the register of about three dollars in
change.
This makes the seventh time within
a few months that local merchants have
suffered from petty thieving, Ellicot &

The story of ST. ELMO, as written by
Augusta j. Evans, has been for two
generations one of the most widely read
OF American novels. 1t might almost
be termed a classic. Every public
library has one or more copies on its
shelves and it can be found in every
book store, whether in the country
village or the largest city. Our mothers
wept over its pages or were thrilled with
its deep romantic passages, and their
children find equal pleasure in It, 1t is
one of the few American novels of a
generation ago that has stood the test
Cf time and still retained its popularity
For this reason the dramatization of
st. Elmo is of unusual interest, not only
to those who have read the novel, but
to those who have not
The playwright has been careful to
preserve the spirit Of the novel and in
making his adoption has endeavered to
utilize all of the important incidents of
the story, building upon them a drama
of romatic power which grips the auditor
firmly and holds the interest tense until
the final word is spoken. 1t is good,
old-fashioned drama, with strong sit
uations, stirring climsxes, tense moments
of heart thrilling suspense, romantic
love passages, little snatches of bright
comedy here and there, ali cleverly
intermingled by master hand into a
play of absorbing interest, which pre-
serves the dignity of probability all the
way through. St. Elmo will be pro
duced at Opera House Alma, Tuesday
evening, June It'll. Prices %, 35, and
