Throughout the latter half of the

A PLAYHOUSE BURNS
Fire Destroys the Grand Opera House
at Cincinnati, Causing n Loss of
S35O.OOO.

S35O,OOO.
Cincinnati. Jan. 23.-The Grand
opera house is total ruin except for
its outer walls. a display of cool
ness perhaps never witnessed before
under such trying conditions prevent
ed it's loss from being attended by a
fearful catastrophe. The play set
for last night was Hamlet" by the
E. II. Sothern company. The house
was packed. Many ladies without
escorts were present. The first act
had been finished and in the second
Mr.. Sothern, acting the part of Ham
let, had spoken but few lines when
a slight disturbance was observed in
the fourth row of seats from the or
chestra, near the center aisle. 1t was
caused by a slight issue of smoke at
that point.
An usher went down the aisle and
asked the people to be seated, saying
there was nothing wrong. Mr.. Soth-
ern at this point stepped to the front
of the stage and also assured the
audience that everything was right
To further remove apprehension Mr..
Sothern resumed his part, but before
he had spoken two lines the smoke
spontaneous movement of the peo-
pie in it's vicinity. Without further
order one of the most remarkable
scenes ever witnessed in crowded
audience took place.
1t was as though the whole situa-
tion had been revealed to every per-
son in the house and without a shout
or anything else indicating u leader,
| the dispersal of the audience began
and was carried out with the utmost
order.
Adjoining the rear of the opera
house, separated by an alley, is the
large Butler building. The fire en-
tered this at the upper stories and
the roof and the two upper floors of
that building were practically de-
stroyed. The upper portion of the
Gifts engine house, which adioins the
| Butler building, was seriously dam
aged by the fire.
The present lessees of the Grand
opera house are Rainforth & Havlin.
They are the successors of the late
Robert Miles, widely known the
atrical man. 1t was for him that
the old Mozart building was remod-
| eleu ana mace INTO tne urunu opera
house. The building belongs to
Mrs. Charles p Taft. II was bought
by her father, the late David Sinton,
about 80 years ago. The loss may
be put at 100000.
The combined losses of the tenants
of the Butler building will reach
100000. There was no insurance
on the Grand opera house building.

Around her were gathered almost
every descendant of her line. Well
within view of her dying eyes there
hung a portrait of the Prince Con-

In scarcely audible words the white
haired bishop of Winchester prayed
beside her. With bowed heads the

man who is now king of England, the
woman who has succeeded to the
title of queen. the princes and prin-

INDIANS UP IN ARMS.

Muskogee. I. r., Jan 23.-Washing-
ton authorities have been requested
to send federal troops into the
Greek country to 1ucll the uprising
of full bloods known as the Snake
band, who are creating depredations
west Of Eufaula and threatening the
lives Of both the whites and the neu-
trail indians. The Indians threaten
to enter the towns and burn and kill,
and Chief Melllto has sent . message
of defiance to Presiden. Mckinley.
The Indians are arming and blood
shed is feared.
Marshall Bennett sent 90 deputies
and ten Indian police to the scene,
but they were met by so fierce fu
sillade that they were compelled to
retire One of the posse named Nc
Nae was captured by the Indians and
ii is feared that they will take his
life. The agent and marshal have
requested that 500 troops be sent
them.
AS soon as word is received from
Washington Marshal Bennett and
Agent Schoenfelt will join the troops,
invade the Indian camps and en-
deavor to arrest the leaders.
The Creeks threaten that after
they have cleaned out all the whites
in the interior they will visit the
various towns in the Creek nation,
destroy them by fire and kill the peo-
pie. They have threatened to kill

