Michael Strogoff.

Without doubt, the largest pro-
duction ever given in Grangeville
will be that of Michael Strogoff
which will be the offering Aug. 81
at the Armory, at which time the
theatre goers will be given the OPP
portunity of seeing Russian life as
it really is in war times. The big
production will be under the per-
sonal direction of Mr.. L. 81.
Mitchell, whose reputation as a
director is the best among the
theatrical profession. New scenery
will be painted for the battle scene
at Kolooan station and the palace
of the Gar at Moscow and the fire
at Agairia.
Thirty people will be in the cast
including such well known players
as Miss Mona Jean Nickel, Mrs.
Walter Bunnell and Miss Lulu
Nickel, Mr.. S. M. Curtiss, Walter
Bunnell, Harold Harris, Clyde
Nickel and many others. Mr..
Mitchell will be seen in the title
role, which is the heaviest part
ever played in this city. Among
the principal scenes will be the
fete at the Cars palace. The
funny scene at the relay house in
which males and horses will be
used, the great battle scene at
Koloovan, the Imir's camp and
the cruel binding of Strogoff with
a red hot sword. The river of
Agaria, carrying on it's surface a
sheet OF flame from burning oil is
one of the scenes. The Co.'S
tunes of this great play will all
be shipped from a costumer, and
the pictures will be most pleasing.
Many specialties will be introduced
in the fete scene, and no expense
will be spared to make this the
grandest production ever presented
by Mr.. Mitchell. The scenes are
80 arranged that there are no waits
between the acts. The perform
ance will be continuous from the
first curtain. Prof. HI. V. Riggs
and his peerless orchestra will
furnish the music for the play, and
it will be well to secure seats early
as there will be a packed house
such as was in attendance at the
production of 'Damon & Pythias"
and the "Volunteer," but the pro-
duction will contain more novelties
and special features than either of
the former great plays. Seats are
on sale at the Post Office News
Stand.

East Lynne" a Success.

Last Friday night the Curtiss
dramatic class again pleasantly
entertained a large audience at the
Armory by the production Of east
Lynne" All present pronounce it
one Of the best performances ever
witnessed in Grangeville. All the
players performed their. parts ex-
ceedingly we'll. Miss Nickel
played the role Of leading lady in
very natural manner, and
proved herself an amature of extra
ordinary ability. Miss Lula
Nickel as "Miss Corney," gave q
decidedly finished portrayal Of an
old maid, and, together with
"Dill," evoked many outbursts Of
laughter. Harold Harris, who
played the part Of "Dill" at the
age of 'just turned sixty" made
a decided hit with his "funny fun
ny world" Miss 10 Graves, as
"Barbara Hare" made a very nice
appearance, with part that was
we'll adapted to her. Mr.. L. II.
Mitchell, rs "Archibald," and Mr..
Curtiss, as "Sir Francis Levison,"
performed their parts beyond
criticism. Mrs. Curtiss rendered
some very fine musical selections
during the evening.
The next performance at the
Armory will be "Michael Strogoff, !"
which will be given under the
direction of l.. II. Mitchell. The
most prominent amateurs of the
city will take part in this produc-
ton.

OF the investigating committee.
Mr.. KincannOn acted as an individ
ual In the transaction, whatever 1,
was. It is not known what cOmmiS
sion he received, nor does it appear
just now that it is anybody S business,
since he did not buy lands of the state
or sell lands belonging to the state.
Publications have been made OF the
matter, however, in Memphis and
New Orleans morning papers that arc
very likely TO result in some action
heing taken against those publica.
tionS, mere on account of the head
lines used than the insinuative SUBJ
ject matter, the inspiration OF the
latter not being difficult to trace.
Nr. Kincannon doesn't know exact
ly what the committee is trying to
charge him with, but whatever it is,
il any dishonesty or official mlscon-
duct is charged, he is ready prompt
ly to denounce it as false, his pur-
pose being plainly shown by the fol-
lowing card issued last night bearing
his signature:
