KN0N TO RETIRE

PITTSBURG, Oct. 22.-Secretary cf
State Kuoxs personal organ, the Pitts
burg Dispatch, in an authorized state
ment this morning announces that Mr..
Knox will retire permanently from pub
lie life on March 4. no matter what the
result of the election.
He will adhere to his determination,
says the announcement, unless dead
lock in the election of a president or
president should occur, which
would cause the duties of acting presi-
dent to devolve upon him until the
deadlock is solved. Mr.. Knox would
not evade this responsibility, but if an
election is secured on November he
will retire TO private life with the
present administration, after II years
in the public service as senator and
cabinet officer"

This war is likely to be bitter

ed material for the children and the
adults. These books were deposited in
the Seeley postoffice and will be in
charge of Mrs. Ferguson, the postmis

expected to be placed in the school dis
trict there was combined with the
regular deposit station and this one
station will serve all purposes.
The children are free TO come and
get their books and as everyone comes

special book any one wants. give the
name of the book to Mrs. Ferguson
and books will be sent out each
month corresp onding to the list.
Every resident in ana near Seeley

that is necessary is to sign an appli-
cation blank and a card will be issued
to YOU by Mrs. Ferguson. Two books
may be drawn at one time, one fiction
and one nOn-fiction. Books may be
kept two weeks except new books
which are seven days. A fine of two
cents will be charged for all overtime
books.
Every resident of Seeley and near
Seeley will have the use of the books
at the state library. If there is any
espe cial technical book or expensive
book which you feel that you cannot
buy, let Mrs. Ferguson know what the
book is and she in turn will send TO
the county free library at FL Centre
and if the book is not in the county Sc
lection. the county librarian will send
to the state library at Sacramento.
The hours for taking books will be
the same as the postoffice hours-S a.

 Tie sheW is another one of those slap stick eomedi S, where foolish ness reigns supreme and action counts. Like all of Mort Singer E attractions "The Flirting Princess. is we'll staged and lacks nothing in elaborateness and number. But there Was little quality to the t,uan- lity of last evening, for not one good voice, outside of that of the star, Harry Bulge}, Was presented. Bulger, himself, has no great voice to rave about, but the manner and speed in which he sings his two numbers please and his original lines usually get him a good hand. In fact, ne was forced to respond to several curtain calls after his second nHm- ber and told the audience a funny story about a Earten1er back in his home town-zanesville, Ohio
 There is no plot to the piece which is not unusual for {: musical show@and had it not been for the hard working chorus girls it is doubtful if the entire audience would have stayed it out. Miss Gretchen Hal tman is evidently a young W. man Of considerable talent, but she worked under difficulties last night because of a severe cold thst kept her vocal work on the low notes De- spite this fact she got away with two exceptionally clever numbers, aIha Cutanela Glide and hen little Ges man tak9-off. Miss Dale Fuller, whose work is similar to that of Matel Hite, does some funny stunts, but she ealnnot sing. "The Turkey Trots dance Was really the feature of me performance. It was the first time the rag step" has been seen here and the audience took to it. "Tfe Flirting Princess" has some catchy music but the company failed to do ii justice.

IMPERIAL DANCERS
 HERE MONDAY NIGHT
Flattering Press Notices Being Given Attraction That Comes to the
 Elks Theater Next Week.

Manager Hill has secured the lm- peral Russian Dancers for a special engagement at the Elks Theater next Monday night, Jan. 19. This company, according to Manager Hill, carries q special orchestra of 20 pieces, and the reports from ecah and every town ae- coTding to the newspaper criticisms received are fiattering. Below is what the Pensacola (Fla.) Journal has to say of the Production.
 Undoubtedly the most enthusiastic c audience lJf the season enjoyed the Imperial Russian Dancers at the oD- era house last night, sCeppelia, an1 the dances which followed, being the finest things of the sort waich have been seen in Pensacola.
 To attempt to criticise the produc- tion as a whole, With it's perfect art and harmony, it's delicious acting and dainty, delicate charm, would be al- most a hopeless task, for the great orchestra, the snappy, agile ballet and the special dancers are all that any artist can demand
 "There is not person among the Russian dancers, ill fact, who is not an artist to his finger tips.
 One of tie most interesting char actors is Alexander V9linine. A hand some youth of superb grace and eX- quisite technique Volinine is proving the sensation of the season. Few male dancers ever have achieved popularity in this country and Volinine's triumph is based on artistic worth founded upon a striking manly personality. His dancing partner is pretty Halina Sclmolz. Pavf0Wa's principal sup porting assistant last season, and one of the most beautiful young women in the chonographic world
 The prices will not be raised al- though the advance agent fought foc three hours to make the entire lower floor advanced to $2.50 and $200, but owing to the way that the focal pat rons patronized "EyeryW Man- ager Hill secured the attraction att $200 and $1.50.

Those who wonder why the Pine Bluff Fire Department is so efficient and prevent big conflagrations when they appear imminent, should have been in the vicinity of Fire Depart ment No. 1 last night and watched the men under the direction of Fire Chief A. c. Breiner ill practice work. The fire boys performed numerous feats of deXter'ty in scaling the two- story walls of the city hall, coupling and uncoupling hose and doing other stunts, the knowledge and execution of which are necessary when a tall building is in flames. The boys go through their practice work in earn est and it is interesting to watch them while in action.
