The Holy City.

No play has ever won for itself so
much human love and so much of
true friendship from the whole pub
lie as Clarence Benefits 'The Holy
City" 1t takes hold of the heart of
the auditor at once. 1t bears that
magic spell of genius that makes it
real to an auditor. He at once for
gets that it is a play and is carried
away with it's realism. Having once
seen it, it ever after takes on sort
of personality. 1t becomes to us like
some person whom we have known
and loved. We remember it, not as a
play but as an old friend, and, on
its return, hasten to grasp it by the
hand and say: 'Welcome." 1t is the
only play that pleases everybody.
This is one true mark of real genius
in drama Another is that every
time you see it again, you find new
and beautiful things that you had
never seen in it before. This is one
of the few plays that will live to de-
light our. grandchildren and their
children after them. The Holy City
comes to Sheltons opera house Mon
day October 19.

Columbus, Neb., Oct. 15.-With-
out showing any signs of fatigue
from the ten hours spent In actual
talking and fifteen hours in railway
travel Tuesday, William Jennings
Bryan began his second days tour
of Nebraska by speech for the most
part to an appeal for the support Of
the congressional state and legisla-

At Schuyler he spoke for half an
hour Here he had large audience
and discussed the various issues of
what he termed the unfair attitude
OF President Roosevelt in taking
part in this campaign.
II had supposed he said, Il was
running against but one republican,
but it seems that | am pitted against
two. | resent his interference and
only ask him to keep his hands off
and let Mr.. Taft and me fight it out. :"
There was a large crowd assem-
bled at Columbus when Mr.. Bryan
arrived here. Here he made talk to
the farmers on the guaranty bank

UNKNOWN ROBBER
BURIED At SANTO
Was Killed by Shot Fired by
Member Of Sheriffs
HIS COMPANION ESCAPES
Bandits Who Terrorized Vicinity Had
Large Amount Of Jewelry in Their
Possession-Dead Man
Not Identified

Neatherford, Texas, Oct. 15.-The
man killed at the water tank, one
and one-half miles west of Santo at
9 O'Clock Tuesday night by a sher-
ifs posse, is still unidentified. The
body was removed to Santo and an
inquest held by Justice Herring His
verdict was that the man came to
his death from a pistol shot wound
fired by some member of the sher-
ifs posse, and that the officer was
charge of his duty.
The man killed was about 40
years of age. dark complexion, dark
brown eyes, brown mustache and
hair, slightly tinged with gray; in
clined to be bald-headed and was
about feet 8 inches in height
On his person We're found eight or
ten gold and silver watches, two doz-
ell pocket knives, several razors, a
number of pairs of scissors and two
dozen gold rings.
1t is believed that the other rob-
ber, who escaped, was struck by a
bullet for just as the volley was
fired, he stumbled and fell to his
knees. He soon recovered, however,
and ran into the heavy underbrush
and high weeds and was soon lost
from sight 1t is thought that he
boarded a stock train which passed
shortly after the fight, as a stock
man who was shipping cattle and
riding in the caboose saw a man
! make long run and board the train
! just after it had passed the water
tank. This man was put off the train
by a brakeman at BraZos.
Sheriff Peak of Palo Pinto county,
as well as the officers of this county,
are on the alert and it will hardly
be possible for the fellow to get out
of the country.
The man killed was buried at San
, to. Nothing was found on his person
by which he could be identified. He
was apparently a foreigner

increase in population continuing,
the state will be honeycombed with
railroads
The physical condition OF our
property, especially the condition of
the track to the south could not be
better. We have a good track, well
ballasted, so that our trains can
make good time with freight, and

KIDNAPPED BOY
RETURNS HOME
Captors Evidently Gave Up the
Hope Of Receiving a
Ransom.
WAS GIVEN UP AS DEAD
Parents Had Decided that Child Had
Been Murdered-Boy Unable to
Tell His Experience with
kidnapers.

Chicago Oct 15-After an alb
sence of nearly four weeks and given
up as dead by his parents, Giuseppe
Giunta, seven years old, was found
Tuesday by a policeman wandering
about the Grand Central depot He
was taken to a police station where
he was later claimed by his father,
Antonio Giunta retired grocer,
and taken home. The boy is so frigh-
tened that he is unable to give any
information as to where he has been
since he was kidnapped on September
10, from in front of his home where
he was playing with some compan-
ions.
The boys right wrist and two fin
gers of his right hand are badly
SCARED and it was thought the
marks were caused by thongs used
in binding him, but he told his mo-
ther that he had been burned,
whether by accident or by his cap
tors, he would not tell. A week af-
ter his disappearance the boys ia
ther received letter demanding
ransom of 10000. The money was
to be given to his best friend and
when it was delivered the boy was
to be returned. The letter was signed
i with three crosses. The writer inti-
mated that harm would befall the
boy if the money was not paid over.
/ The father sent for his brother,
Gus, who lives in Dubuque, Iowa,
and they have been trying to raise
| the money, but not meeting with
much success, they both gave up the
boy as dead. The police are inclined
to think the kidnapers concluded
they had little chance of getting a
ransom and returned the child
