"The Prisoner Of zenda. !"

OF all romantic dramas extant pos
sibly none has enjoyed the continuous
prosperity Of favorable criticism that
has ever been accorded to the "Pris-
oner of Zenda.
From the night of the first presen-
ton, when E. II. Sothern began linn
tied engagement in New York City
with this play, which finally culmt-
mated in run that extended far into
another season, until the present
time this famous romance still main
tains the front rank in the dramatic
offerings of its kind.
On its recent visit to the principal
cities, making tour which extended
from New York City to San Francis
CO, it was everywhere greeted by an
enormous attendance. Time has not
lessened ms charms or weakened Its
drawing powers, for on this, its third
triumphal tour, it continues to test
the capacity of theatres everywhere.

WON'T LET HoBsoN GO.
Navy Department Loath to Give Up
the Lieutenant Who Wants
to Resign.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The navy de-
partment is unwilling to allow Con-
structor Hobson to retire from the
navy, even upon resignation outright
and the abandonment of the privilege
of going upon the retired list. The
reason for the unwillingness is the
pressing need of the construction
corps for the services of just such
young officers as Mr.. Hobson, and the
effort will be made to induce him to
remain on active duty. The construc-
ton corps has lost the services of four
able officers during the past year, and
with the rapidly increasing amount Of
construction work the navy depart
ment feels that it must stop the drain.

HARD WORK TO GET JURY.
Against DR.. Alexander at
Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 4.-The ex-
animation of jurors In the trial of DR..
j. c. Alexander, charged with COM
plicity in the grave robbing cases, was
resumed Tuesday in the criminal court.
The work proved to be legal battle
and the greatest care was exercised on
both sides. Many men were called, ex-
amined and rejected.
A story is made public to the effect
that Rufus Cantrill revealed the Sc
crets of the gang because he found the
body of his sweetheart, Stella Middle
ton, in a medical college when he re-
turned to the city after an absence of
several days. He did not know that
she had died while he was away and, ac-
cording to his story, which he is said
to have told before the grand jury, he
was so wrought up over the discovery
that he made full confession to the
prosecutor. 1t was this confession
that brought to light the wholesale
devastation of the graveyards around
Indianapolis. The case promises to be
drawn out int rminably.

JUDGE HOKE.
Sandy Bend Justice Keeps Grinding
Away.


This Court bein' now open for the
dispensin' of Jestice.' said Judge Hoke.
as he raped for order and assumed
judicial dignity I'VE will trot out the
case OF Tom MacLarney VS. Joe Haz-
zard.
There is nothin' in the case that this
Court can't settle without the help of
lawyers Both parties are purity well
known in Sandy Bend Tom MacI4arney
was born cross-eyed baby. He grew
up cross-eyed kid. His eyes was on
the squint when he cast his fust vote
and wore gun for the fust time. and
they hain't improved since. He's bin
told on numerous occasions that his
eyes were out of plumb, but he never
would believe it till the other day.
Joe Hazard IS sort o. ffteen-cent
eritter who has bin hangin' about Sandy
Bend, ROCKY Reef, 4aller Flats and
other places for the last five years,
without committin' any offense for
which he could be hung. / never heard
never set him down as pizen mean. He
might be blamed sight better, and he
might be a heap wuss
1T appears that Tom started for IN
Jun Hin the other day to ind new
brand Of forty-rod. It appears that Joe
started from Injun Hill for Sandy Bend
at about the same hour AS q result,
the two OF EN- met on the trail about
naH way They met jest where some
one had dropped q bag Of flour and
both jumped forward and laid claim to
the find. Very nacherally there was a
row Had this Court bin there hisself
he would have pulled his gun and de-
tended his rights. There was a proper
amount of cussin' and jawin', and then
Joe Hazard grabs up the bag and
starts off with it. Tom MacLarney
opens ire on him as he goes.
This Court is willin to bet fifty to
one that he could have put bullet into
Joe's leg six times over before he got
out of range, and there's fifty other men
IN Sandy Bend who could have done the
same, but Tom MacLarney wasn't
seem straight He did plug the bag
and let all the flour run out as Joe made
of. but the rest of the bullets went
fy1n' all over the Territory of Wyoming
ut was poor shootin'-mighty poor.
1t was such shootin as any man of US
would be ashamed to tell of. but Tom
felt that he must git even or bust.

loon, and business was goin' with a

What's yer drink" says I, as I leans
over the bar.
I'll take a bari O. jestice,' says he,
as he pounds on the board.
What's wrong?'
I've bin robbed
Then this Court has to put aside biz
ness and sit down and inquire all about
it and issue a warrant for Joe Hazard.
It was not until Joe was arrested that
the true facts in the case leaked out.
