JUST FOR 1--WE TOO"
Southern Writes Play for Himself
and Julia Marlowe,

New York, April 24.-E. H. Southern
is to continue under his own manage
ment. He and Julia Marlowe are to
act together again as co-stars. Further
more, Mr.. Southern has written a
play, nameless up to this point, which
is unique in that it has only two speak
ing parts of any importance. The play
is intended for the use of himself
and Miss Marlowe at some future date
The utmost secrecy concerning the
play has been maintained.
The man has become woman hater
through an unhappy love affair. He is
sailing abroad on his own yacht in
search of recreation when a raft bear
ing shipwrecked woman is sighted
in the distance. The woman is taken
aboard the yacht. One of the scenes
is laid on desert island, and through
out the entire action the man en-
deavors to combat the woman's love.
In the end she triumphs.

First Tripp REIMBURSEMENT.

Gregory Times: The first relinquish-
ment filing of Trip county series-w
made Wednesday morning by Miss
Mary Shoemaker OF Inman, Neb. Miss
Shoemaker's number was 1922, but she
had purchased a REIMBURSEMENT of a
lower number and made a filing on
the same through her agent, Chef
Slaughter, at the time her number was
called. There has been considerable
controversy on the streets as to the re-
linquishment question, many well-post-
ed people claiming that such docu-
ments could not be handled in any
manner until after October l. Judge
Witten made it quite clear, however
to. those who questioned him, that low
number accomplishments could be made
available to those having higher num-
bers. Persons not having numbers in
lne drawing cannot get action with re-
linquishments until October 1.

JEFFRiES TO TAKE TIME.
Indicated Champion Cannot Sign for
johnson Match for Some Moons.


New York, April 24.-The proposed
Jeffries-J Johnson fight will not formal
ly be arranged until some time next
fall, If then. Jeffries says that by the
terms of his theatrical contract, which
does not expire until July "a, he can
not sign articles of agreement for a
battle with anybody
AS Jeffries insists also that he is the
"undefeated heavyweight champion of
the world" he does not see why he
should issue a formal challenge to
Johnson for mill, nor can he under
stand why he should be compelled to
cover Johnson's forfeit money.
In word Jeffries intends to take
his own time about making match
with the negro, and the boilermaker
will not be ready for action until same
time next March or April. Under no
circumstances will be consent to an
earlier date for his temperance in
the ring, If he makes one.
Johnson, however, has jumped at the
chance to make tentative agreement
even verbally with Jeff for mill to be
decided even year hence, for he be-
lieves that he can offset the criticism
hurled at him just at present for side
stopping Sam Langford and Al Kauf-
mann.
Johnson appears ready to cancel or
rather dodge the match with Ketchel
now that he can tell the fighting world
that he is going to fight Jeff, but If he

On Wednesday morning at 1880 at

liam Clinch and Elizabeth Agnes Ma

Family DRIVING Horse cremated.

Four-year-old Myron Colamer is
supposed to have started fire which
cremated family driving horse in a
barn back of the Collamer home,
which is adjacent to the Buckendorf
green house on Madison avenue. The
morse belonged to Joseph PLANT, one
of the proprietors of the Pacific hotel,
and had been used by the family for
a number of years. The burning of
the old horse was in this way a source
of grief to the PLANT family, rather
than the financial loss.
The fire occurred at about 10 a. m
The barn and contents were almost
entirely destroyed. The barn was the
property of DR.. Carl Verges and was
insured for S100 The loss is over
that amount
The fire spread so quickly in the
hay that even the men who were early
on the scene could not save the horse.
Children were playing about and they
told that the little Collamer lad, a
match and the hay had started the
blaze. This the boys mother denies,
saying that the fire undoubtedly
caught from. bonfire which was
started the day before.

rear of an extra gravel train yester-
day morning while entering the city

windows, and the injury is only of a
minor nature. One of the gravel cars
and the caboose were badly wrecked.

for nearly five hours, waiting for the
wrecking crew from Norfolk to clear
the tracks. This was accomplished
as soon as possible under the super
vision of c, II. Reynolds OF this divis.

IL Is reported upon good authority
that the extra lacked two car lengths
of being clear of the main line. and on
account of the dense fog lights were
not visible at the time of the accident.
Passenger No. had a large guam
tity of cream on board which was scat
tered TO the depth of over an inch on

FAD COSTS DEARLY,
Society Girl Tries to Be HipIess and
Becomes III.


Chicago, April 24.-Miss Dorothy
Martyr, Chicago's beautiful society
girl, will never again surrender to
fashion.
In Paris, where she has been with
her mother, Mrs. e. ]. Martyr, and
her sister, Mrs. Edawrd L. Trudeau,
she is being nursed back to health
from the ills of too much slimness.
When hipless hips and straight line
forms were scheduled to replace the
wonted contours and curves last sea-
son known as stunning" society
changed it's figure.
No one would have uttered whisper
against the grace of the charm of Miss
Martyr. Yet she heard the edict of
the hipless hips and she tried to obey.
Dieting seemed to be perfectly proper
and quite as effective as more violent
methods.
Miss Martyr began long siege on
those few ounces of flesh she could
spare No more state dinners or good
hearty American dishes. With the
vision of 1909 slimness and trimness
ever before her, Miss Martyr neglect
ed her food.
She grew thin. Who wouldn't? Any
way, there was trouble a-brewing for
Miss Martyr. When she pleased all
the worst of the critics and tried TO
appease her good appetite, the stom-
ach she had starved then rebelled.
For weeks Miss Martyr was HILL
enough to be in danger of death. She
could live only on liquids. Doctors al
most despaired. Then her good consti-
tuition brought her around, and the
news yesterday was that Miss Martyr
is still fairly near to the ideal of her
dressmaker and yet strong enough to
be up.
She will continue to prosper, no
doubt, on food that Is solid, and If
she grows fatter, why it's not such q
mater for worry as being so fashion
ably thin as to die.

