has been awoy on a visit, though it is
felt certain that she will be here in

A meeting OF the teachers was held
yesterday afternoon in the Shively

Mr.. Clark, the city superintendent,
said last evening that an effort will
be made this year to enofrcc the com
pulsory attendance law, whoch pro-
vides that children between the ages
of 9 and ID years must attend school,
and between the ages of IA and 10
they must attend unless it be shown
that they are employed. That is, in
the latter case it is either work or go
to school, while in the former case,
between the ages Of 9 and IA, the
law simply requires that attendance is
compulsory.

The play deals chiefly with the for
tunes OF the heroine, young eastern
girl OF good bitrh and lineage, who
by the untimely death Of her mother
is left to the care and guidance of a
highly educated but drunken father,
who by the force of circumstances
has drifted out on the tide of destiny
into the mining regions OF the far
west This young girl possesses one
great Distinguishing virtue-flial love
and she bends all the energies of
her nature to the reclamation of her
father from his besetting vice, and
incidentally prospecting for gold to
retrieve the shattered fortunes Of the
family. 1t seems that her father, who
is practicing physician, has by some
means becime possessed OF mining
claim which was generally supposed
to be worthless but which in reality
was very valuable. This fact becomes
known to the villain of the play, who
takes advantage of the doctors drunk
enness to purchase his claim for
mere triAe. Just as this transaction
is completed the heroine, who has
been prospecting on the claim, dis
