the doors the first three nights this week.
The stage attraction was Texas Jack"
real or spurious COW boy, 1t don't
matter which, and an Indian maiden
who claims Peru, in South America as
her home. There was another Indian
and a local helper. The play repre-
sented Jack as falling into the hands OF
the Indians. Enziota the Indian maiden
was tired of her job, fell in love with
Jack, saved him from being burned at
the stake, and made "squaw man"
of him. There was some shooting and
very dizzy acting and 1t caught the
crowd.

THEATER GOERS
TO See ben HUR"
Great Spectacular Play in Jack
sonville Dec. 1st, I'd and
Sd, at Duval Theater.

Klaw & Erlanger's Stupendous produc-
ton of Lew Wallace's "Ben Hur" will
be presented in Jacksonville, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights, and Satur
day Matinee, Dec. 1st, I'd and Sd.
The management of the Duval Thea
tire, Jacksonville, have arranged with
Klaw & Erlanger for the presentation of
Lew Wallace's powerful religio historic
spectacle, Ben Hur" on the above
dates.
"Ben- Hur," with its lustrous "Star of
Bethlehem" its camels, Arabian steeds,
Oriental trappery and mimic splendor of
the gorgeous East, is beyond doubt the
most elaborate spectacle ever staged in
the history of the world. Its series OF
scenes present TO the eye feast of null
tifarious beauty and variety all set 10 a
symphonic accompaniment OF graceful
music. The exciting episodes, such as
the galley scene with its horde of
chained slaves, the sea fight, the rescue
in mid-Sea, the thrilling race with its
quadruple teams of galloping horses,
combined with the picturesque scenes
representing the appearance of the Star
to the Wise Men in the Desert, the
moonlit lake in the Orchard of Palms,
where Ben-Hur and Iras make love
while drifting in the barge of the fair
Egyptian, the palm waving worshipperS
on the Mount of Olives, simply captivate
the great audiences that are nightly in
attendance wherever it is being enacted.
AS now arranged and staged by Klaw
& Erlanger, the public sees great
spectacle which appeals not merely on
the strength of its dramatic values, but
as a colossal and picturesque pageant.
And in the chariot race, the scene
which, coupled with the popularity OF
General Walace's book, gave the play
its enormous vogue, eight horses, aided
by the most intricate mechanisms, pro-
duce the prodigiouS illusion of the Strug-
gle for supremacy in the arena OF the
Circus of Antioch Edgar Stillman Kel-
Iey's brilliant musical score, which so
heightenS the dignity and Solemnity OF
the Biblical narrative, and was one OF
the most potent factors in its success, is
made dominant feature of the present
production, being interpreted by a
special orchestra and chorus carried by
the company for that purpose.
Seats for "Ben Iur" will be placed on
sale at the Duval Theatre box-office
Monday morning Nov. 2S. Prices will
range from SOC to $500. 1t is advisable
for persons who intend visiting Jackson
Vile TO see this great spectacle, to re-
serve seats at once by mail. The
management OF the Duval announce that
special attention will be given to all
mail orders.
Quite number of Palatka people are
already making arrangements TO visit
Jacksonville for the purpose OF seeing
this play.

May Contest Election.

Rumors are flying thick and fast on
the street that evidence is quietly being
secured TO contest certain features of the
late election in this county.
1t is said that several frauds have al
ready been uncovered, illegal votes, Sc
cret counting in certain precincts and
fraudulent returns.
Whether this investigation is for any
particular candidate the News could not
learn. Every body who is supposed 10
know anything about the investigation
gets cold feet as soon as the News man
begins TO make inquiries.
But that there is something in the
wind is quite evident. Whether any.
thing develops sufficient for contest is
another matter

Putnam's Population.

There is some disappointment in Pa
latka over the census returns giving
but 10, 3,Op6 population to Putnam county
"a gain of but 1, ,455 in ten years.
The returns for Palatka city are not at
hand, but they, too, will be disappoint
ing.
il should be remembered, however,
that Palatka and Putnam county did not
commence to grow until early in 1909.
Since then we have been filling up with
good people rapidly. We have only
began to grow. Ten years from now
will tell a different story.

World. a princess wears high collar
to conceal scar, and all the feminine
world adopts it. The headdress Of
peasant girls Is utilized to form the
"peach basket hat of recent vogue.
The army blouse Of an Italian liberator
was modifled to make a garment for

tresses stamp their individuality on a
style of skirt or Of hairdressing.
But is a poet to lead them all as
an originator Of fashions? The OUT
burst of "Chantelclerr hats, wraps,

sequences of the wide interest in the
Rostand barnyard drama. There are
"Chanteclera hats ornamented with

buttons. buckles and what not. There
are "Chantecler" clocks and napkin

as the revived directoire styles, and
with the promise that it will probably
pass as quickly. Yet in the minor arti-
cles OF feminine ador1ment, In the
