"A Capitol Comedy"

Tim Murphy at the head of the company which played Paul Wilstachs four-act play "A Capitol Comedy at the Jefferson Theatre last night made a hit. A call be- fore the curtain after each act was all that would satisfy the small but enthus- iastic audience, and his speeches were as much enjoyed as the play.
 Tim Murphy played the part of "Joel Gay" who is trying to get a land deed railroaded through Congress, in a manner which stamps him a comedian of the first water. His work alone should have guar anteed full house. The company back of Mir. Murphy was a good one. The women were all pretty, dressed handsomely and with taste. Miss Dorothy Sherred, the leading woman, carries her part as well as MT. Murphy. In her efforts to lobby his bill through she shows admirably the wlles a woman will resort to to accom- plish something for the man she loves.

A DISAPPOINTED DARKY.
His Watermelon Proved to Be Unripe
and There Was Terrible
Transformation.

/ stood one Saturday afternoon on
the porch of Luray (Va.) hotel, and
saw file past hundred or more dar-.
kies, returning from work, each and
every one of them carrying water
million" under his arm. They had
been paid off, and a convenient farm
wagon loaded with melons happened
to pass as they filed along and the
darkies all bought, relates writer
in Forest and Stream.
One young buck, after hugging
that melon for several blocks, lust
couldn't stand it no longer" and
without ado sat down upon the curb,
and in the absence of a jackknife he
deity tapped the melon against the
edge of the curb until it broke asun-
der. Mansfield, in Transforming his
Jekyl face into that of Hyde upon
the stage, never equaled the lightning
change of countenance exhibited by
that darby. One moment his eyes
bulged, his mouth distorted, his teeth
glistened, and his face fairly glowed

A woman and a boy answering the de-
scription were living in that town, but
are now proved not to be the Evanston
runaways.
Hoping against hope and with the
heartbreaking sorrow crushing their
hearts, Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers early last
December inserted an advertisement
in the newspapers calling upon the
missing boy and his aunt to come home
for Christmas and all would be for
given. All day Christmas they watched
for the return of the fugitives, and
during the night a lamp was kept burn
ing brightly in the window of the home
ON Human avenue to welcome their
return. The family felt sure that they
would come, but they were doomed
to disappointment 3
AS last effort to reach the missing
couple or secure information regard
resorted to the chain letter scheme.
Here is their plea for help: AZ
Dear Friend-Will you kindly help a
heartbroken father and two mothers
in an effort to find their loved ones by
writing three copies of this letter and send
ing them, over your own signature, to
three friends, making the same request of
them, and so on, forming an endless chain.
Miss Florence A. Ely and nephew, Frank
Ely Rogers, disappeared from their home,
713 Human avenue, Evanston, ILL.,, July
Is, 1901 Nothing has been heard of them
since.
Miss Ely is 40 years of age, about five
feet three inches in height. very thin and
weighs from 80 to 100 pounds; face rather
long and very expressive; dark brown
hair; large dark brown eyes, with an in
tense expression, are her most noticeable
feature; good music teacher; attractive to
children.
Frank E. Rogers will be IA years of age
in March, 1902. Height about five feet two
inches; weight about so pounds; medium
brown hair, gray blue eyes, long, slender
hands, is left handed, writes with either
right or left; draws well, always using left
hand. Only love and glad welcome await
them both. A large reward will be cheer
fully given for information leading direct
ly to the restoration of either or both.
Printed letters with pictures will be sent
upon request. Send all information to
JAMES C. ROGERS,
713 Hinman avenue, Evanston, ILL.,
AS these letters, by the aid of SYM
pathetic and kind people, GO broad
cast over the country in ever widening
circle and reach perhaps every nook
and corner of the United States, the
result sought for may be attained and
a mystery cleared up which in some
respects is one of the most puzzling
ever coming to the notice of the po-
lice. If Frank Rogers and Miss Ely are
alive, how has it been possible to elude
the shrewdest detectives of the coun-
try? If dead, what has become of their
bodies and why have they not been
discovered? If they have left the coun-
try, where have they secured the
means for SO long an absence and so
extended trip? These are some of
the questions one is led to ask in con-
sidering the case, and which may never
be answered this side the grave.

two walked out of the depot together.
They took north-bound electric car
which runs from Chicago to Milwau-
kee, and that was the last time they
were seen in Evanston. On the goth
of last December bundle of clothing
belonging to Miss Ely and Frank Rog-
ers was found tucked away under the
Central street station of the Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul railroad in North Evans
ton, and where it is now surmised by
the police that the pair stopped and
changed their clothing, the boy pos
sibly Disgusting himself as girl-for
he left his collar behind-and Miss Ely
Transforming herself into an older
and shabbily dressed woman. Since
then dozens of clews have been fol
lowed, but not one has led to a relia BILE
trace of the couple.

Mysterious Case of Frank
Rogers and Miss Florence Ely
The Fruit1ess Search Which Has Been Made
For the Missing Couple.

n HAT fact is often stranger than
fiction and the mystery in real
life sometimes too deep for even
the keenest detective of the country
to find solution thereof is strikingly
illustrated by the Ely-Rogers case, of
Evanston, Ill. Since the disappear
ance of Frank Ely Rogers, boy of
IA years, from his home last July ac-
companied by his aunt, Miss Florence
Ely, the police and detectives of Chi
cago and the country have been I'M
firing in their efforts to trace the
couple and return them safely home
to the Borrowing parents of the boy
and the aged mother of Miss Ely. Every
clew has been followed up and every
means employed which might possibly
furnish a solution of the mystery or
induce the infatuated aunt and her
young nephew to return to the home
where only loving welcome awaits
them.
Miss Ely, up to last July, had been
music teacher in Evanston. She is
handsome gentlewoman of more than
i've dark eyes, dark brown hair and
slender form and a delicate physique.
She is 40 years old, and for 20 years
has made her home with her sister,
the wife of Mr.. James c. Rogers, as did
her mother, who is heartbroken over
the peculiar conduct of her daughter.
The family lives on Human avenue,
one of the beautiful residence streets
of Evanston, only a short distance
from the campus of the Northwestern
university. Mr.. Rogers is connected
with the mercantile firm of Carson,
Pirie, Scott & Co., in Chicago, and is
a man of ability and some means.
Fourteen years ago, when Frank was
born, Miss Ely idolized the baby, and
was as devoted to him as if she had
been his mother. 1t was her supreme
delight to care for and amuse him, and
as he grew into boyhood her affection
grew to be an infatuation which led
her to forsake all her social duties
and devote her entire time to her
nephew.
On the morning on which they disap-
peared (July 13) it is, known that Frank
left home ostensibly to attend a picnic
in the woods near the town, but that he
walked by circuitous route to the
station of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad. There he met his aunt, Miss
Ely, who had left satchel with the
station agent the day before. This
she secured and placed therein the
contents of a box she carried, and
then threw the box away.
Frank" she called to the boy.
The boy turned quickly, took the
satchel from his aunt's hand, and the
