of 1.-The Virginian'' as the cowboy hero
himself and two more striking male
roles have seldom been found in a
single play. 1t has been argued that
actors who play one line of parts for
i number of years unconsciously carry
into their private life some of the feel
ing engendered by the Interpretation
Of these roles on the stage. In some
cases this may be true, but usually the
player leaves the character at the
theater, as is illustrated in the case
of Dustin Farnum and Frank Campeau
who appear as deadly enemies in this
play of the west. These two young &C
tors have played opposite each other
for a number of years. one as the hero
and the other as the villain, to all In
tents and purposes filled with undying
hatred for each other, while in reality
during all of this time they have been
bosom friends.

Jared Elliott, one of the best known
farmers of the county, living two miles
south of Minerva, is very critically Ill
at his home, suffering from catarrhal
pneumonia. Today the attending ply
sician holds out slight hope for his
recovery, which is considered as good
indication, for on Tuesday it was fear
ed he could not possibly live. Mr.. Ell
lott was only taken i'll on Saturday,
when he suffered chill.
Mrs. j. l.. Ingledue, Jr., of Albion.
whose husband is a brother-in-law OF
Mr.. Elliott, arrived in the city Tuesday
evening from Bussey, where she had
been to.spend Christmas with her sis
ter, Mrs. j, w. Anderson, and went to
Minerva, summoned on account of Mr..
Elloitt's illness. Mrs. Ingledue return
ed to Albion this morning. A strange
coincidence, in connection with the
Bussey visit, is that Mrs. 1ngledue's
niece, Miss Grace Strain, Of Green

same time that her father, DR.. j. f..
Strain, Mrs. Ingledue's brother, had
been stricken with paralysis. Miss

A former Marshalltown girl, Josie
Allen, daughter of Oscar Allen, of this
city, known professionally as Virginia
Drew Prescott, has been selected by
the management as being the most
capable exponent Of Hubert Henry
Davies charming comedy success,
Cousin Kate" Miss Prescott has been
quite successful in her recent starring
tours, and a Marshalltown audience
would like to see her in her present
seasons success. In Cousin Kate" the
curtain rises on a well-kept Eng
lish home, somewhat disrupted by the
warning interests of Amy, the daugt-
ter of the house, Heath Desmond, her
lover, and Bartlett, the temporary GU
rate of the parish, who is also in love
with Amy. Amy has come to believe
that Desmond is possibly a trifle too
light-hearted to mate with one of her
serious disposition. Upon being told
that such are her thoughts, Desmond
disappears completely. Cousin Kate
comes on visit to the disordered
home, she experienced her first thrill
of love on the train to the village
where the action laid, meeting really
wonderful man while en- route. While
talking over Amy's troubles the news
is brought by the Rev. Bartlett that
Desmond has returned. Bartlett wishes
to propose to Amy before she sends a
note to Desmond, but Kate keeps them
apart, and Amy writes her lover to
come back to her. Cousin Kate goes
to Desmond's home to prepare for his
arrival and while the eventful man
of the train appears, Amy comes on
the scene, and Kate finds that her
lover is the man engaged to marry
Amy. All ends happily, as Amy con-
fesses to Desmond that she loves Bart
lett; he releases her from her promise
to him, and thereby furnishes proof
of the old adage, Love Finds the
Way"

DEAD RETURNS TO LIFE.

Left for dead and stripped for post
mortem examination, Louis Viele. an
Italian, frightfully stabbed at Des
Moines by negro astounded the hos
pital corps recently by coming to life.
The heart had ceased beating and res
piration had ended when DR.. Wilbur
Conkling inserted his hand in the
wound which had been made by a
razor, pinched the heart and awaited
developments. Suddenly a shudder
passed over the frame of the patient,
the pale face became suffused with a
swift thrush of blood. and the veins
and arteries began to pulsate. In five
minutes the erstwhile dead was living
and the physicians proceeded to sew
the gaping wounds.
