they would take charge of the entertain

the theater goers was foregone conclu.

"The Fatal Scar" at the Opera House
next Sunday, is pronounced beautiful
story; beautiful because Of its simplici
ty, beautiful because Of it's honesty, and
beautiful in the lesson it brings to every
heart. The piece appeals strongly to the
public; it is simple story of love, free
from coarseness, and is one of the most
moral and instructive Of the popular
dramas that visit US constantly.
"The Fatal Scar" has an exceptionally
capable company composed Of players
we'll known to our theatre-goers, il ed
dition to the actors more or less famed
for their histrionic attainments, is the
famous Frank James, the brother of
Jesse James, now grown gray, and leaves
the quiet peace of his farm only at the
use of greatest persuasion and comes as
a feature to the attraction and is sure to
draw crowded house.

being played, many soul-refioing tear
is shed. The drama is replete with in-
terest, incident following incident go
closely it seems that the authors in.
vention must find its limit. But no, the
action sustains novelty and force to the
very close Of the play. The company is
one Of unusual excellence, and in addi.

play is Frank James, brother Of Jesse

"The Moonshiner's Daughter" which
held the boards at the Opera House last
Sunday evening was poorly attended.
The production was a melo-drama in
four acts and contained more shooting
and killing than Adjutant General Sher-
man Bell in all of his long and varied
military experience ever dreamed OF see
ing. At the Conclusion OF the second
act the stage WAS veritable battle Held
and almost the entire cast was killed OF.
But like the proverbial cat the actors

more lives than one, and were all active

the final test. Some specialties we're in
troduced such as singing and dancing,

HOLMES INDICTED.

United States District Attorney Nor
gan H. Beach, who had just returned tC
Washington from New York, announced
last night that Edwin S. Holmes, jr.,
had been indicted, as well as Peckham
and Haas, who have already been ar
rested, and are now under bond for their
appearance, and that Holmes would sur
render himself this morning. 1t Is be-
lived that Holmes completes the list OF
those indicted up to date on charges
growing out of the cotton report leak.
Holmes was until recently the associate
statistician OF the Department OF Agri-
culture. He was dismissed as an out
come of the investigation into the leak
age. There are two indictments cover
ing the charges against the three men.
Following a statement made his coun-
sci that Moses Haas, who has been
Jointly indicted with Frederick ;. Peck
ham and Edwin 5. Holmes, jr.,
in the cotton crop scandals on the charge
of conspiring to defraud the United
States, had not been III nldlng, MI.
Haas formally surrendered to United
States Marshal Henkel in New York
Yesterday. Mr.. Haas was then taken
before Commissioner Hitchcock. The
commissioner accepted bail in the sum
of $40, 900. United States District At
torney Morgan H. Beach, who has had
charge of the cotton scandal investiga-
ton, was present before Commissioner
Shields yesterday afternoon when Mr..
Haas was brought into court.
Section $40, of the Revised Statutes,
under which Holmes is indicted, and
which it is understood forms the grava-
men of the charge against the three men,
provides that if two or more persons
conspire either to commit any offsnsf
against the United States, or to defraud
the United States in any manner, and
one or more of such parties do any act
to effect the object of the conspiracy, all
the parties to such conspiracy shall be
liable to penaly of not less than 81 600,
and not more than $40, 900, and to inn
prisonment of not more than two years.

Col MnshY Criticized

Col. John 5. Mosby is being criticized
bv government attorneys. He is alleged
to have given out to the press the infor-
nation concerning the latest charges
against Senator Burton, OF Kansas, of
which he was the official investigator,
before he had made his report to acting
Attorney General Robb. Prosecuting
officers habitually desire the conviction
of offenders before they talk much about
it, but some of Colonel Mosby's friends
evidently persuaded him that pubic
policy required some dissemination OF
the latest information AS a check to the
rising tide of sentiment in Burton's favor
among Kansas politicians.
Colonel Mosby is employed by the de-
partment asa special attorney, and in
that capacity went 10 the Indian Terri
tory to investigate the case. When in
Kansas and Nebraska investigating the
land and cattle frauds some months
ago his work was strikingly effective and
resulted in many prosecutions. He was
next sent to Alabama to follow the
peOnage cases.
The Department has assured string
ent order against further public state
ments regarding pending cases, supposed
to be aimed at Colanel Mosby. and with
this, it is thought, the matter will be
dropped, although it has been predicted
that an effort would be made to dislodge
him from Office.
Colonel MOsby has been great favor
lite of republican Presidents. He es-
pOused the republican cause at the close
OF the civil war, and Grant gave him
the Hongkong consulate. Mckinley
placed him in the Department OF Justice
where he has been promoted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He is Y years old and

Lied Like a Gentleman.

