Something Funny Coming Next.

Elmer Walters is presenting a come
dy entitled, Where is Cobb? which will
be seen at the Manager opera house
tomorrow night. 1t is a concoction in
three acts and concerns the efforts of
one l.. Cobb, who is a strong-miuded
man from Jersey to throw off the mask
OF his son, Phillip, who has represent
ed himself to his father as in needy cir
cumstances.
Phillip is married to a beautiful ac-
tress, who having received a star part
at a New York theater decides to con-
ceal the fact of her marriage in hope
Of receiving increased popularity.
Upon the arrival of L.eander Cobb,
who is aware hat there is more
than one family named Cobb. living
in the same house, meets. and mis-
takes the janitor's wife, Mrs. Cobb,
who is large and homely for his daugh-
ter-in-law. The action after that con-
tains no end OF comic complications.
The Jersey father makes love to his
cal daughter-in-law, which causes
jealousy on the part of his son. Lean
der Cobb is confronted with bills in.
cured by Phillip, for brandy baths, etc.
He meets Phillips German grocer, the
irish butcher, the tough gas man, and
after seeing the LIE Fever Twins and
insulting Bill Cobb, the %janitor, and
F~erdynand Prynce, an actor of the old
school, he is finally incarcerated,
charged with an over abundance OF
Jersey lightning and Manhattan prune-
juice.

Mr.. McMillin has formally announc-
ed his candidacy to succeed himself as
governor, asking that honor in indorse-
ment of his administration. At the
same time he expresses a desire to sue
ceed Mr.. Turley in the senate. The
voluntary declination of Mr.. McMillin
to openly enter the senatorial contest,
leaves Messrs. Carmack and Snodgrass
as the avowed, clear cut candidates.
