In the report Of the oYercoat case

recovered at another place in the

that the Rock Island detectives have
been unjust to him in seeking to make

innocent OF any wrong doing and was
without knowledge as to the crime
that others had committed I'D to the

THE SUNDAY NIGHT rHEATER.
One Of the sAehfeTements5 OF q Isrve
CITY EEne Ir-e-l ELera So


For the first time In the history OF
our city there was presented at the
Grand opera house by the Kerkhoff-
HIlman company a Sunday theatrical
performance This performance was
not scheduled before hand or by de-
sign but fnasmuch as the company
had 10 lay over in GoOdland Sunday
night it was concluded by the man.
agement Of the opera house and Kerk-
hOn-Hillman people to favor Good
land with a Sunday night theater.
The play produced was entitled
The Nan Of Mystery" and Mr..
KerkhOh, in explaining the circum-
stances Of this extra engagement and
the character Of the play, said that
this production was held in special re-
serve for Sunday night engagements.
he assured the people that IL was q
strictly moral play with climaxes in
favor OF the good and virtuOus over
the powers Of evil and while he re-
cOgnlZed that Sunday was more gen
orally given over in the smaller towns
70 religious worship he inferred that
il was no violation Of our local Gus
toms TO put on play OF 50 high q
character as The Nan Of Mystery
The play Sunday night was not
nearly so well patrOnized as was the
previous nights Of the week and the
conclusion may be fairly drawn that
GOodland people are not yet ready to
accept the Sunday night theater. 1t
IS certain that many good church peO-
pie who patronized the show during
the previous nights refrained from go
ing on Sunday which, OF itself, would
make a considerable difference in the
attendance.
The people Of Goodland are each
year glad to greet the return Of the
kerkhOff-Hillman company, and
while they wish for an abundant sue
cess for the KerkhOff-HiIlman compa-
ny, and while they wish for an abund-
ant success for the Hillman aggrega-
ton, they simply demurred to the
Sunday night play without any con-
science feeling Of giving offense or re-
ceiving injury by this theatriaI limo

Newt did q wise thing when ne left

which will always make good to him
whenever he wishes to return and
make a good living in western Kan
