of Britton, saying that her husband
had been arrested and asking that the
Judge send men to release him.
A posse of Britton's friends LETT

the latter, hearing of this, started with
his prisoner in a buggy for Torrent,
in Wolf county, intending to take the
train there for Lexington.
The hearing of the feudal troubles

It is alleged that Jett and Britton
acted together in killing Cockrell and
Jett and White in killing Marcum.

A SPLENDID
PRODUCTION
Ghosts at the Opera House
Last Night Was an
Event

The production of Ghosts at the
opera house last night win mark an
epoch in the annuls of Lewistons
theater- goers, for the play was not
only the best that has visited the city
time before such another treat will be
| afforded.
Heinrich Ibsen has given us, in
| Ghosts" a page from real life. uh
hampered by prudish conventionalities
yet presented in a manner free from
all suggestion of vulgarity
The story points out number OF
morals. the most prominent of which
is: that the sins of the father are WIS.,
! tied upon the son and the most loath-
some form of this axiom is here pre-
scented. Owing to the increased prev
alency of the form of disease, taken by
Ibsen for the theme of his play, as evil
denced by the medical reports and
army and navy statistics. Ghosts
comes as a warming finger to the people
of this and all other countries. 1t is
| play that is CHASTITY and appalling TO
| the mind yet it fascinates and holds
our gaze as a tragedy in real life, upon
which we have been compelled to look:
yet the impression it leaves is indelli-
BILE. No one having witnessed a per-
Torrance of this play will ever forget
tit will bring reflection and reflection
will bring results more surely than
anything else therefore Ghosts has a
| legitimate place on the stage as an
educator and a masterpiece.
| The play could be made even more
powerful by having Oswald's father
live to contemplate the unutterable
misery of his son, whose rotting brain
was filled with the ghosts and phaT-
| toms of his fathers loathsome crimes.
The play is so powerful that its dis
cussion comes naturally first to the
reviewer without discredit to the in
terpretors for the Interpretation as
given by Miss Gallatin and her com
panI is satisfactory and beyond criti-
cism.
Miss Gallatin as the grief stricken
mother gives us emotion without the
safety of melodrama. Claus Bogel, as
Oswald the son, is fine without a doubt
and Mr.. Davenport as Pastor Man
ders. gave as splendid a piece of char
acter work as is seldom ones fortune
| to witnss.
The audience comes in for praise in
their ability to appreciate that which
was truly good and that they did APP
preclate last nights performance was
evidenced by the demand for cur
tain call after the last act which |
think is unprecedented i'm Lewiston.

the head OF the stairs she faced a vii.
famous looking man.
Get me all the money you have III
the house. and get it quick. or I'll kill
your he Kissed.
But we haven't any money! STAN
mered the startled woman.
Get that money! And he raised a
knife and stepped threateningly toward
her.
Mrs. Hogoboom was thinking hard.
She had an inspiration. "Oh. you mean
the money we got last nightT
yes But get hustle on!"
The cleaning knife was brandished
close to her throat. Mrs. Hogoboom
hustled. She stepped into her room
and rummaged in her top bureau
drawer while the man watched her
from the doorway. Running her hand
along under the ribbons and laces her
fingers feverishly clutched powerful
six shooter. Turning quickly she lev.
eled II on the man and fred. Taken
completely unawares, he didn't hest
tate an instant, but fed down the stair
way In panic.
Mrs. Hogoboom gathered up her
skirts and gave chase, Numbering the
artillery as she ran. Her victim dashed
around corners and out through the
back door, the only evidence of his
having been hit being piece of broken
button. which was found on the carpet
afterward.
In speaking of the affair the little
woman said: Il tried my best to hit
him, but | aimed at his legs, for l have
often thought that If a burglar did get
into the house | would not kill him, for
what an awful thing it would be to
know had killed a man. But scared

Struck Out Fifteen.

Leon Ames who is with New York now,
pitched. perhaps. his first game of any
importance in Youngstown, o.. about six
rem High School. although Ames never at
tended that institution. The Rayen boys
had strong team and looked on Warren
easy money.
The Warren boys were attired in suits
not unlike Jacobs coat and the crowd
anticipated farce Ames had about the
bright red hose that had been subjected to
the darning needle on several occasions
and pair of patent leather shoes, rather
the worse for the wear. 1t took just one
inning for the big farmer-lOOking lad to
prove to the Rayen boys that he was a
real pitcher.
With very mediocre team behind him.
Ames beat the Rayen team. one of the
a score of to D. and struck out no less
than fifteen men. That was his start,
now he is a star.

New York. April 12-Today's stock mar
ket was still lacking in the animation
which had characterized trading previous
to this week. and the sagging tendency
of prices became rather more pronounced
than yesterday. There was not the same
effort to lift prices by the stimulating eff
feet of marking up special stocks. The
market was lot left to drift a dereict
however and sort of nursing process
was adopted. The course of today'S mar
ket was evidently influenced by the gov
ernment report on the condition of win
ter wheat. More temporary note issues
at high interest rates on collateral Securi
ty of unsOld bonds by the Rock Island
and American Telephone Cos. nullifed the
favorable effect of the recent sale of small
bond issues, which was supposed to herald
the revival of an abSorptiVe demand in
the market for such securities. The fail
IRE of Union Pacifc's advance of point
to lift the market was followed by a
steady decline in the whole market.
Union Pacific Slumped at the last on the
haSty reading OF the bulletin on the at
tOrney generals attitude towards the In.
