The Thrilling The plot of this very thrilling west- ern drama, the feature cf the Breed today, tells of Tom Harper, a young sheepman, who recently invaded the territory of the their disgust. * He is warned by an umsigned note of the danger of h}s locating there, but his fiery nature is not to be so easily squelched, and he promptly walks into the sheriff’s officc armed with his “shooting irons” and the note, telling those within his hear- ing that if they were not looking for trouble they had better let him alone.l ‘While returning home he is fired upon and, returning the shot, wounds one of the cattlemen, and to escape being -captured seeks refuge in the home of his sweetheart. The wounded man is carried to Tom's home, and the mother, unaware that the cattle- men had sought her son’s life, cared for him. In the meantime a number of the cattlemen had trailed Tom to his sweetheart’s home, where they lay in wait for him. Later Tom is taken in hand by the sheriff and locked up in jail to prevent a lynching, but Buck | Weaver, the ringleader of the cattle- men, who was shot by Tom, learning that his nurse was the mother of the | man he tried to kill, goes to the sheriff and makes a full confession that Tom shot him in self defense. This is one of the Essanay inimitable western pro ductions and fully the equal ef any heretofore presented at the Bieed. Matt Bennett, the lyric tenor of the | Breed, sings the beautiful old-time ballard, The Sweetest Story Eve~ Told, to the great pleasure of all, while Mr. Tombari, the Italian barytone, renders 1l Trovatore in his usual magnetic in- spiring manner. AT THE AUDITORIUM. The ghow at this popular theater for the first half of the present week makes up a very attractive biil. Rand's Musical Dogs are the feature of the show, and they certainly are wonders of canine intelligence. They rapidly and perform their different stunts in a very clever manner. The hit of the bill is Harry Harvey in his German dialect character. He has sev- eral ‘good songs and parodies and a very funny collection of jokes and stories. Deyo & Rehan 'introduce a distinct novelty musical turn in which they use several electrical effects to the best advantage. They close with a very pretty dancing number which is mugs more attractive by the use of these same electrical appliances. There is & very nice line of motion pictures booked for today, including two come- dies and a western dramatic. Colum- bus Day Conspiracy will also be shown, a reel which shows many interesting views in New York city, also some in- | timate views of Mayor Gaynor and the city officials. Besides the above reel, there are two comedy and one other dramatic subjects, the titles of which are A Mania for Caricature, The Abun- dant Candle and A Ranch Girl's Love. James Clancy’s Poli Theater. An entire change of pictures at James Clancy’s Poli theater for today and romorrow. Two exceptionally strong subjects are “The Prosecuting Attorney” and “A Just Verdict.” The Prosecuting Attorney—Nina Brooks and her associate, Joe Brooks, are caught in a badger game, convict- ed and sentenced to a term of years in the state penitentiary. Nina serves her term and on her release is taken in charge at the prison gate by Mary | Moorse, who presides over a mission | for the reclamation of unfortunate women. Nina finds herself in this new fleld, and becomes an ardent worker in the cause. In the course of her labors, she meets Henry Lewis, a humanitarian, Lewis is the prosecut- ing attorney that was responsible, in the line of his duty, for her conviction and sentence. He becomes more than interested in Nina, and would marry her, assuring her, in spite of her ob- jections and tears that her past is her own. They are married and happy. Meantime Drooks has escaped from | prison He meets and recognizes his old pal and calls to blackmalil and | persecute her. Driven into a frenazy | cattlemen, much to| work | Nina shoots Brooks. Lewis recog- nizes Brooks and associates him with | Nina's past. The police arrive; Lewis | shows his true and manly love by as- | suming the responsibility for the trag- edy, giving himself over to the au- thorities without a murmur. | A brief synopsis of A Just Verdict follows: A Just Verdict—Dorothy Ellis and | Frank Dean are in love, but Dorothy’s father objects owing to Frank's lack of wealith. While the two sweethearts are engaged in target practice, Ellis angrily orders Dean to leave and a quarrel ensues, which same is over- | heard by the servants. Dorothy tear- fully pleads for Dean, but in vain, and he leaves, forgetting his revolver (upon “which |s engraved his mono- gram) which Mr, Ellis finds and places in his pocket., John Warner, a friend of Mr, Ellis, arrives for a short vi: ihe same day that Ellis receives a tel- egram. informing