"KING OF TIMBUCToOv
A BIG SUCCESS
Written for the Liberal by IN"


Written for the Liberal by IN"
The prophecy Of the Western
Liberal of May A, a Roaring Mu-
sical farce" was fulfilled in the
most successful manner imagina-
ble.,
Il crowded house awaited the
rising of the curtain on the main
street " of Timbuctoo and with
microscopes ready, the plot was
soon discovered, viz: "The search
for a happy woman" and if none
were found, the result was the los
ing of the throne and the behead-
ing of the king-the part so ably
taken by our we'll known amateur
actor, Sammie Gass.
The king was very well attended
by Ginger, Lord High Chamber
maid to his majesty. When we tell
you said Ginger was played by Matt
Mansfield, we can almost say huff
said," for it would have taken an
AL professional to beat him.
Prof. Comic Sections, of the Yale
faculty, Iohn Crowell, and his
wife, Rita Comic Sections. a decid-
edly new woman, played by Miss
Elizabeth Reynolds, were a COM
plete success.
Piper Heidseick, Mr.. Dick
Young, the genial inn keeper, was
perfectly at home both as a land
lord and a good natured Irishman.
Mr.. Tom Lister showed his abil-
ity as a Snowman in the character
of William Slick. In this he was
assisted by Miss Lucille Veatch,
who assumed the part of Stella
Foxey, his wife. Her knack of
mind reading was wonderful.
Mr.. Faris Bush. as General Mas
ticus proved that he could take
command of an army most any
time, as his soldiers were we'll
trained and obeyed orders without
the slightest hesitation. AS Charlie
Chaplin, Mr.. Bush was a scream
from start to finish.
The heir to the throne, Prince
De Kaciak, Mr.. Cross, decided he
could both occupy the throne and
find the happy woman. So very
successful was he that he was
crowned King, and found the hap
py woman, Marie Fleurdelis, an
American heiress, who was in real.
ity, Miss Marie Marshall In their
usually pleasing manner they
played their parts very successful
ly. Had real Princess been trans
ported from the kings palace in
darkest Africa, she would not have
been appreciated more than was
Mrs. Frances Sellick, as Princess
Nikita.
Mrs. Crowell, Mrs. Reynolds, and
the Misses Rachel Robson and
Dewey McGrath, who assisted in
the chorus work, and the special
ties, made the play an entire sue
cess.
The play was interspersed with
solos, duets and drills. The solos
and duets showed the very careful
training Miss Garrett had given
her pupils.
Of the drills we mention the Flo
ral drill, the Spanish dance, the
Doll drill and the Suffragette drill.
They were given with enthusiasm
and with a thorough knowledge of
musical rhythm.
/, A number of the special songs
were composed by the talented
leader of the Harmony Club, Miss
Garrett. To her untiring efforts,
as leader, the willingness to make
it success, and the harmony of
the harmony club, combined with
the beautiful stage setting, which
was the entire work of Max Mo-
huff, an artist who has lately come
among US, we will ring the curtain
down over the closing scene, think
ing, "they lived happily ever af-
ter" IN"

HON. d. ". DAVIS HERE.

Kon. d. w Davis was in this vi
cinity this week. on tour OF south
ern Idaho points, In the interest of
his candidacy for Governor. He is
very optimistic and 1t would be hard
to imagine Mr. Davis in any other
role as he Is enthusiastic, progress
sive and has great faith in the flu
ture prosperity of our people, and,
incidentally in his own chances for
the republican nomination.
OF all the cadidates for Governor,
the American Falls banker seems to
be in the lead and there is very good
reason for this as he makes a good
impression wherever he goes. He is
a business man and this is what the
people want in the Governors chair
AS the people learn more and more
OF his plan to capitalize the resour-
ces OF Idaho, they are convinced that
his ideas have great merit, and will
some day be crystalized into work
ing plan, to be adopted as a part of
our safe government.

BOONE WILL MAKE THE RACE.

After giving the matter careful
consideration and receiving encour-
agemnet from many people in differ
ent parts of the county, J. S. Boone
has decided TO make the race for the
republican nomination for county
commissioner. and his formal an
nouncement is found in another col
umn of the Times.
While it is early for an active
canvass, Mr.. Boone says that later he
will try and see every voter in the
county, and let them know that he is
in the contest 10 win. This is the
proper spirit, and we believe he will
make a successful campaign.
The third district is entitled to this
Office, and the time has come when
all Boise suburban residents should
jar loose" from this position that
belongs to the west half of the
county. The Meridian section is sim
ply asking for square deal, and in
presenting Mr.. Boone as a candidate,
we believe We can all get back OF him
and give the necessary enthusiastic
support to insure his nomination.
He is capable man and will give
the county good service if elected for
commissioner.

