"A GAMBLERS DAUGHTER.

The scenery used in the pro- duction of the sensational melo- drama, "A Gamblers Daughter" which is to be at this theatre soon, presents some wonderfully realistic stage pictures of a num- Der of famous places which form a part of the history of this coun- try, and which people have heard about and never seen. In the second act is vivid production or JIG Chicago Board of Trade. It is a day of"araaic on change, and fortunes are quickly heinz made and lost. In the center of the frenzied exciting throng of brokers around the wheat pit, stands the gambler referred to in the title of the play. He has in hand a tremendous wheat deal which is being smashed and foiled by some unknown operator who is dealing through another broker. The place is a veritable bedlam in it's turmoil. The gambler Che is termed a gambler because he secretly owns a mag nifcently n,d up Michigan avenue gaming house and not because he is a member of the Board of Trade) sees his own plans going to ruin and his private fortune dwindling away minute by minute. He in an annost crazed condition to learn the apparently giant hand who IS working against him. He does not know until later that it is his own daughter, who has familiar iZed herself with Board of Trade methods and is frightening him to save him from being success ful in accomplishing his dishonest designs.
 This is said to be one of the most wildly exciting and intense ly dramatic scenes the stage has known in many years. It fairly lifts the audience off it's feet. At Newport opera house Tuesday evening, December 29.

PSEUDO BAPTIST PREACHER Has a Bad Record in Missouri
 Became MT. Swift at Hazen.

Some amusement and more re- gret is felt in Baptist circles over news received in St. Louis, says the Globe-Democrat, from Hagen, Ark, concerning the ca reer of a pseudo Baptist minister who has been passing there un- der the name of A. B. Swift. h. vestigation has brought the fact to light that the would-be Mir. Swift is no other than one A. c. Pinkston, who last spring during a few weeks residence in St. Louis was discovered to be an irnposter.
 At that time MT. Pinkston was sent out on the church's recom- mendation to a country church at Piedmont, Mo, staying long enough to officiate at the dedica- tion of a new church there.
 But at this stage of his Mis- souri career conclusive evidence was brought before several min isters of the city that the young man had a wife in Kentucky and was preparing to marry another.
 A dramatic episode closed the Rev. MT. Pinkston's career. Armed with the documents against him four Baptist minis ters of this city went to Pied mont on a night train, confront ed the young man in his room and compelled him to give up his ordination papers and leave the church and the town that night.
 The message from Hazen, Ark, stated that the church had dismissed MT. Swift, alias Mir. Pinkston, sending away with him also a woman who passed as his wife, but who it was believed was not married to him.
