Friday Nights Play.

The sale of seats for the plesenta-
ton of "David Hsrum" at the Grand
Friday night. promises to break .
great many local records. This deduc-
tion IS drawn from the number of in
quiries which have been maze regard
ing the play. 1t would seem as if
everyone who had read the book had
decided to see the play taken from be-
tween it's covers. Consequently the
interest taken in the coming of this
play is away out of the ordinary. The
comedy is said to be one of the great
est Successes now before the public.
Since it's production it has been prais-
ed as the greatest dramatization made
in years, and it repI oduces in a mar
velously faithful way all of the prin-
cipal scenes, incidents, characters of
Westcott's book. One NJ the scenes is
described as being overwhelmingly fun
ny; it shows the sapctimonious Dea-
con Perkins behind the balky horse
which he bought from Harum during
a heavy downpour Of rain, the horse
baking in front of Harum's bank.
The company to be seen here in the
comedy is one of much all round
cleverness.

Since assuming the duties of post
master. Mr.. j. j. Marsh has busted
himself in an effort to improve along
all lines the service from tins office,
both in respect to city and rural de-
liveries. Believing that there was a
necessity of an additional city carrier
to properly deliver the mail to all
parties within the city limits OH time,
he requested the government to send
all inspector here to look over the city.
Mr.. Stewart, inspector of city service
has been here this W, elk and gone over
the ground carefully with Mr.. Marsh.
and has become satisfied that a new
carrier is needed, and when he went
away he informed Mr.. Marsh that he
would recommend that new carrier
be appointed, to begin work in the
fall. This will greatly facilitate the
service during the next winter. when
extra help is most needed During the
summer the carriers have been able to
do the work demanded of them.

Awful Holocaust at Baltimore.

One of the most disastrous fires in
the history of the country devastated
the city of Baltimore. Maryland. on
Sunday. burning for thirty.two hours,
during which time property in the
business center of the city variously
estimated to upwards of $3.50, eco, 900
went up in smoke. The fire st arted in
the wholesale district Sunday morn
ing and spread SO rapidly that it was
impossible to get it under control
and space of l40 acres covered with
costly buildings filled with immense
stocks of goods was destroyed. The
ire covered 80 blocks, burning 1850
buildings, in which were located 7,00C
firms. and threw so, people out Of
employment. About the only fortu-
nate thing in the great loss is the fact
that only one lie was lost. About
fifty people were seriously injured.
The matter of financial relief has been
taken up by congress, and money and
provisions are being sent in from all
parts of the country.

To Reduce the Number of Judges.

There is talk of bill being present
ed TO the state legislature to reduce
the number of district judges in the
state to eighteen, and local attorneys
and others have become interested in
watching its possible outcome. 1t is
the opinion of many that the present
judges Of the state have all the work
they can attend to properly. and
should not be burdened with the addi-
tion of new territory. Should such be
the case, however. there is little
possibility of the thirteenth district
being enlarged in size, inasnuch as it
now has 1851 more average population
TO the judge than any other district
in the state, the total average to the
judge in the district being So, 1893. The
average population to each judge in
this district is 1858 more than the
average for the other districts of the
state and if the number we're reduced
to eighteen rs suggested. the average
population to each judge would be
60. 767, still z, 026 below the average of
the thirteenth. So it is contended
that in any event this district should
not be enlarged
