ssThe Girl From The U. 8 A"

In q late review Of theatrical pro-
ductions by a prominent dramatic
critic, the play "The Girl from the
q. S. A" received a full measure Of
praise.
The story deals with an American
girl who has been placed in an aristo-
cratic convent in Paris, France, that
her education might receive an ultra
"Finish." There she has formed a
deep and lasting friendship with
Vivienne de Voltone, q French girl.
The play opens with a deep intrigue
both social and political, on the part
Of the Turkish Ambassador to France.
The Girl follows her abducted friend
Into the innermost recesses Of the
sacredly guarded harem Of a Turkish
pasha, and In the guise of a new
"favorite'' Is terrorized to find that
the very Turk whose scheme she is
trying to Illustrate, has fallen in love
With her. Only by shrewd diplomacy
can she . v herself from the clutches
Of m unlicensed barbarian. And
later, In the ceremonious mazes of
Chinese society, her native wit saves
the day for herself and friends.
Although the plot leads 0ne among
scenes Of oriental splendor, the tone
Of the play remains wildly and
thoroughly American Ia sentiment.
The climaxes are thrilling and unex-
pected, and the comedy OF several

Henry Bradshaw Of Worthing was in

Henry Bradshaw Of Worthing was in
town Tuesday. He recently returned
from a bear hunt in Colorado, and
was accompanied by his brother
William and DR.. Kerr Of Akron.
They had a fine time out in the
mountains and killed five bears.
They had two guides, IL horses and
p dogs. One day a bear cub was dis
covered up a tree and Henry went
after it with a pole and a lasso.
William wanted the cub to bring
home with him. The guides told
William they could not keep the dogs
away from the cub but William in
sisted and Henry by hard work and
good lasso throwing managed to get
the young bear to the ground.
William and the Doctor and the
guides tried to protect it from the
dogs and a free for all scrap took
place but the dogs won out and the
little fellow was killed. 1t took
William three days to get owe the
matter, and once in awhile he tells Of
how it took five men aud q dogs to
kill a poor little motherless cub. DR..
Kerr went out to Colorado in his auto
and brought q Of the bears back to
Sioux City as baggage. Henry says
that II William finds a cub out in the
Black Hills, where he IS now hunt
Ing, he will bring that cub home If he
has to kill all the dogs in the Hills.

1t seems from papers received by
the editor of the LEADER that the
order of Home Guardians and it's
membership has been traded, sold or
leased to an order in Illinois known
Is Loyal Americans" 1t Is a re-
markable proceeding and creates
disgust among Home Guardians.
Supreme Guardian Milne might have
consulted the order as to this step,
but he didn't. He just sold out the
rank and file like SO many sheep and
pocketed the proceeds. The Home
Guardians may be able to protect
their homes by keeping their cash at
home hereafter.

Man Who Wanted Job and Did Not Gel It is Happy
 Still

DOUGLAS. Arizona, Marcl 19.- W. P. McNa'r of this city. who had some strong endorsements for the po- sitiOn of railroad commissioner. greet ed the international reporter this morning with broad smile. He show ed no ind cation of carrying 9 EroGch because he had failed to receive the recognition which he and his friends had asked for at the hands of the governor.
 AIr. McNair stated that sixty appii- cants for the three positions on the railroad commission made it pretty sure that hfty-seven were in for dis appointment and that he had been un- fortunate n being one Of the fifty seven. He also stated that while he had not been appointed to the posi- ton he felt grateful 10 those who had given him their endorsement for tho position.
 fir. McNair was backed for inc po- sitlon by the board of directors Of tho Douglas chamber Of commerce and mines After receiving this endorse ment he was also endorsed for the position by the representatives of the terr torial organization Of commercial clubs which held a meeting in Phoe nix for the purpose of endorsing 8 candidate for railroad commissioner. who was equipped wth knowledge of lbe intrieacies of railrosd freight tar iffs. Besides these endorsements Mr. McNair was endorsed for the position by many prom Dent republicans of the territory, including Chairman HoVal A. Smith. Of the territorial republican central committee
 AcNair has always been the friend Of Governor Kibbey and in the fight which was waged in the territorial republ can convention at Tucson last summer between fhe xibbeyites and the anti-Kibbeyites he was loyal to the governor and this fact led many to believe that he would be chosen for the position -o which he aspired.
