easily agree with my last speech in
the play, in which / am called upon
TO admit that the incidents that make
up the plot could not happen save or

in this farce are not only possible in

concrete by actual performance. Lis
ten to this paragraph from the New

II. Ritcher of 1913 Third avenue, was
sentenced to serve one year in the pen
itentiary for extortion and imperson-
ating a policeman. He was arrested
on May 90, on the complaint of several
persons, who said that he had de-

uniform from Michael Phelan, Officer
SEC, and patrol his beat for him, and
while beating it, happen unto some
friends of mine in an automobile who
are going so slow they ought to be

arrest them for exceeding the speed
limit, make them drive me around for
while, and then let them go after

ence considers my experience while
covering Phelan's beat one of the fun
niest things in the play. No one
thinks for a moment while listening
to my story that such things could
really be done; yet note the similar

and the crime for which Mr.. Ritcher
is now serving a sentence in Ner'

TWO QUALIFY AS

at Geneseo Sunday.

Although Private Carl Bos, a men,
Der of Company A, Sixth infantry,

flied as sharpshooter during the past
two years, he was unable to win such
distinction at the shoot at the Gen
eseo range, Sunday afternoon, falling
few targets short of the required
number.
Lieutenant J. r. Reynolds and Ser.
geant klinck, the other local men
who shot at the range Sunday, quail.
fed as sharpshooters. One hundred
and fifty shots are allowed, 80 at
1000 yards, an equal number at 500
yards and so rapid fire at 500 yards.
In order to qualify. 80 targets must be
hit, and Lieutenant Reynolds struck
los, while Sergeant Klinck struck 100.
Private Bos apparently had an off
day. as he is considered one of the
crack shots" of the company 1t was
thought that he would easily qualify.
Sergeant +. Vroman and Private Carl
Brown had intended participating, but
did not attend the shoot
Captain Ed \. Dunavin and six
members of Company A took a trip to
the local range and spent a portion
Of Sunday in practice shooting. The
Rock Island captain intends develop
ing more excellent shots in the COM
pany. and while none of the boys made
any brilliant scores Sunday, yet their
work was indicative that they were
making progress.

AT THE ILLINOIS.

by far the most interesting produc-
ton Of recent years, the dramatic
spectacle, "Everywoman," with which
the public has become familiar
through the New York press dis
patches and magazine articles, will
be seen al the Illinois tonight and To-
morrow. matinee and night, when
Henry W. Savage will offer his splen-
old performance. which comes direct
from the large eastern cities without
q change in the company or a member
Of the large organization. The cabled
accounts of the great success which
the piece achieved in London at the
II-ury Lane theatre last September
establishes the fact that Every
woman has as strong an appeal in
foreign lands as it has had in America.
The play defes the ordinary CLASH
flcation Of the theatre. 1t is not, strict
~ speaking. opera, musical comedy or
drama. while partaking of many of the
essential features of all of them. II

Walter Browne. by the ancient moral
ity play, "Eyeryman.' which was per-
formed throughout America a few
years ago by a band of English play
ers, including Edith Wynne Mattieson

There is, however, not the slightest
similarity in treatment. for Every
man was gloomy and morbid. while
'Everywoman" is delineation of
she frailties OF woman, carrying

day of disobeying orders and SEN

Major Hagadorn decided that to

Gen. Barry today wrote the follow

THE fact that Major Hagadorn had
been brought to trial and the incident

The shipment was found and imme-
diately quarantined, fumigated and
such other precautions taken to make
it reasonably harmless until a thor
ough investigation could be complet-
ed. The investigation showed that the
shipment contained 436 sacks Of AL
len long staple cotton seed grown at
Port Fibson, Miss, and shipped by S.
Bernheimer & Son, Port Gibson, to
"A. NJ. Matheson, Behnettsville. The
car was routed over the Y. & M. rail-
road, Port Gibson to Memphis; Frisco
railroad, Memphis to Birmingham,
and via the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road to Bennettsville. 1t was ex-
planned that the detOur was made to
reduce the freight rate. A portion Of
the seed had been delivered to diff
ferent parties in the county. All of
the seed was collected and stored with
the original shipment and upon ex-
amining the sacks after a tremen-
uOuS IuHnlBdtlOn with carbon DlSul-
phide the weevil condition was such
that release was not considered safe
and the option was given the owner
either to have the seed shipped back
to Mississippi or have them destroyed
After the owner refused to reship the
seed the entire consignment was care
fully removed to the Bennettsville
Light and Power company furnaces
and burned. Other shipments having
arrived in the county were also col
lected with the exception of q small
quantity which was burned. The COM
plete records of these cases are in
the crop pest commission files. All
suspected cases were exhaustively in
vestigated. and in the collection Of
contraband seed. the weights OF the
seed were carefully checked to bal
ance with the weights given on orig
inal lading bills
