been more marked, its prosperity more notable because it has come up on a longer prevalence of opposite conditions. Relatively, too, galns have been greater here than in other parts of the country; the enormous cotton crop of 1904, and the fair prices obtained for it, being the chlef contributory agency to this end. While the crop of 1905 was much smaller than that of the year preced- ing the average of prices has been above ten cents and the total product will probably realize above half a billion dollars exclusive of seed. This added to the enormous sum for which the unprecedented crop of 1904 was sold. makes the south financially very strong, and yields assurance or continuance of the reigning pros perity.

Not =Dramatization.

That s'The Clansman' is not a dramatization of a novel is a fact that should be emphasized The question of the merits or demerits of dramati- cations need not be entered Into Many of the most successful plays on the stage have been dramatizations notably "The Prisoner of Zenda,, "Trilby" and scores of others. The Clansman," however, is an original play. It is founded upon some o1 the scenes and incidents of Thomas Dixon Jrs. popular novels, "Ths Leopard's Spots and "The Clans man" and many of the characters are utilized but MT. Dixon in writing his play has gone about his work as il the novels had Dever been written The result is a strong, virile play that las met with the appreciation of the critics as well as the applause Of its auditors. "The Clansman' will be presented at the Elks theater Thurs day, matinee and night, January II.

The School Girl.

There are three full hours of mir Il great Enolish-Ameriean musical sue cess which comes to the Elks theater on next Wednesl lay, January 10. There is not a dull moment in the three scenes of the production, which will be one of the most pretentious and picturesque scenic portrayals ev- CT seen upon the local stage. The cul- tured audience of the Engl sh capital and the American metropolis were more than pleased with The School Cirl,'' which has been probably the greatest success on the musical com edy stage of two countries. The mu- sic of "The School Girl' is by Leslie and the book by Paul Potter and Hen ry Hamilton The story is that of T convent girl who runs away to Paris in order to find the artist sweetheart of her chum; who is mistaken for a newly engaged typewriter in the of fee of a rascaIy ock-broker; who upsets his swindling plans; brings about happy marriage of her chum, and incidentally works up a pretty love affair of her own. The role is especially adapted to pretty Miss Car rie eynolds, who, in her convent school dress in the first scene, is de- rlurely charming, and in her creation of laces and ribbons in the ball room scene is radiantly beautiful. The con- edy of the production is we'll taken care of by Messrs Robert Whyte, 2 famous English comedian, Arthur Woolley, and Barrie Maxwell This trio sings song entitled q Want to Be Simpler" which has proven one of the most irresistibly funny situa- tions ever presented. Throughout the production the same care and atten- t on to details that characterized the London and New York presentations will be observed, and the loial theater patrons will beyond doubt witness one Of the most pleasing entertainments of the year.

In "The Woman in the Case,
 which Managers Waaenhals and Kemper will present at the Elks the ater Tuesday. January 9. the famous author. MT. Clyde Fitch. has demon strated according tn the New York critics that his powers are growing greater every year If handled along the customary lines. the absorbing story of "The Woman in the Case" would prove to be nothing but lurid
 melodrama. The biggest scene of the. play occurs in what the papers of New York frequently allude to as the famous third act. In this scene Mir. Fitch wisely ignores tradition with

the result that the audience gets a ouivering sample of actual life, made the more effective by its very truth fitness. The play supplies Miss Mar earet Bennett, the leading lady of the company, with magnificent opportuni- ties. as also for the other talented players engaged by Messrs. Wagen- hals and Kemper. The triumph achieved by "The Woman in the Case" in New York. where it enjoyed a run of four months at the Herald Square theater, VII ensure large and expectant audiences here and else where.

"Captain Debonnaire" With Paul

Gilmore.
 A cavalier of France, who finds ad- venture and vie in America, is the hero of Paul Gilmore's new, stirring spectacular comedy romance, Cap tain Debonnaire," which will have it,. first presentation in this city at the Elks theater tonight. Such a role is eminently suited to MT. Gilmore's per sonality and methods, and is in line with his great early successes, Gfl dc Buralt in Under the Red Robe,' and D'Artagan in 1The Three Musket- eers," the plays in which he stamped himself as the successor to the late Alexander Salvini. Captain Debon. raire" has charm not possessed by either of these older plays. It comes from placing the French gallant in American surroundings. The first and last acts are laid in Quebec and the second and third in New York. The tune is the end of the seventeenth CCHlul y~et ptI lOu rev N0llluS III TO- nance. The play naturally demands elaborate costuming and scenery, both of which have been supplied lnagnificently by Manager Jules Mur- ry. Never before has this young star had production so worthy of his talents. The five scenes present gor- geous pictures and the costumes are glowing reminders of the prodigality Of that day. The cast also is on an unusually large scale In Mr. Gil more's recent successes, the society plays, ''The Mummy and the Hum. ming Bird'' and "The Tyranny of Fears only small companies were required, but "Cantain Debennaira" demands biz and peculiarly capable combination.

