Miss ThurstOn as ''POIIy Primrose"
When an actress succeeds as a star
she is put down as a surprise. The
reason for this is, likely, that so many
who try for the higher flight fail and
fall back to the dull theatric earth. To
those who knew of her artistic ahili-
ties and delicate charm of manner
Adelaide Thurstons steady rise and
substantial success as q star was no
surprise. The surprise would have
been the other way, failure would have
astonished them. But for an actress
to succeed, she must have good plays
and it is there that Miss Thurston
can thank her stars. Polly Primrose"
was written for her by Mr.. Paul Will
stach. It's scenes are laid in George

War, but there is no smell of gun

Charlotte has already become engaged
to Capt. Oliver, also a Southerner.
They are married, but hardly is the
ceremony ended when the bride dis
covers that Oliver is a traitor and has
returned to the Confederate lines as a
Union spy. From that moment Char
lotte's affection is turned. although al
most insensibly at first, toward Ferry.
She sends Oliver away, but does not
betray his confidence. From that hour
Charlotte becomes an active partisan,
almost cOmbatant, in fact, and much
of the interest of the story arises out
of her efforts, as a Confederate secret
service agent, to defeat the plans of
Oliver, as a Union spy, and without
disclosing his true character. In the
end the death of Oliver makes it pos
sible for Charlotte to marry Ferry.

HUNTER STILL IN JAIL
Friends OF Hunter Have Not Yet
Secured Bond for Him.

Last week it was stated in the Record
that the friends of Matt Hunter were
making an earnest effort to secure his
bail bond in order that he might be
released from Jail, but up to date the
bond has not been presented to Clerk
~. q. Stranahan. 1t is now thought
that his friends who have been interest
ing themselves in the matter will not be
able to secure the bond. A number of
good men partially agreed to go on the
bond, but they wanted to have tho
other men on tie bond thoroughly re-
sponsible. For a time it was expected
that ten men would go on the bond,
but some of the men who had agreed to
sign the instrument insisted on having
twenty men on the bond instead of ten.
The bond required is ten thousand dol
lars, the size having been fixed by
Judge Parrish.
The principal reason that Hunters
friends have had in securing the bond
is not so much that he may be released
from Jail, from now until the 22nd of
April, when the trial will come Oft at
Osceola, but that he may be able to go
to Osceola without being in the custody
of Sheriff Miller and without handouts
on his wrists. 1t has been asserted
that Hunter went to Jail and laid out a
fine Of $500 which had been assessed
against him when he was found guilty
OF gambling. At that time he pre-
ferred imprisonment to paying fine,
and he was then in Jail ninety days, a
much longer time than he will now
have to pass in prison before his case
can be heard at Osceola. = Ringgold

THEY FAVOR CURTIS.
For President OF the Iowa State
College at Ames.

At the meeting of the board of direct
ors of the state departmental agriculture
better known as direra of the State
Fair. at Des Moln~.s4} ..st week, it
was voted unani !, .usiy to urge the
trustees of the 7! va State College at
Ames to appoint Prof. G. f. Curtiss
president, believing that he is better
fitted and better acquainted with the
needs Of the college than any eastern
professor could expect to be for num-
ber of years. By unanimous vote
committee was named by President
Morrow on authority of the board to
appear before the trustees of the insti-
tuition for the purpose of expressing the
views of the agricultural interests of the
state on the presidency. This commit
tee consists of Ex-Governor Packard of
Marshalltown, Charles w. Phillips of
Des Moines and John Ledgerwood of
Leon. The committee will appear be-
fore the committee on the selection ofa
president This committee is expected
to meet March Is. The preamble of the
resolution recites the fact that the law
provides it shall be the duty of the
board Of directors of the state depart
ment to encourage agricultural educa.
ton. There is no direct reference to
Professor Curtiss, but it is the avowed
intention of the board to have the com.
mittee support Professor Curtiss. E1.
Governor Packard expresses himself
frankly as in favor of Professor Curtiss,
though he says Curtiss is not seeking
the position and would be satisfied if a
man like Secretary James Wilson,
known to be friendly to the agricultural
interests, were put at the head of the
institution.
