ing good business man, the county can

The force which served under Mr.. Lloyd
has been retained This is well deserved
oy them for the excellent work they
done.
Mr.. L. A Wilson, the deputy treasurer,
h been a popular officer at the court
house. During the past four years he
has ever been at his post OF duty and he
has performed the work as well as could
be expected Of any man. 1t is fortunate
to have him retained as he already IN
derstands the working OF the Office.
o. W. Jones is the bookkeeper. A
heater set Of books can't be kept. The
system of bookkeeping is perfect and no
one is more thoroughly competent TO
have charge Of the books than Mr.. Jones.
While Mr.. William Hewey has been in
the ofRee Of assistant treasurer for only
a year, his services are invaluable. The
county commissioners have the appoint
ment of assistant treasurer, and they

Mr.. Hewey, who has already proven him
self entirely capable of doing more than
the work in his position.

the present appointment His successor

many men under his supervision and he

ment was heard here last night every one
who knew of it was pleased to know OF

Grey and he appreciated them. In his
business affairs he was admired and the

cessor at Monet will probably he made
this week, and predictions are being made
as TO who the man will be.

In what is styled a romantic drama and
called Aria" Miss Mildred Holland made
her appearance at the Columbia Theatre
last evening. The play, written by Theo-
dore Kremer especially for the star. is
a story of Austrian life, based On
Schiller's well-known "Kabale ind
Liebe." The scene is laid in a small Aus
trian principally in the latter part OF
the eighteenth century. Aria. a daughter
Of a poor musician. is brought in contact
with the son OF -the president of the prin-
cipslity They are mutually attracted
and plan TO marry. but an intriguing
Duchess, who is infatuated with th2
presidents son, Baron Roland Won
Uohenlohc. plots to disgrace the heroine
and win her betrothed. She is capablg
aided by several court persoaages. To
save her fathers life and her mother from
public torture, Aria is compelled to write
an terminating letter and TO attend
ball at the palace Of the Duchess, where
she acts under durcss the part of tickle
aud heartlrss woman. The Baron is con
fronted with her at the reyols. believes
her false and after asking the hand OF

cious are unfoundcd and that the glass
Of water which she had brought and
which he had secretly poisoned is harm
less Aria drinks the remainder Of the
potion, and too late, reveals TO him the
infamous plot Of which they have been
the victims. The play ends with the
deaths Of both.
There are incOngruities in Miss Holland 5

ness in the first and a part Of the second
act But she fully atones for this by her
superb portrayal in the third and fourth
acts. In fact the denouement in the
