RUNNING A THEAIER
IN ONE NIGHT STANDS
One of the Many Tribulstions OF I'm
presario George Kirkland.

About IL o'clock last night Manager
George Kirkland of the Eiks theater
called up The Republican and stated
that he desired to be set right with
the public. or that portion of 1t which
had set its heart on seeing and hear
ing Ellen Beach Yaw last night. For
some reason unknown to Mr.. Kirkland
at midnight. Miss Yaw and her en-
courage had failed to report at the
theater and doubtless had failed to ar
rive in town or Mr. Kirkland would
have knswn something about it.
He was quite disappointed when the
late trains yesterday brought nobody
that looked like Miss Yaw, and Mr..
Kirkland then wired to the booking
agent for information. In due season
he received a reply that Miss Yaw was
so far as he knew. ready to fulfill her
engagement last night. Mr.. Kirkland
was then sure he hadn't got mixed in
his dates and possessed himself of pa
thence awaiting the outcome of events.
He thought the company would come
struggling in on a late train or a spe-
cial. or at least send him a telegram.
Meanwhile the patrons who had
bought tickets were filling the opera
house and others who were a bit late
were flocking around the box office.
The ticket seller broke his right arm
taking in the money and began reach
ing for il with the left As time passed
the audience showed signs of uneasi-
ness. II became apparent to Mr.. Kirk
land that he would have to do some
thing. The thought of passing back all
the coin the ticket sellers had been
striving so hard to assemble. threw him
into a congestive chill. but as soon as
he recovered he told the good people
to file out and touch the cashier as they
went by. When the money was all
gone he closed the shutters. telephoned
The Republican and poked off home
with his disposition turned inside out.

take a curve too rapidly McMickin
wrecked the auto and both he and
Cakes were killed.
The letter is -ritten bv a brother
of Scriops. who says that from va
rious scraps of information il has
been adduced that McMiCkin once
lived near Dallas. Texas. leaving
home twelve years ago to make his
own living. Diligent inquiry through
that part of Texas has failed to re-
suit in the discovery of any relative.
Two or three days ago the postcard.

that the writer may know something
about the dead chauffeur.
