the ONCE OF the clerk OF the dintriot

county, the petition In equity OF Evprt
Tynseiing, plalntiH, claiming that he
n the unqualified owner Of The above
described property, that be aud his
grantors have had peacehble and an.
Interrupted possession OF said prop
erty for more than 10 years imet past.
That q mortgage dated October 3,
1868, on the property first above de-
scribed, given by Nicholas ten Bosch
and Elbarti bfs wife, to Fielding
Belts has not been released ofrecord.
That by warranty deed dated April
80, 1855, Mark and Sparlotta Ruther-
ford, conveyed the eL OF the neL and
the neL OF the sell, In section n,
township 70, range IL, Mahaska Coun-
ty, Iowa, TO James McCrea, that said
deed does not Ia any way stipulate
what relationship the grantors there
In bear to another. That plain
tiff believes that the defendants or
some Of them, make some claim to
all or part of the property, hereinbe-
fore described, adverse to plaintiff,
that the residence OF defendants and
their unknown heirs, and that of the
unknown and claimants of
said property Is unknown to plaintiff,
although he has diligently sought to
learn same. That whatever interest
you OF any Of you may have to said
property, is by reason OF the over
sight or negligence In not releasing
the mortgage above referred to, and
by failing TO stipu1ate the relationship
Of said Mark and 6parlotta Ruther-
ford, and by other minor errors.
Plaintiff therefore asks that a decree
may be entered against you, and all
Of you, confirming his title In and 70
said land, quoting title az against all
OF you, and ordering the satisfaction
OF same upon the records Of this coun-
ty, but asking no personal judgment
against any Of You for costs, unless
you appear and defend thereto. And

THEATRICAL OFFERINGS AND STAGE CHAT
Miss cJeffreys Lewis MOurns San Francisco.

The calamity which befel San Fran
playhouses, cafes and other places of
recollections dear TO members of the
dramatic profession, was a severe blow
to theater folk the world over, but 10
none more deeply than to Miss Jeffreys
Lewis. the well-known actress. who is
portraying the principal female charac-
ter roles so delightfully."- in the produc-
tions OF the Columbia Theater company.
Miss Lewis had just come to Wash
ington when the news of the destruc-
ton of the city of Frisco was received,
and the losses sustained there filed her
eyes with tears and her heart with sor-
row. Naturally so, because Miss Lewis.
although born in London, considers her
self an American and, above everything
else, is proud of being a Californian by
adoption Her father was Richard JET
freys Lewis, distinguished artist, who
was an associate OF the Royal Academy
of England She went on the stage
as a mere child, but even before her
debut she had a longing for the foot
lights and used to delight her parents
by dressing up as Lady Macbeth and
other ShalSespearean roles and acting
She parts in the parior. Her first real
season on the stage was spent at the
famous Theater Royal, at Edinburgh,
Scotland, which was then under the
management OF Mrs. Wyndham- While
there she played with such famous Eng
lish actors as Charles Matthews, James
L. O'Toole, and Horace Wigam. From
Edinburgh she went to the famous old
Lyceum in London for a season under
the management Of Colonel Bateman.
the man who afterward made Henry
Irving.
Eventually she came to America. and.
after spending some time in New York
stock companies. Miss Lewis decided -
make California her home and heSS-
quarters. She became the leading lady
of the stock company at the Baldwin
Theater, then under the management
of Tom Mcclure, one of the theatrical
factors of the Pacific coast. and James
OMEN was engaged as the leading
man. Lewis Morrison and Eleanor
Carey were engaged as the second IN

was David Belasco. who was then a
struggling playwright and stage man
ager In Frisco. While connected witc
the theater Belasco wrote La Belle
Russo for presentation by Miss Lewis
She made such a hit in this play she
was for some years afterward COM
PEELED TO include IL IN her list of emo
tional plays during her extended star
ring tours. Another famous production
In which Miss Lewis played the leading
part at the Baldwin Theater was that
of ''Forget-Me-Not.
While in San Francisco Miss Lewis
embarked successfully upon a career as
actress-manager and had a great deal
TO do with the development of the
stage In that part OF the country. She
was for a time her own manager Of
the little Standard Theater in Bush
street. Later she became manager Of
the California, and then took over the
sAlcazar. She took charge OF the latter
theater upon her return from a star
ring tour under the direction Of Messrs.
Williamson and Musgrove in Australia,
where she presented her entire roper
toIre OF French emotional plays
While living ~ California Miss Lewis
met Harry Main Hall. a weIl-known
actor. whom she afterwards married
and who starred with her for some
years IN La Belle Russo and most
Of her other plays. Miss Lewis hus-
band died I'm the West and was buried
at Los Angeles. After his death she
cared very little about starring ven
lures, and during the past five years

wing OF Charles Frohman. Her son.

bay from Frisco. Will try tho stage as

ing the early part OF the past season
in a small boys part in The Clans
man." in which his mother was seen
in New York. 1t was in this play that
Miss Lewis for the first time appeared
in a black-face dialect part-that OF a
negro mammy-which made hit wher-
ever she was seen. During the years
that have elapsed since she ceased star
ring she has also been seen with Stuart
Robson and Annie Russell and other
well known players. Mrs. Fiske was
anxious to engage her during the past
winter for the tour OF Madame ka-

vented acceptance OF the offer.

When he comes on the stage In a classic

MacLean COnfesses to a preference for
the classic drama. and in all his long
