There, are rural plays galore offered
to the theatre going public, but not
since the days of 1.-The Old Homestead
and Way Down East" has any play
of their kind been offered to the pub
lie equal to Uncle Dave Holcomb,'
which was presented for the first time
at the Augusta Opera house Thursday
evening. In some respects this play is
the superior of 1.-The Old Homestead"
Mr.. Lawrence in his new play i'm

ton of loveable old man and his
portrayal Of the part Of Uncle Dave
Holcomb is character drawing of a
very high order and in every way sat
isfaoSory. He is supported by a web
balanced company. Marion Shirley as
Grace, the daughter was charming and
Annie Inman as Dawes wife did fine
acting, seconding. Uncle Dawes efforts
nObly. Fred Kelsey as Seth, Grace's
country lover was both manly and
pleasing while Walter HemmenWay
was very effective as Charley, the son
of Uncle Dave. Marie Scott in the
role of Phoebe Perkins, the village or
ganist and L. Carthew as Hank Do
little, the village imp, took the roles
of the lisping, bashful girl, and the
village mischief maker very cleverlS'
and were rewarded by hearty laughs
from the audience in appreciation of
their efforts at fun making. Thomas
Meegan played the difficult role of the
drunken brother with great force and
pathos and w. H. Roche as Squire
Jackson was quite at home in the role
of the grasping money lender.

BROKE THREE RECORDS.
Cold Weather So Far in December
Remarkable for This Section.

Three records have been broken by
the present cold spell. according to
statement given out at the weather bu-
reau office today. The present cold
spell marked the first fall of the tenn
perature below zero during the first
L days of December. ard is the first
time that freezing weather has prevail
ed for eight days in the first half of
the month and last week is the first
time that the maximum temperature
for nine days was reached at night.
Never before in the history of the
local weather bdreau station mas the
temperature gone below zero during the
first II days of December. Last week
| the temperature dropped 20 1 degree
below 1t hung around the zero mark
for some time.
only one day which the tempera-
ture went above the freezing point This
was last Saturday morning at 2 O'Clock
when the mercury registered at "a de-
grees. The remainder of the time it
has not passed the 81 degree mark
This temperature is the maximum
temperature for nine days and this is
the first time that the maximum at
this time of y-aar was reached at night.
The average Temperature for the past
zine days has been below 20 degrees
Three years ago today the tempera-
ture attaiEed u maximum of sc degrees.
That was the hottest day on record for
December. Today the maximum tenn
perature recorded UP to O'Clock was
26 degrees, which was reached at 1
and o'clock. The maximum for to-
day is 81 degrees to which point the
thermometer sank just before 10 o'clock
today.
There is possibility that the snow
row on the ground may remain until
Christmas. This blanket of snow coy-
ers the entire country west of a CEN
ter-of- Texas line. A lot of warmth and
sunshine will be required to put the
snow out of sight.
Rather a remarkable feature of to-
days weather is that the wind is blow
ing u miles an hour from the south
west. Usually when the wind blows
from the southwest the temperature
rises rapidly. Toby the temperature
has risen only A. degrees. despite the
wind The large area which is covered
with snow is responsible for this.

FOSTER WAS FIRST.
Topeka Lawyer Killed First Deer
New fIaHspshlre Irdss season.

Frank H. Foster, los Greenwood
avenue, a Topeka attorney, who is in
Derry, N. H, ron professional business,
shot a deer there that weighed 132
pounds. according to a newspaper ac-
count received by E. w. Thompson,
who resides next door to him.
Foster was standing beside the
house when he heard the dog barking
fiercely. and upon investigation the
Topeka man saw the animal run to-
ward the nearby pond. He paid no
attention to the dog until it returned
to him and led the way to the reser-
voir. He then saw upon the opposite
shore deer at bay, and two hounds
barking at the object.
After he had looked again. Foster
noticed that tire deer had broken
through the thin ice and into the deep
water. The ice would not hold UP the
dogs and they could not swim out to
the deer. Foster then went to the
house and securing the gun, shot the
deer.
The animal was taken to the farm
house and dressed. Later feast was
held. Foster is the first Kansas law
yer who has gone to Derry and been
successful in killing a deer.

the deadly fumes, when she returned
to her home at $50 o'clock.
1t is believed that the elder Rich
ards, forgetting for moment of the
dangers of natural gas, turned the
damper in the stove pipe and drove
the fumes back into the stove from
which they spread about the room and
later the house, causing three deaths.
This is the theory of the relatives.
What at first promised to be a SEN
sational feature CT the affair was that
after the bodies We're found and re-
longing to the elder Richards, were
found in different parts of the house.
One pocket book was found in an un-
used bedroom and the other was found
in a shed kitchen in the rear of the
house. There was no money in either
pocketbook. 1t is possible that these
pocketbooks were robbed of their con-
tents by one of the numerous curiosity
seekers who visited the house after
the discovery of the bodies.
Scout Theory of Robbery.
The theory that some one had visit
inmates and finding them dead. had
rified the pockets of the elder Rich
ards is secuted by both the officers
and the relatives of the deceased. 1t
is believed that Mrs. Richards was the
first to enter the house after death
had occurred.
1t is not believed that Richards had
much money in his pocketbook, as he
has not drawn upon his bank account
since November 80. At that time he
drew $23. Relatives believe that he
did not have more than a few dollars
at the time of his death.
Damper in Stove Turned Off.
Mrs. Frank Boley, a daughter, be-
Iieves her father made the move
which cost three lives. This theory
is that finding the room too warm to
be comfortable he turned the damper
to shut off the fire as is done with the
ordinary wood or coal stove, and that
this drove the fumes back into the
stove and later into the room and
the house.
