"NO6lE OuTCAST" THE BILL

The Mankato Commercial College
Dramatic club will present "A Noble
Outcast," powerful four-act drama
written by John A. Fraser, at the
Mankato Theater on February 1.
This play has ever since it's first
production in 1883, proven one Of the
most successful dramas ever written.
1t enjoyed long run in England,
several months of the time in Lon
don, and has had delighted audiences
in New York, Chicago, and in fact,
all the principal cities OF this cOun-
try. The author now for the first
time allows it to be printed from the
original manuscript.
The play is founded on an older
piece "Jocrissc, the Juggler" which
has been practically obsolete for
many years II is safe TO say that in
the whole range of the drama there
is no character to be found with
such power to compel alternate
laughter and tears as is shown by
Jerry, the tramp. The dramatic in-
terest is intense, the appeal to the
sympathy of the human heart power
full. and the comedy is as refined as
it is successful in moving the audi
cnce to laughter.

sorting HankoW.

Picking, Jan. 25.-The weekly ex-
press from Hankow was crowded with
refugees. These included college pro-
fessors, the Italian minister, minor
diplomats and persons Of means who
are able to flee on short notice.
The bubonic plague, which had its
first victim here several days ago, and,
il is believed, many since then, has
caused the outpouring through the
gates of the city. Even military Of
ficers joined the departing throngs
AS matter of official record no new
cases of bubonic plague in Picking
were reported, but the opinion is held
at the legations that the Chinese, fear
ing the foreign doctors and the sum-
mary destruction of the dead, are not
reporting illness of any sort and pos
sibly are secreting the bodies. In
deed, the mortality reports in Picking
have become infnitesimal since the
authorities enlisted the services Of
foreign physicians, who at once began
carrying out sanitary measures along
modern lines.
Masses Much Agitatcd.
The newspapers are supporting the
government in its efforts to allay
fears. The masses, nevertheless, are
much alarmed by gruesOme reports.
such as one alleging that the Russians
at Hardin are casting the afflicted
into poisoned wells This story, per-
haps, developed from the possible use
of lime pits for the dead.
The diplomatic body has not been
able to agree on the manner in which
the legation quarter should be quar-
antined. The Germans. Austrians and
British are behind the barred gates of
their own compounds and are advo-
eating drastic measures. The Japan
csc, who have the largest ommunity
outside of the quarter and perhaps the
most pressing general interests to be
looked after in Peking, are supported
by the Russians in arguing the neces-
sity of continuing diplomatic relations
with the Chinese foreign board.
William j. Calhoun, the American
minister, has adopted middle course,
He has suggested keeping within the
quarter all the guards and the ex-
clusion of the Chinese, except such
officials as have business with the le-
cations.

 posed of By Chance

Washington, April 12-Mention of the biennial seat lottery in the House by one of several visitors in Champ Cfark's office led the Speaker to re- late his experience; tale that un- doubtedly gives him the record for favorable location on the House floor.
 At the opening of a new Congress seats, with a few favored exceptions, are awarded by lot. The exceptions are one-legged members, floor leaders of each party, former Speakers and a couple of old-time members who are given first choice. Then small, num- bered balls each number representing a Congressman. are placed in a box and withdrawn one at a time. The name of Congressman is called as each number is drawn and he is enti- tied to take any unoccupied seat. Members massed in the lobby waiting for their names to be called are most ly in a state of great excitement. "In the first Congress of which serving his ninth term, 'I was the first one named to take a seat on the Democratic side.

 ''In the fourth Congress I was again the first Democrat called and in the next Congress I had fairly good seat.

 They started the roller out first on the adoption of the new House rules. and it left a flattened path of Repub licans in it's wake. They called it into use to increase the Democratic majority on the committees. Engin- eers are now oiling it up for another ride over the Republicans on tariff revision.

'GENERAL STUFFv' MUST RIDE Gen. Wood Orders His Staff Out fol
 Session on Horseback

Washington. April 12-Following the example of his former chief and pa tron, President Roosevelt, Maj. Gen. Wood, head of the army, has ordered the members of his staff to prepare to take a long ride with him. This or der is due to a black eye recently disfiguring one of his young officers, which led to the suspicion that the members of the general staff were not as proficient in horsemanship as desir- able.
 Major Johnson Hagood is responsi- ble. He is the legislative expert of the general staff He was recently promoted to the rank of Major and has served only with the coast and field artillery arms of the service, never having had mount. It is a rule of the army, however, that off cers of the rank of major and higher. whatever their service, shall be mounted.
