Kentucky, and suggests the political
! bends of that State. A young boy, in
love with the gamblers niece, inflamed
to madness by the sight of a cat's-eye,
for which stone he has inherited a vio-
\ lent antipathy, strikes with a heavy
k.vory tusk the drunken tormenter who
waves the stone before his eye.
The man dies, and the boy is SEN
fenced to death, but through the in
1uence of his mother, sweetheart and
interested friends, is given a new trial
and acquitted.
Woven into his skeleton is the story
Of the assistant district attorney, who
hates the boy for winning the girl he
himself loves, and the sweet story of
the old justice, consisting of a memory.
a picture and a spray of ~mignonette.
h is the plot, but the plot itself is
incidental. Real interest centres round
the awakening of Jack Brookfeld to a
knowledge of his own power, and his
deliberate efforts to harness that power
and make it do his bidding. The grad
ual growth. of his control over others
as his self-confidence increases Is de-
picted with O realism that leaves little
room for doubt, III to the time when, by
sheer force of will, he makes the dis
trict attorney drop the revolver that he
had pressed against the gamblers chest
with intent to kill.
During the last stages of the trial
Jack Brookfield sits alone in his room
and wills" one man to cast his vote to
save the boy. Again, he displays his
power, ineXplicable to himself, by read
ing the poker hand of a friend across
the room.
One follows the mind of tie man all
through the phases of it's telepathic
development, and feels with him his
horror when he discovers himself as
the real murderer of a man whom the
assistant district attorney bribed L
weakling to kill, for having suggested
to the attorneys mind that this could
be done.
One of the best bits of acting seen
in Newark in many a day Is lone by
Russ Whytal, whose portrayal of the
fine old Kentucky gentleman and JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
| c. -rt is like a cameo, ZACH detail Of
power or sentiment clear and true.
There is a. wonderful delicacy in his
handling of the scene where the man.

days.
George Nash, as Frank Hardmuth,
the district attorney, is fairly good,
though his voice is not pleasing.
Amelia Gardner handles capably the
role of Mrs. Helen Whipple, mother of
Clay, the boy slayer, c~onvincingly
emotional when it is required of her,
and always stopping just this side of
~overacting a situation.
Charles Baslar plays Clay Whipple
very well, and an excellent piece of
character work is supplied by William
Sampson, as Lew Ellinger, born gam
bier, who would place his soul at stake
in a gam and who believes In reform,
all right, but wants to fall all the way
down before he starts to climb up"
Both collectively and individually
there is little fault to find with the
cast, and the scenes, both laid in
libraries, were planned with a fine per-
ceptlon as to the value of detail.

a reheacing of the case is to be askci
by the Santa Fe, Illinois Central, the

The original defendants are the Rock
Island. the St. Paul. the Burlington, the
Northwestern and the Great Western

The kernel of the commissions de-
cision was the adoption of the principle
that the through rate must be below
the sum of the local rates at the Mis-
siSsippf and the Missouri rivers. To
this the body ordered the Scent re-,
auction on Missouri river through busi-
ness. Chicago and st. Louis iobbers

LAKE WAS DRY Il
YEARS AND NOW is
AT FULL TIDE AGAIN

Madison, S. D., Sept. IA peculiar
condition is noted at Lake Madison
four miles from this city.
Fourteen years ago a portion of the
lake four miles long and one mile wide
went dry. A short time previous to
this, Lake Herman, one of it's eeders,
also became a failure as a plunge oath
and went on the dry list, but in the
course of a couple Of years regained
practically it's former volume of wa,
ter. Lake Madison remained dry and
grew up to coarse rush grass until it
like a forest jungle. 1t lost out
as u pleasure resort and struck almost
a death blow to a f1ourishing chautaqua
project.
A ear age the water began to come
back to the dry part of the lake and
aow the rush grass has disappeared
and the lake has assumed it's former
appearance. having enough water to
permit the operation Of a pleasure
steamer. Only last year the commits
sioners of this county sought to Sc
cure an artesian well Oh the banks Of
the lake to restore it's volume of wa
ter. The effort failed but the lake has
made good.
