of course, is not and may never be
over and were informed by "Bul"
Barnes that he had leased the place
from Mrs Aldrich. who had gone
visiting. He said he had also bought al
her personal property. He had however,
no 1apers or anything of the kind to
show for them and as Mrs. Aldrich was
always careful and practical busl-
ness woman. suspicion was aroused.

than that she had gone with him to
Waitsburg and there at the office of f.
H. Ormsbee made out the papers which
gave him possession of the land and
property. Then he had put her on the
Walla Walla train. Upon inquiry it
was found that he had not been in At

conductor on the railroad said she had
never been on the train. Still furth II.

Further investigation revealed many
more things of an alarming character
The strong box. belonging to Mrs. Aid

battered, and broken open with an axe
and rif,ed of it's contents. Charreo re-
mains of a thimble and spectacies were

Guy Standing as Charley Steele pre-
sents Psychological study which
more completely displays his versatil
ity than any work he has before done
on the stage. The cynical, reckless
and furnished personality of Charley
Steele" is thrown into bold relief in a
series of encounters with the. judge
whom he fiouts, the wife whom he has
wronged, the murderer whom he has
saved, the lover whom he defies and
the drunken person and boyish repro
bate whom he has led to ruin. These
incidents of the story Of the first act
are shown in swift sequence and are
very effective. His work in this act is
in sharp contrast to his work in the
following three acts in which the re-
generation of Steele is shown.

"LittIe Johnny JONES'"

This city will have the opportunity
of witnessing last seasons most en-
phatic musical success, Little john
ny Jones" this notable attraction be-
ing booked for the Keylor Grand
theater, Tuesday, December Is. No
musical play presented last season en-
joyed such phenomenal prosperity, it
having played eight different engage
ments in New York city during the
season, covering period of six
months. 1t was also seen for two
weeks in Boston, four months in Chi
cago, four weeks in Philadelphia, and
all the other principal cities. Little
Johnny Jones' was written by George
M. Cohan, who also composed the
music and has personally staged the
present production. Probably no writer
of musical comedy has had SO many
distinct successes as Mr.. Cohan, For
ty-five Minutes From Broadway"
George Washington, Jr.," Running
for Office" and 1.-THE Governors Son."
which have attained great popularity,
being the work of his pen. Little
Johnny Jones' is conceded the best
work that Mr.. Cohan has yet offered
the public. 1t has a pretty and inter-
estfng story concerning the adventures
of an American jockey who goes to
England to win fame and fortune on
the English turf.

"Babes In Toyiand."

The enormous vogue attained by Vic
tor Herbert and Glen MacDonough's
phenomenally successful musical ex-
travaganza, BABES In Toyland"
which is to be- given at the Keylor
Grand theater, Thursday, Dec. II, is
due to the same vital elements that
gave lasting popularity to the Gil
bert and Sullivan operas. Babes in
Toyland' like the "Mikado.' was writ
ten, composed and produced without
the hampered limitations which en-
compass and cucumber the modern
so-called comic opera, which is really
little more than mere made meas
ure make-shift, "cut to fit" the per
sonality' or limited ability Of some
one particular star"
There is no star part in Toyland.

duction. In the superb cast of 20 prin-

"CharIey's Aunt"

For the first time in the history of
the high school class plays, the per-
formance will be given tonight in the
Keylor Grand opera house. The play
this year was so much more enthu-
slastically taken up by the students
and the work went ahead in such great
shape, that Miss Armstrong. who has
peen training the cast, felt justified
in making the venture AS result
of the first days sale, nearly all the
lower floor has been sold out all
though some good seats still remain
The sale is one of the heaviest of
the season.
The last dress rehearsal, held Sai'
urday night, went off in better stvle
than any of the former ones and
showed conclusively that the per
Iormance tonight will be out of the
usual class of amateur exhibitions
The youngsters are very clever and
take a great interest in their work.
Careful training has made good actors

lYoung has a very deceptive change OF
pitching pacel

ning and hits everything he offers to
all ends Of the ball park
This lis particularly noticeable with
clubs like Boston, composed of young
sters. and Detroit, which won pen,
nant last season by slambang style
at bat and on the bases. When things
commence TO come the Tigers way
each man Is ready with bat to hurry
to the plate and whale away ut any
thing. Often this rapid fire business
gets the pitcher going and allows De-
troit to finish ahead. Bin baltimore
I'm the first game he worked at Detroit

"ff a pitcher can slow up and go at

feeling as though you didn't own Il

with few hits, while at other times
you step UP full Of confidence and are