him that, through his reckless speculations, the bank will be compelled to close its doors. Ellis, after the household has retired, writ:s a letter to Dorothy, enclosing the te)- egram, which he leaves upon the hi- | brary table, from the drawer of whichJ he takes Dean’s revolver and shoots himself. . In the meantime, Warner, who is a somnambulist, has arisen from his bed, | donned . his bathrobe and descends to the library, just as Ellis has fallen dead with his head resting upon the table. As Warner, still asleep, reaches Ellis, he stumbles over the body, one hand grasping the revolver, the other the letter. Awakening with the re- | volver in his hand and seeing the| dead body, Warner decides that he has killed Ellis while asleep, and, pan- ic stricken, rushes back to his room. | Unconsclously he has slipped the let- ter in his bathrobe. When he reaches his room he discovers blood stains, and as he is called by the excited mem- bers of the household, he hurriedly removes the robe and places it in the botlom drawer of the bureau. The police are summoned and the body is found alongside of which lies the revelver with Dean's name upon it. The butler tells of the quarrel which he overheard between the two men and upon the strength of this cvidence, Dean is arrested, accused of . Qhildren Cry © FOR FLETCHER'S the murder. Warner is summoned to serve on the jury which will try the case and determines to save the lat- ter, whom he knows to be innocent. The day of the trial arrives and Dor- othy, ill from the shock, is confined to her home, The household maid, in cleaning up the guest chamber, which had been occupied by Warner and va- cant since the tragedy, finds the bath- robe, from the pocket of which the note drops. She hurries to her mis- tress, who, amazed at the maid's dis- covery, is quick to realize that she can save her lover’s life; Hurriedly donning a wrap and hat, she hastens to the stable, saddles and mounts her horse and starts for the courtreom, ‘arriving just in time to prevent War- ner's confession and save Dean from conviction. MISS BEATRICE HERFORD. Do not forget the rare treat in store for Norwich citizens tontght at Slater hall. Miss Herford unites the brightest wit the keenest observation and the most convincing acting in her pertrayal of characters. The menologues are as follows: I—In a Restaurant. 1I—A Lady Packing. JII—Choasing the Wall Paper. You have never heard anvthing fun- nier than Miss Herford’s mimicry. Tickets may, be bought at the door of Slater hall this evening, or until 5 o'clock at the store of George A. Davis. The Boston Transcript says: “Miss Herford writes her own mone- logues and makes humorous and some- times surprising narratives of them. She was greeted with enthusiasm as she appeared in one of #wer original and inimitable programmes, so clever in their presentation of human pecu- liarities, so fresh and wholesome in their power to create merriment. Her sketches are sparkling with fun and one cannot help smiling for days at their remembrance.” OWLS’ BALL. Decorations that will alone be worth the price of admission will greet you at the Owls’ ball Friday night at the armory. You have seen the armory decorated before, but not like this, and you'll want to see it and know what your friends are talking about the next day.

HISTORIC KOUND AT MEMPHIS | On Its Summit De Soto Was Received by the Chickasaw Chief in 1541, Under the lead of the residents of the southwest portion of the ecity, there is a renewal of activity for the | purchase of Jackson Mound Park and a small amount of adjacent property as an addition to the public park sys- tem. People favoring the purchase have drawn up a petition which sets out why they think that the property should be purchased by the city. “These mounds have a historical value that is beyond calcuiation. Upon the summit of one of them, in May, 1541, De Soto was raceived by the Chickasaw chief. This was twenty- three years before the birth of Shake speare; it was sixty-six years before Jamestown was settled; enty-nine years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. It is, there- fore, the oldest landmark in the United | States. Beneath the bluff here during the Civil war the gunboat Arkansas was built, “Being such a historical landmark, it is highly important that the city should own and keep sacred forever this memorable spot.”—Memphis Com- mercial Appeal. Daily Thought. Nothing in the world is so hard to counter as suspicions that cannot in the nature of things be disproved or brought to the test of fact, that relate less to the present than to some in- definite future, and that tend through infinite repetition and by thelr very elusiveness to acquire a certain credi- bility—Sydney Brooks. \ Parig 1 in airect _telephanis communication.