(Known for Many Years as the Prince OF
waleS)
KING EDWARD VII

The queen passed away quite
peacefully. She suffered no pain.
The wheels of the world were
Jared when the announcement
came; but IN this palace at Osborne
everything pursued the usual course.
Down in the kitchen they were cook
ing a huge dinner for an assemblage.
the like of which has seldom been
known in England, and the dinner
party acted as if nothing unusual had
happened.
The body will be taken to Windsor
on Saturday. The coffin arrived last
evening from London.
The queen is said to have bid fare
well, in feeble monosyllable to her
family, assembled at her bedside at
midday. She first recognized the
Prince of Wales, to whom she spoke
a few words of great moment; then
Emperor William and the others
present filed past and heard a whis-
pered goodbye.
London, Jan. 23.-Everywhere last
night the one topic of conversation
was what would happen under the
new regime.
The probability that King Edward
will take up IA practically permanent
residence in Buckingham palace was
much canvassed This is a question
that comes very much home to Lon
doners. Queen Victoria's preference
for Balmoral castle and Osborne
house has been a complaint of long
standing in the metropolis, and it is
hoped that the new reign will see a
change in this respect.
Not until Queen Victoria has beer
laid to rest beside the Prince Consort
at Frogmore will the theaters OIL
music halls reopen. Moreover, bust.
ness will come to practical stand
still. The music in all the hotels
and public places has ceased.
Americans who have passed
through great national calamitie,
may recall the crepe draped build
| ings and the national hush, but they
can i'll conceive, since the death o.
Lincoln, any such expression o
gloom as that which has fallen upor
the United Kingdom.
Shortly before midnight an officia
statement was announced calling
parliament to convene at p. m. to
day to take the oath of allegiance t(
King Edward VII.

A favorite ring devic. was double
heart inlaid between star and q
crescent moon. Two hands closely
clasped ran the double heart hard.
The fancies in earrings and brooches
were various. The commonest ear
ring was half moon, shaped from
a button edge, inlaid with pearl dots
or tiny stars and finished with a
beaten silver wire clasp to go through
the ear. Others had a round black
knob upon the silver ear piece, with
cube pendant, inlaid with stars,
moons, hands, hearts, even heads,
upon it's various sides. Round
brooches were high in favor with the
whole world then, so many of the
black brooches were big buttons,
carved into delicate openwork and un-
derlaid with bits of gilt paper, tin
foil or silk. Others were cut in points
or scallops around the edges, or else
inlaid in points. Still Others were
shaped into books, presumably Bibles,
and had white cross upon the upper
side. Other smaller books were made
for watch charms or pendants to
necklaces, and not few bore almost
microscopic monograms.
Drums, tambourines and banioes
were all improvised in the camp, but
the greatest musical triumph was a
fiddle. The man who made it worked
wit. a caseknife smuggled away from
! mess, earned his wood by volunteer
help to the commissary, and made
his glue by boiling bones with a bit
of sheepskin thrown in. He was six
months at work before he was ready
for the strings. Though he had no
pattern other than the memory OF
his beloved instrument at home he
kept the right proportions and
turned out a recognizable fiddle,
When he had bought strings of the
sutler and plundered enough hair
from the tails of commissariat horses
! to furnish forth his bow he was easily
the happiest man in all the camp.

say: Newspapers, like everything else
in this world Of ours, are subject to
changes. With this issue Of the News,
a new editor begins his work. We wish
to assure our readers that no new
startling change is contemplated either
in the editorship or management. Our
paper is intended to work for the best
interests Of the town and county. We
shall do our best to furnish a journal
that will be always a welcome visitor
TO the homes Of all our people. We
want TO publish the local and State
news as fully as possible, and to keep
our readers posted on all matters of
general interest throughout the land.
TO this end we ask the help and CO.
operation Of. all our friends. Not being
as well acquainted throughout the
county as we hope to be, many matters
Of local interest may at first escape
our attention.
In politics we desire to publish an
independent Republican paper. No
bitterness Of speech will be INDUCED in
and no blind advocacy Of National or
State policies Of which We do not hon
estly approve.
We shall have more to say on this
subject as time goes On. Just now we
wish only to ask from u readers their
help and confidence"