Memphis Detective Returns
 With Alleged Murderer

Columbus, Miss, November 1.--(Special) Haraloff Chelzceski. who on yesterday was positively identified as the murderer of May Goodwin, the wealthy Memphis courtesan, by Maude Becker, an inmate of her resort was taken back to the Bluff City today. Local officers at first re- fused to surrender their prisoner until the reward placed upon his head was forthcoming, but Detective Al Hurst, who was sent here to take charge of the man, pointed out to them that this reward was offered for the conviction of Chelzcesl1i, and not for his arrest. He assured them tsia &s 3on as the murderer was con- NiSsfs15 sfe money would be paid and upon hz Hance he was permitted to take setz to Memphis. Realizing that aGhAizeaHli was a desperate Character and fearing that he might attempt escape while en route to Memphis, Detective Hurst made arrangements with w. IT. Foreman, a local constable, to accompany him as far as West Point, Miss, where a change of cars was made. Constable Foreman saw the detective and his pris- oner safe on board an Illinois Central train at West Point and returned to Co., slumbus tonight.

Looking Up Our Lumber Trade

W. E. Aughinbaugh, in Lesiie's.
 The Lumber Manufacturers association is conducting sane and scientific in- vestigaton of market prospects. An ex- animation for five competent and ex- perienced men to comprise a board of experts was recently held in Washing ton, D. C., the examiners being selected from among the members of the associa- tion, the federal trade commission, the United States forest service and the bu- reau of foreign and domestic commerce. The men thus chosen to study the luin- Ger requirements of Europe, northern Africa, Egypt and Algiers. will go abroad at once. Their work is designed to be the most thorough and complete market prospecting ever undertaken.
 The destruction of European forests due to the high price of coal and the ravages of war will increase the demand for low grade mill products and thus af- ford an outlet for much of this material now unstable here. Our yearly ship ments of lumber and wooden articles to Europe formerly averaged about $50, ,O0o, ,00o Our future exports should approximate double that sum.

COTTON MARKET IS BARELY STEADY
Early Advance Lost With General Selling and Mar
 ket Closed at a Loss

New York, November 1.--The cotton market lost a very large part of yester- days big advance during today's trad ing, with January selling off from 1e.2oo to 1S.65c, and with the general list clos ing easy at net loss of q to A points
 There was a further advance of 5 to 15 points at the opening in response to higher cables and overnight buying oR ders. There was q great deal of cotton for sale, however. and the tone was barely steady. At 19.25c for January and ls,44c for May on the call, prices showed an advance of just about 90 points from the low level of Monday, and this seemed to bring out great deal of realizing There was also some local selling and before the end of the morning prices had sold off to Q net loss of some IS to 22 points.
 followed on more encouraging advices as to the immediate submarine situation and rumors of bullish crop estimate from western authorities. This estimate when published around midday proved quite as low as expected, placing the yield at only 10, 476,000 bales, excluding linters, but the figures failed to bring in any broad ening demand, and the market turned easier again during the afternoon under renewed liquidation. A good deal of this selling was credited to western sources, while there was also heavy offerings from Wall street and the south. May con- tracts sold off from 19.44c, the high point of the morning, to 1S.29c, and closing prices were at just about the lowest point of the day, representing a decline Of some 50 to 50 points from the high level of the morning. One of the private crop reports issued early in the morning indi- cated that S5 per cent of the crop had been picked prior to October 25, compared with 76 per cent last year. The private crop estimate of 10, 476,0OO bales compared with the last government indication of Il, ,6S7,0oo bales and judging from the talk around the ring was considered too low to create much fresh sentiment. Private cables attributed the advance in Liver pool partly to big rise in the price of Egyptians, owing to the sinking of SOU bales of that growth.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. November 1.--Heavy sell ing from the opening of the marset was attributed to- the buyers of yes- terday and those interests which had failed to take profits on the advance of last week. To some it seemed as though the buying of yesterday, to- gether with the bullish. circulars pub lished this morning. were for pur- pose of permitting this liduidation.
 The cotton was bought mostly by Wall street houses. the south being seller also, acting on the absence of any spirited spot demand from spin ners. Both the action of the market yesterday and today is thought to be the natural second advance and de- cline which usually follows an ex- traordinary advance. No frost has yet occurred in many sections and unless all previous experience is at fault. the yield should be larger on November than seemed possible on September l, but that view is not generally held regardless of the history of other crops,
