MARIE HOWE COMES
AGAIN TO THE
BELASCO STOCK

Marie Howe, the well-known char
acter actress, will make her reappear-
ance tonight as member of the Be-
iasco theater stock company. Miss
Howe will play one of the important
roles in the laughable farce, "a
Stranger in a Strange Land.
The play has to do with the AIMING
complications that follow the return to
his London home of a young man who
has spent two years in America, in
New York city in reality. although he
persuades his people to believe his time
in America was completely devoted to
the conduct of cattle ranch near
Buffalo, N. Y. To heighten the fiction,
he induces his chum to don Indian
garb and substanitate his marvellous
tales of life in America. The advent
of a real Indian, in the employ of a
patent medicine doctor and the as
sumption of Indian disguise by de-
tective from Scotland Yard add great
ly to the comic complications.
"A Stranger in a Strange Land" is
regarded as one of the surest laugh
producers of the native stage.
The performance tonight will engage
the services of VIII r. Walling, the
new leading man of the Belascp or
ganization, who has achieved much
popularity in a single week; George w.
Barnum, Richard Vivian. William YER
ance William Bernard, Howard Scott,
Robert l.. Dempster, Juliet Crosby.
Adele Harrington and others of the
Belasco company.
"Hearts of Maryland" Tickets
Seats for the performances of 1.-THE
Heart of Maryland" at the Belasco next
week, which will introduce Amelia
Gardner once more as the leading lady
of the stock company, will go on sale
this morning.
Reports from the ticket department
of the Belasco are to the effect that
enough orders for seats have been re-
ceived by mail and phone to fill the
house for three nights. However, these
orders will not be filled until the ticket
purchasers in front of the box office
this morning have been satisfied.
There has been such an unusual de-
mand for large blocks of seats for next
weeks performances of THE Heart of
Maryland" that the Belasco manage
ment has determined to limit the num-
ber of tickets that will be sold this
morning to any single person to six.
This is only intended as a barrier to
the financial aspirations of speculative
ly Inclined persons who see in Miss
Gardner's first performance at the Be-
lasco fine chance to reap a rich har-
vest

Sure ENOUGH
ROAD OVERSEER.
lMr. WeIby Ellis, of the PeIIytOn
} Country, Is Making Perm.
T. anent Road.

4 Probably the best piece of road in
Adair county is in the Pellyton country.
The overseer, Mr.. Welby Ellis, after
having the road properly graded is put
ting on heavy coat of gravel. In our
Judgment this is the proper way to
$make good roads, and if more of our
Eoverseers would follow this example.
the public could travel with more ease
and comfort.
In speaking of MIR. Ellis work our
Pellyton correspondent says: Certain
ly he is one of the best overseers in the
county, because he has conscientious
honest work done, and generally at the
Fright time, and always in the right
way"
In this little eulogy the keynote is
. struck. If we are to have good roads.
the overseer must see that everyt hand
does his full share Of work, and not put
up with a lick and promise.
