THEATRICAL.

Otto H. Krause will bring his COM
pany of selected players to the Ven
dome Opera House, opening Sunday
matinee in thu. refined society comedy
Because She Loved Him. one of
the late New York successes. The
charming story this play tells is one
that can be appreciated by the ladies
especially. 1t tells of jealous young
wife (played by pretty Dorathy Wal-
lacej who SO constantly quarrels with
the artist husband that their home is
about to be broken up when the old
people, the wife's father and mother
to teach them lesson begin to quar-
rel. The love of the old people is
patriotic and the complications of the
family quarrel are laughable as well
as intensely interesting. The Sunday
night bill is the stirring melo-drama,
1.-The Silver Dagger" for which Mr.
Krause pays large royalty for pro-
ducing. Monday night is Elks night

night is 1.-THE Daughter Of the Regi-
ment" La File Du Regims) Miss
Jennie Holman playing the part of
the daughter. This has been her
great success for years and she will
appear on this night only by special
request. Among the vaudeville fea-
tnres Mr.. Krause presents the Woods

cake walks, and are terribly pretty
girls. Baby Hope the youngest men,
Der Of the company is one of the daint-

think Iberians will be pleased with
the personel of Mr.. Krause Company
and the fine plays offered.
"Peck's Bad Boy is said to be one
of the best musical farce comedy offer
ings of recent years. 1t is also cred
tied with being presented by a cast Of
exceptional excellence, the bright
particular stars OF which are the
charming Miss Rella and comedian
Mr.. Harry Wills who are the towers
of strength in the fun making line.
When they are on the stage gravity
flies out of the window, and laughter
comes in with a gale. The play Is
full OF witty lines, humorous scenes
and musical ludicrousy, not a word or
situation that could offend the most
fastidious auditor The. opinion in
every city where presented, as well
az In New York is to the effect that il

FRATERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS.

W. d Lovejoy, ex- county attorney
Of Washington county, who was
charged with embezzlement, it being
alleged that he appropriated 800 of
the county license fund a couple of
years ago, was tried at Welser this
week and acquitted. 1t will be
remembered that Lovejoy left the
country and afterward returned and
surrendered himself to the authorities.
His numerous friends came to his
aid and made good all his populations
incurred through drunkenness and
gambling, upon his promise to come
back, be good and live down his
adverse notoriety. This is one act
OF fraternal righteousness that gives
one firmer grip on his confidence in
mankind. 1t is too often the case
that when good men start down
grade they are kicked into obscurity
and dungeon rather than assisted
back into upright ways. Three cheers
for Weiser!-Caldwell News.

In all the spring campaigns the
value of the advertising space must
be appreciated by the men who are
working for business. The necessity

must be understood by those who

to come from the work of this spring
it must come in large returns from
those who have been impressed with

WIZ NEED IT.

There is one thing that the city
officials should look after at once and
that is one or two public watering
places where the farmers and Others
may water, their horses when they
come to town. It's something that
is badly needed and the inconvenience
OF gong to the rivers would be done
away with. Besides, such thing
would have a tendency to draw trade
to the city and it would bestow an
act OF kindness to the faithful horse.
When we stop to think how often one
sees horses standing at the hitchlng
posts for hours in the hot sun with
out drop of water to drink, Just
because of the inconvenience of TAX
ing them to the river, we can very
readily see where public watering
place would be a godsend.

and increasing the sum total of the
worlds happiness.
Arrayed against these benign agen-
cies are the forces OF greed, appe-
tite and passion, which through all
time have pulled men downward.
Every man and woman is infu-
enced more or less by both of these
influences. He yields more often
and more readily to the one with
which he is most in sympathy.
Habits, purposes, ideals, assocla-
tions all are tendrils, or tentacles, by
which one or the other of these
forces gain hold on one.
AS times change these forces as
sumo new shapes, new phases, new
names, but through all the ages and
under all conditions they are sub
stantially the same-the one ANNA
ted by love, the other by greed; the
one working tor the great brother
hood in which there shall be a com
mon glory and common joy, the
glory of good deeds, the joy of
noble self-respect; the other ANNA
ted by selfshness that is ready to
see humanity damned root and
branch if it can only ''put money in
the pure" and attain to the gratifi-
cation of the lust for place and
power.
We are not only influenced by
these forces, but we blend into them
and become part of them. Our
every action is force for good or
evil in some other soul.
1t is fearful, unending battle, of
vital and fsr-reaching results, and it
is the first business of everyone to
ask himself the question:
(Which side am l on?"

mlnish the sum of human joy and

selfisbness, of manliness or unman.

LYNCHBURG, Va. Nov. 10.-To
discuss the general situation in re-
gard to the tobacco industry and to
decide If possible on minimum price
for the various varieties and grades,
representatives of the several to-
bacco growers associations Of Amer
lea assembled in Lynchburg today
and began a two days conference.
The purpose of the movement are
set forth in the call for the confer
ehce, which says, in part:
1T has been abundantly demon
strated that farmers can be factors
in shaping the prices of their pro-
ducts. Proofs of this statement are
fund in the wheat market of the past
year; in corn, oats cattle, hogs. cot
ton, etc; prices of all these have been
permanently, or for periods, infiu-
enced by the quantity thrown on the
market, or withheld from 1t. The
same can be done with the tobacco
market. BY unity of action the
growers will be irresistible"
The conference is attended by prom
inent growers of Kentucky, Vir-
ginia, Ohio, North Carolina, Wiscon-
sin and other tobacco-growing states.
