"H-hum," said the colonel, musing-

Mr.. Smiley. Er-by the way, we
haven't seen much of you lately over
at the ranch. Where have you been
keeping yourself?"
"I-Tve been-er-somewhat busy"
stammered Smiley.
Boring for oil? Yes, understand;
but you don't want to neglect your
social duties" went on the colonel,
with sudden burst of cordiality. "All
work and no recreation won't do.
Drop over and see the-er-folks once

"All right, will, thank you," said
Smiley; and he more than kept his

He dropped in at the Brandon ranch

He IL homel The inlooped banners and the

That the catafalque is passing down the

He Is home! The tears of millions fall like

May some brothers burden share;
Some life make stronger for its pain;

persons who witnessed the afternoon per- formance told their neighbors so many good things about the show that . record breaking audience was also on hand to witness the night performance
 As a preliminary to the ring perform ances, the big concert band rendered con cert music. It was real music and not the article usually discoursed inside oi 2 circus tent. There were selections from Beethoven. Meyerbeer and even Wagner. The band ia under the direction Of Prof. c. z. Bronson, and he Is evidently Q hign- class musician.
 There were two rings and raised stage in the circus tent Twenty-one displays and twelve events were given- The ois- plays consisted of an act in each ring and on the stage. Each of these acts was worth seeing. Some of them were enter taining in the highest degree. Especially was this true of statuary work of the Dellameads, the Japanese slide of Okabe Sacha, which was the best of its kind In the business, the great Nelson family In remarkable acrobatic work, great deal of which was new to this part of the country, and the march and drill of six teen handsome young women.
 All of the acts were clever, however. and space forbids an adequate description of the many new and novel features of the show.
 The hippodrome races are perhaps the best ever seen with a circus. They seem- ed to be 'the real thing" and each of the twelve events was heartily applauded. The horses used in these races are thor oughbred stock. raised in Tennessee, 90 the horseman of the show says, and they looked it. The horses used in the circus ring were magnificent animals, and the graceful riding of Mike Rooney, Orrin Hollis, Blanche Reed and a score of oth- CTS was pleasing.
 The most notable item observed about the Wallace show is that 1t presents every act advertised. Only one feature was missing yesterday, and this was the tramp bicycle act of Snapper Garrison ,'' who received a painful wound in Troy Saturday and had to leave the show here yesterday, going to his home in Indiana.
 Altogether, the Wallace show made good" It came here unknown to the people of this section, but 1t won the hearty approval of it's patrons.

GENERAL HARRISON SPEAKS.
Addresses People of opelika on the
 New Constitution.

GNSW NOASkAbOb4Ohs
 Opelika, Oct. 2s.-(Special )-Hon. Geo. P. Harrison, Lees distinguished orator and statesman. and one of the most prominent members of the late Constitu- tionaI Convention, made a magnificent speech here today to large and enthu- siastic audience in favor of the ratifica- ton of the new Constitution. His speech was a masterly exposition of the new Constitution. logical and convincing and was pronounced one of the ablest and most eloquent speeches ever delivered in Opelika It was received with demonstra- tions of applause and gave great satisfac- ton. General Harrison conclusively demonstrated the superiority of the new Constitution to the old in every respect and he emphatically showed that this was & contest between the Anglo-Saxon and the African, and the ratification of the new Constitution would result in the practical disfranchisement of the negro and his elimination from politics. Gen. eral Harrison's speech will accomplish much good. The white men of Lee are rapidly rallying to the support of the new Constitution. They realize that there Is but one place for white men in this contest There will be speaking in every precinct in the county between now and the election.
 In the Circuit Court today the case of the State vs. J. P. Cowley, charged with killing Brady Jones. young white farm CT. near Salem a few weeks ago. was called. A large crowd Is in attendance and much interest is manifested. A mo- tion to quash the venire was made by the defendant and overruled by the fudge. and the trial is now in progress.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE
Sorrows of Satan" by the Brady Company Pleased Small Audi
 ence Last Night.

When Marie Corelli had warmed over Paradise Lost and constructed an esoteric novel called Sorrows of Satan" it was read by millions of persons and at last reached the stage like other popular sto- ries wheAit was dramatized. The dram atist added touch of Faust" to the story, and 1t was ready for the stage. This is about the third or fourth season of the play, and it was seen in Montgom- cry last year.
 Owing to the numerous outdoor attrac- tions in Montgomery the audience which witnessed William A. Brady's production of the play at the Montgomery Theatre last night was not large. This was pity because one finds a great deal of interest in the play when 1t is presented by clever players, as is the case with the Brady Company.
 Mir. Mawson, who has made great suc- cess in Prince Lucio Rimanez, and who was seen here last season, sustained fn- terest In the play throughout. He has a fine conception of the conflicting charac- ter of Rimanez, and the audience fre- quently applauded his excellent reading and splendid facial expressions
 Other players in the company were seen here last year, although Miss Nellie Yale, who had the part of Lady Sibyl Elton. was a new person. There are scenes in the play in which she Is exceptionally good, but in the great climax of the third act she failed to measure up to the re- Quirement. There was not enough of the finished actress and too much ranting and straining for effect The remaining members of the company have been well selected and gave great care to their work
 The women of the company wore some exquisite gowns and the scenery was en- tirely adeuuate. the gardens at Willow mere being particularly effective.
 The controlling idea of the story, as every reader of the book knows. is the influence of womankind over humanity, either for good or bad. Some of the lines might be cut out of the play for the sake of decency, as has been said before by The Advertiser.