As strange a story as that constituting
the plot Of any novel, will be told Il
Governor Higgins, of New York, BY a
New York city lawyer when he endeav-
ors to secure the pardon OF man who
chose to serve a sentence of three years
imprisonment in Sing Sing prison for
theft, of which he was innocent, to shield
the name of a woman from scandal.
Carl Fisher Hansen, the lawyer, said
yesterday that he would at once appeal
for the pardon of the prisoner, whose
name he would not reveal, at the request
of the woman, whose reputation the
prisoner had saved at an expense of his
own liberty. The woman, Mr.. Fisher
Hansen said, had visited his office within
few days, and said that her husband
had just died, and that she now wanted to
do justice to the prisoner. They had been
friends, and, more than year ago when
her husband returned Unexpectedly, he
caught the other running away. To save
her from scandal, the man confessed that
be had broken into the room to steal,
whereupon he was arrested and is now in
Sing Sing.
"The prisoner" said Mr.. Fisher-Han-
sen, was a Young college student, who
disappeared from one of the colleges
when he was arrested. No one has ever
known what became of him, as he was
tried snd sentenced uuder an assumed
name"
The woman in the case has also paid
penalty for her indscretion, as a ser
want, who knew Of the affair, has collect
ed $50, 600 in blackmail fro II her within
a few years. She is member of one OF
the best of the old f,milies of New York,
aad her late husband owned several fac
tories in New Jersey.
The lawyer added that he expected a
signed statement from the woman and
would then investigate the case.

The German Note.

Paris, Aug. 26.-The German note
on the Moroccan question was presented
to Premier Rouvier by Prince Radlin,
the German Ambassador, today. Fol-
lowing the presentation of the note it
was discussed by NJ. Rouvier and the
German representative.
AS foretold yesterday, the note deals
with the terms under which the coming
conference by the powers on Morocco,
will be held, and the conditions to which
any reforms will be subjected. Several
of the points raised will necessitate a
further exchange of notes between Ger
many and France. The general tone of
the note is conciiatory, aud this is TAX
en- as an indication that peace between
Russia aud Japan will soon be agreed to.
1t has been remarked that the attitude
of Germany was aggressive while it
seemed certain that the war in the far
East would be continued. Now, she
feels, apparently that she cannot afford
to be a factor in disturbing the peace,
although she was ready en- ough to profit
by the trouble of another's making.

over WoOdward's action is very bitter,

he was incapacitated for weeks, and was
frequently arrested on the streets IN COM
pany with women of little standing.
Finally, to escape impeachment near the
close OF his term, he signed pledge to
resign should he offend again. Leaving
office, be was given position by the
Atlantic Street Railway Company, which
had secured monopoly of transportation
franchises during Woodward's term in
office. Abouta year ago Woodward was
reelected, owing to the fact that he re-
ceived the solid labor vote, 1000, while
the remaining 1900 votes were split
among four other candidates. Wood
ward was in Memphis some time ago in
company with notorious woman and
the council was on the point Of bringing

Snakes TO Fight Duel.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-State 10
ologist Surface is trying to bring about a
duel between blacksnake and a copper
head snake for the purpose of testing the
theory that backsnakes kill poisonous
reptiles.
DR.. Surface received blacksnake and
a copperhead snake Thursday, and im-
medistely placed both reptiles in boz 8
feet long and deep. As yet their sur
roundings are so new and so utterly un
like what they have been used to that
neither has mustered sufficient courage
to commence an attack.
If the blacksnake kills the copper
head, DR. Surface believes he will BE-
justified in accepting the theory that the
rattler is also killed by the blacksnake.
as the copperhead is more venouous than
the RATHER.
