AT the Illinois Thursday evening,
is a clever decentralization of CRADLES
Reade's celebrated classic OF the
same name. made expressly for Miss
Blair by Wendell Allison Hobart.
While the play is Il comedy. there are
some highly dramatic situations in IT,
and Miss Blair will have several
splendid opportunities for the display
of her emotional gifts, as we'll as her
talents as comedienne. The play
is admirably constructed from a
technical point of view. the interest
growing with each succeeding act.
and the climaNcs of the different sit
uations are striking and effective.
Several novel effects are introduced;
among them the fall of the curtain
on the first act. which is one of the
most striking innovations seen in
some years. As in all of Miss Blair 5
productions. the scenery, costumes
and properties are rich and elaborate
neither pains nor expense having been
spared to make the production com
plete and finished one.

jury was impanelled to retry the case
of Brennan W. the Tri-City Railway

turned, and a retrial was ordered up
on n flaw in the law in the case.
Judge Ramsay heard the second trial,
when n verdict for $500 was given
the plaintiff. This was set aside be-
cause, in the judgment of the court.

NOR abroad that a surprise NAV be

sisiant postmaster general. to
whom the matter was referred, has
expressed his approval Of the pro-
posed improvement in the mail
service. and stated that If the Fris-
co road would put on 'he train and
show 10 the post Office department
that they could expedite the de
livery OF mail which is now going
into Indian territory, Oklahoma
and Texas by other routes, they
would be given the contract.

Fielding Lewis, mayor of South
McAlester, writes to the Capital
with reference to the Soper county
seat bill as follows:
Editor Capital:-I send you un.
der separate cover copies of the
Indian appropriation bill and
soper's bill (H r. 1130). The in
tent of Soper's bill is plain, and l
might add that it is by no means
ambiguous to some members Of
congress. For my part | would
prefer no legislation to it. The bill
simply proposes the saddling OF us
with an officialism that would
strengthen opposition to any
change OF affairs in the Indian
territory, and when the fat Offices
created by the bill were judicious
ly filed, the official force would
be strong enough TO postpone leg
islation tending toward the open
ing OF tho territory, indefinitely,
and at the same time give Us no re-
lief except delegate to congress.
That delegate then would be kept
so busy, with es little results,
pleading for statehood as are the
delegates from the territories that
ar now clamoring in vain Tor
statehood. The bill affords no re-.
lief for school children but on the
contrary contenplaies the contn
uance OF present conditions with q
stronger leverage and more money
for fighting any change toward
betiering the conditions there.
i do not think, as a matter OF
fact, that the bill will receive any
serious consideration. One Of the
men in congress, who Is heralded
about as the foster father Of the
bill. remarked last evening after
Soper left Tor the Indian territory
tina. lit was a pretty good bill,
greatly resembling Mr.. Soper. I"

crowd whom did not see, but
who recognized my Indian terri

"it would not. that Col. Soper had
gone back to the territory and
Maior Barrett, OF Shawnee, had
run over 20 Baltimore and congress
could do nothing until they re-
torned."
