DAVENPORT March 30.—A practi- cal joke perpetrated by two Hawk Creck farmers Tuesday evening start- ed two Sherifi's posses racing across the country, sent the Coroner and Prosecuting Attorney to the scene of a ! supposed tragedy and stirred up the | population. The fake murder took place in broad daylight before three excited witnesses. The two farmers who should be starring behind the footlights are Charles Logsdon and his hired man, Jim McKinnon. The men were plow- ing in Logsdon’s field when they ob- served a neighbor, Henry Dick, his wife and hired man in an adjoining field. Suddenly the trio heard violent lan- gu e and looking up saw Logsdon and innon apparently quarreling vio- lently. The great tragedian’s urder- study drew a revolver and fired. The desperate man seemed badly wounded, but staggered and grappled with the object of his wrath. The two fell and locked in embrace rolled on the ground. Logsdon overcame his adversary, .se- cured the weapon and holding it to the head of his prostrate victim, fired twice. The three spectators hastened away from the scene and Dick’s hired man rode five miles to a telephone sta- tion to notify the Sheriff. Meanwhile Constable Layson had gathered a posse at Peach and was headed for the scene. Coroner Kaulbach had been summoned from Edwall, forty miles away. The windows of the Logsdon house were dark and the besiegers fancled the murderer barricaded within. m house was found to be deserted and a neigh- bor told the story to a lhemlh-lo‘*ill lot of man-hunters. morrAmnAm cunmm'mnx CflAHPAIGN. ., m 30.—Miss Fairbanks, the favorite niece parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Jacobs, Makes Big Hit in London and ‘in Par CREEPY SORT OF Alfred Bruneau Scores 2 Success With Opera Made ! Special Dispatch to The Cail i LONDON, March 30.—A number of j rather striking theatrical productions | have regently been produced not only in London, but in Paris and Berlin. Of the lot Americans probably will be |most interested in “The Monkey's ! Paw,” by W. W. Jacobs—put on at the London Haymarket. This little play, which the author of “Many Cargoes is said to have written in order i show himself capable of something be- | sides humor, was first tried at a pro- fessional matinee in London several months ago. Then it was translated into French, and as “Le Main du edy, “Beauty and the Barge,” and is pleasing playgoers so much that it is sure to be done in the United States. It is a “creepy” sort of thing. An old sergeant major named Morris has | brought from India a dried monkey's | paw, on which some fakir has cast a ‘spell The shriveled little piece of ' skin and bone has the power of grant- ,ing three wishes to its possessor but— and here lles the gruesome part of the story—the wisher always regrets that it has done so. An cld couple named ‘White and their son, a young electri- cian, to whom the major tells the story, insist on trying the monkey’s paw, and against its owner's advice the elder ‘White wishes for £200. This sum does not drop from the clouds and the son, Herbert, goes to his work at the elec- tric light works, teasing the old peo- ple about their unfulfilled hopes. The next scene takes place on the following day. The father and mother are wait- | ing their son’s return. Instead, a mes- | senger from the works arrives to say that he has been killed in the machin- ery and, in the name of the company, to offer them £200 as compensation. MAKES SECOND WI In the days of grief that follow the old couple forget all about the monkey’'s paw. One evening a week later, however, the mother suddenly remembers that two wishes remain to | them and insists on the father wish- | ing that the son were with them again. He does so. At once there is a knock at the door. Instantly the old people | are aghast at what they have done, | but the mother, her hands trembling with emotion, tries to open the door. { The bolt sticks. She struggles to undo it, while her husband clutching the fateful paw, pronounces the third and | last wish—that their son may rest at | peace in his grave. As his words are uttered the frantic mother tears the |door open and reveals—an empty } threshold, The grim little tragedy just described | was written by Jacobs, with Louis N. | Parker. Mrs.. Humphry Ward also had the assistance of this facile collaborator in writing her play ‘“Agatba,” which was given at a special matinee at Tree's Theater recently. Unfortunately | it cannot be prophesied that “Agatha” | will be done in the United States, where Mrs. Ward has so many admirers, for although more stageworthy than her dramatization of “Eleanor,” the au- thoress’ new piece makes but a feeble impression. Surprisingly enough, it proves old-fashioned to a degree, the plot revolving round a typically flinty- hearted stage father and his attempt to force his daughter into a marriage of convenience. Not since the production of “The Sunken Bell” has Gerhart Hauptmann had anything like as big a success as that attained by his new play, “Elga.” This pilece was produced at the Lessing Theater, Berlin, before a distinguished audience a few nights ago, and at the end Hauptmann had to appear before the curtain more than a dozen times. “Elga’” is unlike any of Hauptmann’'s previous works. The story, told briefly, is this: A German knight is on his wa: to the King of Poland’s court. He stoj over night in a monastery, where he attended by one of the humblest of the monks. 'WEIRD GUEST CHAMBER. From the window of the rather weird guest chamber in the tower of¢the mon- astery he sees the ruins of a dismantled castle belonging to the Polish Count Starshenski, who founded and endowed the monastery with all his wealth. F: tigued by his journey, the knight falls asleep in his chair and dreams. His dream is given in the ensuing six scenes of the play, which follow one another without any intermission. He sees the Count Starshenski as be once lived in the world, rich and happy in the possession of his beautiful wife, Elga, and their child. But the dream shows how the wife deceived her hus- band and how the nobleman murdered first the lover and then the woman, and finally renounced the world. In the last scene of the play we again have the guest chamber in the monastery, with the German knight awakening. He calls his servant and they resume their jour- ney after having been served by the humble brother, who 1s, of course, Count Starshenski. - The German critics are almost unan- imously of the opinion that this new play of Hauptmann's is a permanent addition to the German stage. VAll Paris is talking of the striking opera which Alfred Bruneau has made out of Emile Zola’s “Infant King.” This young q‘rsneh composer really has per- . formed ‘a remarkable feat, for his work Jjust misses being great despite the fact that the author worked with the most unpromising material, so far as musical ends are concerned; for Zola's “book” is not only wtitten in prose, but is ab- solutely characteristic of its author—a sordid little tale of a Parisian bakery. Yet Bruneau’s score is full of vitality and of fresh, fine colors. The orchestra- tion, too, is generally described as a ‘wonder of real richness. < —_——— STEAMERS ON SUNNYDALE SLOUGH STILL ICEBOUND —_— Men Are Now Engaged in Trying to Get Them Out for Opening of Klondike.
