 mon of the Eleventh judicial district on his examination of the books, ac- counts and vouchers of officials of Lau-
 derdale county, Examiner of Public Accounts Frank " Evans charges to County Treasurer II. P. Davis the sum | of $1504.42, which was unlawfully au- thorized and appropriated by the board of county commissioners. A copy Of the examiners report has been filed in

 the errors Examiner Evans charges MT. Davis with s477.S3, as an overdraft
 on the general fund, fine and forfeiture fund road fund and fence law fund for

 ancies, most of which were promptly

EAST LYNNE AT EAGLE HALL

Just why the Roberts company did not draw as large crowd to witness East Lynne as other less pretentious productions have brought out. is not understood by the writer unless pos . sibly the play being so old many had seen 1t before. From a stand point of excellent acting. however. this last production was the equal of any pre- ceding ecort. Miss Roberts as Lady Isabel played the part with reserve eschewing all melodramatic straining at effect. and giving to this much abused character a naturalness that was refreshing. Her work in the death bed scene with little Willie. who by the way was an exceedingly healthy little Willie. was excellent.
 Miss Barry as the half sister Cor nelia added much to the enjoyment of the evening. The men were all up to their usual standard.
