demand of same. The bond is now

One of the great hits of the day is
Mr.. Fred G. Conrad's play of ga
Dangerous Friend" 1t has a strong
intricate plot, though telling a
simple story, woven around nine
characters, each one distinct and
strong in its own setting, each one
doing its own work and delivering
its own message in this fascinating
romance of American life Nine
characters are enough, they keep us
busy the entire evening, we know
what they are going to do, because
we have seen them in real life, but
we don't know how they are going
to do 1t. We sit in expectation and
greet the various surprises with
murmurs of approval, and marvel at
the authors cleverness is unwilling
his situations. Mr.. Conrad has put
the breath of real life into his play
and it is destined to outiive many
of the sensational successes of the
past few seasons, because 1t makes
US glad we are. alive. "a Danger
Gus Friend" is to appear in your
town, Monday Feb, !, 1909.

The Milton Globe says William Barry,
whose sentence in the state penitentiary,
technically speaking, has expired, will
in all probability remain there for some
lime yet, and perhaps for the balance of
his life, unless he decides to spend
little money towards his release. Some
technicality requires Barry to take
certain legal steps before he can be
released by the prison authorities. He
maintains that the state should stand
the expense of an attorney in these
proceedings ard refuses to do anything
towards this end. The state, on the.
other hand, is not losing any sleep over
the matter and is willing to let things
remain where they are. According to
the penitentiary management Barry has
been slightly demented the last couple
of years, which accounts for the peculiar
position he takes in regard to his own
liberation.
