"Card King Of the Coast" Opens to
 Rig House.

The Card King of the Coast" was greeted by a full and enthusiastic house last night. It Ia play of the Klondlke where every man Is his own lawper and the local statutes are car tridges. They were used freely and with the desired effect.
 The play opens In Washington in the home of Senator Vaughn. Senatr vaughn's daughter. Miriam is about to he married to Senator Preston. Sena- tor Preston is half brother to Truxton Boone. tho "card king" B,it Truxton is a black sheep and hasn't appeared for many years. He appears just in time for the wedding.
 But Preston isn't the only one who Is in love with Miriam. Perry McGraw is infatuated. but as he Is a morphine fend Truxton apparently hasn't very hard row to hoe after McGraw has murdered Preston. McGraw does kill Preston and writes note in Preston's hand that Miriam killed him. Both Mi- riam and McGraw flee.
 McGraw goes to the Klondike and changes his name to Jim Caruthe. Of course the Card King" appears. Car uthe has imported some ladies for his dance hall. As luck would have 1t, Miriam appears under the name of Mary Ross Caruthe Is in his element. especially when Miriam fails to recog- nize him. He says it has cost him five hundred dollars to get her there pn,u rbn tc bic slave
 But Truxton advances her money and she repays him the amount it has cost him. But Ann Blake, who has appear cd before. and who loves Truxton now appears in an attempt to thwart Trux- ton in his love for Miriam. But even she never suspects that Mary Ross is Mary Vaughn. Caruthe only knows her identity.
 But Truxtons faith is unshaken un- til Miriam tells her true name and then he doubts her, for Preston was his half brother. But q photograph record comes to the rescue. The record was started just before the murder, by chance by a servant Tn 1t Preston cries out the name of his true mur- derer. Caruthe or McGraw is immedl- 1 ately strung up--the punishment of the guilty.

WHITING NEWS
Schools Get Interesting Gift.

]. Roy Morrison was the recipient
of quantity of rice showing the vari>
Gus stages through which the product
passed before it is ready to become the
chief food, as it is for one-half the peo-
pie of the world.
The gift was received from E. Da-
bozal. Jr., of Rayne, La, one of the
most wealthy rice men in that country
and an intimate friend of Mr.. Nor
rison's.
Realizing that this would prove I'M
teresting as well as beneficial to many
persons Mr.. Morrison has given large
portion of it to the public school, where
it will be place on exhibition about
next Thursday.
The rice plant when growing looks
very much like wheat or any other
cereal, but instead of having a COM
pact ear bears a head composed of
number of fine branches or stalks,
each of which bears out grains. These
stalks are easily detached and are
covered with brown husk. After the
husks have been removed the white
grains then set free are called rice.
The Whiting public library was also
remembered, being given two of these
rice stalks, which will also be placed
on exhibition early next week.
The rice cultivation in Louisiana is
only of recent date Instead of hav-
ing to reap the rice laboriously by
hand, up-to-date reaping and binding
machines drawn by mules are en-
ployed with an enormous reduction in
cost. In 1904 this region and Texas
produced 21,000,o00 bushels of rice
Modern steam threshing machines are
used and every detail of the industry
carried out under as good conditions
so that rice can now be grown in Lou
isiana at a cost actually less than ir
China.
| The rice growing is a very interest
ing study, and the exhibit will nc
doubt be attended by a large number
of people.
