Those who witnessed the play at the

was one OF the strongest productions
OF its kind In GOOdland for many a

the servitude Of the De Orc family.
This picturesque king in bonds,
whose bravery against the cruelty OF
the Spaniard, is wonderful, is descrfb-
ed in the words Of Robert IngersoH,
than whom there is no stronger, ten

goes out for IsadOra, the daughter Of
the wicked countess, defending her
against intrigue attempts upon her
life, and the jeopardy OF her position.

DOWN ATHLETES
Game With Western League Team
Was Hard Fought Here Thurs
day Afternoon

After a hard fought game Of ten
innings, the Pueblo Western League
defeated the GOOdland Athletics by a
score Of 10 to Z
At the end OF the ninth, the score
stood Z to Z, but in the tenth Pueblo

that put three men across home plate
The game was one Of the most in
tensely interesting ever played fnGood-
land, and the smuggling by the Athletics
was phenomenal They put the ball
over the fence twice, one OF the big
hits by MahOney bringing in three
men and himself scoring.
The Athletics, though losing out in
the tenth inning, are satisfied with
the record made with q Western
League team.

Jail to See II She Was There.
Carrie Nation, saloon snasher and
terror to evil doors, was reported to
be in GOOdland last week. on her re-
turn east from Denver. The news Of
her awful presence spread itself
among the people with the rapidity Of
IreSn calamity. Fear, curiosity, ad-
miratiOns love, chilled and melted as
many different hearts Every eye was
kept peeled for Carrie, but as evening
wore on and there was no Carrie to
be seen, the public mind sank back
into its WOnted repOse- The Office man
came very nearly sending the Par
son" out to investigate, with the hope
OF getting a slug-headed interview
with Kansas great dame.
e S. McKain, clerk in the master
mechanics Office, returning home in
the evening for supper, convinced two
vtvaciOus maidenss living in the Leon
ard fat, that Carrie was no doubt in
town and had been put in the county
Jail as a guarantee Of public safety
Without waiting TO ponder, on they
tripped in noisy glee to see Carrie,
while AIcKain and a few others laugh
ed mirrily away. The girls made their
way TO the courtyard, followed the
vaults TO the rear Of the building and
on TO the strong and grfm-appearing
structure There they peered up at
the irOn-lattiCed windows, calling tim
idly, oh. Mrs Nation, CaTTiei'
There was no returning sound from
within the heavy walls. All they could
hear was their own heavy heart
beats. Then they lOked through the
windows Of the sheriff's Office, but
Carries determined little face and
gray head appeared not at the iron
latticed door.
"Oh, Mack has been fOoling US; I
don't believe Carrie is in town at all"
one said. And she wasn't But curl
osity had been satisfied. The maidens
returned IeisureIy, and told Mr.. Nc
Kahn what the Good Book says about
telling things that amt so.

Junction City, Kan, Aug. a.
When Congressman Charles Curtis
looked down from the BRIGADE head
quarters Of the Kansas national guard
where he was a guest just before the
Kansas troops moved, he had good
view Of the ruins OF the first statehOuse
Of Kansas. He said to a party Of
friends that ne had just appealed to
the secretary Of war that the depart
ment take some action that would re-
suit in the preservation Of Kansas
first capital for the reason that Kan
sas is pOwerless to act on account OF
an act OF Jefferson Davis, when he
was secretary Of war in 1854, which
caused Pawnee to be included in the
Fort Riley reservation.
The building is fast going to ruins
and unless something is done soon the
old capitol will collapse.

South Carolina Republican National
Committeeman Loses Out

Washington, Jan. 19.-The appoint.
ment of Ernest F. Cochran, of Ander.
son, to be district attorney of South
Carolina has created a sensation in
South Carolina circles. He takes
the place of John G. Capers, national
committeeman for South Carolina
Mr.. Cochran was not a candidate for
the place, but he had been highly rec
commended in connection with the new
judgeship, which it is expected will be
created for South Carolina
1t developed some time ago that
certain charges affecting his efficien-
cy as an official had been made against
Mr.. Capers, and these have been I'm.
der investigation by the department of
justice. Just the nature of the charges
officials will not disclose. One charge
has to do with his acting as attorney
for distilling company, which, as dis
trict attorney, it was expected he
would be called upon to prosecute.
The fact of this being done to the
South Carolina member of the nation
al committee, following on the heels
of similar treatment of National com
mitteeman Lyons, of Georgia, is re-
garded as indicating that not much re-
spect for the party organization in
the south is felt in the White House
these days.

Cotton Letter.

Americas, Ga, Jan. 19.-In spite
of apparently we'll grounded reports
that Price sold yesterday on the rise
and again this morning, showing plain
Iy that he is by no means a bnIl, Liv-
erpool closed at the top on the cash
months and within point of the top
on the balance of the list, the net ad-
vance of the day being IA to Is points.
This was more than full response to
our gain of yesterday, but further adj
vance here was retarded by an unusual
amount of profit taking by longs.
There were also heavy orders to sell
at 10 cents for July and apparently all
the way from II 80 to 1870. for May, AS
might have been expected there was
some spot cotton for sale, too. at the
new high level and under the circum-
s,ances 1t may be considered remarka-
BILE that prices have held as we'll as
they have.
A market which goes up So per bale
and sticks there practically at the top
certainly looks sound to the core, a be-
lief which is made stronger by the Sc
we're test which so much protit-takIng
and short selling has made it undergo.
The amount of actual cotton for sale
around present prices is so firmly linn
tied to the holdings of the middlemen
and interior spectators who were car
ried away by bullish enthusiasm on
the last rise and loaded themselves up
with cotton which was heavy burden
during the sharp decline following.
A continuance of only fair demand
will easily absorb this supply in very
short time, and then exporters and
others who need cotton must knock at
the door of the farmer. From all &C.
commits the farmers are a unit in their
determin alton to hold, if not for loo.
at least 1r considers bly, higher prices,
and there will be difficulty in getting
them to turn loose, fact which must
inevitably favorably influence prices
Some additional profit taking just
bafore the close caused prices to sell
off leaving the market five points un-
der Yesterday. Liverpool is due 2 to
higher tomorrow, but Saturday may
