New Baptist Minister Receives a
Glad Welcome

coulpdLy Ol Hef pest people as
sembled at the Baptist parsonag,
to welcome the new pastor of tina
Church who recently moved her,
from Louisville, Kentucky, e
cast his lines among the best rep
representatives of the State oil
Missouri.
In the afternoon Mr.. j. r.. Dor.
gan invited TIE minister and his
worthy wife to drive into the
country to get some new sor-
ghum. When they returned at
Z 30 it was to find their home in
the possession of IA mob, so to
speak, that suggested to the new
ly arrived citizen from Kentucky
Night Riders, white Caps,
or "Klu Klux."
On entering his home, howev-
er, he found only friendly neigh
bors, and the aroma of good cof-
fee greeted him, and the sight of
fine cakes, canned fruit and veg
etables, "A fine pumpkin, and a
sack of flour, suggested a well
stocked pantry.
On the front porch stood
sack of corn, and by the side a
wheel barrow containing a large
box in which the musical s4u-al
of a pig was heard, and further
on the futter and chirp of chick
ems disturbed by so many people.
This demonstration was un-
UNCONVENTIONAL, as every church
and society that had a member
present was represented i'll the
receiving line, composed of the
following ladies; Christian

Sid, Mrs. S. p. Carver; Episco.
pal church, Mrs. W. A. Cochran
Kings Daughters, Mrs. j. w.

Baptist church, Miss Alma
Brown.
The parsonage was completely
filed and many were III the yard.
Each lady welcomed the pastor
and Mrs. Arvin in the name of
the church or society she repre-
sented. Then Miss Alma Brown,
after extending the welcome Of
the Baptist church, took the sur
prised couple thru the entire
house, presenting them to the
friendly disposed strangers they
had not met. After a very slight
embarrassment this experienced
couple and their grown son,
BARLEY Arvin, did the honor of
their house in a manner only ac-
luired by experience.
The Reverend gentleman de
,lared he had everything but the
farm, that he appreciated the
visit from all these people and
would surely return it to one and
all, not forgetting to partake of
refreshments in every home rep
resented as they were doing in his
house.
He rather insisted that one and
all Zone hundred and fifty at
east should remain over night.
Good cheer and enjoyment
was the order of the evening, and
every one present looked and act
I'd as if it was good to be there.
As Rev. Arvin is the only resi-
lent minister in Benton City all
Christians extended to him and

welcome, and it is hoped, and be-

By ADELINE oARRIoK WELLS.

Clyde Bitchs famous comedy, THE
Truth" is Miss Grace Georges
chosen vehicle this season, and the
worth of her choice was made evil
dent in the Shubert Theatre last
night, when she depicted with be-
wildering variety of expression the
character of Becky Warder; a Becky
who could never tell the truth, and
who tried to hide her failing, even
from herself. in q hundred and one
plausible ways.
There are certain things that Miss
George can do just a little better
than any of her contemporaries; roles
which demand manner, finesse, grace
and the wearing of exquisite clothes.
Becky Warder fits her like q glove,
or is 1t she that fits Becky? Which
ever 1t is, Miss George gives a bril-
liantly intelligent performance, de-
lineating the various trickeries of
that little, lovable arch-hypocrite OF
Becky with skill and understand
ing.
Warder, O. gay little creature who
loves her husband devotedly, man
ages her home in highly creditable
fashion, dresses exquisitely and
would be altogether too perfect were
it not for her habit of fibbing. Fib-
bling a little, or fibbing colossally; 1t
is all the same to Becky. Untruths
trip from her tongue as readily as
apple blossoms fall in late spring
wind. Caught in lie, she promptly
covers it with another and bigger
one. Nor gives the deception a sec
ond of remorse. 1t is the fact that
she doesn't think a thing about 1t
that puts the audience SO thoroughly
on her side, despite her misdeeds.
This, then, is Becky? What more
natural that, when married man,
the husband of her friend, wants to
f1irt with her, she accepts his atten-
tons under pretence of reconciling
him with the wife from whom he is
separated? Becky likes herself in the
role of peacemaker, and deliberately
pretends not to see whittier the affair
is drifting. When her husband be-
gins to find things out she lies to
him, and when he finds out that she
has lied to him she explains with
more lies, and more and more, until
the net of her own fabrications binds
her tight. The long-suffering War
der, sure of her perfidy, declares that
they must separate. and Becky, quite
heartbroken, goes to her father, who

MINERS

The Star and Garter Company is
paying its annual visit to Miners En-
pire Theatre this week in a musical
extravaganza in two parts, called
THE Mystic Jewel" THE Mysic
Jewel" as title. means no more than
does the name for the average bur-
lesque show. but whensJack Conway's
name is coupled with it, it stands for
a riot of fun, which, with good mu-
steal numbers and winsome chorus.
resolves itself into the acme OF bur-
lesque perfection.
1t wouldn't be saying too much for
Conway to say that he is the best Irish
comedian seen on stage in this city
in many a day. With Mark Franklin
as a Dutchman he delivered a line Of
comedy that kept the audience in al
most constant laughter.
Miss Billie Hill won instant favor
with the audience with her grace and
voice. She sang several numbers and
had to respond to frequent encores
J last night.
In the two acts there are eight
| scenes. In the flrst-the lobby of the
Hotel Castoria-an expedition is
| formed to set sail for Manless Isle,
where the mystic jewel is hidden.
The journey brings the party into the
harem of the Sultan of Turkey, a
town in rural Holland, a bull-ring in
Madrid, Zulu colony on a cannibal
island and finally to Manless Isle.
Conway, as Tim Riley, is promi-
nent in every scene, and in the
harem does substitute duty for the
sultan. In the sultan's "kimona," IS
he calls 1t, he causes no end of mer-
riment by trying to act like a real
Thanksgiving Turk. In Madrid he
is scheduled to fight fifty bull, but
all he does is throw a lot of it. His
impersonation of an Irishman with
a Champagne jag on in Holland is a
masterpiece. On the cannibal island
he is forced to wed one of the Zulus
or become Irish stew, but he finally
gets out of his difficulty by giving
his jailers poison lin half-pint
flask.
Mabel Clarke and Harriet Egbert
put over several songs that were
we'll received, and Mark Thompson,
Thomas WEIGH, Herman Sherman
and George Griffin made an excellent
quartet that received half a dozen
encores. The chorus is pretty and
full of music.
At last nights performance 100
baskets of foodstuffs were given
away, and il was announced that
fifty turkeys would be presented to
the audience next week.
