The Hartigan,Pritchett Co., VIII
Probably Close Their Season
In Chickasha.

The Hartigan.Pritchett Roper
toire Co., which has been playing
a three night engagement at the
Wagner opera house the past three
nights, are up against it hard, and
will probably close their season in
Chlckasha. The company has
played TO very poor business in
Chickasha, and after facing the
same kind Of audiences the past
three weeks is in very poor eOndi-
ton to proceed on their journey.
The box office receipts last night
were only SIS for the company s
share, SIS Of which went to pay
printing bills held by the Express
and Telegram. The company had
S27 board and room bill TO neet,
and SIS Jump to Guthrie,
aud there is no money in the man
ayers hands to meet either Of these
obligations, which must be paid
before the company eau proceed.
just what raise the manager can
make remains TO be seen, but it is
probable the company will close
here. All the members are nice
people, but they are far from being
actors, and large portion Of their
( financial embarrassment can be laid
to this fact. Mr.. Hartigan gave 8
very good portrayal of the dual
role Of DR., Jekyll and Hyde, bui
beyond that the performance was
very ordinary,

BAND BOYS BALL.
To Be Held Next Tuesday Night
at the Opera House-Full
Dress Affair.

The band boys Of t5hickasha are
going to give q grand ball at the
opera house, Tuesday evening OF
next week to which the dancing
crowd Of Chickasha, and all others
who feel an interest in the sue
cess of ChickaSha's splendid musi-
cal organization are cordially in
vited to patrOnize. The ball was
decided upon several days ago, but
they were unable to find an open
date on which TO secure the hall,
necessitating this late announC e-
ment of the affair.
The band boys are over a hun
dred dollars in debt for their new
contra base horn and incidental
expenses which have Tun up during
the winter while they were earning
no money. They want the music
loving people of Chickasha to help
them pay this debt, and they know
of no better way to raise the money
than By giving a bali. So, buy a
ticket, whether you intend to pat
ronize the boys or not, and If you
can't go give it to some one who
would like to attend. The sum
mer concerts are going to begin
again in a short time, and you will
want to feel that you are entitled
to listen to them.
The next meeting of the grand
lodge OF the Woodmen of the
World will be held at Oklahoma
City. The date will be in March
1906.

The heavy rain which fell late
last night and this morning brought

At times it would be nothing more
than light sprinkle, and then
again the very heavens would seem

The Eighth street ditch, which
confines the drainage from South
and West Hills 10 its natural chan-
lnels. became seething, raging
torrent, All the more dangerous be
cause the debris had not been
cleaned from ii for seyeal months
past. The ditch in places was
nearly filled with trash, and when
Z finally the force OF the waters be-
came too strong, the levee gave
way, and the torrent washed out
over the banks on either side,
flooding the houses aud the low
ground in the vicinity OF the ditch,
and making all kinds of trouble.

He is interested In the passage OF the

the practice and science OF osteopathy

ell. II seems that the medical trust
was not strong enough to prevent the
passage OF the bill In the council, but
is strong enough to hold II up in the
house. although the people want the
bill passed and although many letters
requesting Its passage have been re-
ceivd by councilmen end representa-

approved. Even the sworn enemies OF

his elevation as a sign that officers
