Local Talent Scores II Hit
Before an audience so packed anu
crowded that not even standing room
was left the Lake View high school
on Friday night, March the fourth,
played a comedy drama, 1.-The Dea-
cons Tribulations," in four acts.
Hearty peals of laughter burst
forth when Deacon Thorton, whose
fondness for the cup that cheers, re-
ceived severe reprimand from Amelia
his wife, whose indomitable ambi-
tion was to cure him of his drinking
habit and when Billie, the Deacon's
colored servant, and Dusky Pete, Mrs.
Thornton's servant and n friend Of
the family, fell into various predica-
ments occasioned by the desire of the
latter to play cunning pranks on Mel
lie and Daisy, close relatives of the
Deacon.
Dusky Pete accompanied by Graef,
the Deacon's nephew, ELECTED pro-
longed cheers when the former, by
crude detective plans, rescued Nellie
fIom her father, Geo. Darrah, an es-
capped convict, who smarting with a
burning desire for revenge, attempt
ed to abduct his own daughter.
In the meantime Dusty Jim, the
Deacon's long, lost tramp brother,
whom the Deacon in fit of anger,
had accused of stealing the priceless
diamond ring of their mother, proved
his innonce by the confession of a
fellow tramp whose lashing conscience
caused HIM to return the ring. There
fore the Deacon and Dusky Jim be-
came reunited and resumed their
abode in the old homestead,
Door receipts amounted to $500.
So delighted were the spectators that
numerous requests have been receiv-
ed to give the play in adjoining towns.
