FINE PLAY IS PRESENTED
"The Man of the Hour"
Pleases Large Audience at
Towle's Opera House.

The Man of the Hour" a play por-
traying the workings of modern poll
tics, was presented at the Towle Opera
House, and from gallery to pit the audi
ence enjoyed the production. The play
was one of the best and the cleanest,
and one from which fine lesson could
be drawn The scene is supposed to be
placed in any modern city, but is really
drawn about New York at the time of
the election of Mayor Mcclellan. The
ward politician is cleverly drawn into
the play in a representation Of Big Tim
Sullivan. and DeverX, portrayed. by the
characters Harrigan and Phelan. There
is also the hnancier and the schemer,
while the cIear-cut character of the
mayor acts as an inspiration. The fem
mime roles, that of the financier's
niece, and sweetheart of the young
mayor the secretary of the mayor and
his mother, all add a sweet touch to
the plot.
The characters last night were ex-
tremely well taken except for an eff
fort on the part of several of the
younger members of the cast to over
do their characters. But all in all the
work was good, and Manager Towle is
to be congratulated on presenting such
attractions to his patrons. The cast:

aged last night in a collision on the
tracks of the West Pullman & South

were on the front platform OF the

two freight cars were derailed. The

what it will amount to at the present
time.
The wreckage was cleared away in

that McCrea has absconded spread to
such an alarming extent that Mr..
Knots thought best to take steps
toward gaining possession of the prop
erty According to the latter all of
the money, which went into the build
ings and stock, was advanced by him.
He saws he has asked McCrea for an
accounting several times and has been
repeatedly put off until the only con-
clusion he can arrive at is that he has
been victimized.
The attorney does not deny that he
took the missing papers from McCrea's
desk, but he justifes his action by the
explanation that everything in the store
belonged to him, as he had advanced
the money to pay for it and that the
place had evidently ben abandoned by
the erstwhile proprietor.
When asked whether he would swear
out a warrant Immediately for Nc
Crea's arrest, Mr.. Knots replied that If
the man had returned he would give
him one more chance to make a sat
isfactory settlement. If the settlement
was not forthcoming he would have
the warrant issued
1t is also declared by McCrea that
during his absence some one who had
gained entrance to the building, left
the door to his fat open and that
thieves entered and dismantled the
premises, stealing many things, in
Guiding the bedding and other house

the runs were practically the same in
February as the entire production of

only seven years ago. Until August,
1903, the monthly runs from the entire

same time the Prairie's runs in Feb

of that company. and remarkable In the
annals of oil. This shows the growth

three or four days until the company de-
