Fire May Conceal Murder.

About 2 80 Monday morning FIRE
was discovered in the big mercantile
establishment OF Marshall, Harrison

tanned such Roadway that nothing
could be done 10 check the flames.
which spread to adjacent property.
consuming the Iron Mountain depot.

and the Forest Brick Hotel. which
contained the Bank Of Morehouse.
The loss will aggregate SIS, 900

The origin OF the FIRE is unknown.
w. P. Holcomb, who slept in the
store. was incinerated in the build

he was killed by robbers. and that
the position Of his body indicates
this. The store, hotel and other

Ayers Elected Chairman.

The Fulton County Democratic
Committee met in Hickman. Mon
day afternoon, to select chairman
and secretary, The recent election
made some changes in the commit
tee, which is nov as follows;
East Fulton, Mack Roach.
West Fulton, DR.. J. M. Alexander.
Lodgeton, ]. w. Thomas.
Cayce, w. B. McGehee.
State Line, T. A. Prather, Jr.
East Hickman, Jno. 7. Dillon.
Old Hickman, c. G. Sohlenker.
West Hickman, A. S. Barkett.
Sassafrss Ridge, Coop Bradshaw.
Madrid Bend, J. c. Hawkins.
Chairman G. L. Carpenter called
the meeting to order. When Score.
tary Dillon called the roll three COM
mitteemen we're absent. Sassafras
Ridge was not represented. West
Fulton and Madrid Bend we're repre-
scented, by proxy-Mack Roach.
Election Of chairman being in or
der, Roach nominated Mott Ayers,
and Schlenker placed in nomination
the name of S. L. Dodds. Ayers
received FIVE OF the nine votes cast.
namely East and West Fulton,
Cayce, Lodgeton and Madrid Bend.
Dodds received the three Hickman
votes and enc from State Line. K.
S. Murphy. of Fulton, was elected
secretary by a like vote over Jno-
Dillon, the retiring secretary.
Comment on this proceeding is
hardly necessary. Folks acquaint-
ed with Fulton county politics will
form their own conclusions. We
know what to expect when the lion
and the lamb gambols together on
the green fields of harmony; when
the love feast is of the spider and fly
variety. But Rip Van Wrinkle pays
for his sleep by finding many changes
in the old political village; Aaron's
rod has changed slightly, too.
That little gauze mask of good fell
lowship doesn't conceal the caucus
profile. There are too many "jok-
ers" in the pack-lots of politics and
little Democracy.
If anyone deserves sympathy 1t is
the Hickmanite who is toting the
Ayers bod, expecting to get his pay
ga little later" Mott is taking
him on snipe hunt. Carrying wat
er for the elephant is paying dear
for admission.
In short, it looks like local Democ-
racy is on the wane. 1t is hard up
yea, it is getting on the b-m.

JACQUES
1.-THE JACQUES. ,

There are several candidates for the topmost place on the bill at Jacques this week and although MT and Mrs Jimmy Barry and company would perhaps receive the greatest number of votes if poll were taken they would just about sneak in winner-no landslide such as Rob- ertson will have over Lilley. The Barry trio Gin addition to Jimmie and Mrs Jimmie, there is Willie) are located this season at Hensfoot corner. There is no trolley cal whereabouts so the rolling stock scene which James and his better half have been giving for years is conspicuous by it's absence, but the dialogue of the new vehicle, if such 1t might be called, is snappy enough and Barry has ample opportunity to display his ability, describing his rube visit to New York Mrs Barry is trifle larger than her husband. He has song made up of songs with countless verses and last even- ing the audience much enjoyed it. James O. Barrows and John Lancas- ter, who never could agree because
 
 and the other for the south, have buried the hatchet and are now trav- cling in a sketch Like Father Like Son." It Is from the pen of Jean Pardee Clark, New Haven woman and is one of the most entertaining playlets that has been at Jacques in long time. It relates of the funny incidents growing out of a father and a son getting married to chorus girls on the same night and of the ludicrous attempts of one to keep the other from knowing that he has wed an airy fairy chorus girl from the theater where they grow. From seat, please thank you, next! It ia musical trio, Hughes by name, composed of two young women and blonde lady. They have musical act which Is very commendable. Smith and Heagney in their comedy sketch Writing Hit" the name Is just to fill out, get by easily enough. One plays the piano, pianist, and the other Is a vocalist. Rosina Cas- selli has a troupe of Chihuahua dogs from Mexico that give an excellent exhibition. Animal acts as rule should be eliminated from vaudeville but this number is all right. Go see 1t, you are sure to like it. Billy Van was almost canned yesterday afternoon but last night he had the audience In an uproar. Although his monologue >is not new, no 1t is not, 1t does not have to be when Billy can get the laughs with the old stuff. But, he would be many per cent better If he procured new line occasionally DeVelde and Zelda, artistic equilibrists. open the show. Their costumes are rather pert.

FRANK LALOR

Frank Lalor, the popular comed- ian so long identified with Coming Thro the Rye" has just made U rather sensational hit at the Park theater, Boston, in a new musical comedy called Prince Humbug." MT Labor enjoys extraordinary and thoroughly well-merited popularity in Waterbury and knowledge of his triumph will be received with delight by all who have witnessed his earlier success. It is rare indeed that such unanimity of favorable judgment Is expressed in the Boston papers, ana 1t may be taken as positive assur- ance that Prince Humbug" is an unusually attractive production. The piece is said to be not only im-' measureably funnier than Coming Thro' the Rye" but 1t is charming ly written, while the music is de- scribed as of a higher order of com position, and atlthe same time to be full of delightfully."- catchy" jingling melodies. The fact that MT Lalor's two weeks engagement at the Park theater is to be followed in the near future by booking which call. for an unlimited run in Boston is convincing of the great success which he has achieved there. He is coming to Poli's theater, Friday af- ternoon and night of this week with his big organization of 80 people. The sale of seats will begin Thursday morning.
