LOVERS ARE REUNITED.
william Jensen WEEDS Leonsa Weigert, of
Wurtemberg, Germany.


wurtemberg, Germany.
The following dispatch from New
York has local interest, as the man in
the case is from a Henry county
town:
Miss Leonsa Weigert, the pretty
daughter of wealthy parents in Wurt-
EN- berg. Germany. and William Jen-
sen of Andover, Ill.,, met abroad last
summer, and after Jensen had re-
turned to America kept up regular
correspondence. Finally, Miss Weigert
consented to marry Jensen, and early
in March cabled that she was about to
start for the United States by the
steamship Patricia. She arrived here
on March II, but Jensen remained in
ignorance of the fact. He communi-
Gated with the immigration authori-
ties, who answered that Miss Weigert
had arrived, but had left no clew as to
her whereabouts. Jensen, accom-
panied by William Inquerson, of Chi
cago, came here. They were about to
give up the search when the officials
of the steamship line last Sunday sug-
gested that Jensen consult with Depu-
ty Marshal Frederick Bernhard. The
deputy marshal found Miss Weigert
living in the flat of Mrs Staub, at 204
East One Hundred and Twenty-fourth
street. Miss Weigert and Mrs. Staub
had been fellow-passengers on the
Patricia. Miss Weigert said she had
written to Jensen. Jensen said the
missive had never reached him. He
feared that something serious had
happened to his sweetheart. She had
believed that Jensen no longer cared
for her. The young couple went to
Jersey City. and Deputy Marshal
Bernhardt learned that they were to
be married soon in Chicago"

vaudeville features between the acts.
The Village Postmaster" is anoth-
er of the rural entertainments which
have come to enjoy such prestige of
late years, and whose development
and popularization is a blessing for
the stage. One night of The Village
Postmaster, we are told, with it's in
nocent fun, it's simple but charming
story, and its wholesome lessons, is
worth 10 years of experience with
plays of the baser sort. Archie Boyd
and the original cast with the COM
plete New York production will be
seen at the Burtis opera house to-
night. This is the New England play
that has created such a sensation
in New York and which had a run
at the Fourteenth street theatre
there of 227 nights. 1t is with pleas
ure that the attention of theatre pat
rons can be directed to such play.
The most important and interest
ing Shakespearean revival of recent
years is the production of 'EThe Win
ter's Tale" which comes to the Burtis

cast headed by 1.-the great star trium-
virate," Louis James, Kathryn Kid

ryn Kidder and Charles B. Hanford

Winters Tale" is play which de-
mands superb stage setting. Every
thing that money and artistic taste
can provide in the way of settings.
perfectly harmonious costumes and
all the accessories of music and light,
which the American stage knows,
have been provided. Stage picture
after stage picture full of picturesque
beauty delight the eye, while the mas
terful actors who are in this company
develop to the fullest extent the dra-
matte strength of Shakespeare's mas
terpiece. and do full justice to the ex-
quisite poetry. The company en-
braces 81 people beside the three dis
tinguished principals, and includes
such well known names as Barry

II am confident of securing action
on the bill increasing the appropria-
ton for arming and equipping the

with a request made by Col. Marsh
the ordnance bureau has furnished
figures showing the cost of arming

6-gun battery. The cost for an in
fantry regiment is $26, $50, of which
amount $17, 945 is required for arms,
and SO, $50 for equipment. For
equipping cavalry regiment the to-
tai is $2S, 1914, of which $14 424 is for
carbines, $1,000 for sabers and s., 290
