Way Down East" Well Presented
Pleases Coco. Sized Audience.

There are rural and pastoral dramas
and comedy dramas without number,
but there are only Il few of the class
of Shore Acres" and The Old
Homestead" with the essence Of human
nature as their foundation, which have
proved able to stand the test of repe-
tition for any great number of years.
Way Down East" is one of this kind.
and while seen here four or five times
within almost as many years the audi
ence which greeted its return Wednes-
day night was a large one. The story
of Way Down East" is too old to need
repetition, but it furnishes a good We
hicle for the delineation of the lights
and shadows of ld-fashioned country
life of the east.
The presenting company, with W. III.
st. James, old in the part, playing the
squire, was collectively above the av-
erage, but individually they are not
deserving of so much praise. Miss
Bridges made only passably fair An
ma Moore, and Hi Holler. one of the
best comedy parts of all, was made
little of by George Leach. In the
main the rest of the company was good
with Mr.. Raymond. realistic David,
and Mr.. ]. A. McCurdy, par excellent
Rube Whipple, town constable. me
remaining members of the cast were up
to the average, or better.

Mrs. E. v. Ritchey Victim of
Thief In Chicago Hotel and
Loses Diamonds
DETECTIVES ARE EMPLOYED
In HurriedIy Leaving Hotel to Catch
Train For This City, Mrs. Ritchey
Left chamois Bag, Containing Jew
els, Under PiIIow-Returning, in an
Hour, Precious Stones Were Missing.

The news of diamond robbery, in
which Mrs E. v. Ritchey of this city,
was the victim, has been made public
thru a press dispatch sent out from
Burlington, the former home of Mr.
and Mrs. Ritchey. Mr.. Ritchey, who is
manager of the Marshalltown Pottery
Company, was in Chicago on bust
ness trip last Saturday and was ac-
| companied by Mrs. Ritchey. Not car
ing to leave her valuables here Mrs.
Ritchey took her jewelry with her. car
rying all that she did not wear in lit
tie channels bag. In leaving the hotel
hurriedly the jewels were left under
the pillow in the room occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Ritchey, and upon their re-
turn in an hour, were gone.
The monetary loss is not considered
so much by Mrs. Ritchey as is the fact
of the association connected with their
gift to her. The jewels included large
ly diamonds, altho there were sereval
pearls and one fine emerald in the
number. Most Of the diamonds were
two beautiful brooches and one pin.
The jewels were all the gifts OF Mr..
Ritchey to his wife, and had covered
period of nine years, made upon differ
ent occasions, that were happily re-
membered as husband and wife. In
cluded among the stolen jewels was
Mrs. Ritchey's engagement ring. and
also her wedding-day gift. The cost
value of the jewels is $1,000, but that
does not represent their actual value at
this day, as diamonds and all precious
stones have advanced so rapidly in re-
cent years, and could hardly be re-
placed short of twice the actual cost
value.
Mr. and Mrs. Ritchey oversight on
the morning of the robbery, and when
they awoke realized that they would
have to make haste if they wished to
catch their train home. Mrs. Ritchey
had removed her jewels the night be-
fore and put them all in the little cha
mois bag. This she had placed under
her pillow, and in hurrying to leave
the hotel for the depot forgot to take
the precious little package. The trip
to the station was a hurried one, and
the train had gone. 1t was not until
then that Mrs. Ritchey missed her
jewels, and remembered having left
them under her pillow. The room had
beel left open, and altho 1t was but
an hour before Mr.. and Mrs. Ritchey
again reached their room, the chamois
bag and jewels were gone.
Mr.. Ritchey, directly after the rob-
berry, communicated with detectives,
who are now working on the case. A
detailed report, received by mail We'd
nesday, showed that nothing Of any
consequence had been found that will
lead to the recovery Of the jewels, and
Mr.. Ritchey does not have much hopes
of ever securing them.

The Rabbits took a brace in the
eighth, and scored Sc ~, but the lead
their opponents had was too great to
be overcome. Kirk pitched for the
high school and Ritter opposed him
