The Kansas Hermit Dead.

General Hugh Cameron, known
as the Kansas hermit, died of ap-
Oplexy in a Topeka hospital. He
came here last week to attend the
funeral of A. H. Case, an old
friend. He failed to awaken in
the morning and remained untOn-
scious all day.
General Cameron is a national

private in the Second Kansas cav
, airy and rose to the rank of
captain. He afterwards helped
raise the Second Arkansas caval-
ry. and was made lieutenant col
Onel of it. He fought with that
regiment for two years. When a
Holly Springs, Ark he was put in
command Of a brigade and while
b., he had not set battles while act
ing as a brigadier general, he
made some highly important stra-
tegic. movements. He was the on
ly commander who ever brought
any Of the men of the great
southern cavalry leader, General
Forest, into camp alone. Gener-
al Cameron, while on one of his
raids, aught Forests body
guard, k illed twenty-three o f
them and captured Captain Mer-
ritt and Sergeant Fouse.
General Cameron lived by him
self in a hermit's lodge near Law
renee for many years. Kansas U
iversity students were his only
eu0oUo LUZ years at a Time. They
used to like to go to his home to
hear his tales Of early days in
Kansas. Several times in his
life he walked to the national
capitol at Washington from his
Lawrence home. He is the auth.
or OF several books. One of
these tells about the three great
est evils in the world. These
evils he says are alcohol, women
and fashion.

Later he was put in command of
a regiment of Arkansas troops

A Novel Scheme in Managing Saw
inqs Banks.

This is what the Wilmington Times
calls the policy of the Hyde Park Savings
Banks practice of investing all its funds
in Vermont. 1t says:
A novel scheme in banking is that OF
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. of Hyde Park, VT, in devoting
its entire assets to the fostering of YER
mont enterprises and developing Vermont
industries. That the scheme is safe as
well as novel, is proved by the fact that
in the IS years since its organization the
bank has never lost dollar on poor
note, nor has it now, SO far as is known,
q single piece of poor or doubtful paper.
Commencing January, 1908, this bank
will pay four per cent compounded semi
annually on all deposits large and small
alike; will pay taxes on all sums up to
$1,000 and will issue pass-books with no
limits as to times of withdrawal or other
restrictions or limitations save those COM
mon to all Vermont savings banks. De-
posts made on or before Feb. 10Th will
draw interest from Jan. lst, those after
Feb. 18th from April Let.

bring goodIy number to the grange in

equipped for the larger field of Grange
work to which he has been called.
Everyone present rendered Brother and
Sister Jones sincere thanks for their eff
Gent labor in preparing supper that was
most heartily enjoyed. Retiring Master

sor the same cooperation and courtesy
that have been extended to him.
Under the worthy direction of the new

have such programs that no Granger can
we'll afford to miss single meeting OF

One Of the events of the theatrical sea-
son will be the appearance of "Under
Southern Skies" at Chandler Music hall
on Thursday evening, Jan. 80. The play
is in the authors most delightful vein
and when it is remembered that Mrs.
Parker, who wrote "Under Southern
Skies" also wrote SWAY Down East"
much may be expected OF this, her latest
drama.
"Under Southern Skies' is full of life,
light and gayety, and fills the audience
with the spirit of youth and romance.
The great beauty of the scenic settings,
the dainty costuming, the many amusing
and diverting characters and incidents,
the absorbing love story and the Hallow-
cen celebration and pumpkin dance, all
go to make "Under Southern Skies'' one
of the most delightful and satisfying en-
tertainments now before the public. The
company is very large, numbering in all
twenty-three acting people, the unusual
number of eleven ladies appearing in
good parts.
All the characters are of Southern birth
and are imbued with traits of character
inbred in the people of that section of our
country. Every one of the twenty-three
characters in the play is well-drawn
portrait, as true picture of Southern
speech and manner as the same author
has drawn of New England country peo-
pie in SWAY Down East" The two
"colonels'', one full OF bluster and flow
cry oratory, The other cool, deliberate and
unmoved, are finely contrasted, and their
long-standing 'sfeud" furnishes much
amusement for the audience. Major
Crofton, whose life holds hidden sor
row, is an impressive and interesting fig
ure and the two lovers of the heroine are
carefully drawn portraits of different
natures, although both are examples of
the hot blooded young Southerner.
The smaller parts are equally well pre-
sented and the old darby, "Uncle Josha-
way" is a life-like and amusing charac-
ter. The young heroine, Lila Crofton, is
the center Of interest among her young
girl friends. The part is difficult one to
portray, for she passes through all the
stages of joy and grief that are woven
about her throughout the plot of the
play. The faithful old 'sauntie" and the
mischievous child, "Anner Lizer," are
laughing creations true to the darkey of
the South.
"Under Southern Skies" should be re-
ceived here by the usua. large audience.
which greets it everywhere. No more en-
joyable play than this is now on the road

Exclusive Views.


The magnitude, novelty and gorgeous
ness OF the Elks' parade and decorations
at Philadelphia are admirably reproduced
in Lyman III. Howe's new program to be
seen in Chandler Music hall Wednesday
evening, Jan. %. As Mr.. Howe was so
fortunate as to be granted special facili-
ties to photograph these scenes from the
official reviewing stand, the audience will
see the parade from the same command
ing view point from which Mayor Rey-
burn saw il.
Another picture, which could also be
secured only through special concessions
granted by the minister of state railways
of Austria, shows Switzerland as seen
from the front of a locomotive. The
browning feature of the new program,
too, was obtained through most impor-
tant concessions granted by no less au-
thority than the Lords of the Admiralty,
England. Naturally this great series can
be seen only at this exhibition, as Mr..
Howe controls the sole American rights.
The complex machinery and the splen-
did majesty of modern battieships is re-
vealed as it never has been revealed be-
fore. They are shown ploughing the
deep at full speed-the very personifica-
ton of terrible strength. They are not
s'painted ships on a painted ocean"-but
the real mighty engines of battle of the
year 1907-hurling the deadly torpedoes,
whose paths are clearly marked in the
water, and defying the constantly diving
aud emerging submarines. Tremendous
machines-all of them.

ounce. In the absence Of full prepayment
the letters have been rated as short-pai
and chargeable with double the five-cent
rate, or 10 cents, and a credit of > cents
for the stamp attached in this country
has been given, leaving the shortage to
be paid by the addressee at 8 cents.
1t is not regarded as improbable that
some folks knowing of the two-cent rate
with Great Britain and Ireland thought
to evade the payment of the higher rate
on their letters when they go into other
countries by having them first sent to a
Lon6on address and then forwarded. Pos
tai union letters may be forwarded any
where in the union without extra charge,
but not SO those which have been pre-
paid at the special rate of cents. When
they pass out Of England to the continent
they then become subject to the rates
and conditions provided by the postal
union convention. and that Is why such
letters are charged with additional post
age on delivery.
