4sHApows OF A GREAT CITY,

Few plays on the American stage to-
day have enjoyed the continued success
that Shadows of a Great City" has
and the indications are it Will do so
for years to come. It is an old favor
lite with patrons of the Towle opera
house and should bring out big crowds
for that is what it always has done in
days gone by. While it is a big elabor-
ate production of a strong, heart-to-
heart play, still it possesses as much
comedy as most of the out and out
farces. Another taking feature Of the
play is its cleanliness. 1t was writ
ten by the late Joseph Jefferson and L
r. Shewell, and coming from such mer
as they were 1t could hardly be other
wise. Sunday matinee and night

DR.. W. +. Howat gave an interesting
talk last evening before the Wednesday
night club at the public labrary. While
his talk was not on the seasons pro-

temporaneous, it was nevertheless of
great value and should have been heard
by a larger audience than the public
library auditorium can hold. The at
tendance was good last evening. and
the discussion which followed was TAX
en- up with a great deal of interest.

TWO HOURS UNDER KNIFE.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 15.-Bish-
op E. E. Hoss, of the M. E. Church
South, underwent a surgical oper-
alton atthe Johns Hopkins Hospital
for intestinal trouble. AT noon he
was reported to be reviving from
the effects of the ether in a satisfac-
tory manner.
Bishop Hoss was upon the table
for nearly to hours, which was an
hour longer than anticipated, and
was due to the fact that The sur
geons found his condition much
worse than had been expected.
The doctors said that it would be
impossible to give definite opin-
ion in the case until this evening,
but so far as they could tell at this
time he was resting very satisfac-
torily.

the other forced the mail clerks to
open the door of the car. The Sec

car, threw the packages into sack
and jumped off. At the points OF re-
volvers the engineer, fireman bag

marched up the track a distance,
then told to got back to their train.

SUSPECT AfThOUS FEVER.

Entertaining suspicion that an
outbreak of apthous fever, COM
monty known as thefoot and mouth
disease, which made its appearance
last week among herd of cattle in
Pennsylvania, may be traceable
to a shipment of calves from Rock
ingham county, the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry at Washington has
rushed it's special agents into this
territory, with instructions to make
a thorough investigation. The in
spectors have been quietly at work
since Friday morning They main
tain absolute silence in regard to
their operations, but it can be stat
ed on excellent authority that thus
far they have found here no trace
of the disease for which they are
looking.
A number of calves purchased
one week ago today at the Balti-
more stock yards and shipped into
Pennsylvania are held responsible
for the presence of the disease in
the herd with which they were
mingled. These calves were ship
ped into Baltimore, it is believed,
along with alarge number of "veals"
which arrived from the Valley of
Virginia and West Virginia. After
reaching the stock yards the ami
mails were not kept separated, and
it is therefore impossible to tell
from what point the calves which
went to Pennsylvania were ship
ped. For that reason it is the pur-
pose of the government to trace
each individual shipment and 10
cate, if possible, the source OF the
disease. = Harrisonburg Daily News.
