The Great Lafayette
Show Coming.

The Great Lafayette who will
bring his remarkable company OF
entertainers to Sistersvllle for one
night at the Auditorium on Satur.
day evening, Feb. ID, Is most
wonderful and versatile performer.
He does not betitle himself, for If he
were to do so, he could without
contradiction call himself "Proteus,"
for the world has never seen his
equal as protean artist, but his am.
billion does not end with his protean
specialties, for he Is constantly In
venting and devisiug something
new and interesting with which to
amuse and entertain his audience.
A New York critic of international
anne in speaking to the writer on
the work of this genius, describe
him as the Mansfield" OF the
vaudeville stage, and we'll he might
say so, tor II 1t was only for his
magnificent production of the
Ions Bride" he would deserve
to rank as the leading exponent of
legerdzm In that the world has
ever. seen. Everything that he
presents Is lavishly and deliberately
staged and no thought Is given to
the actual cost OF any production
that he may desire to place before
the public. The Great Lafayette Is
yet young man and his ideas Of
future possibilities upon which he
Is at present working are extremely
interesting. and as he has large
personal fortune at his command
there Is but little doubt but that he
will carry out his present plans,
which consists Of placing legerdeme
and travestising upon plane never
before attempted by any other man.

TWO SETS OF OFFICERS
Chosen BY Senior Lawyers-Annual
Split 1akes Place.

The second election of officers for
the Senior Law Class this fall was
held last evening. To be more exact,
the second set of officers was chosen,
for neither faction will admit that
the meeting or election in which the
other was victorious was legal.
Anyway, the senior lawyers who are
candidates for degrees met Wednes
day evening and by a unanimous
vote in each instance, elected Burton,
president, Coffman, vice president,
Marshall, secretary, Dangerfield,
treasurer, Heffley, historian, Ford,
poet, Yoke, orator and Waugh SER
geant at arms. After an enthusi-
astic meeting in which harmony
was the watchword, the seniors
came down street making night
hideous with their yeils. The pres
ident and secretary were placed on
store boxes in front of the Acme,
and allowed to make short addresses.
Scott was chosen president of the
class some weeks ago at an election
in which all the bar and diploma
men participated. A full set of
officers was elected. OF these, Dan
gerfield is the only man elected at
both meetings. He is treasurer of
both factions. Which class organi-
zation will stand will be determined
when the question of who has a
right to vote is decided.

HAYES is HANGED.
Uniontown Witnesses Another
Execution Today.
Colored man Hanged for Murder Com
mitted in November of last Year
Execution Passes off with no Sensa-
tI0nal Features to Mark 1t.

UNIoNTowN, Oct. 29-The execu.
ton of William Hayes took place
this morning 1t passed off smooth
ly, and with little sensational fea.
lures connected with the event.
Fully 200 people had gathered to
view the affair 1t vas announced
that that the execution would be
strictly private, and although there
was large crowd present, the at
tendance was far below the size of
the crowds which usually view exc
BUTTONS in this county.
Hayes kept his nerve well. but
Sheriff Froek stated that he would
have broken down had the matter
been delayed few minutes longer.
There was some delay in the cell,
and the officers entered and came
out repeatedly before they came out
with the doomed man.
Hayes wore a neat fitting black
suit with huge button hole boquet,
He walked onto the scafford with
firm tread and stood over the trap.
Deputy Sheriff Litman adjusted
the moose and put on the black cap.
He gave the signal to Sheriff Frock
who sprang the trap and the body
shot through the floor of the scat
fold bringing up with jerk
No struggle occurred although the
man died of strangulation. He was
pronounced dead in five minutes af-
ter the trap was sprung The trap
tell at 10:
The crowd was dismissed and the
remains were turned over to Steward
Newcomer OF the county home. He
will send it to Philadelphia to be
used for medical purposes according
TO the law on the subject.
Several Morgantown people saw the
execution. Among them were L. w.
Joseph, Adam Bower and Guy Bright
man. There was large crowd Oh
the streets but no demonstration of
any kind.
Hayes was sentenced for a murder
committed on November 1902. He
was respited from August 81 until
October %. Those who asked for it
are not known and this is rather
mysterious phase Of the case which
has attracted considerable attention.
No statement was made on the
scaffold by the condemned man who
was given nc opportunity to speak and
who did not manifest any desire to
talk. He was attended by Captain
Treyitt OF the Salvation Army.

ION TO CHANCERY HILL ;"
Is the Cry of u. u Company
Directors Today.


Bridge Company Offers Concessions
and Funds are Being Raised-D Direct
Extension of Main Street to Gene.
tery-Pump Station to be Reached
Later.
Engineers were ordered to survey
the proposed route of the street car
line extension from the Chancery
Hill bridge to the Oak Grove Gem
etery and report by noon today.
They did not comply with this order,
to the letter, inasmuch as they had
not reported by two o'clock this
afternoon.
1t has been practically settled to
reach the east side of Deckers creek
with street car line across the
Chaneery Hill bridge. Beginning
at Foundry street, the line is to
cross the bridge. follow Prairie
Avenue, turn out towards DR.. Wade
residence, and extend thence through
Wagner street, along the Wiley
homestead, to the Oak Grove Gem
etery, near the entrance. From that
point, it will extend along the King
wood road to the south east corner
of the cemetery. This work is to
be done at once. Later the line will
be extended to the pump station.
The Ghancery Hill Company has
agreed to allow the line to cross
their bridge, and has given free
right-of-way through their property
provided that the property owners
subscribe for half the stock in the
bridge. The iron TOR the structure
is nearly finished, and a few changes
will have to be made for the street
car tracks, out these will be unim-
portant The bridge was built by
the Chancery Hill Company, without
any outside aid.
This stock will probably be taken.
"a, 800 has already been secured, and
this is third of the amount needed.
Some rapid hustling is being done,
and the prospects are bright for
raising all of the required amount
before the lasJ of the week.
There Is a marked contrast be-
tween the attitude of the people in
the Chaneery Hill section and those
in South Park. The latter held in
dignation meetings and passed reso-
lutions against the project, while
the former seemed inclined to vel.
come the line and offer whatever
assistance is just and reasonable,
The Z. U, Company also seems
satisfied with the turn affairs have
taken, and there is considerable &C.
tivity among the directors in the
matter today. The Chancery Hill
line will be in reality Main street
extension. 1t will reach section
of the city which will afford it con-
siderable patronage. A large num-
Der of people visit the cemetery
every day, and it will be a great ac-
commodation to them.
