"The Iucklins."

The dramatized version of Opie
Reads most successful novel, "The
Jucklins'' will be the attraction in
this city on April 10Th. The book
was of such popular nature that the
majority of amusement lovers know
the story. But for those unacquaint-
ed with it, it is enough to say that
it is a masterpiece selected from a
score of works, by the author who
possesses that quality of showing
things and telling things as they
are in all their beautiful simplicity.
The story is of simple folk of the
southern hills, and is under the di-
rection of Jones and Crane, who
have produced many popular plays
in late years. The story is about a
lone school teacher, awkward and
shy. who finds himself face to face
with trying situations in lands
! where men are reckoned by their
real worth. He makes good, and in
the making the play develops two
charming love stories.
1t is ripe with action, action that
| is true to the setting, and by no
means overdrawn. 1t is distinctly
not one character play, but one in
which a competent corps of artists
are needed. In this company there
are more than one of these artists.
Roy Foster takes the part of Lem
Jucklin, who is fond of chicken
| fighting, and meets all the retorts of
the family by declaring that he "be-
lieves in the book from kiver to Xiv
err" and he has never found any
thing in it that says a man can not
fight, and dare not love fighting
chickens.
The story has its inception in Ala
bama, then shifts to the highlands
of North Carolina, where aristo-
cracy reigns supreme. Aristocracy
is emboldened by the setting of
poor whites" who being opposed to
learning, burn the school house in
their efforts to do away with the
teacher.
| Even the minor parts are inter-
preted by recognized members of the
+, stage. The play is thoroughly whole
some, educational, and entertaining.
The quaint bits of logic and humor,
which abound in plenty, are one Of
its attractive features. 1t will be
presented at the Armory opera
house on Wednesday, April 29th.

ARMY FORCES HAVE ARRIVED

Vera Cruz, April 2S.-With all
ceremony, the firing of a salute and
dress parade, the American flag was
raised yesterday over the division
headquarters of Rear Admiral Frank
F. Fletcher. Over the customs
house the flag has been flying since
the landing of the American forces.
but until now there had been no
ceremony indicating the formal oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz.
The transports with Brigadier
General Funston's command aboard
were off port yesterday afternoon,
but there has been no indication
that the military forces will be sent
ashore at this time. If the army
lands, the bluejackets now on duty
here will go aboard their ships, but
marines will be left for land SER
vice.
Five Americans who arrived by
train from Mexico City yesterday
were virtually expelled by President
Huerta. They had been arrested at
Pachuca for no known cause. They
are DR.. Hopkins, R. Citation, J.
Funston, G. G. Smith and Mr.. Mad
doX. These men were sent to the
capital from Pachuca, where Huerta
told them he would not hold them,
but ordered them to leave the coun-
try.
The more friendly attitude dis
played in the capital, towards for
eigners in the last day or two was
in a measure explained yesterday
when it was learned from refugees
that rebel supporters in Mexico City
had taken steps to change public
opinion. They circulated handbills
calling upon the people to protect
Americans and denouncing Huerta
as the cause of the landing of the
American naval forces at Vera Cruz,
and also as the author of the false
and inflammatory statements pub
lished in Mexico City.
In the handbills the people were
called upon to join in a big parade
to show disapproval of Huerta's at
titude and to indicate their own
friendliness towards Americans. The
parade took place Saturday, and the
fact that it was permitted by Pres
ident Huerta was construed as an
| indication of the weakening of his
power.
The rebels are said to have been
gaining ground in the territory
close to Mexico City. Four hundred
federal wounded were brought into
the capital Friday from nearby
points.
A train which reached here yes
terday morning brought many Brit
ish, German and French residents.
but only five Americans. None of
them came direct from Mexico City.
Some of them had been prisoners of
the federaIs at Cordoba, others at
Soledad, the headquarters of Cen
eral Mas The latter had been re-
leased by him as a result of the urg-
ent representations of Consul Cana
da and were permitted to join the
foreign refugee train which left the
capital Sunday morning.
Another train is expected to ar
rive today, and it is understood that
many Americans are aboard.
Some of the refugees are RESPONSE
BILE for an unconfirmed report that
after a demonstration Huerta be-
came so frightened that he hid him
self in a foreign legation, fearing
assassination.

 OF CATTLE BURNED.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 6--Twenty- five acres of cattle pens, ona third of the local stock yards, had been de- stroyed with a loss estimated at three quarters million dollars by a fire that begun last nignt and sti was burning early this morning. Three men had been injured by burns and falling tim bers The fire was spreading rapidly and another section of the yards was in danger.

