THE WOLFF"
TUESDAY NIGHT
Eugene Walters Successful Play
Has Been Secured by Man
ager Wagner.

Tuesday evening, February 2S, pro-
misses to be a notable event at the City
Opera House the occasion being the
presentation of 1.-The Wolf" the play
that set all New York talking for more
than six months. "The Wolf is from
the pen of Eugene Walter, author of
several dramas, but is so different
from the usual run of plays that it
leaves a distinct impression of its own
upon the mind of the spectator. The
story and theme are new. There is an
abundance of bright dialogue, droll
humor and the pathos, and sentiment
of the play are not of the artificial sort.
The stage settings are remarkably Ella
borate and many of the scenes are so
well managed as to receive hearty
applause.
1.-THE WOLF tells a story of girl
who was betrayed and sent to her
death in the Canadian Hudson Bay
country. Her half brother seeks the
man and finds him trying to lure
another young girl to rum. 1t happens
that the half brother loves this girl,
so he takes her away, but the william
follows. The meeting of the two riv-
als-the william and the hero-makes
one of the strongest and most interest
ing scenes ever witnessed on the
American stage. The two men meet
in the dark and fight for the possession
of the girl. The audience hears the
two men as they toss and pummel
each other over the stage. Finally
there is a moan and the listeners know
that death has come to one of the fight
ers Rut which one? The moon Greens
up, and the victor strikes a match and
holds it over his victims head. Then
comes the great applause, for the right
man has been victorious and the play
has happy ending.
The piece will be presented here with
particularly strong cast and the
scenic. environments precisely the
same as those used in New York and
Chicago. Seats on sale at Riley's
to- morrow.

Council met In regular session Tues
day night with all members present
but Schunck and Myers. In the alb
sence Of Mayor Kenney, president pro
tenn. Lennartz called the meeting 10
order.
Fire Chief WeismRn spoke about the
condition Of the hangers holding the
heavy abestos curtain In the auditOri-
um Of the city building. II was put
up for fire protection only, but has
been used for general purpose, for
which Il was not intended. The mat
ter was referred TO the building COM
mittee. The Chiefs statement caused
council TO sit up and take notice, and
Mayor Kenney said II the situation
was as serious as stated Il should be
attended to at once and some remedy
made before another show or enter
tainment was held.
Reports Of the various departments
OF the city for the past month was read
and accepted.
The ordinance appropriating right Of

poses for the extension of South Buck
eye street was placed upon its first
reading.

ferred to the street committee.
p Roy Jenkins stated, on behalf Of the
agricultural extension school IN ses-
sion here last week, that they were
short Of funds, having but Sl3 in their
treasury, and wanted to know If coun-
ell would accept that amount in lieu of
Sl5, the contract price for the use of
the hall. Objector John Beiersdorfer
raised a kick about accepting that
jonah thirteen, but Lennartz and Win
keliohan put in a word for IL and could
see no particular reason for rejecting
the amount rendered by Mr.. Jenk-
ins. Mayor Kenney said he was sur
prised to hear that anything was asked
for the use of the hall. Motion to ac-
cept the Sl3 was passed.
Clerk read proposition from W. H.
Dibble to sprinkle the city's portion of
certain streets for $50. G. c. Chiving-
tons proposition of a similar nature,
laid on the table at previous meeting,
was read. The whole matter was then
laid on the table until future meet
ing owing to the absence of a couple of
the members of council.
Mayor Kenney spoke with some
warmth about the Means and Long sa-
looms and the recent fights pulled off
in them, and said il was common talk
among the people that Means and Long
were violating the Sunday closing ordi-
nance and thought something should
be done to stop violations.
Marshal Weber said he believed
Means, Long and also Kreimendahl
were doing Sunday business, but he
couldn't catch them.

TOUCHED BY LOCAL
CELEBRITY
While LabOring Under Load of
Booze, Is Allegation of Jay
County Farmer.

