The Pace. That Kills.

This was the name of the play
that was given last night by the
Pringle company at the opera house
1t is the strongest play yet presen-
ted. and it was presented to the
largest house. II seems that each
night the company presents a stron-
ger play than the night before. and
each night the crowd in attendance
grows larger. The specialties We're
excellent. There is no doubt that
this is the best company that has
ever played in Roswell. and the
crowds in attendance each night
show that it is appreciated. Tonight

afternoon they will play at special
prices in matinee.

Washington, Feb. 5.-lt is officially
announced that Senator Hanna has
typhoid fever. The diagnosis was
confirmed by the blood examination
reported this morning by his doctor.
The Senator slept fairly well last
night. This morning his temperature
and pulse were 102. President Roose'
welt walked from the White House
to make personal inquiry after the
Senator's condition. 1t is said that
the family OF Senator Hanna instead
of being alarmed at the diagnosis
were relieved, fearing that it might
have been a development of much
more gravity. The physicians are
now making a test of the condition
of his kidneys. 1t is realized that
the Senator's advanced age and his
rheumatic condition make the case
more serious than it would be in a
younger man. but the belief is eX
pressed by a majority of his physi
clans that he will recover in a reas
enable time.

the suggestion that the American Lea

said Mr. Kilfoyl. would act as an In
centive to the players Of every team,
as it would be promise TO them of
something more than mere glory I'm
case they beat out their rivals. I would
like TO see the National League do the
same thing. and then have the two
pennant winners come together IN a
series for the worlds championship,
played under the direction of the Ma
tional Commission. Under such au-
spices not even Jim Hart or John r..
Brush could kick and try TO quit. The
public wants a series between the
champions OF the two leagues and
feel confident that never again will we
see such farcical exhibition OF
cowardice as that displayed by Brush
a week ago"
"Will you introduce motion to
have a sum OF $1,000 given the team
winning the pennant?" was asked Mr..
Kilfoyl.

positive answer. as the idea only oc-