MONMOUTH MAY BE SAFE
Unknown Warship Went Aground on Chilean Coast and British Hopes it May Be the Cruiser Injured in the Recent Pacific Fight.

London, Nov. G.-10:55 D. mt was the British cruiser Good hope, Rear Admiral Sir Christopher .Cradock's flagship, which foundere 1 after being set on fire by shells from German warships in the naval battle that took place off the Chilean coast last Sunday The British cruiser Monmouth, which the Germans said they had sunk, was badly damaged. and it is possible that she is tho warship which was reported today to be ashore on the coast of Chile. So far as known none of the Goodhope's crew survived
 This was the news given to the lBritish public by the admiralty this evening just as the people were be ginning to think the German accounts of the result of the battle in the Pa cific had been exaggerated. The only bit of satisfaction for the British is that their little Pacific fleet had itse-l chosen to give battle to much Istronger squadron and had not been overwhelmed until the last possible shot had been fired at the enemy. The British cruiser Glasgow. which was with the Goodhope and Mon mouth, too, put up a fight against the two German cruisers Leipzig and Dresden and when her bigger sisters were put out of action, managed to escape.
 Rear Admiral Cradock lived up to his reputation of being one of the followers of that naval school which believes that the enemy should be en- gagged, no matter what his superiority. According to the admiralty it was he who brought about the action. for the Herman squadron at first was disin- clined to give battle.
 Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Grad lock, who commanded the British squadron from the battleship Good hope and who probably went down with that ship, was in charge of the British fleet in Mexican waters at the time the American marines occupied
  Vera Cruz. He was 52 years old
 Sir Christopher had a distinguished record. During tho Soudan campaign lin 1891 he served in the British army and also saw service in China in 1900. His gallantry at Taltu earned him promotion to a captaincy.
 Sir Christopher was commander of the kings yacht and he served as aide de camp to the king He be- came a rear admiral in 1910 He was made a knight commander of the Vic torian order in 1912. He received 9 silver medal from the British Board of Trade for gallantry in saving life at sea in connection with the wreck of the Peninsuar and Oriental line steamer Delhi

HARTFORD STORES BURNED
Said to be the Work of Mine Sympa- thizers-Loss is $6o,o0o-Resident of Mining Camps Are Attending Court at Fort Smith.

Fort Smith, Ark, Nov G-United States troops tonight fixed camp in the quiet village of Prairie Creek. the heart of the Hartford Valley coal min ing region, without attracting more attention than if on parade at Fort sheridan. The few miners and inhab- itants left in the neighborhood looked on in idle curiosity as the soldiers un- loaded and prepared to spend the might. The burning of two large stores al Hartford, three miles from
 Prairie Creek early today, alleged to have been done by miners sympa- thizers was the final act prior to the arrival of the troops The stores be- longed to Edwards and Edwards. dry goods and general merchandise and John Meikelmeyer groceries. The loss was estimated at S53000 to
 $60,oO0.
 At Fort smith little excitement at tended the sitting of the United States court when Judge Prank You. mans delivered the charge to tha spe- cial grand jury called to investigate the recent Outrages in the Hartford Valley. More than fifty witnesses lave been subpoenaed to appear be fore the grand jury and deputy mar shals are still in the field serving notices About twenty witnesses from the Hartford district were ex- amined today and dismissed but no report was made by the grand jury.
 R. B Hull special assistant to the attorney general said tonight that no indictments would be returned until some time week after next At the conclusion of the day tomorrow, the jury will adjourn for one week, and will meet Monday, November 1G Be ginning next Monday the federal off cals of this district will be engaged
 in holding court at TeXarkana, Ark.
 for week During this time all pro ceedings here will be at a standstill
 Major Nathaniel Mcclure com handing officer of the squadron of Fifth cavalry stated tonight that the present camp site at Prairie Cree was only temporary The question of water supply is worrying tho solis' but it is deemed necessary to remain hear the Bache-Denman mine, the center of the disturbance.
 The miners and residents of the Hartford Valley insist there is ID strike in this territory. The troubles originated, they claim when the Baehe-Denman Company abrosated their contract with the miners union and attempted to operate their mine No. 1 on an open shop basis. It is the general opinion throughout this sec tion that there will not be a clash fo aay kind between the miners and so'- diers unless uon-Jniou men are brought in to operate mine No 1. Then-the sentence is usually left unfinished.
 Instead of the 800 or coo miners who worked at the Prairie Creek mine year ago there now are scarcely hundred These are wholly dependent upon their little gardens
 for living, all the mining properties
 heinz closed down.
