GOOD PLAY BILLED
"Lola From Berlin" will be
a Big Hit
Cast Is Headed by corinne Whose
Marvellous Success Has Been the
TalA of the Theatrical World.

No better company of players-for
play OF this kind-has ever been
sent from New York City by any man
agement than that when will be
seen here tonight in the dellghtfui
musical comedy, Lola from Berlin.
This play has been tried out in New
York City, in its five months run at
s.. 90 per seat before audiences OF the
best class and every player has the
stamp of metropolitan approval.
There are not q half dozen cheap
theatrical productions of this real
success. with snap organizations, tour
ing tile country to .'make hay while
the sun. shines" This is the first
season out of New York for 'I1ola
From Berlin" and the company APP
pcaring here tonight Is the only ore
on the road.
The cast Is headed by "C0RINNE"
who needs no introduction to the per-
son at all familiar with the theatric-
ais. Some of the Others are: Hazel
Carlton, Franklin Vail, Henry Carl
Lewis, Lille May White, Osborne
Clemson, Lillian Wilson, Freddie
Stott Pearl Revare and Bun
ME Ingelberg, together with an en-
semble force of beautiful girls.
Corinne made her first appearance
on the stage in the character of Lit
tie Buttercup in the children's pro-
duction "Pinafore." Her career has
been punctuatod with such success as
that of the Kimball Opera Comique
Company; '.F.Oradora" Rogers Broth

rear end of his car.
Sherman told the Marion voters
that there is but one important issue
In this campaign thetariff He de-
cried the Democratic prin siple of fee
trade or a tariff for revenue only. He
told the shopmen and the laboring
men present that they We're not in
terested in the injunction. He said
that 1t did not affect them. He slur-
ringly referred to the Democratic
slogan "'Shall the people Rule?" say
ing that II was but an empty saying
that reminded him of the old time
gag, "Where was Moses when the
light went out?' Moses" said he,
"was in the dark as every one
knows, and w. J. Bryan, our good
friend from Nebraska, will be where
Moses was after Nov. g." II was
Jim's way of trying to be funny, but
he failed TO get much OF a laugh.
Sherman next praised Bryan as a
private citizen, grew quite enthusias-
tic in the remarks about the Nebras
kan and then remarked that Bryan is
such nice man that his neighbors
should keep him at home TO enjoy
his society and not let him think Of
journeying to Washington. That IS
practically the sum and substance Of
what Sherman told the voters of Ma
rion county or at least about fifty OF
them, and 1t was with such an argu-
ment that he expects TO turn back
the ever increasing scramble to the
Bryan bandwagon.

Heinke, the American minister, there
occurred series of explosions. For
tunately, His Excellency escaped with

order and tranquility prevail in all

President Cabrera has in the last
year been the object of several sim
liar attacks, presumably on the part
of political enemies, from all of
which he has heretofore escaped UNI
hurt.
The most carefully planned Of these
attempts at assassination occurred
on April 30, 1907, when mine was
exploded close to the Chief Execu-
tive's carriage. General Orellana,
chief of star of the Guatemalan Ar
my, was killed by the explosion, as
were the horses attached to the pres
idential carriage.
Official investigation of that plot
revealed most carefully planned
and ingenious mine, by the explosion
of which it was expected by the con-
spirators President Cabrera would
ho blown IN niacns
Dynamite, it was discovered, had
been the agency of destruction en-
ployed, and it was said that the work
was that of a person thoroughly ex-
perienced in exploding mines.

4 DOUBLE TRAGEDY
IN GIRLS SCHOOL
Physician Shoots Daughter and Kills
Himself.

Asheville, N. c. Especially ~ En-
ragged at his 16-year-old daughter
Nellie, because of harmless school
girl prank, DR.. C. o. Swinney, who
recently came here from New York..
fired two shots at her, fatally wound
ing her, and then placing the muz-'
zle of the revolver in his mouth
pulled the trigger, dying almost In
stantly. Badly wounded as she was.
with two bullets imbedded in her
skull, Miss Swinney ran upstairs to
the principals room before she fell.
The tragedy occurred in the re-.
ception room of the Normal and Col
legiate Institute, a girls boarding
school, where Miss Swinney was a
pupil. Just what occurred prior to-
the shooting is not known. as there
were no witnesses, and the girl,
while still conscious, could give but
a vague account. DR.. Swinney, who
up to few years ago had been a.
prominent physician in New York.
City, has for sometime past been in
poor health, and Of late, it is al.
legged, his mind had been unbalanced.
Recently his daughter was one of
number of the schoolgirls who, as;
an April fool joke, absented them
selves from school, and the father
brooded over the little escapade until
it assumed, to him, the proportions;
of actual wrong-doing. When DR..
Swinney called on his daughter at
the school he was shown into the
reception room, and few minutes
later his daughter came down and
went into the room, closing the door
behind her. She sat down at the
piano, with her father beside her.
Half an hour later girls and teach
ers were startled by four shots, and
then Miss Swinney, with blood
streaming from her wounds, rushed
from the room. In few minuaes
the widest confusion reigned, but
Miss ALobinscn, the principal, restor-
ed order and summoned a physician.
There is little hope of Miss Swinney'S
recovery.
The room in which the tragedy oc-
cured showed signs of a struggle.
Chairs were overturned and the pi-
ano stool, with one leg broken, was
lying in the middle of the room. Dr.
Swinney was lying on the floor dead.
The attempted murder and suicide
we're evidently planned. as before
going to the school DR.. Swinney
bought revolver and cartridges at
a pawnshop.
Although it is said his mind has
been unbalanced for sometime, he
had never been violent and his fam
lily were unprepared for the dread
full tragedy. He was the father-in-
law of J. A. Sinclair, dentist of
this city, and since his arrival from
New York a few weeks ago DR.. Swim
ney had made his home with him.
