"Her Diary"

Miss Florence Turner comes back again
to us in this fine picture; we are glad
to note that her playing is just as re-
narkable as ever. 1t is a dramatic, pow
erful picture, telling the story of a
mothers heart. She had suffered and
the story is made poignant, but has a
pleasant ending.
The first scene shows us the poor
house. where the old mother receives a
note telling her that her old home is
waiting for her. 1t is a dangerous en-
pedient to tell the ending of story in
the first scene; for if that is done, the
producer is bound to hold us, if he does
hold us, by sheer force of truth and
humanity. The picture is strong in
both and holds very truly.
As the mother in her old home slowly
turns the pages of her diary the scene
again and again quietly winks into
shadow from which the dream-memory
is pictured. As this series of memory
scenes becomes dramatic, Miss Turner's
acting gets firmer and firmer grip on
us. It is a very desirable, ell-photo-
graphed picture.
It's at Dreamland.

Team Showed Largest and
Finest Body of Men.

Stockholm, July 6.-The inauguration
of the Olympic games to-day proved Il
spectacle never equalled in the history
of athletics. Not only was it beauti-
ful scene, but the solemn manner moved
the spectators deeply. The weather was
perfect. The great stadium was filled
with 10000 people of all nationalities.
The delicate colors of women's costumes
and bright uniforms OF the army officers
made a remarkable picture. When the
members of the Swedish royal family
entered galy decorated, all present stood
with barred heads and gave the Swedish
cheer. A call blown by corps of trum
peters announced the opening of the
games. Large groups of singers then
started the Swedish national hymn,
joined by many spectators. As the ath
letic teams entered the area, each ma
tional delegation gave noisy display OF
patriotism. After the arrival of delega
tions of Sweden, Norway and Denmark

CALEDONIA COUNTY COURT.
Jury Excused Until August-0nly Few
More Cases.

st. Johnsbury, July 6.-The jury in
tie present term of Caledonia county
court were excused until the 10th of Au-
gust, at which time it is thought that
they may be recalled to try some gases
pending, on behalf of the state. There
was nothing ready for them at this time
and most of them were anxious to get
home for haying.
The last case to be tried by jury
was that of the State VS.. Fred LaPlant
of Hardwick, charged with adultery with
one Sadie Horner. The jury returned
a verdict fixing the guilt of the accused
and the information filed against Mrs.
Horner was then taken up and she plead
ed guilty without trial. 1t appears that
both these parties have children and that
Mrs. Horner was keeping house for La
Plant. They are poor people and it was
thought best to allow them to go on
bail until later, with the understanding
that they are not to live together, that
LaPlant Is to provide a home for them
and when such time as they legally
may; it is understood that they wish
to marry. Bail was fixed at S400 each
and if at any time their conduct becomes
suspicious and questionable, the sentence
will be imposed. At present the cases
stand on bail and continued for SEN
tence
Byron Downing, young man about
twenty years Of age was arraigned on
the charge Of grand larceny, having stol-
en- horse and carriage, it is alleged.
He pleaded guilty and will receive his
sentence later.
1t is likely that the court work will
cease after hearing few more divorce
cases and will take a recess until Au-
gust 10, about Monday or Tuesday.

Has Nothing to Say After Con-
ference With Backers
PERKINS AND DIXON THERE
Colonel Says in Kansas Roosevelt Sup
porters Are the Republican 0rganiza-
tion and Will Name Roosevelt
Electors on Regular Ticket.

Oyster Bay, n Y, July e,--Several of
Colonel Rooseyelt's aides gathered at
Sycamore hill last night for a conference
about which there was some mystery.
The colonel was in the midst of a tennis
game when Medill Mccormick of Chi
cago, Senator Dixon of Montana and
George w. Perkins and George X. Stod-
dard of New York arrived. The game
ended abruptly and Colonel Roosevelt
made his way to the house,
When he was asked in regard to the
conference, the colonel was unusually
reticent. I'D rather not say anything
about it," he said.
c. j. Hamlin of Buffalo, whom Colonel
Roosevelt described as leader OF the
Roosevelt progressives in Buffalo, was
also here yesterday.
The former president said that his
platform would be ready in week or
so. He had received letters, he con.
tinued, from several men who were
prominent in his campaign for the Re-
publican presidential nomination and
were reported to have left him since the
Chicago convention. They told him, he
said, that they were with him, despite
reports to the contrary. He thought
that Others who have "fopped" had acted
prematurely and that before long some
of them would want to come back again.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that some confu-
sion has been caused by misinterpreta
tion in statements OF supporters Of his
that they saw no need of new party.
That did not mean. he asserted, that
they had forsaken him.
''In Kansas, for instance he said
they take the stand that the Roosevelt
supporters are the Republican organiza-
tion. and there is no reason for abandon
ing it, They will simply name Roosevelt
electors on the regular Republican tick
ct"
"Do you mean that the Republican
of some states will coop
crate with the new party?"
81 don't know" Colonel Roosevelt re
piled. Each state will settle that for
itself"

ter TO President Taft is on the verge of

that anything will, save as it may lend
