WHO SHALL PRESS 1AEM

The mind OF erudire Boston is aei-
tated over the simple question-"shall
a woman press her husbands trous-

II is an innocent looking question.
but it is pregnant with vast possible
tiles. Anti-imperiallsm was a question
which affected the rights OF govern-
ment Of a distant. haif.civlized people
this is question which in The last
analysis concerns government at home.
1t has so meny aspects that one Is en-
barrassed. but as Boston tackled the
slavery question, as she grappled with
Browning, Omar and Ibseu until their
secrets were revealed and their occult
philosophy turned inside out like a
glove, so she has gone into this ques-
tion. and, gentle reader, you shall soon
know authoritatively who. as a matter
OF right. shall press those pants"
One woman thoughtfully declares: =

On Saturday night at the Grand OPP

sent Henry Miller and an admirable
supporting company in a bright new
comedy entitled Man Proposes" 1t is
from the pen of Ernest Denny, the ac-
complished English author. The play
is new one in Mr. (Miner's repertoire
and is really a decided addition to his
long list Of successes. The scenes are
laid IN London and the play is Of in
tense humor and human Interest
throughout. It's lines are brilliant, it's
situations strong, and its climaxes are
developed in a quiet artistic manner,
which makes them particularly effect
i've. The cast supporting is an unusu-
ally strong one, as every part is vital
to the interest of the story.

CUTTING ARRAY.
A Dance at Washington Ends Sadly
A Fight and Knife Play
Close the Fun.

On last Friday evening dance
was given out in the Washington
Community at Mr.. Alb Breland S
residence.
During the course of the evening
the bowl must have flowed too free
ly for somebody. for two of the young
men of the assembled fun seekers
fell ont and were assigned a room all
to themselves to Fight it Out, -
which they did, and in this Mill, Kim
Daughdrill, one of the entries, knock
ed Charles Young the other light
weight, out in three successive
rounds. This seemed to settle the
matter and the incident was forgot
ten till Daughdrill started to take
his departure. While standing with
his back to the crowd he was stabbed
twice with u knife from the rear by
Young, the first wound inflicted was
in the neck and went 10 the bone,
the second was lower down in the
back and possibly may have entered
the liver.
Daughdrill S condition was from
the first considered serious, the neck
wound seeming to indicate that the
nerve center had been touched, Us
some indications of paralysis have
been noticed. Medical attention is
being given him, but with poor hopes
we understand for his ultimate re-
cOvery. Young was little brushed
in the fisticuff ARRAY, but this was
only of facial bruising nature.
Daughdrill is young man of good
character and of one of the substan
tial families of the County. While
we know nothing against Young, yet
he has been considered just little
troublesome in his disposition, but
never before has he grossly broken
the law that we know of.
We are not informed as to what
movement has been taken by the au-
thorities, but it strikes us that it is
the imperative duty of some good
citizen, who is lover of good order
and upholder of the laws of the land,
should go before an officer and swear
out warrant for Young and have
him retained by the law pending the
sequence of Daughdrill condition.
The Herald. is with many of his
friends in sincerely hoping that the
unfortunate young man will success
fully combat his wounds and CON-
pletely regain his former good health.
