ADJUSTMENTS
A Most Popular Bill.

A more popular or delightful eve
ning's entertainment than a rendition
of the musical gems" from the grand
operas of Carmen" I'll Trovotore,"
and Faust" could not be arranged
tor please the mass of music lovers of
this city. When sang in English by
such superb artists as Nine. Eugenia
Mantelli, Nine. Helene Noldi, Signor
Archiili ALBERT, Walter H. Wheatley
and other principals almost equally as
well known, the musical treat be-
comes doubly enjoyable.
The Mantelli Operate company,
which J. Saunders Gordon is this sea-
son presenting for public approval
and which will be heard at the Whit
man college chapel on Friday evening,
seems destined to be the most popular
hit Of the present season, since its
repertoire comes nearer reaching the
so-called popular" taste, and the per-
sonnet of the organization is Of an un-
usual high order. "a

REPORTS IN CIRCULATION CON-
cERNiNG PENITENTiARY
OFFICIALS DENIED.
Walter L. cadman Is Being Thoroughly
Coached in Duties by State
s Clerk MeGlynn.

The politicians in Walla Walia and
many throughout the state were con-
siderably excited yesterday by the cir
culation of rumors that the present
officers at the state penitentiary were
to leave the institution as soon as their
successors weer announced and that
all information as to the system of
running the institution would be with
held from the incoming administration.
One story was to the effect that War
den Dryden was doing everything pos
sibie. to embarass the new admins
tration; another that Governor Nc
Bride was pardoning TRUSTEES that
have been engaged In important cler-
ical work at the prison and another
that Walter L. Cadman. who is slated
to be the state clerk had been refused
admittance to the Office at the peniten-
tiary. 1t was also claimed that a num-
Der of the guards had been dismissed
without cause
When interviewed by a representa-
tive of the Statesman, Warden Dryden
gave an emphatic denial to the run,ors.
He said that no more TRUSTEES than
usual were being paroled and that
only one guard had been dismissed.
and his discharge was occasioned by
drunkenness. Another guard had been
on leave of absence for the reason that
he did not desire to work there while
Captain Wells was in charge of the
guards. The warden also stated that
he had informed A. F. KEGS, who Is
to succeed him, that he would give him
all the assistance possible to take hold
Of the institution and conduct it with
out a hitch, and that he had referred
the matter of appointments Of new
guards at the penitentiary to friends
of Mr. KEGS in Walla Walla.
Cadman Says "No." -. =, .
To a representative Of the Evening
Statesman Walter l.. Cadman said:
There is not the least foundation for
the rumor that had been denied ad-
mittanee. to the penitentiary and ac-
cess to the books and records in the
state clerks office. On the other hand
I have been accorded the greatest pos
sible courtesy by Warden Dryden and
Clerk McGlynn. Mr.. McGlynn has
been exceedingly accommodating and
Is taking more than ordinary pains in
instructing me In the work Of the
Office"

The Country Girl.

When the Humphrey Chapman
company selected The Country Girl
for their offering during the first par,
of the current week they struck a pop
ular chord to which: local playgoers
responded with enthusiasm. AS a
consequence La Vern's theater is be-
ing packed nightly and the play will
doubtless prove a record-breaker, not
only In point of attendance, but from
an artistic standpoint as well. The
scenes laid about this charming pas
toral drama are historically correct
and the characters are chosen with
a fine discrimination as to their indi-
vidual capabilities. AS Mercy Baxter,
the title role Miss Chapman has liter
ally romped and courtesied herself
into the hearts Of her audience, while
Mr.. Humphrey won new laurels by his
masterful portraiture of Jack Hender-
son.
Tomorrow night the present bill will
give place to that delightful comedy
success "A Cheerful LIAR" which by
the way. should not be confused with
IA Prince Of Liars" produced here re-
Gently. Children should not forget the
fit matinee for Saturday.
