 OIL UPON THE WATERS

Peoria, Ill.,, February 21.-Unheralded in any manner, National President Thomas L. Lewis of Indianapolis ap- peared at the convention of United Mine Workers of Illinois here today and in an earnest address answered charges of side stepping" as preferred by leaders of the Illinois delegation last week.
 He influenced the convention to re- consider the action of last Thursday y in declaring for an interstate confer ence with the operators and advised them to accept the joint state confer ence proposition as pronounced by the latter.
 As a result of President Lewis ac- tien this resolution was adopted:
 Tt is the sense of this convention that 1t will meet the Illinois operators In joint convention for the purpose of reaching an agreement on internal diff ferences and that the district officials be authorized to arrange such confer ence as early as possible"
 Messages were immediately directed to officials of the Operators association informing them of the plan for confer ence.

A Gentleman From Mississippi..

"A Gentleman From Mississippi was played at the Jefferson theatre last night for the opening performance of re- turn engagement, which will include a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight. This really excellent play is acted by a company of superior merit. Robert A. Fischer, Hans Robert and the same company which appeared at the Jeff ferson theatre in January are to be seen again by local theatregoers, who should not miss an opportunity to witness one of the most delightful and amusing dramas of contemporary life in Washington which has been put on the stage in recent years. The play Is a satire on politics and is rich in distinctive American humor. The ac- tion is pointed and the characters are drawn as well as acted in vigorous fash ion. "A Gentleman From Mississippi is well worth seeing more than once, and to those who have not seen the play al- ready it will prove a treat. It is alto- gether wholesome and genuinely enter taining throughout. The engagement will be concluded with the performance to- night.
