METROPOLITAN
"Old Heidelberg"

He may not, as unvalued persons do,
Choose for himself, for on his choice de-
pends
The safety and health of the whole state.
Variations of this theme character
lie cold Heidelberg,' the great Mans
field success to be played this week by
the Ferris Stock company at the Metro
politan operahouse. To relieve the
pathos there is true love and much
whole-souled humor. The action and
spirit and local color are furnished by
the students and the German university
life at Heidelberg. and the whole is
well-rounded stage story of intense In
terest.
The play is a translation by George
Moorhead Of the old German master
piece Of the same name. 1t was first
produced in this country with pro
nounced success by Richard Mansfield
and has since enjoyed wide popularity
in the east. Its production here is the
result of many requests made to the
management, and under the direction
of Lewis S. Stone, who has taken part
in it several times, it should be one Of
the treats of the season. There has
been no stint of time, money Or effort
In preparing for it's presentation, and
with, Dick Ferris, Florence Stone, Lewis
Stone and others of the strong COM
pany in the cast an artistic interpre-
tation is assured.
The story revolves about the life and
development of Earl Heinrich, crown
prince of Harrisburg, German princi-
pality. In the first act he is youth
nearing manhood. but with personal
ity dwarfed by his narrow on utlook on
life. So surrounded by court conven-
tionalities has the lad been that when
in the second act he goes with his tutor
to Heidelberg he is introduced to a new
world-a real. world with real men and
women.
The youth becomes man and in the
sunshine of his student life his spirit
bursts into bloom, he is enthused with
the student spirit and becomes a real
man among men. The scene Of the
third act is laid in Ruder IS inn, Heidel-
berg, typical German student resort.
The prince falls in love with Katie,
the barmaid, and their infatuation
makes one of the prettiest features OF
the play. =,
Then Karl 8 uncle dies and in the
fourth act he is taken back to the pal.
ace and surrounded by the pomp and
ceremony he has learned to loathe. In
the last act he returns to Heidelberg
his rank becomes known and he is
greeted as sire instead Of as comrade
He appeals to his old friends in vain
The beautiful freedom is lost to him
forever and he sadly declares that com
radeship is not for kings. ID. e.,

Biiou-

On Sunday afternoon, Aug. 12, the
Bijou opera house will open, after be-
ing closed for two months, and the
many loyal patrons of this playhouse
will undoubtedly strongly welcome it's
return to the active theatrical field.
During the summer interim, the. usual
cleaning and renoyating has taken place
redecorated last summer, it did not
need very much work to make it bright
and clean as new. For the opening
week Manager Hays announces the en-
gagement Of that excellent dramatic
organization, the George Fawcett COM
pany. Mr.. Fawcett s. players have been
holding forth atsthe Grand opera house,
st. Paul, the present summer, and have
recorded one of the most successful
stock company to enjoy In the twin
cities. Mr.. Fawcett has long been rec
ognized as an expert. in the line Of
stock company direction, and he has
gathered together collection Of play
ers of strong individual merit, whose
ensemble work is excellently artistic.
Opening, as it will, on G.. A. r. week,
it was, Of course, to be expected that
the Bijou IS offering would be. something
ing the piece for that week it must be
confessed that Mr.. Fawcett made a
good selection in choosing Franklin
Fyles' most interesting martial story,
''The Girl I Left Behind Me-, This
play affords a double interest for the
average theatergoer, providing as it
does an exposition Of soldier life in
the west and also some thrilling scenes
in which the American Indian figures
in an important way. The Indian has
ever been an attractive parsonage in a
stage production, and the authors Of
this play have evolved some decidedly
thrilling situations, in which the In
dams play an important part. Quite
departure is announced for the Biiou
this season in material change of
prices for several Of the performances.
The Sunday matinees, which have here
tofore been presented at evening prices,
will now be given at the weekly mat
inee scale Of admissions. And the We'd

PRIZE WINNERS

candidates. The excitement and interest during the closing hours was intense. The Log Cabin Dem ocrat office was crowded with par tisans and representatives of the different contestants.
 On Tuesday afternoon the race for the first prize, a S35O piano, narrowed down to a contest be- tween Miss Verdie Maddox of Con- way and Miss Jewell Snow of Vii lonia, and how close 1t was may be judged from the fact that with over I3o, ,ooo votes cast for the two con- testants, the piano was won by a margin of less than 6ooo. The names of all the prize winners and the report of the judges who count ed the votes will be found above.
 The contest has been a success in every particular. There were five prizes, so that every one of the contestants who made any special effort were successful. All have expressed themselves h ig ly pleased with the manner in which the contest was conducted through out. We are Ill receipt of cards of thanks from several of the success ful contestants, but, on account of the limited space at hand after the close of the contest, we are forced to postpone publishing these until our next issue.
 For The Log Cabin Democrat the contest has been worth great deal. While 1t has been financially successful, the principal advantage to us is in the great number of new names which have been added to our lists, as a result of work done in the interest of the contestants. Our circulation IS materially in creased, and our advertising col umns are consequently the more valuable to those who use them. And we are going to try to make the paper so good that all of our new readers will, after a years ac- quaintance, decide that they can not do without The Log Cabin Democrat.

ters was released from jail.
 Winters, as was stated in this paper last week, was arrested on warrant issued by Coroner J. H. Pence. charging him with the killing of Charles Carnahan. Sam Frauenthal and Bruce T. Bullion, the attorneys of Winters, sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and this issue came up for hearing Thurs day. The important features of the hearing were the testimony of Winters, who took the stand i'll his own behalf, and that Of Mrs. Carna- ham, the widow of the man who was killed. In his statement Win ters declared that the killing was done in self defense, claiming that he saw Carnahan raise his gun as if to fire before the fatal shot was fired by himself. He said the reason that he took his gun and went to where Carnahan was standing, was that he overheard the latter using insulting and abusive language toward Winters wife, ill regard to some cattle be- longing to Carnahan, which had broken into Winters field.
 Mrs. Carnahan testified that bad feeling had existed between tue dead man and Winters since last June, when she alleged that Winters had come to their home with a shot gun and pistol aud had abused and threatened Carna- han. She said that on the even- ing of the killing, Carnahan had taken his gun to kill some crows where were destroying his crop of peanuts.

Negro Accused of Killing Mat Childress Al
 lowed Bond in the Sum of $500.
 James Woodland, who was com mitted to jail last week by Coroner Pence as a result of the Coroner s investigation of the assassination of Mat Childress near Wooster on December oth, made application for bail before County Judge J. A. Lea on yesterday, through his at- torneys, Sam Frauenthal and G. w. Bruce, and by agreement of at torneys for the defendant and for the state, the bail of Woodland was fixed at $500. Up to this writing Woodland has not furnished bail, and is still in jail.
 No evidence was offered by eith- CT side at the hearing, and it is inn possible to state just what evidence will be produced against Woodland. The only testimony against him that has been produced so far Is the tes- timony of Childress' wife, who stated at the coroner's inquest that just before his death Childress told her that Jim Woodland killed him. It is claimed, however, that Dr. Pate, who attended Childress after he was shot, states that Childress told him that he did not know who shot him.
 Col. J. F. Sellers of Morrilton has been employed by the relatives of Childress to assist in the prosecu- tion and Col. Sellers was present at the hearing before Judge Lea yesterday.
