however you may look at II. although
certain tone that IL seems to have in the
first act is very materially lowered by the
clots OF melodrama that follow. In his
last dramatic experiment-in his present
selection Of plays and people-Mr. Fraw-
lev is treading close TO the danger line OF
tolerance. He has allowed too slight
margin OF safety. and II is his own fault
If the more discriminating element OF his
once enviable clientele has deserted him.
Frawley's name was one to conJure with
in the past, when he gave us Blanche
not count too much upon the things that
he has done and try 10 cajole the public
into believing that the Frawley company
must necessarily be a great organization
ager OF a theatrical company cannot rest
on his record and hope TO succeed with
Indifferent wares, which is a lesson that !
think Mr.. Frawley is taking to heart
about this time.
There are possibilities In the company
as IL Is; there Is promise OF better plays
in the future, and personally / wish Mr.
Frawley good luck in his enterprise: but
the necessity of reading him lecture is
not the less on his present showing.
The Sporting Duchess is a play of
modern English life In which the arts of
intrigue are dexterously employed and the
outspoken manner. There is never a
yelled allusion. but rather holiness OF
speech that is absolutely unnatural In its
crudeness. There is some good unaffected
dialogue and fair comedy. and, art aside.
the play is one OF movement and interest.

Fort Dodge- Sept. 21.--A strike which
promises to be a bitter struggle between
the owners Of the coal mines at Lehigh
and the miners is now on at Lehigh.
The conditions of the town OF Lehigh.
a coal mining town eighteen miles
southeast of this city, are those of a
regular Sunday and has been so for the
past two weeks. Fortunately the COM
pany had on hand sufficient amount of
coal to supply Its engines for some time
but this supply is now about exhausted
and coal from outside mines will have
to be purchased, a thing the company
has never had to do since the mines
We're opened by them. The Corey mine
was used to supply fuel for their brick
yard, which is an extensive plant. They
are completely out of red pressed brick
and no coal in the town with which to
burn more. They have had to cancel a
number of orders for brick on account
of the strike.
The cause of the strike is difference
of wages, the miners demanding the
district price per ton. which is 30 cents,
and $1.S4 per day for day men. AT pres
ent they are receiving as cents per ton
and $1.7s per day for day men.
The price of Coal is being advanced
here on account of the scarcity of the
supply.

Who Broke Into Illinois Central
Depot.
Special to Times Republican
Parkersburg, Sept. 21.-This town has
been infested of late by sneak thieves
and it is generally thought that all or
most of the burglaries have been com
mitted by home talent A short time
ago an attempt was made to rob the
Illinois Central safe by pounding the
door and lock all to pieces. SO the safe
had to be shipped to Chicago before it
could be opened. The company at once
put a detective on the trail and last
night he got Wallace Codner, more
commonly known as 'Blackie," to con-
TESS the whole affair after having him
in the sweat-box for short time. He
was promised leniency If he would give
the names of the other parties impli-
Gated. Charles Van Housen, a distant
relative. of '.Blackie's, was mentioned
as one of the parties and was immedi-
lately arrested, he being employed at the
present time in Conn's livery barn. And
a man by the name of Whitlock Is sup
posed to be the other man. He left
town few days ago, overland, headed
! for Des Moines. His occupation has
been mo work and passes for fourth
class horse trader. Codner has broth
er serving nine months sentence in
the county Jail now for burglary No
doubt Whitlock will be captured in a
short time, and most likely all three
will get a term in the penitentiary.

ened away at kaufman's before they
