BEN-HUR
Again to be Staged In Louisville
From March 10th
to March 18th.

The Klaw & Erlanger Co., have,
in their time, made many notable
productions and thereby earned for
themselves an enviable reputation.
The most ambitious effort of their
career is "Ben-Hur," which scored
brilliant success in Louisville three
seasons ago and which is booked for
another engagement there at Ma
cauley's Theatre the week of March
goth, with special Wednesday and
Saturday matinees.
The scenic equipment to be used
in the staging in Louisville this sea-
son is the same that created such a
furore in London three years ago,
when "Ben-Hur" was introduced to
the English public at the Drury
Lane Theatre. These effects were
also a part of the presentation Of the
play during the Worlds Fair run at
the Olympic Theatre. st. Louis, the
past summer and are now being used
at the Big Auditorium Theatre,
Chicago.
No play that has ever been pro-
duced within the four walls of a
theatre has scored a success that
could in any way be compared to
this impressive and fascinating ro-
nance. Although dealing with the
most delicate subject in the history
of the stage, its freedom from any
thing that might CRATE upon the
nerves of the most religiously sensi-
tive, has earned the endorsement of
the very best people in every COM
munity.

BEER WAS QRUGGED,
Two DaviesS County Farmers
Were Robbed of $50.
After Drinking Beer Men Were
Incapaciated and Rendered
Partly Unconscious.

/ Charles Payne and his son, Domi-
mic Payne, farmers of the Knots
vile neighborhood, were robbed
Monday night in quite an audacious
manner, says the Owensboro Messen-
ger. A single man accomplished the
robbery of both men. The Paynes
came to Greensboro Monday with a
load of tobacco which they sold for
about 800. The money was divid-
ed, each taking $50.
They started home late in the af-
ternoon and darkness came before
they reached Knottsville. A few
miles north of Knottsville man
hailed them from the roadside and
asked to be allowed to ride in the
wagon. Consent was given and he
climbed in. After riding a short
distance the stranger produced a
bottle of beer and asked Mr.. Payre
and his son to drink. This they did,
thus enabling the man to accomplish
his purpose of robbery. The beer
contained some powerful drug and
almost Immediately after drinking
the two men were incapacitated.
They never entirely lost conscious
ness, but were unable, effectually, to
resist the robber. He secured $50
from one of the men. The other had
put his money in an inside pocket
where the robber failed to find it.
The robbery occurred, as near as
can be ascertained, about 8 o'clock.
Some time later Charles Payne
wandered into Knottsville and did
not regain possession of his faculties
during the night.
Dominic Payne took the team loose
from the wagon, which he abandon
ed. Heading the horses, he went to
the home of his brother-in-law some
distance away. The effect of the
drug on him had been such that no
ineligible account of what had hap
pened could be secured from him
during the night. Tuesday morning
he had sufficiently recovered to tell
what had happened and, with his
brother-in-law, went back to the
place where he had abandoned the
wagon. 1t was evident from ap-
pearances that a considerable scuffle
took place before the robber was
able to secure the money.
Neither of the Mr.. Paynes knew
the man who got into the wagon.
There is no clue as to his identity.

A Good Man Dead.

Ex-Sheriff S. T. Stevens died at
his home here at 7:45 o'clock We'd
nesday evening of consumption, af-
ter being confined to his bed for
nearly fourteen weeks. He had
been in delicate health for more than
a year but at the beginning of the
past severe winter his case became
more serious yet his family and
friends still chung to a lingering hope
that with the return of spring he
would regain his normal strength
and be able to be out again. All
hope of even partial restoration to
health was practically abandoned
several days ago when a perceptible
change for the worse in his condi-
ton was noted and relatives had
been summoned and were with him
when the end came. After funeral
services impressively conducted by
Rev. ]. II. Burnett (Mr. Stevens
pastor) at Liberty church yesterday
at 2 o'clock p. m. his remains were
inferred in the Liberty cemetery.
The esteem and high regard in
which Mr.. Stevens was held by his
many friends was eminently mani
tested by the vast crowd that assem-
bled to pay their respects at the
funeral rites.
Mr.. Stevens was born and reared
and spent the greater portion of his
life in the Liberty neighborhood,
where he farmed, attended school
and taught school until he was elect
ed Sheriff of Ohio county in 1897.
He then moved to Hartford and has
resided here since.
In early life he married Miss Laura
Taylor, daughter of Harder B. Tay-
lor, who, together with three sons
and one daughter survive him. Mr..
Stevens became member of the
Slaty Creek Baptist church in early
manhood and lived pious faithful
and upright christian life. He was
at date Of his death a member of the
Hartford Baptist church. Of him it
can truly be said a kind and good
man has been called to his reward
and in his death his church loses a
bright and shining light, Hartford,
his home, Kind and obliging citizen
and his family devoted, true and
good husband and father.
The REPUBLICAN extends condo
lence to his bereaved family and
friends.

near Concord, last Tuesday morning
at 2 o'clock. He had been in declin-
ing health for several months and
his death was not unexpected. At
ter burial services conducted by the
Dundee and Hartford Masonic lodges
at 10 o'clock Wednesday his remains
were laid to rest in the family bury
ing ground. Mr.. Duke had been a
consistent member of the Methodist
church many years.
