THE THRBE@oF US"
Not an Overwhelming success--Ex
 tremeIy Well Staged.


 Heralded as big hit, 'The Three of US" presented before small audience at the Hyperion last evening, with Miss Carlotta Nillson as it star, did not prove an overwhelming success.
 s'The Three of Us" has the love of Rhy Macchesney for her brother and Stephen Townley as it's theme She and her two brothers own the Three of Us" mine, Townley tells Rhy of his discovery of a vein of gold which increases the value of a mine owned by Tweed Blk. Her brother Glenn hears of it and sells the Information to Louis Berresford who buys it from Blk be- fore Lorimer Trenholm, representative of an eastern syndicate, has chance to purchase it. Berresford extracts a promise from Rhy not to tell of his purchase. She goes to Berresford's $ | house at night to beg him to release her from the promise and Townley finds her there and renounces her. The fourth act gives a chance for Clem'' confession and happy ending to tht | entire affair.
 There are a number of places ir which there might be some effective acting, particularly in the third ant fourth acts. The nearest to the pos sible effectiveness of the various sit nations was reached in the last act The first act is very poor and the sec ond hardly better.
 Miss Nillson in the character O ''Ryhy Macchesney" was very disap pointing. The part presents great op portunities for emotional acting whicl the star hardly rose to. ..
 The play is extremely well staged creditable attention being given to de tails. It will be repeated this after 1 noon and evening.

ARREST TWO BOYS
Seen Going Down CelIarway and Held
 for Theft.

John Conway, aged seventeen, and Walter T. Willis were arrested last evening by Patrolmen McCrann and Hollinger on the charge of theft. The two boys were seen going down the cellarway at the side of A. A. Kel- logg's store at State and Elm streets early this morning. Willis, it is thought, was intent upon stealing from the gas meter in the store.

is STRANGE BUT
TRUE

Wise men change their views cn
public matters, some times, as per
sonal interest or other influences
may appear. Now there is our good
friend S. E. Beach who is so greatly
interested in the welfare of our
schools and appeals to the people
not to allow them to suffer for want
of few paltry dollars and does not
want dollars to be weighed against
intelligence and enlightenment, even
he at one time opposed the erectio n
of much needed school building in
Chanute.
In the early days of Chanute,
when the little town had no school
building whatever, during the ses-
of the legislature of 1871 an enabl
ing act was passed authorizing dis
trict 2, the Chanute district, to
issue bonds and erect a school
building. The election was duly
called and the bond proposition car
cied.
Our friend Beach, with others
brought an injuntion against the
county treasurer, restraining him
from collecting the taxes levied TO
pay interest on the bonds issued.
The case was fought through the
district court and appealed to the
supreme court. The injunction
was dissolved by the court and the
taxes were levied and collected and
the school house built. Then
house was badly needed for
the growing little city. but our
friend Beach though the bonds we're
to big or something and opposed
the measure with all his might,
Now he is quite willing to vote
$4,000 bonds thata s,s, 900 high
school may be erected tn the Jones
Grove. We are at q loss to knew
what wrought this great change in
our friends ideas OF economy.

FATAL WRECK

Last Saturday as fast Califor ia
tram, known the as Coaster was
speeding northward, on the Southern
paciilc, bearing large number of
New York Shriners on an excursion
trip, the train was wrecked and
number of the coaches smashed
like eggshells. Twenty-oAe people
were killed and probably as many
more hurt. A sad ending to an

MEXICOACCEPTS INTERVIEW WITH
PEACE BENT MURDOCH

The United States, as well as the
rest Of the American continent, VIII
rejoice at the adjustment which has
been reached between Mexico and
Guatemala. The precise terms of
the agreement are not known, but
peace will be welcome on any terms
which are likely to have been ar
ranged. As those countries adj
each other, there have been many
causes of friction in recent years.
And often these have threatened
war. A powerful element of the
Mexican people would like to see
war between the two countries, in
the hope that this would result in
annexation of Guatemala, which
would add 4S, 900 square miles of
territory to Mexico's 767, 900, and
contribute 1000, 900 of people as
an accession to Mexico's 14,ooo,-
900.
Guatemala has a bad name among
its four associates of Central Amer
ica, but all of them doubtless would
be sorry to see it absorbed by Mex
ico. That would give Mexico a
preponderance in that region which
might be dangerous to some of its
neighbors. Hondurss and Saliva
dor would then find themselves on
the Mexican border. In the past
few weeks Honduras and Saie ador
have fbeen beaten by Nicaragua, but
the eytirpatiou of Guatemala would
bring far more formidable power
than Nicaragua to their doors.
Dia1 could be good deal bigger
enemy for them than &ellya has
been, provided he should take that
rote at auy time.

some excuse for,sS;ing the people
to assueae the additional burden.
But is'it necessity? We admit we
need tCD or three grade rooWs, thei
the high school will be crowded, IN
eli probability bat not like some
would m axe it apPear. Additional
room can be made sn the Ptoneer
building by takingG grade OF two
out, There are now two good rooms
ir the old first ward buildrng that

very littk expense VIII put then In

pn9Nide the necessary room, posi-
biz for several years and additional
bo0ds mlgkt be avoided.
The proposition c!3a1ies with it
an element Of extrav2gance that
surely can not be justified, that of
teariqg down the old fourth ward
building. Tuuly it is not a thing of
very geeat artistic beauty and has
many short oO0ings as compared
with a n odern building, but could
be made to answer very @elI for a
few years TO .come.
1t is not the burning needs on this
district for new high school build
ing right nor thateause this ill ad-
VIsed action but the desire for pei
sonal benefit znd the gratlhcation Of
sectional pride. If the voters OF
the district calmly look this propos-
ition in the face and con ider the
cost and the ends to be gained and
remember that the past wear has
not been a very aourishing one for
Chanute and the current one prom
ises no better. With the city run-
ming behind and the gas rates being
raised so per cent and the expense
of living constantly increasing they
surely will vote against this unnec-
essarv piece of extravagance.

is 1T ADVISABLE

The school board Of Chanute,
through some course of reasoning,
was induced to make call for
bond election to vote bonds on this
district to the amount of S44,
A very small portion of this large
amount Of money is needed, say
possibly. FIVE or six thousand col
lars and the balance is pure luxury
aad personal qualification.
We believe in luxuries and embell
tshments as fast as we can afford
them and are always glad to see
efforts towards the beautfying and
embe ellishing our city just as fast as
the people feel that they can pay
for them, But, under our present
financial condition., we do not think
it wise to reach out too far lust
now.
This community is pretty badly

70 be getting in deeper all the time.

The Hyde grocery and Nj. L.

glarized Wednesday morning at
abour 8 or 4 o'clock. At Hyde's they
entered by breaking a glass in the
back door and secured half box OF
two for a quarter cigars and about 80
coppers. Papers on the desk were
overturned in an attempt to secure
something valuable. At the Moore
place they entered through a window
and secured ladies gold watch, one
new and two old revolyers, several
high grade pearl handled knives and
other articles, amounting in value TO
$40 or $50. The burglars then departed.