VIM. Schulty, well known charac-
ter about town, was lodged in the coun-
ty bastile last Saturday after hearing
in Squire Shorts court on the charge
of picking the pocket of Jay County
(Ind.) boozer giving the name of John
Kennedy and his occupation as that of
a farmer. Schulty's was bound over
to court in the sum of $500, which he
was unable to give. His guilt is cir
cumstantial.
While here taking liquor treatment
Friday Kennedy fell in with Schulty
and when he was too full to navigate
properly the latter took him to the
Reservoir Hotel to sober up. While
rendering his services to the overload
ed Kennedy it is alleged that Schulty
went into the pocket of his victim and
relieved him of Sl5.

Richard Barton, a recent convert
to suburban life, was in a whistling
mood as he dressed for dinner. It
did not take him long to don his Tux
edo. At eight o'clock he had a half
social, half-business appointment that
he felt would mean one of the best
days work In many moons. John
Krampton had, that very morning,
come within pens breadth of giving
him a check to clinch a deal for $1,000
worth of wireless stock. Krampton
was one Of those men who are led by
easy degrees to the closing Of a con-
tract. If anything happens to hasten
or postpone the psychological mo-
ment, they are likely to quit nego-
tiations altogether. Barton knew this
and now all that he needed, he felt
to put the transaction through was a
little private chat with Krampton. So
he had invited him to his home.
Amy mail, ,Henry?" he asked mis-
man, when coffee had been served.
yes, suh," responded the negro
zone letter for you, sub"
"Pshaw," muttered Barton. "If ever
you live at place six months they'll
keep sending your mail there for
the rest of your days!"
He tore open the end of the en-
velope and drew out the paper AS he
opened the dainty sheet his mock-seri-
Gus scowl changed to an expression
of genuine wonderment. Carefully he
scrutinized the handwriting At first
few curves and lines seemed fa-
miliar, but in n moment he decided
that If the sender had ever written to
him before, she had doubtless dis
guised her hand in this message. Then
he read it again:
Dear Mr. Barton; There are jewels at
the foot of every rainbow, but many peo-
pie never find them because they have no
guide to follow. But with you, lucky man,
it is different. Directions have been pre-
pared for you, and you must follow them
to the letter. The first step on the road
to happiness is toward the southeast cor
ner of Belair avenue and Terrace road at
7:30 o'clock Thursday evening Don't fail
We'll, today is Thursday, but it's
not April l." thought Barton. But
this epistle surely resembles some Of
the atrocities perpetrated on that
date. What does it mean, anyway?
Somebody is either trying to make a
Ounce of me or else some girl really
has designs on a harmless young
bachelor"
Suddenly his surmise ran in anoth-
er direction Gee Whit Maybe
there's something crooked back of it.?
But, no, that could hardly be, or this
lady wouldn't be Turing me to a light
ed corner only six blocks away from
my own home and hardly a block
from our suburban police station. Oh.
well, I'll worry about it later"
He tossed the perplexing letter on
the table and picked up a paper and
began to read But none of the head
lines seemed to interest him much
and the strange message he had just
read kept coming up between his
eyes and the printed page Provoked,
he threw down the paper and looked
at his watch. 1t was Is minutes after
Z. Then he glanced at the letter again.
Once more he read it. This time he
decided to take walk,
I've got three-quarters of an hour
and I'll chance it, anyway" he con

Opinion ON Duties
Infrmary Directors

In answer to a request from Prose-
cutting Attorney Jose. Riley, of Iron
ton, o., for an opinion on the subject,
Attorney General Hogan says that
County Infirmary Directors are en-
titled to refund from the county for
hotel and lodging expenses, as we'll as
other travelling expenses, while away
from home ON business connected with
the infirmary affairs.
He also holds that Infirmary Direc-
tors may contract with physician

firmary is located to look after some
particular case, or in the absence of
the regular physician, but this does
not hold generally.
