Another favorite is in the person
age of Miss Leona Marshall, a dash

us highly recommended. This will
be his first appearance in our city.
He has a wide Western reputation
of being a born comedian. A few
seasons ago he was the leading COM

pany and IS genuine fun-maker.
The leading man is Mr.. VIII Brown.
He comes from the team of Gains &

fine talker, singer, dancer, and he is
sure to get lots of laughs for the
comedian. Mr.. Louis Mitchell is con-

complete the company,
In talking to Mr.. Vodery, he is en-
tirely satisfied with the chorus, and
makes the assertion that he will have
as good a singing show as ever any
colored company has had in Our city.
The entire company is now rehearsing
day and night. New costumes are
being made IN New York, new scenery
and stage effects are being added, and
Mr. Lew Henry, the efficient stage

circles today statement issued last
night by Clifford Pinchot, who was re-
Gently dismissed by President Taft
from the post of chief forester of the
United States, took first place among
the topics discussed 1t is not likely,
1t is said. that any reply will be made
by the administration, Mr.. Pinchot
being no longer in the government
s~rvice, though his statement sharply
criticised the course it has pursued
Defiance of special interests that
would profit by failure to conserve the
natural resources of the country
formed the keynote OF Mr. Pinchots
statement. He declared himself to be
for the plain people and for their well
fare
The Tawney amendment to the last
sundry civil bill was assailed by Mr..
Pinchot as the agency through which
the cause Of conservation met severe
blow. "The Tawney amendment" the
statement read, was more than
mstake--it was deliberate betrayal
of the future"
Appeal was made to Congress 20 pre-
vent water-power sites, phosphate de-
posits on public lands and coal lands
jn Alaska from passing into the hands

Warren street. has written to Sheriff
William e. Barnes. Of Evansville, ask
ing for information
McMurran was found suffering for
the bare necessities of life. The money
was hidden in the hut he occupied in a
desolate section, and 1t is believed that
he has wealth concealed in other places.
How old the man Is cannot be stated
positively, but that he is In the nine
ties seems certain. For many years
he has lived In his shack on a hill on
the outskirts Of Evansville. and he has
been one Of the quaint characters Of
that section. When found he was in
a critical condition.
Mrs. Mosher is daughter OF Thomp-
son McAfurran, who ran away from his
home in Scotland more than fifty years
ago and came to this country. Shortly
afterward his brother Marshall also
ran away, and presumably came to
this country. His relatives never
heard from him and do not know
whether he is alive or dead
Thompson McMurran was married in
Wilmington, Del. soon after he reached
this country, and later moved to New
York. where he lived most of his life.
