COLUMBIA PLAYERS
TO OFFER ANOTHER
FARCE NEXT WEEK
Broadhurst's Great Success,
What Happened to Jones,
Is Selected.

spured on by the reception accorded
the recent production OF Before and
After" at the Columbia 1heater. the
Columbia Players have placed in re-
hearsal for next week another farce
that It Is believed will be conceded to
be even funnier than the previous one.
1t is George H. Broadhurst's memora-
BILE concoction of humor that turned
people away from the Manhattan Thea
ter in New York for over a year under
the title of What Happened to Jones"
It 10 in three acts, and in it Mr.. Broad
hurst has accomplished the achievement
of providing a farce into which there
enters not even the hint Of improperly.
In the original company were such
well-known players as George c. Boni-
face, jr., in the role OF Jones, George
ODER as the professor OF anatomy.
Ebenezer Goodly; r. F. Cotton as the
bishop. Anthony Goodly; Mrs. Mckee
Rankin as Mrs. Goodly. Anna Belmont
as Cissy, Katherine Osterman as Mar
torie, and a host Of other capable per-
formers in the many other good parts
with which the piece apounds.
In the role of Jones, the drummer for
a hymn book house, who sells playing
cards as side line, A. H. Van Buren,
will have one OF the best parts OF the
kind in which he has appeared. That
briskness and snap that adds so much
to this class OF entertainment is prom
ised in the performance.

For Campaign Publicity.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-"A law

Hey burn of Idaho, when the senate

today.
Senator Lodge of Mass sachusetts
said that the whole purpose of pub.
licity bill Is to let the public know ex-
actly what money is spent and how it
is handled; that the "theory is that
money publicly accounted for is prop.
erly spent"

To Navigate Yellowstone.

WASHINGTON, July l2.-The United
States army engineers having found.
upon examin alton, that it is advisable
to open the Yellowstone river, Mon.
tana, to continuous navigation from
its mouth to Glendive, it is incumbent
upon congress to make an appropria-
ton of s235, 900 for the construction OF
a lock in the government reclamation
dam, 20 miles below Glendive, or else
compel this work to be done by the
reclaim alton service. If the latter plan
is restored the settlers of the lower
Yellowstone project will have placed
on their shoulders an additional bur.
den OF 5000. 200, the estimated cost Of
the dam proper, while the federal gov
ernment will be required to spend only
$35 900 for removing snags from the
river channel aud for building slight
revetments, etc.
Now that the Yellowstone river has
been surveyed, with view to its i'm
provement in the interest OF navi ga
ton, it will be up to congress, when
framing the next river and harbor bill
| to determine whether this dam SHAH
be paid for by the government or by
the settlers.
