ENCHANTMENT DOING BETTER
Larger Attendance Enjoys n Smoother
Performance of the Pretty
Spectacle.

II was a large audience which greeted
the fairy play, "Enchantment," last night
at the Auditorium in its second production.
The management expressed themselves as
well pleased with the attendance. They
look forward, however, to the matinee
today as the occasion when the largest
numbers will be present On both even
ings thus far the children have been far In
the minority in the audience, and they are
expected to come out in force this after
noon.
Last nights performance passed OF, II
possible, even mare smoothly than that of
the night before. The little folks were all
perfectly at ease during the first presenta-
tion, but last night the applause of large
numbers served to put added life and grace
into their movements. Gladys Chandler in
solos and Corinne Beatrice Klein and Mil
dred Vivian Wertz in solo dances, were
given enthusiastic encores. Miss Klein s
Spanish dance would last an hour If the
spectators had their way. Nor would the
people be contented with one dance of the
flower girls, but they must go through the
graceful motions second time. Roy Klein
as Moth the Miller, with his fun-making
proclivities, was another attraction to the
audience. Louise Bennett as Puck and
Ruth Brandeis queen of the flowers, were
not less pleasing. Miss Dovey sang with
her usual charm.

president regarding 1t and has received per-
mission TO &c to the capitol for a personal
interview
Governor Carter says he had urged Pres
ident Roosevelt to accept his resignation
and appoint a successor. His action, 1t is
declared, was not due to the election OF Z.
M. Brown as high sheriff, but had been un-
der consideration for some time. 1t was
first written on June g. but was withheld
on the advice of friends, who asked him
not TO send 1t to Washington.
The resignation was the elimination of a
long series Of events which led Govern or
Carter to the conclusion that he could be
of more service to the territory of Hawaii
outside the gubernatorial chair than In that
position.
Territorial Secretary Atkinson arrived
today from China. He had been regarded
as likely to succeed Governor Carter. This
has been found to be impossible. as he Is

BANK BOOKS ARE EXAMINED
Official Records Are Investigated by
Order Issued by United states
Judge Garland.

Pursuant to an order isued by Judge John
e. Garland at the February term of the
United States circuit court held In this CITY,
an examination of the books and accounts
of the defunct Bank of Overton, Dawes
county, at the Instance of S. L. Hardinger,
is being held before United States Circuit
Court Clerk George II. Thummel as special
referee.
The Bank of Overton went into voluntary
liquidation three or more years ago, being
practically absorbed by the bank at Lex
ington, Neb. S. L. Hardinger of Missouri
was a stockholder in the Bank of Overton,
or at least was an owner of a considerable
block of stock in the bank, at the time of
it's liquidation. G. S. Hardinger, relative
of s. L. Hardinger, was cashier OF the
bank, and held also some OF the stock
in the bank.
Cashier Hardinger went to Chicago some
time before the bank went into liquidation
and his dead body was shortly thereafter
found in Lincoln park, where evidently
he had committed suicide Whether his
suicide had anything to do with the sub
squent action of the banks going into
liquidation is not clear. However, S. L,
Hardinger brought suit against the bank
and it's directors for his share of the pro-
ceeds or dividends of the bank represent
ing the amount he had invested therein
The case has been tried in various forms
in the United States courts for two or three
years past one feature of 1t finally getting
into the United States circuit court of ap-
peals. However. the present proceedings
are for an accounting and examination OF
the records of the bank held at the in.
stance of s. L. Hardinger to ascertain his
rights in the matter.

GREAT AMERICAN TIN CAN
Over n Billion Turned out in a Year
and Used for Various
Purposes.

The American Can company is manu-
featuring cans at the rate of 1000O0,000 IA
month or 1,2O0,OOO,OOO a year. This is an
increase in eight years of 800, 600 cans in
the annual OUTPUT.
This is wonderful record when It is
remembered that previous to 1850 compara-
lively few cans were manufactured in
this country. The civil war gave impetus
to the canning industry, but even then
with the great armies in the field it was
not believed that much food could be
trusted to tin cans. In the decade after
the war, however, experiments were made
in every direction, and meats, fruits, vege-
tables. fish and other American products
went in cans to the remotest parts of the
earth.
At the beginning of the Spanish -Ameri-
can war, in 1898. there were 1000 canneries
in the United States, which put up an
nually S72OOO,o0O worth of canned goods.
Most of the canned goods were consumed
at home, but the year before the war we
| sent abroad canned fruits to the value of
81, ,346, PSI and canned meats to the value of
! 81, 900.
Since 1892 we have been manufacturing
our own tin plate. The production of tin
and terne plates increased from 42,119OOO
|
This home manufacture of tin plates gave
| great impetus to the manufacture of cans,
the bulk of the American tin plate product
| going to the can manufacturers.
| Ingenuity and activity in canmaking ran
! parallel with the invention of new ma
| chinery and new processes for the prepa-
ration of products for canning Under
new processes nearly every food used by
| families was put into cans and became an
article of merchandise. This led to spe-
cialized industries suited to the handling
of products grown in particular neighbor-
hoods and to the exploiting OF crops and
| fruits suited to canning.
For example, about 1900 fishing vessels
and 25 900 fishermen, and 1000 oyster boats
with 10000 men are employed on the At
lantic coast by canning establishments, and
the salmon canneries of the Pacific coast
constitute one of our great industries.
The tin can has not only contributed
| to the comfort and convenience of the
housekeeper at home and abroad, but II
has led to a revolution in the growing
of vegetables, great plantations being de-
| voted to the growing of peas, beans, etc,
to be canned green.
| The tin can has much to answer for,
but it has almost eliminated the seasons
from the consideration of the cook and
| has made II possible to serve the most
succulent of vegetables and the most de-
licious of fruits in the ice fields OF the
north and the desert of Sahara.-Chicago
