oRPHEUM OPENS MONDAY.
Management Obtains Permission
From Board of Health.

With the opening of the schools,
comes the removal of the ban upon
the Orpheum. The news will be well
come to many, as matters in connec-
ton with amusements have been rath-
er duh of late, and a good hearty
laugh will prove a panacea that will
help to dispel much of the shadow
which has lowered over the commu-
nifty for the last few weeks.
The theater has been kept cleansed
against a possible opening at short no
tice, while the company, many of
whom have been awaiting for many
days an opportunity to display their
talents, have rehearsed and re-rehears-
ed until all are in good form.
The program contains much Of mer-

company, and Allan Dunn of the ia

successes, and Sid Baxter will also re-

tonic, the strong man, will make their

will doubtless add to their reputation:
as entertainers before many hours
have passed.

Found the Plague.

The Police Station proved a haven of
refuge to one man at least last night.
At i o'clock this man rolled into the
station and complained that when he
went home at o'clock he found the
black plague sitting on his front YER
anda, and fearing to approach too near
he returned with all speed and notified
the police of the fact. 1t took him an
hour and half to walk about a quarter

VISION.
General Buffers turning movement.
Great Britain has to face the worst
disaster in a campaign thus far dis
astrous. Open talk is heard of the alb
solute necessity of abandoning Lady
smith to its fate, while Lord Roberts
resorts to the original plan of an adj
vance over the Orange river upon
Bloemfontein.
To Ladysmith the disappointment
must be very bitter. A dispatch from
the Boer laager near the town, dated
January 24th, describes the garrison as
very evidently preparing desperate
coup in order to effect a junction with
General Buffers advancing army"
1t may be regarded as a certainty
that, in the confident hope of early re-
lief Sir George White has lately been
issuing extra rations, and this fact has
given rise to an exaggerated idea as to
the length of time the provisions would
last.
Even should it be decided to send
General Butler re-enforcements and to
attempt to reach Ladysmith by move
ment through the still more difficult
country east of Colenso, it is extremely
doubtful whether the garrison could
hold out long enough, as such a move
ment would occupy at least a month

son is that their eggshelI is naturally

to arrest him. His arrest at the time 1t did occur was as unlocked for by us as it was by him, and was more of am accident than design. MT. Walker himself will tell you that the order for his arrest was read to him two minutes after he was arrested It is simply nonsense ito say that he was confined because he pinned court notice on the governors door.
 Is a Trivial Matter
 ''It's trivial matter" continued Colonel Williams Since MT. Walkers arrest we have hardly given hhe matter a thought, and Ihis lJber'ty was granted him simply for the rcIlscn that to keep him incunfinement was not c'nly a hardship ito him, but to us alsio, as we had made no provision for prisoners"
 "It will take some time to get together the judge advocate and members of. the courtmartial and we have no desire to in- fiict any needless hardship on MT. Wal ker" '.+

 '4The affiant, Alonzo Walker, says that he executed the written notice by enter ing the executive building in Frankfort, Ky, and attempting to gain admission to w. s. Taylor; after being refused admis- sion he then posted copy of the written notice on the door facing the interior and private office of said W. S. Taylor at 12 o'clock noon on the second day of Feb ruary, 1900. in which said office were the said W. s. Taylor and Daniel R. Collier
 "Affiant further states that he is not in- terested, directly or indirectly, in the mat ter of litigation and he is a citizen of Ken lucky and over 16 years of age
 'Affiant further states that the reason he did not make an immediate or earlier re- turn of the execution of said notice was because he was immediately, by order of said w. s. Taylor, arrested and has since the second day of February, 19OO been confined as a prisoner in the state house at Frankfort and kept under guard by armed men under command of w. S. Taylor.

London, February 5.-The Pietermaritz- burg correspondent of the Daily Mail, tele- graphing yesterday, says: General Bull Ter has undoubtedly secured the road to Iadysmith, and should reach fGs objective poinH this week. It is believed the object of the Boers in occupying Ngutu Zululand is Ito secure the road from Dundee to Vry- hetd tn case of retreat.
 1T learn from a reliable source that Gem eral Joubert was seriously injured by a shell in the fight at Willow Grange, and That he will never be able to command again on horseback. My Informant says tlhaat he has, in fact, retired from the field.
 'sThe Boers admit that the attack on Uadysmtth was a serious blunder, and would not have occurred if General Jou- bert had been dn command.

THE LEGISLATORS
 ARE LEAVING An Exodus of Lawmakers from Frankfort-VariouS Re-
 ports Circulated.

Frankfort, Ky, February 4.-Members of Frankfort today. Nearly every member has left the city, the republicans having gone in the direction of London, and the majority of the democrats to their homes, although a small number of them have gone to Cincinnati.
 Few, if any, of the democrats who have gone will return to Frankfort until after the session of the legislature which is called for Tuesday at London, has been held, although a large number of them expect to be present at the funeral of Gov ernor Goebel.
 As a usual thing many members leave the city on Saturday to spend Sunday at their homes, but the exodus has never be- fore been so complete as at this time. The leaving of the democratic senators and representatives has been upon the advice of their attorneys, who have told them that 1t would, all things considered, be the best thing for them to go to their homes or to some place where they could not be reached in hurry if attempts should be made to arrest them and take them to Lon don as threatened by the military forces of lHe SldJS.
 It has been decided by the democrats that they will make no resistance in the event of arrest and conveyance to London, but that when they arrive they will not vote upon any subject that may be brought be- fore the session. There have been numer- ous rumors all day that the democrats in- tended to hold session of their own at some place in the state outside of Frank fort. Sometimes the rumors named Cow ington, and sometimes it was London. The report could not be substantiated in any way, however
 Representative G. T. Berry, who was about the only member of the house around the Capitol hotel today, said that he had been advised to go away from Frankfort until after the republicans had started their session in London, but said that he had de- cided to remain here. He denied that there was any intention to hold a democratic ses- sion of the legislature at some place out side of the capital of the state.
