"St. Elmo for decades q novel
that has wrung the hearts of ro-.
mantle maidens, has brought the
touch of remorse to the sated rouc
and has taught even the preacher
his lesson of forgiveness, has been
done into play by Willard Hol-
comb, and will be presented by
the Vaughan Glaser Company
at the Grand Theatre for the
first time in this city Monday. What
ever may be said of the play taken
from Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson's
vibrant novel, it will be admitted
that 1t is built of excellent material.
Full of the innately dramatic in plot
and atmosphere the book has for all
these years been the reservoir of in
spiration for strong play.
The story as read by those in the
time when the code duello was con-
sidcred a necessary part Of every
gentlcman's education, was a strong
satire against the futile slaughter,
which that practice effected. Like
duclling that part of the story has
become obsolete. But that does not

act from being n strong weapon IN

Elmo Murray is played by Mr.. Will

part, the girl. is played by Miss Mar
garet Lindsay. The two form the
warp and woof of the whole story.
The processes that lead to their final
union arc indeed dramatic. She. the
soft spirituelle type that puts purity
of soul above all else, revolts against
that part Of her nature to which st

STORY OF A BELL.

Few persons suspect that in the cathedral church of Notre Dame iI Paris is bell coutemporaneous with Joan of Arc-"the blessed bell" which sounded the tocsin when the maid of Lorraine appeared in Att gust, 1429, and Paris was besieged by the English. This historic be.' referred to by Victor Hugo iii his "Notre Dame de Paris,o was given to the cathedral in HOO by Jean de Montaign. It was refounded in 1886, and then rebaptizcd under the name of Emmanuel Louise Therese, in honor of Louis XIV. and Marie Therese of Austria.
 So if this bell is not the same bell which the heroine of Domremy heard, nevertheless the same metal yibrates to-day at the great religious ceremonies of the metropolitan church. In view of labor events it seems rather more than a coinci- dence that when all the other bells of Notre Dame were destroyed by the Rcvolutionists Joan's bell should have been spared.

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER

l
 An ideal newspaper for the Ameri can home must be habitually clean and high minded, it must offer something of interest to every member of the family, and it must present daily the news of the whole world in authentic and readable form. A large contract, you will say. Well, the newspaper that comes nearest to filling it in the West is the Chicago Record Herald. It's moral tone is always high, it's news service is unsurpassed and prob ably no other paper in the United States has so brilliant an array of special features suited to the tastes and needs of every member of the family.
 Business and professional men have long regarded the Record Herald as the best paper for their own reading because of it's unequaled faculty for getting all the news of the world and putting it into the briefest possible form for the busy man. They also es- teem it for the reliability of it's finan- cial, agricultural and market reports

Prices for the product are soaring, as apples for December delivery are selling for more than $5 per barrel. Growers estimate the crop at from 15 to 25 per cent of a full yield Late apples are eoloring rapidly but are not yet ready for the market.

FREEZING WEATHER
 EARLIEST ON RECORD

Earlier than ever before in local weather records running back for nearly 30 years, temperature of 32 degrees above zero was recorded this morning by the government thermom- eter in charge of Prof. G. H. Burr. Freezing weather is very rare at any time in October, and to occur this ear ly in the month is without precedent in Conway weather annals. A heavy frost also occurred, the roofs of houses and other exposed places being white early this morning. It is not likely that much damage will result from the frost.
