win be one Of the most interesting the
Bellows stock company has yet given.
Tho management is said to have shown
liberality, intelligence, and good taste in
surrounding the players with elaborate
and artistic stage settings
The play was done here by Edward
sothern during the season of 1896 and
1887. and was one OF the most important
theatrical events OF that year. While the
story is not particularly striking one. 1t
affords the basis OF one OF the most inter-
eEting Of the many productions OF ro-
mantle plays that have been made during
the last decade. a young French woman
who, in order to save her father from
death for treason against the king. under
takes to trapa HuguenOt follower Of Henry
OF Navarro into a tryst with her, where
he may be taken. and, falling in love with
him. considers that she has bartercd away
her honor and gives up the undertaking.

Those Tcutonic comedians. the Rogers
brothers, who have the unique record OF
never having missed performance
through sickness. are athletes In the
hroadest sense. and their constant prac-
tice of calsthenies. gymnastics and
hygienic exercises is. for the most part,
directly responsible for n good deal OF
their success.
1t is a well established fact taat a
thoroughly sound body is almost abso-
lutly impervious to colds and the COM
mon ills from which the more serious
malGdies arise. and the Rogers brothers
believe this religiously.
They give eight performances weekly.
and occasionally. in the holiday season.
two and sometimes more extra perform
aGces are required OF them. They sing
at least dozen songs In their speciality
work, besides taking an active part in
several choruses; dance at least a half
score OF times; make eight complete
changes OF costume, and throughout the
play figure in the various "situa-
tions." They never complain OF fatigue.

Wheel Thieves.

Owners of wheels of any grade
should exercise care now if they dc
not wish to lose their wheels. The
wheel thieves are operating all over
the country and tLefts are reported
in nearly every exchange coming
into this office The thieves seem tC
have an organization. ride the wheels
into territory where they cannot be
recognized, and sell them at almost
any price. 1t is avery lucrative line
of business for those who care to run
the risk, and is getting worse every
day. The moral is, put your vince
away where the thieves can not get

The first theft for this spring in

was administered to Mrs. Mckinley
and she responded to the treatment.
But her life hangs by a thread. She
has taken no solid food since she
reached here on Sunday, and the ply
sicians do not believe she could sur
vive another sinking spell such as
those she has experienced. She suf-
fers little and bears up bravely. Dur
ing her periods of consciousness her
mind has been clear. The president
is constantly at her bedside. and al
though worn by his long vigil, is
standing the awful strain with re
markable fortitude. Every banquet
and public function planned in his
honor here has been abandoned, and
the city with heavy heart is watching
Mrs McKinleys battle for life. If
the end should come the president and
his party will be ready TO start back
with the remains within "a hours.
The train which brought them here
will be used on the return trip and
all the arrangements have been made
to go back by the shortest route, the
Central and Union Pacific to Chicago
and thence via the Pennsylvania to
Washington. If Mrs. Mckinley i'm
proves it is not believed that she will
be able to travel before week from

ception of Secretary Long. will remain

The annual report of the adjutant
OF the state G. \. K. gives some very
important figures on the standing of
this great order, which is different
from all others in many ways and
especially so Ii that the longevity of
human life has direct bearing on
the existence il will have. 1t is the
only order in which the membership
can not be kept up by the recruiting
of new members. None but those
who were engaged in the great war
Of 1851 % can become members, and
the gradual extinction OF the mem
bership is something that is watched
with interest as the years pass.
There were 1865 members in good
standing al the last report, Decem-
Der 81. 1900. The number remaining
in-good standing at present is 1871.
The order gained, however, in mem
bership by transfers from other
states. There are now 46l posts in
the state, y gain of six during the
year. The death rate among the
officers has been great. Out of 156
colonies appointed by Governor Nor
ton but sixteen now remain. The
average age of the veterans is now
TO years. The annual report of the

The South African Beers.

The dash and bravery of the South
African Beers in their present strug-
gle with England has astonished the
world, and general desire has been
to see and know what manner of men
they are. In order to crafty this
desire, Messrs. Cody and Salisbury
managers of Buffalo Bill s Wild West
have enrolled among their many at
fractions detachment of those war
rior-farmers who have been tempo
rarily incapacitated for actual ser
wee in the field. The fact that these
men are actually what they are rep
resented to be is attested by unques-
tionable credentials. and in many
cases by wounds and scars received
on the field of battle. They will take
part In every exhibition given by the
Wild West, and viii be seen on the
streets of this city in the parade
which takes place upon the morning
of the arrival of the Wild West.
