ScHRANk PLEADS GUILTY.
Man Who Shot Colonel Roosevelt to be
Examined BY Lunacy Commission.

Milwaukee, Wisdom Schrank on
Tuesday pleaded guilty of attempting
to murder Theodore Roosevelt and in
his plea he sought to distinguish be-
tween an assault upon Roosevelt as a
menace" and an attack upon Roose-
welt as a citizen.
Municipal Judge A. G. Brackus an.
nounced upon reading petition of
District Attorney Winifred c. Seabel
that he would name later commission
to examine into Schrank's mental con.
dition. Less than $50 persons listened
to the proceedings and watched the
small, compact form of Schrank as he
stepped slowly to the bar and entered
his plea. OF this number twenty were
detectives and hat score deputy
sheriffs who watched closely all per.
sons in the room not known to them.

Elegant in it's simplicity was
the pretty home wedding which
was celebrated last night at 8
o'clock at the residence of Mr..

The improvised altar in green
and white was built in the living
room, and extended out on either
side of it were palms and other
greenry. AT each side of the
altar were tall white columns on
which were jardinieres filled
with cut flowers. A canopy of
smilaX over the altar and a very
handsome white rug leading up
to it made very effective setting
for the pretty service.
Preceding the ceremony, Miss
Carol Edwards played "Rustling
of the Leaves" and for the en-
trance of the bride and bride
groom Miss Edwards and Miss

her veil was caught beneath a lit
tie cap edged with lilies of the
valley.
Following the ceremony, a
wedding supper was served in
the dining room which was beau
tifully and artistically arranged
with a pink and white color
scheme prevailing. The table
was laid with an elegant Batten'

by pink candies, roses and smi

seems to place considerable
stress upon what the Cimarron
Jacksonian says. Seems to us
that these 81 think so too" peo-
pie never count for much. We
believe in everyone fighting his
own battles.
No, the Triads never won a
game away from home for the
reason that they were a town
team, organized late in the seas
on, and only played the two
games away from home, both
with Greensburg, and lost both
games, but they have made no
fuss about their defeat. Our
high school team holds the
championship of the Southwest.
We wait to hear the record made
by the Greensburg high school
team.
AS to the mem bers of both our
basket ball teams, they are gen.
tlemen, everyone of them, we
have never known of an act to
the contrary charged to any one
of them and they would not stoop
so low and pick up as little as
victory gained from either the
Greensburg or the Cimarron
team, which they had to gain by
foul play, Any coward can
stand victory and praise, but it
takes brave man to stand de-
feat and persecution.
We would suggest that the
Greensburg team adopt croquet
for past-time during the summer
months, and in the fall take up
ping pong. These games will
beless apt to endangertheir lives,
and since we feel confident that
neither of our teams will care to
indulge in such childish play,
the little Greensburg boys will
not be again doomed to defeat at
the hands of either of our teams.
Now in conclusion we want to
concede to our friend a right, sell
dom conceded by woman to that
being known as man, and that is,
the right to the last word. We
have said our say. Our time is
too precious, our space too yalu-
able, and printers ink, at ten
cents per pound, tooexpensive to
waste. If our friend has any
space to waste or needs any fill
ing perhaps he will have more to
say. So far as The News is con-
cerned, the incident is closed.

"Unpronounceable"

SAPAOAAOAAANS ADAO
The News is edited by WON
an with an unpronounceablt
name which altogether mlsrep
resents her high and enviable
character, therefore we bow al
her shrine with all Difference,
lay aside all malice, and only re-
fer to the above by calling at
tention of the News to the fact
that she overlooked the story of
ancient parentage, about the
cross-eyed man cutting hoop
poles in Posey county Ind, who
while cutting one pole used his
cross eye IN locating another one.
But the oss.eyedsport writer"
of the signal while attending to
one job of cleaning up, last week,
was not looking for another, but
one was handed to him without
using that handy eye. We all
ways we're bashful and could say
but little in the presence of wo-
man kind, and we do not have to
forbear. We only reproduce be-
low clipping from the Jackso-
MAN about the "gentlemanly"
game handed the Clmarron boys
at Meade; it speaks for it's self

ing to the fact that they have

From the above analysis, we
hardly think our friend used the
correct adjective in the first SEN

cannot refrain from thinking of
the awful plight we would be in,
were the first statement of our
friend IS able (?) article true-"an
unpronounceable name" This
word must have. originated in
"Posey County, Ind" for we
fail to find such a word-unpro-
nounceable-in our dictionary.
For the enlightenment of the
mind of our friend we will pro-
nounce this ''unpronounceable
name" for him.
Our name is spelled WehrIe
and the h is treated in the same
manner as the h in honesty and
honor, so if our friend knows
anything about either, he will
have no further trouble in pro-
nouncing our "unpronounceable
name" For the past twenty-five
years this name has been known
in Western Kansas, strange our
friend has never heard it pro.
nounced.
AS for "the story of the cross
eyed man from Posey County

any thing to do with the fair de-
feat of the Greens6urg basket

for the statement, "while attend

THE NEW LYRIC

The big audience which, despite the
bad weather conditions. f1ocked to
Manager Ishams beautiful theatre
yesterday, were enraptured with the
excellence of the presentation of ",The
Spendthrift," by the Frank Carpenter
Stock company and the universal opin-
ion seemed to be that this was the
best and most attractive of all the
splendid offerings which Mr.. Carpen-
ter has provided. Nothing but praise
Of the most enthusiastic sort could be
heard after the matinee and evening
performances, as the audiences left
the theatre, and during the progress
of the play, all sat riveted in closest
attention upon the unfolding of the
thrilling romances which the play re-
vealS.
For there are two ronances in the
play. One of them, Of course, is that
of Richard and Francis Ward which
provides the serious side of the story;
the other is that of Monty Ward.
Richards brother, and Claricein which
occurs some of the most delicious com
edy ever presented upon the local
stage They are both enjoyable, from
either standpoint, and 1T is somewhat
difficult at times to tell which is up
perlnost in the affections of the peo-
pile. But it takes both of them to
make up one of the most delightful
dramatic offerings ever seen in
bridgeport, ana certainly the nneSt or
all the excellent attractions Mr.. Car
penter has offered to the patrons Of the
new Lyric.
1t is difficult to realize wherein the
Carpenter company could be excelled
in their rendition of this charming of
fering Certainly Miss Cleveland
makes g. most attractive heroine, and
Mr.. CONFESS could not be improved up
ON in the role of the husband. Mr..
Devine and Miss Carpenter are simply
ideal in their respective interpretations
Of Monty and Clarice, and Miss
Gretchen has all the elements of a
Suffern Thorne, and Mr.. Williams as
Philip, Richards friend, are at all
times fully equal to all requirements
| the play is beyond criticism What
more could anyone wish in the line of
dramatic amusement, and when one
takes into consideration the absurdly
| low prices at which all this pleasure
Is to be enjoyed, there is really moth
ing left for the imagination.
"The Spendthrift" will be seen all
this week, with matinees as usual to-
morrow and Saturday. The advance
sale, of seats for each performance
during the entire week is of the most
| f1attering sort. and there is absolute
guarantee that every performance VIII
be attended by record breaking au-
diences. Those who have delayed In
getting their seats should get them al
once, and avoid certain disappointment,
if they wait too long.
