BIG ATTRACTION BOOKED
FOR FRIDAY EVENING.

The many people on the stage during
the performance Of George AIDES nota.
BILE drama. THE County Chairman"
which comes here Friday. October Is.
do not merely form a background.
You will recognize the village smart
clerk, the old G. A. R. veteran, the fell
lows who hang around the depot, those
always In line In front Of the post
office and never get any mail, the old
est inhabitant, the village milliner who
is a flirt. the man who keeps the gen
eral store, the station agent. the noisy
fellow who is always talking about sub
jects that he only understands vague
ly, the tousled hair boy who has been
in swimming, the village orphan who
waits on the table in the boarding
house, and many others, some playing
leading parts, some having not a word
to say, but all are part OF the picture.
George AIDE has been able to write q
play like 1.-The County Chairman be-
cause he was brought up In a little
village of the west himself and knew
Just what he was talking about. THE
County Chairman" ran over 800 per
formances in New York and ITO per.
formances in Chicago, five weeks In
Boston and five weeks in Philadelphia,
and has been pronounced by the press
as the greatest American play of mod
ern times, and will be given here In the
same elaborate manner and excellent
cast.

rulers, and is thoroughly European in
his tastes and habits. He is an expert
linguist, a devotee Of music, a compos'

Senator Auguste Calvert, for fifteen
years a member of the French house,
and one OF the most noted politicians
of France, who is on a visit to this

representatives who have expressed
themselves concerning the bill for in.
crease of service pay. II there is any
objection to the s among The
members of the next congress it has
not been disclosed. The present pros

IMPERIAL MiNSTRELS
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT.

Great enthusiasm has been stirred
up over the forthcoming production of
the Elks' minstrels, which to
the Opera House next Monday. and
Tuesday nights. Rehearsals are going
with a vim and dash that augurs well
for the performances. Nothing that
brains or money can do is being over
looked to make this entertainment the
''one best bet" Of the season, and no
one should overlook it, or they will
miss the laughing show of their lives.
The directors declare that the talent
employed is better than the most. and
equal to the best, they have ever ham
died, and when 1t is known that these
gentlemen have been employed by diff
ferent Elk lodges for over five years
in this work, 1t can be definitely stat
ed that a great treat is in store for the
public. The demand for tickets is al
ready very gratifying, and when the
reserved sea sale is opened Friday
morning a great rush for choice reser-
vations is expected.

them in doing so. It is Inevitable that the national forests will at no very distant date become the main source of supply. The Service is bending its efforts towards placing itself in the best possible condi- ton to meet that demand when 1t arises and in the meanwhile Is making no eff fort to compete with private lumber deal CTS.
 Furnishing and regulating grazing facili- ties are among the most important of the functions of the Forest Service. Formerly the grazing grounds were free and open without restriction. As result they were ill-used and frequently rendered un- fit for long periods. Constant conflict prevailed between the sheep and the cat tie men, entailing loss of human life and great damage to property. The small herder had no recognized rights. He was driven from pillar to post and might retaliate only at the hazard of losing his stock, If not his life Under the present arrangement friction Is avoided and over grazing is prevented.

getting rubber. The raids were always accompanied with slaughterings of women and children who would persist in getting fin the way of the native soldiers and their French, German and Italian officers. These foreigners were merely mercenaries who were goaded on to greater excesses by increasing demands of rubber and yet more rubber from the territory assigned to each of the subordinate officers.
 Finally a direct uprising of the cruelty treated natives called the attention of Europe to the condition of affairs. and resulted in seriously shaking the throne of King Leopold and will ultimately re- suit In the Powers making some other disposition of this territory.
 Major LeMaire was French officer who was led into the service of the Congo Free State by promises of big pay. He did the work for several years but finally slckened of the job and resigned and re- turned to Belgium. He charges that hands and feet were always cut off of natives who failed to bring into the camp nearest his home village certain amount of rubber. No pay was ever given for the rubber It was called tax or i'm position. Hostages from villages, says Major LeMaire. were frequently taken and tied outside the station hut and If the people of that particular village did not within so many weeks bring In so many hundreds of pounds of rubber the innocent hostages were sliced into small bits or fed to wild animals.
 The exact amount of truth in the frightful charges made against the Congo Free Company Is of course difficult to de- teSmine. It Is certain however that in England and France a powerful move meDt is under way to throw King Leo pold and his servant, the Congo Free State Corporation- out of this territory. ;

Ms Congo Free State Tragedy.

The story of the Congo Free State is exercising Europe nowadays almost as ac- lively as did the slave issue the people of the United States before the Civil war. Whether or not the stories of the frightful atrocities charged against King Leopold of Belgium are true Is being con stantly debated in the national legislative bodies of France, Germany and England. The fact that concert of Europen pow CTS actually gave the Congo into the charge of the Belgium kiug has stirred up the best thinking people In every country of Europe, now that it Is alleged that King Leopold misled the entire press Of Europe by q big and most expensively maintained press agency with headquar- ters In every country in Europe.
 It is now claimed that nearly every section of Africa Is showing Il tremen- dous Improvement in the conditions of the native negro races except the Congo Free State. In the Lagos country, In the Western Soudan region, in Northern NJ gera. and in the countries along the vast Niger River bend on the west coast 1t Is claimed that modern industry is bringing eiyilizing influences and plenty to eat and wear to the negroes.
 Major LeMaire who was at one time high up in the employ of the Congo Free State regime Is now publishing a diary of what he saw in the way of killing and crippIing natives. He resigned from the service of the Congo Company, of which King Leopold Is president, and declares he did So because he was unwilling to practise such unheard of and unprinsable crimes as the officials in the Congo are alleged in his diary to have committed.
 He claims that he was ordered to raid native negro villages in the interior of the Congo Free State and to take prison CTS for the purpose of working them In

is one of the most impelling consldera- tlons In our forest policy. Few persons have no adequate conception of 1t and it Is carefully avoided in the sophistical dis cussions of the opponents of that policy, who view with dismay the setting apart of public lands for the use of the people.
 Down the mountain slopes that lie within the Forest reserves run many streams upon whose flow towns depend for their water supply, factories for their power and settlers for the irrigation without which their lands would be un- tenable. Let these slopes be deforested and their melted snows and rainfalls would be dissipated or run off rapidly through over-charged channels. The Geo logical Survey has made comparative measurements of stream discharge from forested and unforested basins, alike in all other respects. The results show, un- der the former condition, sudden floods followed by low water; under the latter, q relatively equalized flow. If the Adj rondaeks forests should be suddenly wiped out, half hundred large towns and cities

 The Museums in Pompeii and Naples show that beautiful statues were plenti- ful in Pompeli. they adorned the houses, the streets and the temples. The temple of Apollo was adorned with a statue of Apollo and Diana in bronze that sur mounted the arch. magnificent bust of Jupiter was taken from the temple dedicated to that god. The most famous of the bronzes Is the Dancing Pawn found in the Streets of Nola and the SAtyr in the house of the Centenaire The Pawn represents the joy of life sus- tained by physical strength. The other shows a young Satyr pouring water from a beaker. Every line of the body shows ease and grace The same artistic touches were given to the bronze and silver dishes. vases and lamps. Some were shaped in the form of faces. others were decorated with richest embossing. The house of Pansa, the poet. is sufficiently