A YEAR OF PROSPERITY.

The year lJU0 WILL De lueluOIdUl IS the most prosperous in the histor! of the United States. It will be re as the period of nigh tid' in commercial, industrial and agricu' .ural developments; as an era of un and universal good times The various elements that have con .ributed to this happy condition art thus summarized in Dun's annual re view of trade:
 In the history of the youngest, yet most virile of the great na- tions, the year 1905 stands out as one of most rapid progress and greatest success. It has become so customary to establish new records in tn country of appa- rently unbounded resources and opportunities that statistics of achievements occasion little com ment. Yet the past year has been so exceptionally prosperous that the attention of a busy peo- pie should be called 10 some of the most noteworthy accomplish ments. If over a million iinmi- grants were absorbed in a single year without elutting the labor market in any other nation sO- ciologists would ponder the prob lem with amaZement, but such an unheard of occurrence in the ment. So as to reports of foreign commerce and practically every measure of internal trade, to say nothing of agricultural production and transportation. The mileage of the railways has steadily in- creased and the issues of stocks and bonds are beyond precedent; yet the market value of the sixty most active securities has risen
 
 far above all previous records, the earnings are much greater than ever before and frequent complaints have been heard be- cause traffic facilities were inade- quate. Manufacturing plants have turned out quantities in ex- cess of any earlier year without causing accumulation. In fact, it was often the case that goods could not be delivered as specifi- ed, and in the iron and steel in- dustry orders will be carried over into 1906 equal to the entire an- nual production a few years ago. Prices of commodities, as shown by Dun's Index Number, have r!s- en to the highest position in twenty-two years. striking evi- dence of the consuming capacity of the people, for it is not possible to maintain the quotations of an unsurpassed production of the va riOus neceSsarips of life unless there is a commensurate broaden ing of demand. Failures are few CT in business and liabilities are at the minimum rat'o to solvent payments through the clearing houses, which have also reached a new hi2h-water mark. Faster than the growth of population has been the increase in the amount of money in circulation. the aver age now standinG at the hereto fore unequaled sum of S31.15 per capita, and the stock of gold in the federal treasury has eclipsed all previous records of this or any other nation at over $765,0 5,0OO,OOO. Nevertheless, commercial and other demands have so drawn upon the available supply of funds that rates for loans rose so high during December as to suggest the possibility of a pos sible serious stringency. This is another index that tells a story of national proseprity to the student of economies.

MILL TAX is REDUCED
SUM OF Se43,6sO, OR HALF, IS RE
MITTED.
Entire Levy Would Have Been Paid Out
of General Fund but for Re-
building of Capitol.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 22.-[ Special
For the first time in history, in addi-
ton to the state tax being remitted this
morning one half of the so-calied mill
FAX, amounting to $Gi3,GS0 was also
Permitted and will be paid out of the
General fund.
This mill tax is one collected by the
state from the different counties which
IS returned for school purposes. Then
the local levy this year will be lightened.
Had not the state been building a new
capitol. the entire mill tax, over $1,000
600, would have been RENTED. 1t would
have been possible to have RENTED the
entire tax and still retain enough money
IN the general fund to have supplied
the amount appropriated for the west
wing Of the capitol. but it seemed to
have been the Judgment of the com
mission To leave Il sufficient amount in
the general fund for any contingency.
In 1908 for the first time the state tax
was RENTED. Taxes received that year
from railroads, insurance companies and
other public service corporations placed
sufficient amount of money in the gen
eral fund 50 that the tax of $9i2 $40 was
not levied.
In 1904 this was repeated.
In 1903 the state tax was RENTED
which amounted to 81, 1876. $50, The in.
crease over 1904 was due to the large
appropriation to the university and the
graded schools.

Several cars were on this track evidently

resulted and four ears were demolished
and the locomotive disabled. The eng-
neer declares he received orders that the

The claim is made, however, that the
accident was due to careleSsness and
there is considerable feeling among the
traIumen.

LET WOMEN VOTE, TOO.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, oct. 22.-State
Senator George Il. Iludnall Of Superior
in an address before the Northwestern
Wisconsin Teachers association on
relationship" urged the need of citizen
ship which would be as active in creating
public sentiment for the enforcement OF
law, as for the enactment of law.
The time may come in this state, as
it already has in some states he said,
when the state will grant complete citi-
zcnship to all; female as well as male.
| am of the opinion that at the present
time some of our female population could
and would vote rs intelligently as some
of the males And why should not the
right to vote be classified, if classified ut
all, according to intelligence, instead OF
sex? Is not intellect the controlling pow
er in business, the force that moves com
mcrcc. controls finance, and makes dis
coyeries in scienceI Why not put the
government on the same basis: This
question will present itself to the citl-
zens of this state for solution at some
future time.
