las You Like IT,"

The recital of the beautiful Shakes
pearian comedy, GAS You Like It,"
on last Friday night at the gymnasium
of the Y. M. &. A. by Mrs. Hannibal
A. Williams, of Cambridge, New York,
was one Of the most enjoyable enter
tainments ever given in this city. 1t
was rare treat Cor intellectual people
that is not to be enjoyed every day.
There are very few such reciters as
Mrs. Williams ana she handles the
matter IN hand in a masterful way.
She not only knows the language of
the comedy but gives the very spirit of
the play to the audiences She imperson-
ates ell the characters well and
acts Rosalind in beautiful way. The
people who have an interest in Shakes
peare and who did not attend missed a
great treat.
There was some fine music between
the acts. Miss Bessie Gard played a
very enjoy able selection on the piano
and Messrs Harry Grove, Leon Ware,
Frank d. Steger and DR.. K. b. Geye
sang several very enjoyable songs.i
The recital was decided success
excepting in the way Of attendance.
Our people of cource are sufficiently
cultivated to appreciate good recital
of good Shakesperan play but they
did not show it on this occasion. The
admittance was so cents and the man
ayers came out behind.
We are especially sorry for this be-
cause the High school library was to
have been the beneficiary.
Supt. Morton of the city schools has
requested this paper to publish the
following card of thanks in connection
with the notice of Mrs. Williams re-
cital:
We desire to take this means OF eX-
pressing our sincere thanks to the new
papers of the city for the liberal use of
their columns, to those lwho worked
so earnestly and faithfully for the
success of the Shakesperian recital last
night, and 10 those who encouraged
us by their presence.
While the entertainment was not a
success financially, we feel that the
loss in this respect is fully offset by
the splendid character of entertain
ment given by Mrs. Williams and our
local talent. 1t was very gratifying to
have more than forty Of the students
of the High School present.

City Politics

There has been a movement on loot
for the past week or two inaugurated
by some of the good citizens OF the
town looking toward a citizens ticket
this spring for mayor and city council.
Several meetings have been held and
we are informed that a meeting has
been called for Thursday night at
the Firemen's hall for the purpose OF
nominating full ticket. We have been
unable TO ascertain any information as
to the probable personale of the ticket.
There has been a movent on foot amc ng
these citizens to persuade the old par
ties from making any nominations on
the old party lines but the republican
city committee met on Monday night
last and passed resolutions denounc-
ing the democratic administration OF
the city affairs and pledged themselves
against the proposed Citizens move
ment.
The democrats have made no move
ment yet Id the matter but they 100
will probably nominate a ticket Tor
they cannot afford to let the republl-
cans to run away with the city.

VIII Roosevelt Help the Insurgents
When He Gets Home?

Ray Stannard Baker, writing In the
April American Magazine, makes a
few prophesls about "rhe Impending
Roosevelt that national hero
returns from Africa. Writes Mr.. Baker
at is safe to say, then, that Roose-
welt will feel the pulse of the country
pretty carefully at Oyster Bay
before he acts. He will have all
sorts of people to talk to him; he will
see many newspapers and magazines.
And when hedoes speak he will speak
with the voice of the people that Is, If
we can judge his future by the acts of
his past
"And the people in this country are
Progressive politically: they are Insur-
gent against the old party rule-agsinst
Aldrichism and Cannonlsm. They are
for more direct government by the
people, and for better governmental
control of wealth. There are no two
opinions about this. And Roosevelt is
also Progressive, by temperament,
by conviction and as political policy.
Not long before his administration
closed Congressman Gardner of Mas
sachusetts, headed small committee
to see Mr. Roosevelt and ask him If he
could not help the progressives in
their fight on the Cannon rules in the
House, Congressman Gardner is SON
in-law of Senator Lodge. The President
said to him:

The Swope Case.

! The visit of Col. T. Ashby Milton,
counsel FOR Mr.. Elmer Swope in the
famous Swope case, at Kansas City,
has revived the talk on the subject here.
The notion that Mr.. Swope has no case
is entirely erroneous. The facts are that
he has a most excellent case and that
he will probably recover large part
If not all of the entire estate as the le-
gal heir of the deceased millionair.
! There seems to be so much mystery
i'll the swope family .and its eonnec-
tions that il need not be surprising to
the people of Martinsburg to see Ell
mer Swope a millionaire in the windup
Of the affair.
! Elmer Swope was brought here b y
his aunt, Mrs. Hugh A. Frazer, when
he was a very small boy and was rails
| ed by her He was said to ne an orphan
but mob ody here ever knew anything
about his antecedents. He was kept
here and never, as far as we can learn
had any communications with his
relatives away from here. From all
! accounts there was just as much mys-
terry surrounding Col. Swope. He
seems to have come to the surface at
Kansas City some time about the be-
ginning of the war between the states
and no enc can learn anything about
his early life He had a brother in
Kansas City who raised a family and
it is his children who are fighting over
the estate. DR.. Hyde, who married a
niece of Col Swope, a daughter of the
brother before mentioned, is accused
and has been indicted for the the MUIR
der of Col. Swope by poison and is
charged with killing ChrismaD Swope
brother of his wife. The mother of
Mrs. Hyde, is ready to testify against
Hyde and the whole gang is in a
merry mess. The conduct has been
so outrageous that the people of that
place, we are informed are so disguised
decided sentiment in favor of Elmer
Swope.
1t is said that before his death Col .
Swope went to several of the best law
yers of Kansas City and asked them to
write his will with the plainly express
ed provision that if any one should
| turn up after his death claiming to be
his child that the executor was in
stricted to pay one dollar and that was
all he was to get. Three reputable law
| yers Of Kansas City are ready to testi-
| fly that he made such an application
to them and that they had refused to
write such a clause in the will aud
| that he became offended and left them
There is an affida Wit in the hands of
the Mr. Paxton, the executor of the
estate made by Col. Swope to the same
effect and filed among his papers and
never married why was he SO anxious
10 forestall any such contingency?
There was no one accusing Col. Swope
| of ever being married and his action
rouses a strong suspision Of something
wrong and that he must have been
consciousof having child somewhere.
There Is one thing certain that Ell
mer Swope has case enough to tie up
the estate and sufficient ground to
make strong fight. If the Kansas
City claimants will hold their breath
until they get in possession OF the es-
tate they will be short on wind.
