TWO GOOD SHOWS.

Since our last issue, the theatre
goers of this city have witnessed 3
splendid performances-two nights
performance by the Frank Dudley
Co., and one by Coburn's Minstrels.
Both attractions brought good hous-
es. Friday night, Frank Dudley, sup
ported by a clever lot of good play
ers played the laughable comedy,
Hello Bill" Saturday night the play
was the "the New Steward" a CON-
edy drama. If anything, the company
is stronger than ever before, and
pleased their large audiences more
than any show that comes to Hick-
man
Coburn's Minstrels was also well
attended and highly appreciated in
Tuesday nights engagement. They
travel in a special car, carry a big
lot of scenery, a fine band and or
chestra. There are about 25 people
in the company, all artists in their
line. The gross receipts were in the
neighborhood of 5000
Dillon & Cox, managers of the Lyr-
ic, are to be congratulated on the
class of shows they are bringing to
Hickman nova days, and the increas-
ed attendance is a token of apprecia-
ton of their efforts in this line.

TAKING CITY CENSUS.

A. Z. Kennedy has been employed
by the members of the Elk lodge to
take a census of the city of Hickman
to ascertain whether or not the pop
ulation of the town is large enough
to get charter for a local Elks
lodge. This lodge forbids local lodges
being established in towns of less
than 5000 population. There is little
doubt that Hickman has the popula-
ton, but owing to the fact that there
has been no official census taken
since 1900, ii is necessary TO make
another count.
Mr.. Kennedy started on his task
Monday, and at this time he thinks
the outlook good for considerable
over 5000.
Upon this depends the organization
of the lodge.
Upon the organization of the lodge
depends w. A. Dodds' plan of erect
ing fine three-story brick building
on the lots now occupied by his lum-
Der office, the second and third floors
of which will be used by the Elks
and the first floor by Mr.. Dodds.
Hickman certainly needs some kind
of an organization that will give the
young men reading and club rooms,
and this is one of the Elk lodge
specialties.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.

The little six-months-old baby boy
of Mr.. and Mrs. Otis Townsend, re-
siding miles south of town on the
Troy road. met a horrible death last
week.
The little fellow was in his high
chair near the old fashion fire place,
Saturday morning about ten O'Clock,
when the mother stepped out of the
room for a few minutes. While she
was out the child turned the chair
over some way, falling into the bed
of Goals in the CRATE, and horribly
burning the face, hands and shout
ders. The clothing also caught fire
and added 10 the severity of the
wounds. DR.. Jno. Prather. of Wood
land Mills, was hastily summoned.
but could not relieve the little ones
suffering, and he died Sunday night
at 10 O'Clock Burial took place at
Poplar Grove Monday afternoon.
These good people certainly have
the profound sympathy OF their many
friends in the loss OF their babe.

WANT BETTER ROADS.

One thousand farmers, In the inter
est of good roads, are preparing to
go into the city of Mayfield Thurs
day, Feb, "a, and will march to the
court house, where the fiscal court
will be in session on that day. The
purpose is TO ask the court TO take
immediate action In the way Of build
ing gravel roads. The farmers offer
to meet the county half way-that is,
pay half of the expense in work and
subscription. There will be a num-
Der Of speeches made by the leading
farmers OF the county, and the dem
onstration will be for the purpose or
disclosing the fact that the farmers
mean business and to induce the
court to take some action. In the
past years the fiscal court would do
practically nothing toward building
better roads except TO grade them.
But it has been demonstrated that
this is useless and has to be repeat

POWERS MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT

]. M. Powers, superintendent of

his annual report to the board of
school directors.

of the school during the past year
have doubled, and that, naturally,
also, the teaching force and the ex-
pense Of the school has doubled. it
further shows that the pay roll for
the ensuing year will be about $780,
600, and the Incidental expenses
about $4,000.
1t is recommended that some finan-
cial report be submitted to the board
each month, so that the members can
keep in touch with the various funds,
and be enabled at all times to take In
telligent action
Superintendent Powers further
states in his report that the increase
Of salaries OF the teachers, and the
raising of qualifications both go into
effect this year.. and believes that II
will add materially to the efficiency of
instruction. He also commends the
board in its employment OF two re-
lief teachers for the principals, as II
will give them more time to super
wise the courses of instruction given

