from financial returns, that he should
want to play to a great many people
wherever he goes.
Not that he has lacked the oppor-
tunity Of appearing before great audi
ences in all parts of the world. He has
had triumphal tours through no less
than twenty-four countries, and been
honored with some nineteen decora-
tons.

to impress any jury that he was not
of the eccentric, Iop-sided musician
type.
Later. q year was spent under Mos
zkowski in Paris.
In dress and general appearance, An
dor Won Coboly is very much the same
as other well-groomed, good looking
young men. He has an aversion for
anything that approaches eccentricity;
anything that will make second hand
his music. His religion is to live and
let live; to be happy and to permit
others the liberty which he desires for
himself.
He is unusual in that he claims no
political bias: is neither Democrat,
Republican, Iu1perialist nor Socialist.

treat of hearing a composer of merit

Lovers of good plays and fine acting
are certain to welcome the announce
ment that "Within the Law, Bayard
Xeiller's absorbing meiodrama Of mod
Urn American life, which is the cur
fent dramatic sensation in New York
and Chicago, is to be given it's initial
local prese ntation next month at the
opera house under the managerial
sponsorship Of the American Play
Company.
Forsaking the conventional paths
pursued by playwrights, Mr.. WELLER
has in within the Law" devised a
virile and exciting drama of GER
tain phase of contemporaneous life in
the larger cities that appeals with
equal force to every class of theater-
goer. The story is that of young girl
who is unjustly convicted and sent to
prison for theft, who tries to live hon.
estly when released, but is bounded by
the police until she loses her position
and who then turns on them and
matches her wits against their brutal
ity, keeping within the law and en-
ploying the intricacies and false stand
ards and technicalities Of the law to
shield her from arrest She develops
ingenuity, daring, and makes the man
who sent her to prison to pay for her
four years OF drudgery Tor him and
her three years in a felon's cell, almost
breaking his heart through his son and
heir.
For within the Law the American
Play Company has engaged an ade-
quate cast of individual and collective
excellence while the extensive scenic
investiture required for the mounting
of the play is on scale of lavishness
not usually attempted IN the line Of
dramatic productions.

prises galore and features that are not

If you can imagine a neer-do-w
an ilIiterate and shiftless negro trying
to palm himself OFF as a president OF q
thriving and illustriotls colored repub-
lie and at the same time aspiring &c
social and political honors, you can gel
fair idea OF the plot Of the new mu-
steal comedy, THE Wrong Mr.. Presi-
dent" which is booked as the next at
traction at the opera house on Friday
January %. The piece is in three acts
and It Is said there is not q dull Oh

A Busy Term Of Court.

1t is expected that the term Of cour t
which convened Nov. 3Oth will adjourn
today. after the longest session of jury
trials in this county for some time.
The first jury case Was that Of John
Hass vs. R. ]. Woods for the recovery
Of the purchase price of stallion sold
Hass by Woods, together with dam
ages incurred on several charges. The
horse, Jay Axtellion. wac purchased by
P. G. Button, w. F. Milz and Chas.
Odell, in the spring of 1918 from Ed.
K. Hovden, of DEBORAH, who had certi'
fed himself. as the state stallion law
at that time allowed, to the soundness
of the horse. It is claimed that at this
time the horse was afflicted with moon
blindness. Mr.. Woods purchased the
horse from the above parties suppos'
ing proper certificate of soundness
could be furnished and sold to Mr..
Hass still, supposing that he could Sc
cure and deliver him the certificate.
Mr.. Hovden however, later failed to
secure a proper certificate Of sound.
ness for transfer to Mr.. Woods who
thus could not furnish one to Mr.. Hass.
That the latter was satisfied with his
purchase and like Mr.. Woods knew
nothing of the unsoundness of the
horse, was shown by the testimony
that he had the horse in lis possession
for six or eight weeks before paying
Mr.. Woods. The jury returned YER.
dict in favor of Hass, and we under
stand that in so doing that most Of the
jurymen, at least. were influenced by
the fact that Mr.. Woods could not
furnish the certificate of soundness and
not by the idea that deception was
practiced. We understand that the
case will not be appealed but that Mr..
Woods will dou btless seek to recover
from Mr.. Hovden, who originally GER.
titled to the soundness of the horse in
question.
The second jury case was one for
damages brought by the guardians of
Robert H. Graham against C. B. Laub
for injuries sustained by the former by
being struck by an auto driven by
Laub, when the boy was riding bicy-
Gle. After few hours deliberat'on
the jury returned verdict in favor of
the defendant.
The last jury case was damage
case brought by A. G. Genshow against
c.. H. Putnam for injuries caused by
en- assault on Genshow by Putnam.