The MsYER COUNTY OPENING
Major Mclaughlin vislts Deadwood.
Rock and Cheyenne Openings.

Deadwood Times: Major James Nc
Laughlin, the great Indian pacifier
who for the past forty years has been
engaged in the Indian service. was In
the city recently on a brief bust
ness trip. The major retains his old
time love for Deadwood, although he
says that the town does not look as
1t used to look and that he can walk
the streets for blocks without hap
pening across any of his old-time
friends. He left for the Pine Ridge
agency, where he went to discuss with
the Indians the bill now before con.
gress relative to opening up a strip
of land in that agency and in Rosebud,
north of the tenth standard parallel,
beginning at the western boundary
of Trip county, extending west to Fall
River and Custer counties and as far
north as the White river. This strip
of land would average fifteen miles in
width and would contain some very
valuable farm as well as grazing lands.
The bill, introduced by Senator Gam
BILE, is now before congress, but 1t is
the desire of the department to have
the Indians informed what is pro-
posed, and to have them satisfied,
If possible. There will be some oppo-
sition among them to this, owing to
the fact that not all of them have
taken their allotments, and they do
not want to see any of their land
o1 &c
completed. Although the alloting
agents have been busy there for the
past three years, there are yet some
thirty-five hundred Indians who have
not been allotted their lands.
On standing Rock and Cheyenne
agencies, the conditions were differ
ent. All allotments have been made
on the former and the appraisements
will be completed sometime in Sep
TENDER so that he land will be
thrown open to settlers in October.
On the Cheyenne agency, the allot-
ments are almost completed, so that
there was no opposition, among the
Indians to the opening up of their
lands.
This land, which will be ready for
settlement by the white man within
few months is some of the very
best land to be found in either one
of the Dakotas. The tract to be open
ed up, includes a strip of land six
teen miles wide along the Missouri.
and an immense acreage along the
valleys of the Moreau and Grand
rivers. Major Mclaughlin says that
this land cannot be surpassed in any
part of this country. 1t is exceedingly
rich, well watered, and in addition
to this, abounds in deposits of Ignite
coal, in sufficient quantity to furnish
the homesteaders with plenty of fuel
for the digging. Even on the lands
that do not lie along the streams, wa
ter can always be secured at a depth
of from fifteen to thirty feet, and
with the railroads coming through,
they are now doing, excellent mari
cts will be available. Much of this
land lies along the way of the Mil
waukee coast line and this road will
ultimately throw out feeders to both
the north and the south so that there
will be scarcely township not with

her twin sons and her reason further

a Filipino, American fortune telling
seems to be becoming too much for
her.
The pictures forecasted have all
been very gloomy.

1t is said that some of the neighbors
want the black family to leave and
hence the fortune telling. Gamble

DR.. MACKAY DEFENDS SNAKES
Calls Them Friends of the Farmer and
Urges Their Protection.

The snake, according to DR.. Mackay,
has been grossly libelled these many
years, has suffered unwanted persecll-

is to aid the farmer and not the devil.
The snake, he declares. is the friend

Here is his plea:

HUSBAND NOT WORTH $500.
Mrs. Cohen Descants on the Value O
Helmets Under Conditions


HeIpmeets Under Conditions.
Chicago, April 24.-Husbands are
not worth $500, even if they will stand
without hitching, was the ultimatum
delivered to Samuel Hoffman last
night by Mrs. Bernhard Cohen.
She was willing to pay $40O and also
stand the expense of wedding supper
and the rabbits fee for husband for
her daughter, but not another penny
would she give.
Hoffman, who conducts a cleaning
and dyeing establishment, informed
the parents of Mrs. Cohen that he was
cheap at $1,000 with the way market
totaoes and other products.
However, he was willing to carry
out his part of the bargain made
some time ago with the girls parents
upon the cash payment of $500. He had
already been given $500, or the eguiva-
lent thereof, the Cohens say, when
they established him in business a few
weeks ago. Nothing was said about
the additional $500, and, good business
woman that she is, Mrs. Cohen SAYS
she will not pay more than $500 for
son-in-law.
That's why there was no wedding
last night at 400 State street A large
number of guests had arrived and
were anticipating the soup and
chicken, and gans leber, when Hoff-
man put in an appearance and de-
manded the extra $500 or he would not
be married according to the orthodox
Jewish custom.
Ten days ago Hoffman and Miss
Cohen were joined in marriage by
Municipal Judge Stewart, but that
ceremony is not recognized by the
Cohen family.
The bride returned to her residence,
and, according to custom, remained in
the house since the day of the mar
riage.
Were not going to throw this fine
supper away, wedding or no wedding"
said Mrs. Cohen while the daughter
was being consoled by some of the
guests. IF Hoffman doesn't marry my
daughter according to Jewish custom,
I'll sue him for that $500 that paid
for the dyeing establishment, I'll also
sue him for the cost of the wedding
supper-$55. 60"
