 The captain of the district brushed rudeIy past and sprang into his au tomobile. He waved his hand to his cha uffeur. His gesture was mistaken by pair of xeen,- restless eyes for command to his reserves to disperse the crowd.
 A pale, shabby young fellow leaped past the line of police into the open space and rushed straight for the re- serves. His long. thin arm was lifted high in the air clutching q black thing with a lighted fuse sparkling from it's crest.
 A murmur rippled through the crowd, the police stood still and stared, and the next moment the bomb exploded in the boys hand and his body lay on the stones a mangled heap of torn flesh and blood soaked rags.

POLES THEATRE

All this week the Poli Players are presenting James Selvin's version of 'fSt. Elmo,'' from the widely read book of the same name by Augusta J. Evans. ''St Elmo is a Southern TO- nance combining heart interest and quaint comedy in a pleasing and high ly entertaining manner. The story Of tie play is well known to al! Bridge port theatregoers and when it was produced here about three years ago it scored such a triumphant success that the management. besieged with re quests for it's reproduction. arranged a1 elaborate revival this week. The story centers around the eccentric St. Elmo Murray, whose reputation for heing ~sin-bIaeked man has made him feared by all who know him, ev- scenes of the play. he quarrels with and them shoots Murray Hammond, the son of the village preacher, his blacksmithss daughter.
 St. Elmo leaves home and reT1.alns away for several years, and during his Elmo returns home unexpectedly, but only for short time, and entrusts her with the key to his miniature tomb, leaving instructions for it's op ening if he fails to return again within year.
 At the end of a year he comes back only to find that she has kept his word and his faith in woman is again restored. He enters the ministry and everything ends happily. r
 For next week the Poli Players have .'Tl1e squaw Man in preparation. +'The Squaw Man is a thoroughly American play. quick beating-with red heart-b1ood of manly sincerity and self-sacrifce and it's presentation is bound to meet with the approval of all Bridgeport theatre-goers. Next Monday afternoon will be Pink Chry- chrysanthemu1n will be given to ali the ladies present.
 Patrons of the popular PoIi Stock Company will be, glad to learn that one of their old faVorites has arrived in Bridgeport to take permanent po- sition with the organization The new arrival is none other than Tom Williams, the round and jovial com edian who has played here before on several occasions and who has a wide circle of personal acquaintances and friends in this city.
 MT. Williams came direct from his long stock engagement at the Poli house in Springfield and he will open his engagement here next week, play ing Big Bill'' in the .'tSquaw Man" The role has been happily chosen for the management as it will serve as a good introduction for MT. Williams.
 Tom, he is familiarly known both within and without the play house, has been a fixture with the Po1i Stock Companies for six years. He played in Bridgeport for several summer seasons, the last occasion be- ing two years ago His signal ability as an actor coupled with his. unfail- ing good hunor and kindliness has made him a strong favorite wherever he has played, and he is especially well known and liked in this city.
 MT. Williams is widely known so- cially and in clubs and fraternaI or ganizations. Among other societies he is a prominent member of the Knights of Columbus and the Royal Area mum. His many friends will un- doubtedly welcome the comedian with enthusiasm when he makes his re- appearance on the Poli stage next week in the 'tSquaw- Man.

Romantic Marriage.

There was a measure of pleasing
romance in the recent elopement, for
| that is what 1t may be called, of Arth-
ur E. Erickson and Miss Lucille ID.
Beckett of GIG High street, very
popular young couple Of Keokuk, as
they sped away like knight of old
and his fair lady to Fort Madison, Sat
urday afternoon Of last week as fast
as speedy automobile could carry
them. Their attendants were Mr..
Charles Stevens and Miss Florence
Dimond, who it seems were partially
kidnapped, as they were not fully
aware of their destination until far on
the road to the Gretna Green, where
the interesting nuptial service was
held.
1t was four O'Clock in the afternoon
when the bridal party appeared at the
parsonage of Rev. Sheath of the Fort
Madison Baptist church and the cere-
mony was performed by that divine.
The secret of their coming marriage
was fairly well kept, but there is q
well founded suspicion that the moth
Ell of the bride and perhaps others
had reasonable suspicious that mat
rimonial breeze was blowing thrt
would likely bear the young couple
away on romantic jaunt All larse
conjectures proved correct. Tie bride
appeared unusually charming at,Ted
in a pretty messaline dress with
beaded chiffon overdress and white
lace collar.
The groom is popular young man
having prominent connection with the
Tri-State Auto and Machine compan.
and has been long time resident o.
Keol1uk. The bride is charming
young woman who in her several years
of residence here has won many warm
friends with whom she has become {
favorite. They returned home in tht
evening, and as there were no objec

ried couple went at once to the resi-
dence of the bride where they received
