The fioonshiReT's Daughter.

What is reported to be one of the
few genuine dramatic hits of the sea-
sen, s'The Moonshiner's Daughter, -
is to be the offering at the Opera
House Friday March IA.
There is romantic love story in
terwoven throughout the action of the
play which strikes responsive chord
in the hearts of all beholders. The
intense scenes are relieved by numer-
GUS bits of comedy, which add zest to
the entertainment. Every scene is
said to be mounted in an entirely
new and novel manner. AS might be
inferred from the title, the story OF
the play deals with the warfare be-
tween the proprietors of the Illicit
stills and the government revenu'
officers. A very realistic battle is re
produced, and there is hair-raisini
lynching scene.

Attempt 10 burn Jail.

j. W. Lawrence, the bold, bad
burglar, who was nabbed while at
tempting to loot the safe of Felthouse
Bros. Thursday night and who is now
in Jail awaiting his trial in the dis
trict court, set his bedding afire Mon
day either with the intention of burn
ing the jail or committing suicide.
He was almost suffocated when dis
covered by Janitor Tracy who noticed
smoke coming out under the jail
door and Immediately gave the alarm.
The commissioners who were in session
at once went to the rescue and the
flames were quickly extinguished.
Lawrence now pretends to be insane
and says his head is full of nails and
wants Jesus to come and help pull
them out. DR.. Waterhouse was sum-
mond and at once decided that an ex-
animation was unnecessary, as the fell
low is undoubtedly "shamming "
They say the way Comissioner Will
son handled the hose, would cause
some of Welser's fire laddies to hide
away. Anyway, before he "turned i
off" Lawrence had about forgotten al
about his nails.
