at St. Paul he was elected to succeed himself for term of four years, which was a very high compliment to his of ficial record.
 His efforts on behalf of the organ ization and the commendable results were thus meritoriously recognized in his reelection to this office, exceeded only by the grand sire in the gift of the order.
 General Raney Is a thirty-third de- gree Mason and quite active as a Sir Knight in the grand commandery and consistory of the southern Jurisdiction. In public life he has served his city as mayor, postmaster, and Is now president of the public library.
 "He has been much identified with the sessions of the legislature, and in Con- gress as private secretary, where much of his time of late years has been spent. He Is not seeker after political honors.
 He seeks and enjoys the pleasures and achievements and high ideas of Odd Fellowship, and from the date of his assuming command of the Pat riarchs Militant branch of the order new life and interest has beeen devel- oped in all parts of the country and world.
 Every member of the order should make it point to meet and shake the hand of their distinguished guest and catch some of the fraternal fire that warns tn cir brother of large propor- tions-not in avordupois, but large In the interest and knowledge of the or der"

GREET PLAYERS
 IN JULIUS CAESAR
Finished and We'll Finished Perform ance of Famous Play Given
 at High School.

The Ben Greet Players enacted Shakes peare's Julius Caesar" at the High School auditorium yesterday afternoon. Only few seats on the main floor were occupied, but the balcony was well filled. the majority of those present being pupils of the public schools. Shakespeare con- stitutes part of the English course at the High school and most of those who attended the play brought their books and followed the lines.
 The players were a their best, and gave an exceptionally fine performance. The cast included MT De Breanski as Caesar, Mir McEntee as Brutus, MT. Drewitt as Cassius, MT. Shepherd as Marc Anthony, and Miss Wakeman Portia. Twenty or twenty-five years ago. when star actors played Cassius and Brutus and sometimes Marc Anthony, the rest of the cast was most always taken by "stick," and Portia was seldom given to a star. But in this company there was an agreed bls balance. It recalled indeed the famous stock comp2 oies of ante-bellum days. when all rts were filled by actors of talent af1A no single player tow cred above the>f> '.
 Not only was yesterdays audience treated to strong and finished portray als of Brutus. Cassius, and Anthony, but the Caesar was excellent, and excellent, too. were all the minor characters. Miss Wakeman gave beautiful interpretation of Portia, and every line she spoke was delivered with womanly emotion and sin gular eloquence.
 Only old theatergoers could possibly call to mind a presentation of Julius Caesar that might be compared in histrionic strength throughout to that of yesterday.

WOULD PUT COURTHOUSE
 IN FAIRVIEW VICINITY

"Bessemer wants a new county, but she wouldn't care for that troeble or expense if Jefferson county would erect a courthouse. not only adequate but con- veniently located for Birmingham, Bes- semer Ensley and Pratt City
 Build a new courthouse at a place that will be as convenient for one of these places as the other; say Fairview, or in that vicinity. I own no property in that vicinity and have nothing to gain personally by this suggestion, but if 1t is done 1t will forever quiet the strife that exists between all these cities. It is all Jefferson county and Birming- ham is the nest egg
 Such a location would give each community the convenience they desire and it would stop the effort to divide Jefferson county. Any location that will make 1t equally convenient for all these towns is right fair and just. None of the towns will suffer and all will be benefited and it will incidentally aid the movement of annexation"

CYTY FOUND GUILTY.

The case of the People VS.. Cyty
went to the jury last Saturday morn
ing at Independence, California. In
the evening about 10 o'clock the jury
reported to the court that they were
unable to agree. Judge Childs order
ed them locked up and again early
Sunday morning they brought in a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter.
The trial was devoid of sensational
features. The dying statement of G.
Kyle Smith contradicted the defend
ant as to who commenced the ARRAY.
There was also some testimony that
the defendant had made threats
against the deceased
One peculiar fact in the case is that
both men were shot from the rear
and both men were shot twice. 1t is
understood that the attorneys for
Cyty are preparing motion for a
new trial The killing of Smith oc-
Cured about forty miles south of
Rhyolite several months ago.

VAN DUzER BoBs UP AGAIN.

Some weeks ago the Carson Appeal
received a letter from man in Chi
cago asking if ex-Congressman Van
Duzer is reliable man to buy min
ing stocks from.
The writer of the complaining let
ter stated that he had lost money
buying stocks guaranteed" as all
right by Van Duzer's circulars, and
he added that every once in a while
some stock manipulated by Van Du-
ger was merged" or, consolidated
with some other stock combination
and that Chicago investors were un-
able to keep track of Van Duzer or
the changes his stocks undergo.
These Van Duzer circulars are GER
tainly curiosity.
The offer made in the circular to
stock buyers is that twelve per cent
per annum is guaranteed and at the
end of three years the original in
vestment is returned with a 10 per
cent per annum bonus.
