Those who have been accustomed
to the former play house will hardly
recognize it in its new dress. The
old stage has been replaced by
much larger one to make room for
the character of vaudeville acts which
have been booked for the future.
Appropriate scenery will add attract
iveness to the stage. Commodious
dressing rooms have been arranged
in the rear of the stage, giving all
the accessories which are necessary
to a high class performance. In the
front of the house the partition has
been moved some Is feet toward the
entrance, giving the auditorium an
increased capacity of about 100 peo-
pie This was made necessary by the
enlarged expense entailed by the pol
icy of giving vaudeville.
Electric fans will be put in opera
ton so as to make the room as COM
Portable as any spot in town during
the hot weather.

Messrs. Albin & Taylor in this enter

MAN LIVED EIGHTEEN
HOURS UNDER WATER
Sailor in Hold Of Capsized Vessel
Saved by Compressed Air.

Crisfeld, Md, Oct 18.-After living
In the forepeak of capsized vessel in
Tangier sound for eighteen hours,
James O'Donnell, one of crew of six
thought to have been drowned after
the rescue of the other FIVE members
of the crew, was rescued when the
boat was turned over. O'Donnell had
a remarkable experience, and he owes
his life to the fact that when the YES
sci turned over in the gale consider
able air was compressed into the hull,
and this enabled him to breathe and
remain alive, although trapped like
rat.
The accident occurred just off Deals
Island. One of the heavy rollers hit
the little vessel, and in a few moments
it capsized. All of those on board,
with the exception of O'Donnell, we're
able to jump off before the boat over
turned. ODonnell was in the fore
peak and when the vessel captized
found himself in prison.
All OF the other members of the
crew chung to the sides of the over
turned boat until they were rescued.
Sunday Captain Webster and some
of the crew went out to his vessel to
see about the damage and attempted
to turn her over. After hard work
they finally succeeded, and to their
establishment they found ODonneH in
the forepeak of the boat. He was In
very weak condition when rescued and
could have held out very little longer.

Gregory, Tex, Oct. ia wild cat
hunt, a days tarpon fishing, motor
boating and automobiling, jackrabbit
chasing and golf are a few of the
diversions in which President Taft is
expected to indulge in the course of
his four days rest at his brothers
ranch here.
At the Charles p. Taft ranch the
president will be among those who ap-
preciate his need of rest and recrea-
ton. No local committeeman will be
allowed within the precincts of the
100000 acre ranch, unless possibly on
the last day when the president may
consent 10 deliver little speech at
Corpus Christi.
The presidents brother has provid-
ed big, strong horse for his guest,
and the president will do considerable
riding. They do their wild cat hunt

dusk, when the creatures venture from
P. Taft has several fine hounds that
are all trained for wildcats, and local
hunters stand ready to assure the
president that the glory of the great
African game killer will be obscured
at least for one day if he will consent
to join in the chase. Ducks and geese
also have begun to come in from the
north, and the president may try his
luck with them. The golf links on
the Taft ranch have been laid out es-
pecially for the presidents visit.
Charles p. Taft, his wife and their
daughter, Miss Louise, were at the
station to greet the president when his
train pulled in. Secretary of War Dick
inson made the trip from San Antonio
with the president, and he will be a
guest at the ranch during the presi-
dents stay.
Falls City got the first presidential
baby kiss of the Taft trip. The presi-
dent had managed to cover about 5000
of the $4,000 miles of his jaunt with
out kissing a single kid, but at Falls
City he was cornered. Mrs. e. S.
Woolsey passed her four-months-old
baby up over the rear platform railing
and the president took 1t in his arms.
Having surrendered to that extent,
there was no escape. With all of Falls
City cheering. the president planted a
gentle kiss on the child's cheek. What
further evidence is needed of Taft's
candidacy for reelection?