Whatever the individual or public
opinion may be as to Clifford Pinchot,
and Clifford Pinchot's theories of
conservation, one can hardly fail to
see that he is a man of ;trong con-
victions and is not at all timid about
expressing them. Recently in dis
cussing politics he expressed himself
upon the tendency of the Interests ?
rather than the people to run the
country as follows.
All monopoly rests on the uu-
regulated control of natural re-
sources. Such control by special in
terests is impossible without the help
of politics. The alliance between
business and politics is the most
dangerous thing in our political life.
1t is the snake that we must kill.
The special interests must get out
of politics, or the American people
will put them out of business.
Because the special interests are
in politics, we as a nation have lost
confidence in congress. This is a
serious statement, but it. is true. 1t
does not apply, of course, to the
congressman who are making so fine
fight for the conservation of self
government.
But in the meantime the people of
the United States believe that, as a
whole, the Senate and the House no
longer represent the voters by whom
they were elected, but the special in
terests by whom they are controlled.

to increase the cost of living. The
wool schedule, processing to protect
the wool-growers, is found to result
in sacrificing grower and consumer
alike to one Of the most rapacious of
trusts.
The, cotton cloth schedule was in
creased in the face of the uncon-
tradicted public testimony of the
manufacturers themselves that 1t
ought to remain unchanged.
The steel interests, by trick, Sc
cured an indefensible increase in the
tariff on structural steel.
The sugar trust stole from the gov
ernment like a petty thief, yet Con-
gress, by means of a dishonest
schedule, continues to protect it in
bleeding the public.
At the very. time the duties on
manufactured rubber were raised,
the leader of the Senate, in company
with the Guggenheim syndicate, was
organizing an international rubber
trust, whose charter made it also a
holding company for the coal and
copper deposits of the whole world.
For a dozen years the demand of
the nation for the pure food and
drug bill was outweighed in Congress
by the interests which asserted their
right to poison the people for a
profit.
Political platforms are not sincere
statements of what the leaders of q
party really believe, but rather forms
of words which those leaders think
they can get others to believe they
believe. All this the people realize
and they are now ready to act on
their knowledge.
Some of the men who are respons-
ible for the union of business and
politics may be profoundly honest,
but more of them are not. Many of
the old-style leaders regard the
political truths which will hereafter

MARION COUNTY
GRAND JURY
is AT WORK

The grand jury for the July term
of the circuit court convened this
morning and after reporting to
Judge Burnett for it's instruction
this forenoon commenced the consid-
GRAFTON of the cases to come before
this afternoon at 1 o'clock. While
the jury, in addition to acting upon
all cases bound over to it for con-
sideration, will also take action. with
relation to number of matters of
its own volition-the nature of
which are unknown-the work for
the term will be comparatively light.
Consider Perry Case.
The first case taken up by the
jury this afternoon was that of the
state of Oregon against Frank Perry.
who is charged with an attempt to
violate the person of eight-year-old
Hattie Brazil. The evidence against
Perry is strong, and in addition to
it, he made a statement which will
operate against him, and it is pre-
dicted a true bill will be returned
against him.
other Cases to Be Considered.
The next case to be considered is
that of the state against Jack Whit
ZACH, who is charged with the mali
cious destruction of personal prop
erty, which is alleged to consist in
the shooting, of dog belonging to
Elmer Savage. Mr. Whitlach is one
of the city's patrolmen.
Following it will come the case Of
the state against Mckee, who is
charged with selling liquor to an
Indian, and after it the jury will
proceed to examine the evidence of
the state in its case against Goode,
charged with rape.
The next case on the grand jury
program is that of the state against
Burton, who is charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
and after it is disposed of, it will
take up the case of the state against
Larsen, charged with the stealing of
a horse.
The last of the bound over cases
to be acted upon will be the case Of
Helen Johnson, colored lady, who
is charged with robbing a Chinaman
by the name of Ching Sing OF $3S.
