What is said to be one of the most
dramatic and powerful effects ever
achieved upon the stage is effected
in the third act of THE Bondman, -
the new play by Hall Caine, in which
Mr.. Wilton Lackaye is to be seen

This is the famous incident in Hall

to-ankle and compelled to go
through the dangerous task of open
ing new sulphur pit. The opening
is followed by an explosion of gases,
Michael is blinded, their fellow-pris-
oners are released to make their pos
sible escape from an eruption of the
volcano precipitated by the explos-
ion. but Jason remains to rescue the
helpless man he hates.

STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN

You cannot always sometimes tell
what will happen. For instance, here
is story of an Oklahoma man who
determined to commit suicide: He went
to the store and bought a rope, can
of oil, box of matches, dose of ar
senic and revolver. He went to the
river, pushed his boat out from the
shore and padded down to where a
limb hung over, then got up in the
bow of the boat and tied one end of the
rope to the limb and the other about
his neck, took dose of arsenic, sat-
urated his clothing with oil and set
them on fire, put the muzzle of the re-
volyer against his temple and pulled
the trigger. But the bullet glanced
and cut the rope above him and he fell
kerwallop into the river. The water
put out the fire, and he got strangled
and coughed up the arsenic. The water
was not deep enough to drown him,
so he waded out and declared himself
candidate for Office on the populist
ticket.

BLOODY TRAGEDY

Stuttgart, June One of the most
atrocious murders ever committed in
this county took place this morning
near Crooked bayou on a plantation
known as the Craig place. Ben Oliver
shot and killed his sister, Mrs. STAN
ley, who was setting out sweet potato
plants in the garden. He then went
into the house and shot Stanley, who
was in bed sick. Oliver left, but as
he climbed over fence 100 yards from
the house, his gun was discharged,
making a fearful wound. He was
picked up and brought to Stuttgart.
His wounds were dressed and he was
turned over to the sheriff, who took
him to the county seat at De Witt.
The only reason that Oliver could
give for his crime was that his sister
had been wronged. He begged those
attending him here to cut his throat.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS

The business interests of the country
are much more concerned about the
return of prosperity than they are
about the men who are to lead in the
presidential sweepstake. We can stand
most anything in politics that does
not interfere with business. The hum
of machinery sounds sweeter to the
average business man than the music
of the political orator, and really there
Is more in it. -Parogould Soliphone.
