yet

are negro murderer of Mrs. LashbroOk,
was taken from the officers by a mob of
1000 men today and burned at the stake.
The mob led by the husband of the ne

to brush heaped about him and stood
guard until he was dead.
Before the roasting began. Coleman

ribly beaten. All was done that was pos
sible by the sheriff and guard to prevent
q lynching. but in the face Of such mob
OF people, irrespective of color. it was
useless to attempt doing anything.
The crime for which Coleman was
burned was the murderer or Mrs. James

and food. She was enticed by him to en-
ter a shed to see about some work when
he knocked her down with a club and as

At CovingtOn Jail, where he was placed
to escape mob violence, Coleman made a
full confession of the crime. Blue vitriol
and cayenne pepper We're thrown into
Coleman's eyes and his face was smashed
in with a club.
Prior to being set afire Coleman said
he had nothing to say. His death was
slow and writhing in terrible agony he
was hooted and glared at by thousands
of people. Many women were present.
His eyes, after the pepper and vitriol
were thrown into them We're gouged out,
and some say he was horribly mutilated.
