HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI
 DRAMA CLUB TOnI6HT
 GIVES FAMOUS COMEDY
saTreIawney of the WeIls'' to Be Pre-
 sented at Park Theatre.

All is in readiness for the presenta- ton of "Trelawney of the Wells" by the Alumni Drama, Club at the Park Theatre this evening. There was a big rush for seats at the box office on Saturday and most gratifying to the finance committee.
 So well heralded has been the play that the majority of people thought best to be on hand early to secure a foremost position in the line of pur- chasers on Saturday. the first being in the lobby of the theatre at 6:30 a. m. It takes 5000 people, however. to completely fill the house, and good seats are therefore still available.
 The understudies are to occupy one of the boxes at the performance this evening, others to have box parties being David F. Read, president of the D. M. Read Co.,; Dr. M. g. Resen, MrS. Charles Fl. Armstrong and Mrs. Me- thaniel W. Bishop.
 Through the courtesy of John Fay, the upholsterer and furniture dealer, the majority of the stage properties were obtained. Benjamin Oelsner, proficient in the art of making up', is to use his skill to the utmost and the Park Theatre orchestra Is to fur nish music during the acts.
 The Drama Club wishes to thank the patrons and patronesses, the n1er- chants and business houses, etc., which have advertised in their program, the of the theatre, the press and all others who have in any way contributed to the big success which is forecasted for tonight.

FLOYD ALLEN CASE
saft of the Gang To Be Tried To-
 gether Is Agreement.

Wytheville. va.. May 13-On the eve of the Floyd Allen case going to the jury, Corpmonwealth Attorneys today began planning for the trials of the four other members of the outlaw gang who shot up Judge Massie'a s court at Hillsville, nearly two months ago.
 Because wytheville county finances have already been greately depleted by the Floyd Allen trial, it was the general belief here today that an agreement would be reached between counsel for the prosecution and the defense, to permit consolidation of sonoe of the remaining trials. The original plan contemplated separate trial for each of the defendants--a proceeding to which they are entitled under the law.
 It was stated here on good author ity today that Claude Allen, son of Floyd, would next be tried alone. and then that F'riel Allen. Sidna Edwards, Byrd Marion and Victor Allen would be tried together, the defense, 1t is said, having acquiesced in this plan.

FEM DONNELLY READY TO REPAIR
 STATE ROADS

Emmett Donnelly of this city is in charge of repairs of all State roads between washington bridge and Green wich. He was recently appointed as one of State Highway Commissioner Macdonald's staff. and is doing fine work Any complaints regarding the condition of State roads in this sec tion should be addressed to MT. Don- nelly, A. Clarence street, and they will receive prompt attention. MT. Don. nelly says he will have a gang of men repairing the road the day after he receives a complaint. This does not apply to roads owned by the cit ies or towns, however.
 There has been much criticism of the town road in Norwalk, which is said to be in dissraceful condition. State Highway Commissioner Macdon- aid is willing to take over this road if the selectmen will put it in good condition and the trolley tracks are moved. He will not take 1t under present conditions. though. The town road in Noroton Is also in bad shape.
 MT. Donnelly takes pride in keep ing the State roads in perfect repair, and his efforts have won much praise

Remains of a Petritied Man.

The bones of a petrified man with
forehead sloping back directly from
the eyes and with two rows OF teeth
on the front of his upper jaw, were
found, on the 10th inst, while con-
FACTORS were excavating for an apart
ment on Craig's hill, suburb. The
hill is of hogback formation and ex-
cavation was made on the one hill
about 20 feet below the surface and
about 20 feet back from the face OF
the slope. The skeleton was found
in the cement rock formation. over
which was layer of shale rock. The
rock was perfectly dry and doctors
say that the skeleton could have re-
manned in that formation hundreds
of years without rotting. The jaw
bone, which broke apart when re-
moved, is so large that it will go
around the face of the man of to-day.
The other bones are also much larger
than that of ordinary men. The
femur bone is 20 inches long, which,
according to scientific men would in
dictate that the man was 80 inches
tall. or approximately six feet and
eight inches.

1T Has WORKED WE'LL q plan

1T HAS WORKED VILLAS q plan
has worked we'll to draw trade in sew
eral towns, why may it not be tried
by our merchants? 1t is as follows:
An agreement was reached between
all the merchants whereby they Of
fered special sales on certain days,
each merchant selecting some special
line of goods upon which he made a
lower price than usual. Thus one
drygoods house would sell gloves at
a special price, while another would
sell bargains in dress goods. One
hardware merchant would reduce the
price on skates. Every line of bust
ness was represented and care was
taken that no conflicts occurred.
Prizes were then offered to the farm
err bringing in the best load Of grain
or the handsomest baby and the bar
gain day was extensively advertised
in the surrounding country, the
names of the merchants and their
special sales being in all cases stated.
The farmers responded in q most
gratifying manner and the merchants
were well pleased with the plan.
Whatever of these competitive sales
that have been announced here has
been an independent one, depending
upon its own attractive powers, but
with united action it will be seen
that it may have a retroactive effect
in keeping up a succession of bar
gain sales, and a volume of business
inaugurated that will make up amply
for any temporary sacrifice on any
article.
