COLLEGE WIDOW SCORES GREAT
 SUCCESS HERE
Large Audience Enjoys Pres entation of George Ade's Greatest Success From Start to Finish.

Carrying through 1t from stat to finish the real atmosphere of college life, and replete with wit and humor The College Widow" was presented to large audience at the Orpheum theatre last night and was great sue cess. The company presenting the show is made up of people of real ability and they did justice to the play.
 t'The College Widow" opens with a scene in front of the main building when the old students are returning from their summer vacations and the new freshman takes his first peep into the mysteries of college life. There are renewals of old acquaint- ances and incidentally Stub" Tal madge went home in June, having for. gotten CD to pay his board bill. A great foot ball player who is on his way to attend school at another insti. tuition stops off for visit and a scheme is set on foot to keep him where he is. The widow is entrusted with the duty wnich she takes up at once and at tends to so well that when her new subject wins the great game of the year by sensational run he is also captured.
 Throughout every scene there are incidents which carry a man back to the days when be thought the greatest thing on earth was to be selected for the all-American football team. The comical situations are brought out with great effect and all center on some incident, the original of which has been seen time and time again in college life.
 Miss Marguerite Snow as the widow was very clever, entering into the part with Zest and a gracefulness that made her truly captivating. Richard Taber in the words of Ade ''is all 57 varieties" when it comes to the busy undergraduate. When "stung" at va rious times for his forgotten @ boar bill he handles himself as if he were really used to the situation. Miss Dale as the chaperone "motnered the entire male flock with ease and grace, while Albert Trayernier as the dean of the faculty was duly intellec' tual. Miss Earle as the prominent waitress portrayed the part with fidel ity to life.
 The athletic girl, by Miss Weldon, could be placed on some college cam pus and pass without the slightest question. Robert Kelly not only look ed the part of the star half-back, but displayed real ability in tanning the widow.
 The play was thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish and will be re- membered as one of the brightest spots in the theatrical season.

MARcHioNEssNA AND
 HER LOVER suFFocATED

Rome, Jan. 2-The beautiful young Marchioness Gugliemetti, daughter of one of the wealthiest aristocrats in Rome. and her wooer, Signor Spal- letti. a rising young tenor, engaged by Conried to appear next season in New York, were found dead under mysterious circumstances early today in the conservatory adjoining the villa or the young woman's fatber, in the outskirts of the city.
 The tragedy was unquestionaDiy due to parental opposition to the couples courtshlp and to the jealousy of some member of the aged Mar auis' household.
 SpaIletti and his sweetheart had met clandestinely in the conservatory When found they were locked in from the outside All doors through which they might have left were securely fastened. rendering escape impossiDie without a commotion which must have alarmed the house. How they tied has not been def nitely determined One explanation offered is that finding discovery in eyitable, they poisoned themselves rather than face disgrace.
 The police incline to the theory ad vanced by several physicians that they were suffoeated in the closely shut conservatory by the intense fragrance of the magnolias, gardenias and tube roses with which the room was filled

Salt.

In connection with the name salt q
curious fact is TO be noted Salt was
formerly regarded as compound re-
sulting from the union Of hydr0chloric
tor, as it used 10 be called muri3tiCl
acid and soda. and hence the generic
term OF salt was applied TO all sub.
stances produced by the combination
Of base with an acid.

ed that during their action on each
other both the acid and the alllali an.
derWcnt decomposition and that, while
water is formed by the union of the
oxygen of the alkaIi ana the hydrogen
Of the acid, the sodium of the former
combines with the chlorine of the lat
ter TO form chloride Of sodium. and
this term is the scientific designation
Of salt. which. paradoXical as it may
seem, is not salt At one time near
ly the whole of the salt used as food
and for industrial purposes was OBJ
tanned from the sea. and in many coun-
tries where the climate Is dry and
warm and which have a convenient
teaboard a great quantity of salt is

NOT FOR IOWA.

Shedding crocodile tears because a
coterie of Iowa republicans denied to
this state the honor of vice presiden-
tial nomination, democrats imagine
they see an opportunity to secure
the selection of an Iowa man as Bry-
ans running mate. Hon. Jerry B. Sui
Ivan, of Des Moines, is being doomed
for the place and probably will be en-
dorsed by the state convention in Sioux
City today
The democrats are building their
hopes on false foundation. With
Bryan the nominee, an Iowa man
would bring no strength to the nation
al democratic ticket Sullivan would
not assure to his national ticket very
many votes in the Hawkeye state not
already assured to the Nebraskan.
There was logic in the argument OF
an Iowa man for second place on the
republican ticket. With the candidate
on the democratic ticket from the west.
+ u ~ 4
there is no argument why both nom
inees should he picked from the same
section. Iowa democrats may as well
save their ammunition. With the re-
publicans Of the state agreeing to a
truce during the coming campaign,
there will be small detection from the
ticket in November. If democrats OF
the strength of Jerry Sullivan or Judge
Wade had been put at the head Of the
state ticket their personalities assisted
by factional bitterness, might have
produced a condition to be reckoned
with. The democratic candidate for
vice president will be an eastern man.
Probably he will hail from New York.

TWO cEN1, FARES.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS JOuihdl.J 1f1
After trial Of one year, nine rail-
way companies in Missouri have APP
piled to Judge Mcpherson Of the fed
eral court for an injunction to re-
strain the state officers from enforcing
the two cent fare law. They allege
that it is confscatory.
In Iowa under the first year Of the
laws operation there has been an in
crease in the passenger and the total
revenue of every road except three,
bu. decrease in net earnings due to
ir ID operating expenses.
~ plrently no serious effort will be
made in Iowa to overthrow the law on
the ground that the rate is conf1sca-
tory. 1t would be necessary to show
the cost of the passenger traffic to the
company. The remainder of its total
expense Of operation would represent
the cost of the freight service. II too
large share Of the expense Of opera
ton were charged to the passenger
department for the purpose of making
out a case against the two cent fare
law, the freight rate might become the
next object of attack.
