THE CURSE OF DRINK. "

At Polls Saturday afternoon and evening will be presented Charles E. Blaney's brilliant and absorbingly interesting play, aThe Curse of Drink and it's intensely exciting railroad scene. A full sized engine is seen blowing its way through a blinding snow storm at the rate of forty miles an hour. Gradually the storm subsidies, the clouds break and clear away, and the rapidly flying landscape is seen bathed in moon- light. The engine dashes into tun- nel and as it emerges is seen rushing down upon the helpless girl lying upon the rails. The scene is hair raiser and is veritable trump of stage mechanism in the impression it gives of reality. Prices. matinee 15 and 20 cents; evening 25, 35 and 50 cents. Seats on sale. Tel 10S4.

VOTE TO EXTEND CALL
TO REV. EDWARD SHERROD

At largely attended parish meet
ing, held in the Sunday school room
of the church Monday night, 1t was
unanimously voted to extend call to
Rev Edward Sherrod of Arkansas
City, Kansas. to the rectorship of
Christ Episcopal congregation of this
city.
Rev. Sherrod is a young man, 81
years of age, and possesses in an I'M
usual degree all of the requisites for
successful ministry as pastor of the
congregation. He preached from the
pulpit of Christ church at both the
morning and afternoon sehvices last
Sunday and made an excellent i'm
preston on all who heard him.
While Rev. Sherrod has not yet in
dicated his acceptance of the call to
this city, it is believed he will do SO
as soon as he can consult the vestry
and congregation at Arkansas City
about the matter. The members of
Christ church have reason to felicitate
themselves upon the prospect of Sc
curing SO promising rector.
