Uncle Tom Coming.

''Uncle Toms Cabin" never grows
old. There runs through it vein of
pathos peculiarly touching and sweet.
Like the kiss of child, it conquers
by the very innocence of its breath.
In the character of Eva it is unique.
Who does not cherish in memory some
sweet angelic child, who seemed to
touch this earth only as a transient
visitor, who passed away with the dew
of childhood's morning, too good, too
pure for us? Was there ever child
like Eva? Yes, but her name is writ
ten upon gravestones. This good old
play is unique because it is the only
one that portrays that character.
The scenery is excellent. In the
river scene one sees the floating cakes
of ice slowly moving down stream.
The plantation scene depicts a typical
southern home with its cotton fields,
its mansion and its log cabins. The
last scene in this picturesque drama
has perhaps taxed the skilled painter
and mechanic more than any other
spectacle that the stage can boast. It
is no fattery to say that 'The Beauti-
ful Gates Ajar" as now depicted by
this company, is one Of the most en-
trancing spectacles ever witnessed in
this city.

ED. B. ALIENS CANDIDACY.
Republicans Of This Portion Of the Eastern
District Entitled to Recognition.

Brookfield Gazette.
A very complimentary article in the
Linn County News ofthis week in re-
gard to the candidacy of Ed B. Allen
for appointment as internal revenue
collector for the Eastern district, ap-
pears to convey the idea that Mr..
Allen is candidate for the appoint
ment only in case the present incum-
bent, Mr.. Westhus, is not to be re-
appointed. We do not understand this
to be the situation. While Mr.. Allen
will make no fight against Mr.. West
hus or against any other aspirant for
the position, he is candidate for the
appointment regardless of any other
candidacy and has fattering line of
Endorsements from working and in
fuential republicans throughout the
state. If, notwithstanding all this, in
connection with the further fact that
it would appear only fair that republic
cans in this part of the Eastern dis
trict should be recognized, the ap-
pointment should 60 elsewhere, Mr..
Allen will be the first to congratulate
the successful candidate.
In this connection it may not be inn
proper to say further that Mr.. Allen
has practically the unanimous endorse
ment of the party organization in
North Missouri and large majority
Of the party organization in the East
ern district as we'll as that of promi-
nent republicans throughout the state.
Mr.. Allen is not the candidate of any
action.
from st. Louis Weekly Review.
Hon. E. B. Allen, of Linn county,
for collector of the revenue
# st. Louis, spent few days in the
ity this week looking after his candi- ,>..
lacy. Mr.. Allen said: tsI am receiv-
ng the Endorsements of the organiza-
ion, and expect to win along that
inc. l am making fair, open fight,
nd am proud to say, am being en-
orsed by the leaders throughout the
tate" Mr.. Allen has been in poll
les for a number of years, has always
pent his time and money in the inter-
st of the party, and has never before
sked recognition. He was once elect
to office in his county against his
fishes, but served his constituents
ell and faithfully during his term.
He has been largely the means of
eeping Linn county in the republic
n column for long time, as he is q
borough organizer, and one of the
est citizens of the state. He did not
'nsent to make fight for collector
the revenue at St. Louis until he
I'd been urged to do SO by many
aiding republicans throughout Mis-
uri, and when he starts in he fights
the end, and it is gratifying to his
lends to know he is meeting with
ch wonderful encouragement.
