Old Dan Tucker in Trouble.

Though his wife was dying and he
had just been Seryed with notice of a
damage suit, Dan Sherman leading
man IN the ''Old Dan Tucker" COM
pany, which appeared in Laporte Mon
day night, played the role of the jov-
ial farmer with such realistic effect
that the audience did not suspect the
sorrow and strain under which the
actor was laboring. MIS-. Sherman,
whose stage name is Mabelle De For
est, soubrette in the company, was
taken sick Friday night at Nappanee,
where she now lies critically i'll. Sun
day Sherman'S dog chased ball i'm a
baseball field, and as Andrew Holm,
player, grabbed for the ball the an
imal caught him in the hip. Though
the injuries were trifiing, Holm
brought suit for damages, and tied UP
the company SO that the manager was
compelled to accede to Holm'S de-
mandS in order to secure the release
of the troupe's baggage.

BIDS TOO HIGH
Washington Street Sewer Held Over One
Week-Other Council Business.

The city council held brief meet
ing Monday evening to receive and
open bids for the construction of the
Washington street sewer $50 feet in
length. Two bids were opened but
both were considered too high and the
council reserved its action until the
next regular meeting, when other
bids may be filed.
Attention was called to the fact
that at the west end of the LapOrte
street paving the street is not laid out
square and the street commissioner
was directed to consult with the city
engineer with view to finding a
remedy for the defect.
The cement walk i'm front of the
Reeve property on Laporte street
was found to be too low by four inches
and therefore out of line with the
other walks on that street. The con-
tractor, Mr.. Bowers, was ordered to
raise it to the established grade.
A peculiar state of affairs was dis
closed in reference to the property
line between the Reeve andRentschler
lots on Michigan street, where there
is strip one foot wide of which the
ownership is disclaimed by both
parties. The question was, who shall
build the walk on that strip? The
council appointed Parker and Ashley
as special committee to find an
owner and fix the liability for the
walk.
The council was informed that the
Pennsylvania company is about to
raise the grade of its tracks in Plym-
outh and that this improvement in
wolves the raising of the Vandalia and
Lake Erie tracks at the South street
crossing. Inquiry was made as to
whether the consent of the council is
necessary. The city attorney thought
not and the council agreed, provided
the company would construct the
necessary approaches and crossings.

David Harum IN Chicago.

An engagement of more than Or
binary interest in Chicago is that of
William III. Crane, who takes posses
sion of Powers Theatre in that city
on Oct. 21st for a considerable time
to present under Charles Frohman s
direction the dramatization of ''David
Harum."
The engagement is of special inter-
est to people of Ply mouth, for Judge
Capron was acquainted with the orig
inal of David Harum and has related
many incidents of his life not given
in Westcott's book.
The comedian presented the comedy
in New York nearly all of last season
and his success with it vergeS on the
phenomenal. 1t is held that Harum
is the most entertaining and best
drawn character in modern American
fiction. His prototype is known in
nearly every community and as West
colt pictured him he was delightfully."-
humorous.
OF all the actors on the stage, Mr..
Crane is best fitted to impersonate
the shrewd old chap who believed in
the maxim. as he himself expressed it,
"Do unto the other Teller as you would
have him do unto you, only do him
fuSt." Mr.. Crane gives capital por-
trait of the old fellow and not only
takes possession of his outward SEM
blance but of his heart as well.
He shows three sides of the old
chaps character-pictures him at his
hobby, trading horses; later as man
of leisure in his bank and finally
brings into view the best side of his
nature i'm his home. In the work of
transferring the story to the stage,
very few liberties were taken with it
and in the play are found all the ia
miliar characters and all of the quaint
expressions and humorous philosophy
of the book.
Mr.. FrOhman has surrounded Mr..
Crane with capitas company and at
the close of the Chicago engagement,
will take the play to Boston, where it
will finish out the season. Through
out the Chicago engagement at
Powers Theatre it has been decided
to give matinees on Wednesdays as
well as on Saturdays.

ONE RAILROADS. VALUE AND IFS
ASSESSMENT.

lDeS Moines Leader.1
Charles T.. Perkins. of the Burlington
directory. has practically confirmed the
statement that the road has been sold
10 the HillMorgan syndicate. He says
an offer of $500 per share has been made
for Burlington stock. and he advises ac-
oeptance. The actual transfer of stocks
is yet to be made, but there seems no
likelihood of the rejection of the offer
In addition to the general interest att
taching to the sale of one of the rail-
roads OF most Importance to Iowa, the
price offered per share is of special In
terest to Iowa at this time, for the light
1t throws on the Iowa railroad assess
ment question The Burlington railroad
has outstanding shares to the par value
Of s109.260.1 100 AL $500. the price that
MIR. Hill and associates are to pay, the
shares of the road have value of $2lS, :
521 400. In addition the Burlington has
outstanding bonds to the market value
of 1853, 05I6i0. The outstanding stocks
and bonds of the Burlington railroad
thus have the market value of $3I7,5IS s.
900. This is the present market value of
the system. The Burlington has. in all,
1861 miles OF road. owned or leased
This is worth at the rate of s49.2S6 per
mile. In Iowa the Burlington has a
mileage of l.37s miles. yaluing this
mileage at the average of the system
and the Iowa part of the system is
worth s67.9o6. 10s. The assessment
against the Burlington railroad in Iowa
is $6,7s0,526. The assessment is thus a
little less than 10 per cent OF the actual
value.
+ 1T can not be claimed that the Iowa
mileage Ia not proportionately as valu-
able as the average OF the system The
Burlington has some road In Illinois
more valuable per mile than that in
Iowa, but In Nebraska. Montana, Wyo-
ming. Colorado, ETC., 1t has mileage less
