There has been no let-up in the bet

lines of trade and industry.
Retail interests report a big increase

Mr.. King, who was the first to repre-
sent the steel industry, said In reply
10 Mr.. Underwood, that the total pro-
duction Of steel in the United States
was between five and one-half and six
million tons ia 1907, and that the total
importation only amounted TO 10000 tons.
He admitted that the present tarif
was practically prohibitive at times, but
said that If ii was not maintained for
eigners would dump their steel here at
a less price than il was sold for abroad
and injure the American manufacturer.

COMING ATTRACTIONS AT THE
AUDITORIUM.

Marrying Mary" with Florence
Gear in the title role, was presented
at the Lyceum Theater yesterday af-
ternoon and last night.
The musical comedy is not new
here. II was presented first with Ma
RE Cahilli in the same attractive role.
Miss Gear was most acceptable. how
ever and her supporting company
was ample in every respect, and re-
sponded to all of the requirements of
the play.
There is peculiar personal quality
about Florence Gear which impresses
itself upon the audience. There is
an odd note in her voice, quite fetch
ing; there is a certain piquancy in
her personality and a certain whole
someness in what she does that also
appeals TO the audience. Miss Gear
has not been long on the stage. but
since her appearance here a year ago
there is marked Improvement in her
work. Yesterday afternoon and last
night this Improvement was noted.

could not be well judged, but her in
cessant vivacity was never in doubt.
This season Jules Murray has sur
rounded his star with an excellent
company. 1t is a company well bal
anced and well costumed. The vocal
numbers were numerously encored
and the supporting members seemed
TO enjoy the success of their efforts.
Of great interest to Memphis people
was the appearance of Theodore
Stearns as musical director For three
years Mr.. Stearns was a resident of
this city, and is well known to all
musical people who have resided here
for any length of time. He was con-

LAST PLAY ON RACE QUESTION.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., Will Write No
More Southern Plays After
1.-THE Traitor"

Now that Thomas Dixon, Jr.. has
completed the trilogy of the Recon
struction period that began with THE
Leopard's Spots" was continued with
The Clansman," and reached it's eli
max in The Traitor he will write
no more novels or plays of the South
In the future his attention will be
given to the wonderful growth of so
cialism.
For many years Thomas Dixon. Jr.,
has attracted the attention of the
whole world by the powerful pictures
that he has drawn of life and condi-
tons in the South during the period
of Reconstruction. No writer for the
stage has ever aroused so much dis
cussion and today it is generally rec
ognized that The Clansman" is the
classic of the South. Inasmuch as
The Traitor" is the dramatic sequel
of that unprecedently popular play,
dealing with the same theme and
telling the romantic story of the last
days of the picturesque Ku Klux Khan
ii is only natural to reckon that the
new play will be as long-lived and as
popular as its predecessor. More
over The Traitor" is a far stronger
play dramatically speaking, and It
does not depend upon it's subject mat

know that this is Mr.. Dixon's last
word on the problems of the South.
His aim has been from the first to
acquaint the people of the whole coun-
" with what the Southern people
have to solve, and above all to show
that the brains and chivalry of the
South can and will find a satisfactory
solution to all their problems. Mr..

Santa Claus is not rich this year, but
he always has something nice for good

platform was taken to task for accus-
ing q republican legislature of extrav-
agent appropriations, nearly ali of
which the present democratic nop,inee
for congress, r. e. Dowdell, voted for.
In last weeks Letcher Blade, Roy
DOwdell comes to the rescue of his
father In good shape. ''Mr. Dowdell
should feel highly grateful" says
DOwdell junior, s'to the originator OF
the article and also to the boys who
have 50 kindly republished the same
throughout the state. 1t is a good
argument for Mr.. Dowdell, candidate
Tor congressman, and it would be vel
Tor ali democratic sheets to spread i

true, as admitted by the original arti-
Gle, but II is pretty hard rap on th'

A Serious Shooting Accident

Several families were picnicing last
! Sunday on the Sioux river near Grill S
mill. Jay Willmarth was on the bridge
above the dam and e j. Johnson Just
below, on the bank of the river, fish,
ing. Suddenly Jay felt something strike
him in the shoulder as if some one had
thrown clod Of dirt at him. His
! father, who was close by, soon discover
ed blood on his shirt and that he had
been shot. Just a moment later Mr..
johnson was struck by a shot in
the right breast He rose, staggered
and fe l. He at once became uncon-
scious and that he was seriously iniur-
ed was self evident.
Jay Willmarth was not seriously hurt
DIR. Burlingame, who was called, found
the ball had struck the shoulderblade,
glanced upward, passed over the shoulder
and lodged in front near the collar bone
The next morning he had no difficulty
IN extracting a 22-caliber ball. Mr.
johnson was with difficulty taken home.
DIR. Bushnell of Westtield, Dr. Hawes
DR.. Ellis and DR.. Knott of Sioux CITY.
all have attended him and all think now
that he will recover if nothing new sets
in The ball, it is thought, passed
through the lungs and near the heart
and is now lodged somewhere in the tho
raclc cavity on the other side of the body.
No attempt has been made to remove
the ball and none will be made unless
1T should trouble him some time in the
future, which is improbable.
Who fred the shots? Probably some
one in the party, though this is by no
means certain. There were three 22-
caliber rifles in the company. One at
this time was on the bridge with Jay
Wlllmarth, one was leaning against
tree below the bridge and the third is
more difficult to account for. There is
no thought of any criminal intent; only
criminal carelessness or criminal fool
ishness. There seems to be notion
abroad that 22-caliber rifle will do no
harm at IL or l5 rods distance or more.
On Tuesday party of three visited the
scene OF the accident and found that the
rifle would silly penetrate an inch board
at the distance from which the shots
must have been fred No arrests have
been made and no complaints entered,
and none probably will be until the re-
suit of Mr.. Johnson's wound is positive
ly known. Strong hopes are now enter
tanned that he will recover.
