mob Of 800 persons gathered on the

ducking the head of the institution

Cooler counsel prevailed, but the
quarrel, which has been growing

again at any time.
The inception of the difficulty lies
with the sanctioniDg of dancing In

when the Rev. Orland Nichols. a trav

"Polly Of the Circus" comes t.
this city on Wednesday, March II.
for two nights. Dainty. winsome
Edith Taliaferro plays the role OF
Polly. This play comes to the Ken
lucky with the endorsement OF New
York's critical theater-going public,
and deals with the life of sweet lit
tie flower OF the ring whose mother
was killed while performing on horse
back. II shows the efforts of the
clown and his friend TO bring the
child up, and who. despise their hasd
lives, know that out beyond their
ken. is a life OF better things. and
for which they strive TO give Polly.
Finally after she has been hurt while
performing in a small town and she
has. been taken to the parsons rec
tory, the two make up their minds
that this is the first step in the right
direction for Polly's future. and
they leave her there sorrowful In
their leave taking, yet conscious that
she is something apart from the life
of paper hoops and painted clowns;
and must be given every chance to
attain the splendors which they plan
shall come into her life. How they
did and Polly's joys and sorrows N,
her new life form the theme OF the
beautiful play.

Heart Trouble.
Des Moines---After a weeks IN
vestigation as to the cause OF the
death of Dean Frederick Howard, the
coroner's jury axer celebrating for
but FIVE minutes returned an open
verdict. The verdict stated that In
the opinion OF the jury not enough
evidence had been produced to show
that death was caused by morphine
poisoning. Coroner Newlen said that
the investigation is at an end as far
as he is concerned
All OF the evidence taken at the
final hearing went to show that Dean
Howard was afflicted with heart
trouble and this and not morphine
was the cause of his sudden death.
Dr. Eli Grimes, who was present at
the autopsy conducted by DR.. Hoeve,
testified that in his opinion the must
clan did not die from poisoning but
from apoplexy or heart trouble. Or.
Hugh G. Welpton. who had formerly
been the medical adviser of Dean
Howard, in a sworn statement made
before Coroner Newlen stated that
