d finished performance is assured as the
company has not only been rehearsing 1t
for three weeks. but has produced II IN
Knox lie with great success. 1t will be
remembered that the play made great
hit here season before last. 1T was. IT
fact the most successful production OF
that year. The play is cast to the full
strength of the company. and Will be pre-
scented with the same wealth OF accesso-
ries that always marks Giffen per-
Torrance. Remember when to come,
but if you can't stand excitement don't
come at ALL was the whimsical advice
Of the manager TO the Richmond pubic
when he fist produced the pay. and the
press declared that there was laugh
to every line.
The comedy is in four acts. It wac
written by William Gillette, the famous
actor-manager. The play, outside the
Private Secretary" is the greatest
comeoy success the playwright has
ever produced. 1t was presented original
~ in New York about 1880 and scored an
immense success. 1t was taken on the
road and presented in cities from New
York to San Francisco, but strangely
enough was never seen in Richmond untl
Mr. Giffen produced it here TWO seasons
ago. 1t was under the management OF
Charles Frohman. and has always been IN
the hands of capable cast. Mike Ken
nedy made the hit of his career in the
leading role and many famous actors
have been identified with it. 1t is play
in which the lines are really subsidiary to
the acting, for there is not moment
when there is not something striking to
enchain the attention.
The play is founded on the experiences
OF a lively young rake. whose uncle leaves
him in charge of his house while he is
absent in Europe. In order to raise funds.
the recalctrant nephew advertises the
house for rent. with all the comforts
OF home" He is flooded with applicants
for the vacant rooms who are duly In
stalled, and the rest of the story and the
complications arising from the premature
return Of the uncle can better be imagined
than described.
The production will be particularly In
terestng because II is to present the
, members of the company in an entirely
different light to that in which they were
seen here in Under Two Flags" fort
night ago
Mr.. Citizens new company is nothing if
not versatile. and Mr.. Gifen believes
that 1T will be seen to excellent advantage
in the play he is 10 present.
All through the South the company has
met with the enthusiastic endorsement
Of the press and the public. The illness
Of Miss La erne necessitated the early
production of the comedy. which would
otherwise have been reserved for this
city. But Miss La Verne has fully recov-
cred from her ndisposition now and viii

"'Fiddle-Dee-Dee" comes to the Bijou

best casts ever carried on the road. There

statehood for Oklahoma" is
the incessant war cry of the mum
erous citizens Of that territory now
in the city. And II is evident that
they have already captured the
committee on territories OF the
house, and that favorable report
will be made by that committee
tor some kind of immediate state
hood for Oklahoma. We're il not
for the fact that the democrats are
attempting TO inject politics into
the question, the sea upon which
the Oklahoma statehood bill will
make ils Legislative voyage would
be apparently placid and calm.
But the attempt on the part of the
democrats to handle the question
from purely partisan standpoint
is calculated to cause the Oklaho-
,ma ship tempestuous voyage.
The keynote has already been
sounded by Senator Baily of Tex
Rs, who openly procIaims his de-
Termination to contest the passage
pf any bill through the senate that
ioes not provide for the ultimate
ereation of two states out of the
wo territories. He frankly as
eris that in taking this position
be is attempting to even up con-
bltions between the east and west.
he asserts that Rhode Island, New
ersey, Delaware. Connecticut and
bther eastern states which cover
bnIy a few thousand square miles
bave undue representation in the
United States Senate and in the
Electoral college. BY creating two
tates out of the two territories
bis con diiion would be somewhat
<qualized. He also asserts that
indian territory when admitted,
Kill be democratic, and that Okla.
oma will, at least, be doubtful.

homa now. but with a provision
Tor the ultimate union of the two
territories Ii is probable that the
statehood bill for Oklahoma will
provide for the i'm mediate holding
OF a constitutional convention to
adopt constitution and laws for
Oklahoma, and that when a union
is finally formed of the two terri
tories prov sions will be made for
the holding of another constitu-
tional convention, at which the
people will receive equal recogni-
tion in the formulation OF a con-
siitdtIon and laws for the two ter
ritoriee.
One Of the shlest advocates of
statehood for Oklahoma is Chief
Justice Burford, of the supreme
court Of Oklahoma territory. He
has bsen here for several days, as
sisting in statehood legislation and
also furnishing the judiciary COM
mittee of the house and senate
with data and information relative
to the needs of the territory for an
increase in its supreme court
membership. Justice Burford sd-
vocates the creation of two addi-
iional members of the supreme
court OF the territory, and it is
probable that congress will pass
such law before the adjournment
of.ihe present session.
Ex Gov. A J. 5eay, one of the
most prominent citizens of the
territory, is also here, and has
rendered valuable assistance to
Delegate Flynn in the preparation
of Oklshoma's case for submission
to the house committee on terrific
ries. The governor has attracted
much attention among members of
the house and senate by reason of
his stalwart partisanship and his
ga rnest advocacy Of statehood for
Oklahoma

William n. EdeIbIute.

William H. Edelblute, the republican
candidate for county surveyor, was
born near Manhattan, Kans.. Septem-
Der 9th, 1870. His earlier life was
spent on farm. Entering the Kansas
Agricultural College at the age of IL.
he pursued a scientific course, showing
marked proficiency in civil engineer
ing surveying and the higher mathe-
mates. Graduating in 1892. he came
west, locating at olympia, Wash,
where he spent the winter in teaching.
The following spring he drifted to
Idaho, and for the next eight years de-
voted his time to the cause Of educa-
ton. For two years he served as
principal of the Harrison city schools,
and in 1898 was the republican nomi-
nee for superintendent Of public in
struction. Locating a homestead near
Harrison in 1895, he has hewn home
out of the wilderness, and may be
found today sorting apples or digging
"spuds" on one of the best farms in
northern Idaho.
He was married last January.
