JOE SMITH CLAIMS FRAUD WAS
USED TO GET HIM TO
SIGN DEED.
Asks Courts to Give II Back to Him
Other Suits of Interest That
Have Been Filed.

Joseph H. Smith through his at
torney, Hal S. Corbett, has filed a
suit in circuit court against James p.
Smith. his brother, and other heirs
of the late James r. Smith, to secure
half interest in the real estate Of
the deceased and for 100000 rents
and profits on the property. In nc
way does the suit attempt to break
the will of Captain J. r. Smith. At
torney Corbett says.
Attorney Corbett stated that the
records show not one piece of prop
erty bought by the deceased was taxi
en- in his name, but in the name OF
j. r. Smith, trustee for Jim and Joe
Smith his heirs. The property thus
bought will aggregate $500. 900. II Is
estimated. and the plaintiff alleges
that on July 10. 1899 James p.
Smith fraudulently and through mis-
representation got the plaintiff. Joe
Smith. to deed over his half of prop
erty to his father, j. r. Smith. He
prays that the court set this deed
deed aside and surrender the half
interest in the property to him along
with 100000 rents, profits, etc
The property includes some of the
most valuable in the city. including
the Hotel Lagomarsno building and
the building occupied by the Citizens
Savings bank
In his fathers will, the plaintiff
in this case was given only a monthly
allowance.

Green Lamps Talk to Car Men.

The street car lines in New York
have their, lantern signals the same
as steam railways. Different barns
they are still called barns, al

signals with red and green lanterns,
On an Eighth avenue car the other
night two green lanterns were
swinging from the rear. A passen.
ger asked why.

planned the conductor. "On ouI
down trip the transfer men along
the run see the green lights. Then
they know that their relief will ap-
pear within a certain time, differ
ing according to the length of the
run, and that they can go home.

the rear. A green signal ahead no.

We had a pasture we called the

pike. The woods were divided by
q small prairie, which was well set
in blue grass, which afforded excel

and summer work was done We
would turn our horses all out In
that pasture at night.

BSEN's MASTERPIECE.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific;
from Maine to Texas, the critical thea.
tire goer has felt the mediocrity Of the
modern moral play. That the majority
Of SO called problem plays are weak,
lacking in their entertaining qualities,
ia evidenced by their short lives.
Ghosts" the stirring masterpiece Of
the Norwegian -dramatist genius, is not
only powerful to the extent Of having
actually caused strong men to cry out,
but only holds the audience IN such
spellbound attention that after the fall
Of the final curtain scarcely person
moves until the ushers throw open the
exit doors. From the FIRST production
Of "Ghostss this season the immense
audiences have demonstrated its popu-
larity. Yet it is not the play alone
which has won success. Claus Bogel
and Adelaide Fitz Allen and their gifted
company portray the subtle force Of
lbsen's domestic tragedy with such ex-
eellence that as characterized by an
eminent New York critic; Gone for
gets one is in theatre and that the
people who move before him are ac-
tori"
This wonderful play will be at the
Barre Opera House Saturday, February
18th.

There was once in New York an Irish
tailor whose eeceHtricities threatened to
bring trouble to him, but whose wit all
ways saved HIM One morning Mrs
Murphy came into his shop and found
him laboriously working with pencil
and piece Of paper. She asked him
what he was doing, and he replied he
was making out list of the men On
the block whom he could whip. rs

Murphy's name headed the list. When
Murphy heard of this he came to the
shop with belligerenee IN his eyes. He
