Entertainments have always beer
of high order and most enjoyable
Each aeascn has seen the produc-
ton of high class comuedies by the
members of the club, and their
friends, and each one of these pro-
ductions has been better than Its
predecessor. The last one captured
a crowded house, ard was pro
nounced by all those who were so
fortunate as to be present as one OF
the most enjoyable entertainments
given In the Auditorium during the
season.
Encouraged by their past sue
cess, the members of the club have
decided to repeat their efforts to
please and entertain, and after ex
hausting the entire list of available
plays, have selected one entitled
"A Noble Outcast," a strong melo
drama of four acts, by Ben Frazier.
The play Is based upon one of the
mt st popular of the plays of some
years ago entitled "Jocrisse, the
Juggler." 1t has, however, been

section will be to Bens Run
and the third from Bens Run to St.
Marys. We have no reason to
doubt but what this road will be
built. It will no doubt be paying
investment. We know the road from
this city to Paden City Is paying.
A road from here to Friendly will
pay much better. Friendly Is a
good sized town and across the
river from 1t Is New Matamoras and
Grandview, both good sized country
towns Mid way between this city
and Friendly Is Centerview and q
large community at and near Dav-
export. A Trolley line would
do business all along the road
and make money every day In
the year. Such a road would not
be expensive. The narrows oppo-
site Centreview could easily be
built across and then the company
will have level river bottom to
build Its road on to Bens Run.
Back of Bens Run Is large farm
Ing and oil country that will come
here to transact their business as
soon as the road Is built. Our peo-
pie here could we'll afford to give
this road a hundred thousand dol
lar bonus to have 1t built. We hope
our city council and the lard own
ers through whose land the road
runs will aid this project by giving
It Q free right Of way.

Yesterday afternoon, Miss Sallie
Mccoy gave picnic excursion to
her Sunday School class at the park.
A car full of bright and enthusiastic
young people constituted the party.
They had not only bright eyes, bat
we'll filled baskets, and the fun they
didn't have was not to be found.
These small picnic excursions are
becoming very popular, and no bet
ter place for them can be found
than this beautiful park.
The merry 90 round, at the park,
has been put In winter quarters.
Notwithstanding this, there is abun
dant opportunities for splendid
time these delightful afternoons.
The hotel Davis Is now In full

A Murderer Arrested

Wayne Davis, aged ~ years, Vs s
arrested Friday evening at Long
Run, charged with the murder OF
Joseph Gray on the railroad track
at Long Run Thursday night. The
accused Is a son of Ananias Davis,
residing at Long Run.
Gray was employed In the oil

when he was murdered. Davis got
the check and money, It IL claimed.
1t Is stated that Davis knew that
he had drawn his pay and that he
ambushed himself until Gray came
along and then engaged him In a
quarrel and shot him twice, once 10
the head and the other time 10
the stomach.
According to the best informa-
ton obtainable, Gray recognized

 A phase of the tariff question Is Ca- madam reciprocity. A statement of facts will show that the Republican party and Republican Presidents alone have done all that has been done to bring about Canadian reciprocity and that the failure of negotiations since 1888 has in every instance bean due to the attitude of Can ada.

On this occasion, for local reasons, no doubt, they substituted me for the Sec retary. feel greatly honored thereby.
 We Republicans deeply deplore the fact that any cruelties were ever com mitted by any American officer or any American soldier upon any one in the Philippine Islands. We believe that any officer or man guilty of such conduct should be tried by courtmartial. and we believe that that has been done. But we also believe that some consideration should be given to the circumstances un- der which these unhappy cruelties oc- curredn We remember their provoca- tions.
 "The Republican party has passed in both sessions of this Congress wise, far reaching legislation for the benefit of the Philippine Islands. They win pass more in the years to come. but there is one thing that the Republican party will not do: they will not further seek to hound down officers and men of the army of the United States for events which hap pened two years ago, and which have been tried before the courts and before the country"

 between ourselves and the Republic of Mexico being the first submitted to this internal tional court of arbitration.
 The terms which we have secured as those under which the Isthmian canal is to be built. and the course of events in the Venezuela matter. have shown not merely that ever growing influence of the
 United States in the Western Hemis- pnere, but also. l think 1 may safely say. have exemplified the firm pur- pose of the United States that It's growth and influence and power shall re- dound not to the harm but to the benefit of our sister republics whose strength Is
 less. Our growth, therefore is beneficial to human kind in general We do not in- tend to assume any position which can give just offense to our neighbors. Our adherence to the rule of human right is not merely profession. The history of our dealings with Cuba shows that we reduce it to performance.
 Need of Will and Strength.
 The Monroe Doctrine is not interna- tional law, and though think one day it may become such, this Is not necessary as long as it remains a cardinal feature of our foreign policy and as long as we possess both the will and the strength to make 1t effective. This last point, my fellowcitizens. is all important, and is one which as a people we can never af- ford to forget. believe in the Monroe Doctrine with all my heart and soul; am convinced that tho immense majority Of our fellow -countrymen so believe in it; but I would infinitely prefer to see us abandon 1t than to see us put 1t forward and biuster about 1t, and yet fail to build up the efficient fighting strength which in the last resort can alone make 1t respect ed by any strong foreign power whose in- terest 1t may ever happen to be to violate 1t.
