 Jury in the Circuit Court.

Will Hazel, a negro, was acquitted of a perjury chalge i'll the Jefferson

 out only a short time. Hazel was
 indicted some months ago, it being
 alleged that he testified falsely when questioned regarding Frank Robert

Mrs. Temples Telegram.

By far the cleanest and most anus
 ing farce comedy presented in Amer ca in the past twenty years" was the comment of an eminent New York City critic, while leaving the Madison Square theater after just having wit messed a performance of Mrs. Tem- ple's Telegram" the now famous mirth-provoker which Manager Phil pot has secured as the attraction on Monday, November 16 for one per formance. It's great success in New York was duplicated all over the country last season and thi syear the brilliant farce Is in greater popular favor than ever before. Interpreted by James B. Delchers clever coterie of associate players, the domestic troubles of Mir. and Mrs. Jack Tenn pie, umwittingly increased by their we'll meaning friend Frank Fuller, are the means of distributing more clean, country than all of the comic weeklies and monthlies combined. The various roles in the play are portrayed in a manner as never before, in conse- quence of which, there is not one single point in the farce which fails to carry over the footlights, which fact probably accounts for the un- paralleled popularity now being en- loved by the associate players, for never before in the history of the American stage has a pure farce comedy attracted such large aadien~ ces as are in evidence at the theaters over the country when Mrs Temples Telegram is the attraction. From a social as well as other standpoints, all indications pont to the forthcoming engagement here as being a record breaking one for this city.
