in parts of West Richmond during the
past week. A number of coops be-
longing to persons residing on West

escape with their booty without leav-

new THEATRE
IS IN PROSPECT
Representatives of United
States Amusement Com
pany in the City.
WILL BUILD A NEW HOUSE.
UNLESS MAIN STREET LOCATION
CAN BE SECURED COMPANY
MAY NOT ENTER RICHMOND
SITES IN PROSPECT.

Five representatives of the United
the largest popular priced vaudeville
concerns in America, were in the city
Sunday and Monday figuring on a site
for an opera house the company In
tends to establish in this city in the
near future.
One site that these agents consider
ed most favorably was the property
at the northwest corner Of Tenth and
Main streets, owned by VIII Martin
and now occupied by DIR. Geist. Mr..
Martin is at the present time in the
west SO it was impossible for the
amusement people to enter into nego-
tiations with him.
Another site that attracted the eyes
of the theatrical men was the vacant
lot at the southeast corner of Tenth
and Main street, which was purchased
some weeks ago by o. G. Murray OF
the Sun & Murray vaudeville circuit.
The United States Amusement COM
pany now has thirty-three theaters in
this section of the country, and is ex-
tremely anxious to enter Richmond,
notwithstanding the fact that it would
meet competition here from the Sun Il
Murray circuit, which books the at
fractions for the New Phillips theater.
In few days agents OF the COM
pany will return to this city and at
that time it is expected that the COM
pany will take some definite action re-
garding the location of house here.
n a suitable Main street property can
rot be secured. 1t is stated. the COM
pany will abandon it's plans for en-
tering Richmond.
Richmond's fame as show town ap-
pears to be growing. At the present
time there is one theater booking high
class attractions, four splendid five
cent theaters, one good vaudeville
house. and another in prospect. Man
ager Murray has also been planning
to build vaudeville house on his lot
at Tenth and Main street next spring
and devoting the New Phillips to
popular priced theatrical attractions,
such as melodrama. burlesque and
stock companies.

PREDICT LARGE ACREAGE.
Farmers viii Yet Sow Much Winter
Wheat.

Whitewater, Ind, Sept. 20 The
rain of Monday proved a blessing to
many farmers of Franklin township.

enough rain had fallen to moisten the
ground. Pastures had become barren
and many wells went dry. Little
wheat has been sowed but with fol-
lowing showers a good acreage will
yet be put out. Corn is remarkably
dry for this season of the year.

How Cheap Is Your Soap?

That is question that few women
can answer because many of them
buy the impure kind, made to weigh
heavily by the amount of rosin put into
the soap. But rosin is not cleansing,
and is not cheap at any price. The
standard pure laundry soap is called
Easy Task. 1t is all soap and there

cents a cake.

the department who have died in the
line of duty, and each year. on a day
to be fixed, memorial services will be
held around the monument and adj
