alter direct from its Overwhelmingly
successful engagement of seven months
at the Republic theater, New York,
where 1t proved one Of the most popu-
lar farces in recent years. The play Is
In three acts and is the work of c. W.
Bell and Mark Swan. 1t contains what
Mr.. Woods believes to be one of the
most novel plots yer embodied in u
comedy.
The story deals with the escapades of
an eminently respectable young bene-
dict who is compelled to assume the
guise of a Dor Juan to satisfy the
Sentimental cravings of his adorlng
bride. Assuming a strange role that
i'll fits him, he finds himself in a des-
perate plight in a wayside inn, with
more venturesome ladies On his hands
than so gentle an individual ever
dreamed existed. That Is as far as the
management will disclose the plot. But
York and Chicago laugh uproariously
for more han a year. The play has
been staged with elaborate care and
good taste. A splendid company o
farceurs has been chosen to interpret
the play.

NINETY DOLLARS
IS AGREED UPON
As POLICE SALARY
Councilmen In Caucus SUNDAY Agree
'To Increase Salary Of Policemen
To Ninety Dollars Per Month
Warm Session Tonight.

The regular monthly meeting of
City Council at the council chamber
this evening at o'clock promises to
be quite an interesting one for there
are several very important matters to
come before the board.
Tonight is the regular annual cleo
ton night which heretofore has al
ways proven one of the most interest
ing events Of the year but this year
promises to be the tamest business to
be transacted by the body as there are
no candidates for the city offices, so
far as is now known, except the in
cumbents who are all standing for re-
election.
Probably the most interesting mat
ter to come before Council will be the
ordinance requested a couple of
months ago to increase the salary of
the city patrolmen At that time the
Laws and Ordinance committee was
requested to draft an ordinance in
cresing the salary of patrolmen from
s75 to 800 per month. There has
been some opposition to this increase,
however. and Council caucus was
held Sunday, according to wireless re-
ports. At that caucus those present
agreed on compromise of $50 per
month and such an ordinance will
be offered tonight. There is yet oppo-
sition even to that increase among
some of the Councilmen.
The other important matter is the
presentation of the petition from Alva
West. OF the Star Produce Company,
which is published elsewhere in this
issue. Ata special meeting of Council
some weeks ago, this request was re-
fused but what effect the large petit
ton will have on Council cannot be
told at this time. The question. al
least promises some interest for the
meeting.
