Emporium Girl as "Barbara Freit-
chic"

The Senior class of Olean High
school presented the above popu-
lar production, last Friday even
ing, under the direction of Miss
Myers. The principal character,
'Barbara Freitchie," was per-
sonated by Miss Mildred Douglas,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. S.
Douglas, formerly residents of this
place. OF course we are all proud
of the great success and hearty en-
thusiasm accorded the pleasant and
talented young lady, more especial
ly so on account of her being an
Emporium product. The Olean
Evening Herald, last Saturday,
says:
"The acting was of a high stand
ard, and it was hard to believe
that the drama was presented by
amateurs. Rarely has play of
such depth and strength been at
tempted by high school students,
and more rarely has a production
of this class been brought to so
high II degree of perfection. The
excellent modulation of voice, the
remarkable acting and the depth
of feeling displayed, showed that
time, care and faithful work had
been expended in preparation, and
for this result, much is due the
training given the cast by Miss
Myers.
Beyond question, the star of the
cast was Mildred Douglas, who
enacted the title role. She won
the instant favor of her audience,
and held it from beginning to end.
Though given number of enthu-
siastic curtain calls, she, for some
reason, failed to respond to them.
Her work was the subject of gene
raj commendation, and Miss Dou-
glas certainly covered herself with
glory as the immortal Barbara. ."

In apparently good health, he

His sudden death is deeply deplor-

was often visitor to our sanctum,
having for very many years been
one of our most prompt subscribers.
He was an honest man, and that

POISON MYSTERY
STILL BATTLING
DAUGHTER OF DEAD
WOMAN FEIGNS ILLNESS
Girl Recently Inherited Money and
Had Been Held Virtual Prisoner for
Fifteen Years-Had Long Wanted
to Leave DEMONSTRATION Pact
Secuted.

Chico, Cal, Dec. 24.-Physicians to-
day asserted that Lavina Corey,
daughter of Mrs. William Whiteline,
who died of poison yesterday, was not
suffering from the same illness as her
mother. Physicians who have exam
ined her say she has really feigned
illness.
This adds mystery to the case of the
two women who, it was firse believed
had entered a starvation pact. The
authorities say the girl is concealing
important facts. She will be care
fully examined as a number of pecu-
liar circumstances have been unearth-
ed.
Recently the girl received a legacy
of $500 and it is known she has been
made a virtual prisoner for fifteen
years by her mother. Relatives ad-
nit she had wanted to leave home for
some time.
When the girl and her mother were
found yesterday she said she had been
poisoned by pork gravy. 1t was be-
lieved someone had sent it to them,
Physicians examined the remains of
the pork, but refused to say what was
found.

London, Dec. 24.-With the ap-
proach of midnight and no ti6ings yet
of Cecil S. Grace, the intrepid young
aviator who disappeared Thursday af-
ternoon while attempting a return
cross-channel flight from Calais to
Dover in an aeroplane, the belief gen.
orally prevails in London that the
old North Sea holds somewhere on its
turbulent breast the story of a ira
gedy.
Every nook and corner-on shore
and in land-where it was thought
young Grace might have landed, was
searched today, but unavailing, and
the boats that churned the channel
and portions of the North sea on the
lookout for the youth or wreckage of
his machine likewise reported their
search had been in vain.
Grace carried with him petroleum
sufficient for flight of about five
hours. His biplane was not fitted with
pontoons. Grace wore a cork Jacket
but in case of a fall into the water
he would have been cumpered by his
heavy fur-lined boots The general
belief is that it will be impossible for
his machine to float for any great
length of time, and that unless the
aviator was rescued by ship bound
for some distant port, there is a slen-
der hope that he escaped death in the
sea

Is FOUND GUILTY

Seattle, Dec. 24.-Bert Schuman,
alias Herbert Rolason, kidnaper of II
year old Dewey Wellman, was found
guilty by jury in the superior court
yesterday. The jury was out only long
enough to take one ballot. After the
verdict had been returned Schuman
admitted that he had previously serv-
ed term in the penitentiary for the
same offense and the court adjudged
him a habitual criminal and pro-
nounced an indeterminate sentence of
from twenty to forty years in the

man was arrested and brought back
