He followed the two men down Main street and when at the railroad crossing they started to run towards Washington street he asked aid of two young men named McCuskey and Champo, who caught the men. McCullough seemed to be a forgiving kind of old man, and told the judge that maybe Reef did not intend to steal the watch, “but he did it just the same.” Reef deniedq the charge and said McCullough sold him the watch for a dollar. “Bless your heart, no, if he’'d given me a dollar he could have had the watch,” said the complainant.

On Saturday night last when Victor Her- bert’s latest musical play, “The Prin- cess Pat” visited here every seat in the Lyceum was occupied. It was the first time this season that Standing Room only was in order. And those who sat through the four delightful acts listened to the twenty numbers that the celebrated Irish composer has intersperced were well rewarded. Miss Ruth Welch the young lady who plays the title role, is a charm- ing commedienne and a wonderful | singer. And seh Is surrounded by a cast well capable of giving her propdr cupport. There are some among these who apbeared in the original cast, notably Charles Udell who por- | trayed the ical country constable, Si Perkins, and did it to the Queen’s taste. His one sang proved the hit of | the night, “The Shoes of Husband No. 1 as Worn by Husband No. 2.” Then there was a mysterious char- scter, a person who always main- ained an equinamity that was appal- ling, who never lost his poise, who | never gave away his identity, and who |able of lending. This role in the | hands of Mr. Carl Stall was more than | well taken care of, as was the German comedian part essayed by Mr. Ben | Hendricks. Miss Effie Toye as the ngenue scored a big success especial- 1y in her duet with Miss Welch when one of the prettiest songs of the even- ing was sung, ‘“For Better or far worse.” The lead juvenile part was |in the keeping of Mr. Frank Rose who filled the bill to a nicety. ! borrowed money fram every one cab- | Irettiest musical shows that sraced the boards of the Lyce some time, The charus was than capable, and there was act the best seen here this se for that matter, in two o seasons. ment by Layman.

Why the “Chicago News” Bolits President Wilson Another Term. From the New York Sun, October 26, 19186. This advertisement is paid for by the Hughes Alliance Reserve—an organization of Democrats, Progressives, Independents, working for the eclection of Charles ¥. HMughes. Henry J. Cochran, Treas., 2 East Declares the Safety of the Nation and the Integrity of Its Institutions Cannot Wisely Be Entrusted to Chicago, Oct. 25.-The Chicago Daily News editorially withdrew its support from President Wilson today. After stating that the News had urged the selection of Mr. Wilsen before the Democratic convention four years ago and had also actively supported him in the campaign, the News says: “Mr. Wilson is a scholarly egotist who measures all things by personal standards which are subject to no modifications other than those resulting from his confirmed policy of opportunism. “‘Do the easiest thing and make a virtue of it,” might be the ac- cepted motto of this eminently plausible President. Having no real advisers and no Cabinet except in name-this was made clear by the resignation of Secretary Garrison—he has felt free to follow his own inclinations at all times. “It was in his method of dealing with the strike threat of the railroad brotherhoods that President Wilson most clearly disclosed his policy of government. That perilous policy of following the line of least resistances is shown here in its perfection. “The President employed an easy method of projecting a present difficulty into the future and of gaining profitable friendships for him- self while sowing a crop of dragons’ teeth for his country, whose interests he was set to guard. This appalling display of unscrupulous- ness illuminated like a searchlight the character and thought pro- cesses of the chief magistrate of the nation. The American people should take warning from the painful exposure. 7 “In the opinion of the Daily News the safety of the nation and the integ- rity of its institutions cannot wisely be entrusted to President Wilson for another term. { Kepublicans and 13rd Street, New York City.
