A new and despiCable variety of
thievine is recounted by the Liberty
Advance, saws the St Joseph 0bser-
yer. A team of horses, valued at
$500, was missed from the }. r.
Peters farm, southwest Of Liberty. A
weeks tireless search resulted in
finding the dead bodies of the stolen
horses in a dense thicket. Both ami
mails had been skinned. In the same
thickets were IS other carcasses Of
horses. All had been skinned and il
appears that the thefts were made
solely for the hides of the animals.

THE CRISIS. -


William Selig's superfeature. The
Crisis taken from Winston
Churchill's great civil war drama is
being enthusiastically received at
the oliver theater. where il will be
presented all this week. The play
itself could not have come at a more
appropriate time. which might ac-
count 10 some extent for the enthu-
siasm of those who witness it, for
the atmosphere throughout is one Of
patriotism and steadfastness to an
ideal with a quality Of inspiring
deep feeling in the breasts OF those
who see il. a feeling similar TO that
which must have inspired the men
and women who lived IN those trou-
blesOme times just preceding the
war, whether their belief caused
them to follow the flag Of the con-
federacy or the stars and stripes.
The acting Of every member of the
cast is splendid, with perhaps that
of Sam y. Drane. in the part of Lin
coin, "A role which he portrays with
dignity and simplicity which
shows a touch of genius, standing
out above the others. although that
Of George W. Fawcett, in the part
Of Judge Whipple, is almost equally
impressive. Thomas Santschi makes
a fine Steven Brice, while Bessie
Eyton is attractive as Virginia Car
vel.
The music accompanying the pic
ture is one OF the special features
of the performance, being inter-
preted by a full orchestra with harp
and flute solos by Nine. Bierach
and Sig SchapOff, recently with
CreatOre's band.
During the engagement here per-
formances will be given each after
noon at $3.50 and every evening at
S:15.
