| BEAUTIFUL SACRED DRAMA
The Holy City Presented to a Pack
ed House A Brilliant Production.

That the drama can be made the
medium Of portrayal Of a sacred
story and Of conveying religious
truth and that a play Of this kind can
be presented in way to draw the
keenest popular interest, was strong
ly evidenced BY the magnificent and
intensely interesting manner in which
@The Holy City" was placed before
theater-goers Of Chickasha last eve
ing and the hearty approval Of an
audience that packed the opera house
to its full capacity.
The theme, the splendid costumes
and the elaborate scenery and cleo
trical effects made production Of
more than ordinary merit. The BIZ
lical story is vividly pictured and the
characters are made very real. 1t is
play in which strong feelings pre-
dominate and if criticism be due to
the work of the dramatist, it is that he
has made it too strenuous on the whole
for little chance is given the audience
to regain the level between ciimaxes
The sacred story begins with the
appearance Of John the Baptist be-
fore Herod and ends with the Asccn-
sion. though the Christ does not ap,
pear except in the beautiful scenic
\ presentation Of the Ascension at tht
close. Extreem reverence marks tht
entire handling Of the story and th'
sympathies Of the audience are car
ried with the followers Of the Nazar
inc throughout the play.
Miss Morey, as aSalome7 the proud
daughter Of Herodias, sensuous in tn,
extreme, throws into the part all th'
emotional power with which she is s.
strongly gifted, and the cast, Will
weak in some points supports her ef
forts. Edgar Jones, as @Marias", i
an exceedingly strong character ant
\ w. A. Sherman in the dual role o
"John the Baptist and Judas" doe
Il them admirably. Z. E. Martel as "Cai
phus.7 the high priest, appears as al
actor of power.

of their heavy scenery On account 2

Mr.. FARMER MAKES CHARGES
Against Olhsn Members Of the Force
Donovan Explains bis Vote.

The city council was in special ses-
kion again yesterday afternoon to
dispose Of the Farmer case and after
considerable discussion again voted to
make no further investigation and to
suspend Mr.. Farmer from the police
force. Alerman Burton was the only
one who apposed the action, contss3e
ing till the last that the officer shoni1
have full investigation before the
couacil.
When the council assembled Burton
introduced a resolution which provid-
ed that Mr.. Farmer should have a
hearing at time TO be fixed, but his
motion to adopt it received no second.
Burton then asked that Mr.. Farmer
be given an opportunity TO speak
which was agreed to.
Mr. Farmer gave a somewhat ex-
tended presentation Of the case,
charging again that the whole trouble
was scheme OF other members of
the police force to put him out of
the race for chief Of police. He had
been on the force nearly four years
and this was the first time he had been
charged with any dereliction Of duty
He took up the instances in which il
was alleged that he had refused 70

DANGERS OF A COLD AND HOW
 TO AVOID ThEH

More fatalities have their origin in or result from a cold than from any other cause.

For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been recognized as the most prompt and effectuaI medicine in use for this disease. It acts on nature's plan, loosens the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. For sale by R. H.
