NEW RIDGEWAY THEATER.
Opening Night Set for December is
In "Babes in ToyIand."

The New Ridgeway Theater will open
on the night of December 16 with the
play of Babes in Toyland." This is an
event looked forward to with great in
terest by the people of Colfax. As the
construction of the new building has
progressed the hearts of our citizens
have swelled with pride as the capacity
and architectural beauty was gradually
unfolded. The front of the building is
finished with pebble dash, crowned in
mission architecture. The structure is
larger than the one destroyed by fire,
although the seating capacity is about
the same, there being more space be
tween seats. 1t is the stage, however,
where the most notable change is made,
the stage being several feet wider and
deeper than the old one, additional
dressing rooms are provided for, besides
other Improvements. The New Ridge
way, everything complete for the first
performance, will stand the stockholders
about $4,000, which seems reasonable
considering what has been done. The
scenery has arrived and the seats were
shipped from Chicago this week, and will
surely be in place by the 10th ult.
Bert Kuhn, who has been selected as
manager of our new playhouse, is able
at this writing to announce several
bookings OF plays, which are given as
sample Of what is to come. Mr.. Kuhn
has others in view, which will be given
to the public in due time. Theodore

William Lippitt Nominated for
the MayOraIty Office.
Only One Ticket in the Field Con-
test Choice Between Friends
and Neishbors, With No Scars
Left Behind Note Not Large

AT the city primary election Tuesday,
respectable vote was pOlled, quite in con
trast with the lstlessness manifested one
year ago, when only 50 votes were polled
for the highest candidate at the city
election. There were two candidates for
mayor, two for councilman at large, two
for city attorney and one each for city
clerk, city treasurer and a councilman
from the First, Second and Third wards.
They all belonged to the citizens ticket,
so there was no politics mixed up in it.
The contest, such as it was, was Of a
friendly nature, it being choice between
friends and neighbors more than any
thing else.
Following is the vote by wards for the
three offices of mayor, councilman at
large and city attorney, where there was
contest, the other offices being unani-

HENIEE SAYS BALL WILL
 STICK WITH NEW YORK
Centerfielder Tells of Ills Experience
 With Montgomery. .

-
 Local basebAli fans will be interested In reading the following interview that Noah Henline had In this weeks issue of The Sporting News. Henline was south last year but he had a big bat- ting slump August and September.
 Up to the middle of August he was hitting over 300, then came one or those clunips that have given him the reputation of an in and outer and he finisheds the season with a batting averaged of .278. He is very fast on the paths however. generally hits when hit is needed and is safe oqtfielder going to think long time over his ease. In The Sporting News he says:
 Noah Heniine, ball player during the season and photographer between headquarters since last fall. and he aEd his partner have enjoyed large pat ronage They will move on to Mem phis this month and stay in the Ten Henline played center-field for Mont gomery last year and will be with that team this season. YsA
 Griffith got the best infielder in our league." said Noah. 'I am not prepared to say that Ball will be, the HighlandeTs 1908 shortstop, but l am confident that if Elberfield is i'll or injured. the Montgomery boy will play the position so well that the kid will not be missed as much by Griffith as he has been when incapacitated in former years Ball made great strides last year and he had not yet reached his limit as fielder or batsman. If Niles is sent to the outfield. as one paper stated may be done. Elberfield and Ball would make great pair around the Highlanders' second sack.

 Ball has no superior in inside work. He batted ahead of me and never once missed the hit-and-run sign. and from the time that he reached first. until he completed the circuit or our side was retired. he was working himself forward.
 'Malarky is a good manager-and all of us liked him, but I understand the cluh's officials were not impressed with him as a disciplinarian. Jimmie Ryan will handle us in the next race. and 1 am confident, under his leadership, we will land in the first division. He has secured some new players and it may trusty hat of his.

 Her Grace was at her wits ends. Too clever not to have noticed the in- trigue to which the girls now made reference, she would sooner have died than owned that her Queen was act ing wrongfully or even pettily.
 However, for the moment, she was spared the further discussion of this unpleasant topic, for a long, merry. girlish laugh was suddenly heard echo ing through the great chambers be- yond.
 'HushP' said the Duchess with reas- stunned severity. "'tis that misguided child herself. Now remember. ladies, not a word of all this. I must learn the truth about this scandal, and will set watch tonight. But not a word to her"
 The next moment the subject of all this animated conversation threw open the heavy oak door of the room. She came running in, with her fair hair flying in 8 dehciously mad tangle round her shoulders, her eyes dancing with glee, whilst above her head she was, with one small hand, flourishing small piece of paper. the obvious cause of this apparently u7controll- able fit of girlish merriment.
