Biblical ma which is Ii TO- be-
shown at the Grand Theatre on
Wednesday Nov 4, are the terrace
of King Herod s palace the roof
Lot the palace with q view of the

The play is deliberately mounted

all these scenes that has never
been surpassed. Clarence Bennett,
the author Of the Holy City will
be with the company here in the
3partof Johh the Baptist.
How many Of our readers cans
tell us what the stripes on the bare
Der pole signify? You see the pole
with its stripes and you know there
lis a barber shop back Of the pole,
but here the knowledge Of the av-s
4erage person ceases. in the early
days BARRIERS did the bleeding for
the community and surgeons were
not as plentiful as now The first
thing thot necessary, way down
ito the time Of George Washington,
was that any patient should be-
sbled. Tap him, no mat how weak
he might be When Washington
was at the last gasp. the fools bled3
him. Well, the red stripes On al
barber pole mean the red ribbon
sbandages that BARRIERS bound over
the wounds caused by bleeding
people. That's all. When they
got thru with a plethoric man, Of
full habit and had tapped him like
a hard maple tree in February, he
was patched up and bandaged till
his arms legs and trunk looked
like much gartered leg. 8
Last Monday evening the Boston
| la Orchestra, assisted BY Mart King.
story teller. gave an excellent con-
cert at the Methodist church to a
crowded and appreciative house.
The orchestra is one Of the finest
we have ever had in the city, each
member being an artist in her es-
pecial instrument. The program
WAS we'll chosen, the lighter num-
bers Frightening up the heavier
ones, tho even the heavier ones
were such as to be appreciated BY
the entire dience. Lillian
Chandler, solo yiolinist, gave d
beautiful rendering of Wieniaw-
skis .Po lonaise Tin D major, which
was heartily received. ( She res.
ponded with two encores, both OF
which received abundant applause.
INF. King as a story teller was
great, and his work was enjoyed
to the limit. This is one Of the
best entertainment we have ever
had in the city, and the EpWorth
League is to be congratulated on
the success which it is evident has
attended their efforts in the first
number Of the course, judging from
the big audience and the splendid
appreciation. The course is one
Of the finest ever put on and merits
the continued support Of the peo-
pie.

.CAME FROM WEST
To END HIS LIFE.
BENJAMIN billiard of Evansville
Had Been Missing for Seven
Weeks
HAD BULLET HOLE IN HEAD.
Was In COmatosc Condition When
Found in Gravel Pit near Home
Legs and Feet FrOzen-DiSnp-
pcarrd from Som~rviIie,
Mass. December 10.

Barton Landing. Feb. AFTER an
agonized search OF seven weeks, the dis
appearance OF Benjamin Hllllard, an
Evansville man. was explained this
morning by the finding OF Iiillard in a
comatose condition in a gravel pit just
below Evansville. His feet and lower
limbs were frozen solid and bullet hole
in the head showed the manner Of his
attempted death.
The last communication received from
him was December IS, when he wrote his
wife from Ludlow. The next day he
went to Somerville. Mass, called on his
former employers, visited relatives and
then disappeared. The Boston papers
contained elaborate accounts of his dis
appearance and an extensive search was
made without avail as nothing more was
heard of him until this morning
on his person was found a receipt for
u gun, date at Arkansas City and bot
tie Of medicine evidently bought at a
town bordering on oklahoma He came
in on the night train at this station from
the West last night. reaching here at one
this morning. From this place he walk
ed to Evansville, five miles distant. The
intense cold must have benumbed him
and made his wall one terrible agony,
Two empty cartridges were found under
him though but one bullet wound was
found in his head. Help was summoned
and he was carried to nearby house
but nc never recovered consciousness.
fiilliard had been in the employ oe
Dwinell, Wright & Co, Of Boston for
some Il years but because of i'll health
came TO Evansville. his old home, last
spring and there purchased a small farm
and a mill. While at work in the mill he
received terrible wound on his hand
and it is thought by some that it was
the indirect results of the blood poison
ing caused by this wound that led to his
disappearance.
He leaves a wife and three sons at
Evansville and a married daughter at
Northboro, Mass

he proved to he only an official pre-
varicator. During Tuesday evening the
mercury dropped by dun tlIuds and

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE Senate to-day

an appropriation of over $24, 900. 600 The

take Its place.

GAMBLING CASE
LEADS COURT To
HIT At SECRECY
Judge Ten Eyck Says There
Was No Need for Keeping
Anything Quiet.

There Nas no need for secrecy in
the case" declared Judge Ten Eyck,
of the Quarter Sessions, today in dis
cussing the veil of mysterdy thrown
around the abrupt released rom the
penitentidry of three men, arrested by
men from the sheriff's office on a charge
of maintaining a gambling resort, after
serving only ten days of a nine and
three months sentences, and the reti-
cence of county officials which is caus-
ing speculation at the Court House.
1.-THE men were released and fined by
me on the recommendation of Prose-
cutor Mott. and there should have been
no mystery in the matter. The prose-
cutor knew. Possibly his reasons for
asking the release of the men from
Jail was that they might have been
deemed available for States witnesses.
1t is an understood fact in criminal
practise that a States witness is given
any benefit allowed law. There was no
secrecy in my court in the case, nor
will there aver be. 1t was on the
records and available to ALL"
The men released are Darius II. Mar
tin, Frank Winter and Thomas Clark.
They were caught over a year ago
when the sheriff's men suddenly de-
scended upon a house on Broad, near
Bridge street. Indicted, they were con-
victed, and Judge Ten Eyck sentenced
Martin, alleged proprietor of the house,
to nine months, the others to three, in
the penitentiary. On a writ of error OBJ
tanned by Frank McDermit, their coun-
sci, a stay was secured and they were
released on bail pending an appeal.
Later they expressed their willingness
to go to Jail. They were to have been
called for the State at the recent trial
of Detective Sergeant CORDIALLY, but as
the house they were caught in was not
mentioned in any of the CORDIALLY in
dictments, their evidence was Valueless
and they did not testify.
Subsequently they were taken to jail.
Despite what they would hav done
for the State, nothing could be done for
them. except by the Court of Pardons,
until Governor Fort signed Senator
Wakelee's amendment to section 90 of
the crimes act. Then their case was
considered and they were fined, Martin
$500, the others $3.50 each.
