work.

which time the prizes for next year
will be announced. Write me at once

want it for girls, boys or men. Anything
given will be appreciated. Al eady
one has offered the amount of
$1, another a ton of guano. So you
see anybody can help. A committee
will be appointed to say what the

"BEN-EUR" AT COLUMBIA !
NOV. 21. 22 & 23.
The management of the Columbia [
Theatre have arranged with Klaw oc
Erlanger for the presentation of Lew
Waliacet's powerful religio-historic
spectacle, "Ben-Hur" Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings and
Wednesday matinees, Nov. 21, 22 and
23.
"Ben-Hur," with its lustrous "Star
of Bethlehem," its camels, Arabian
steeds. Oriental trappt-rv and mimic
splendor of the gorgeous East, is beyond
doubt the most elaborate spectacle
ever staged in the history of the
world. Its series of scenes present to
the eye a feast of multifarious beauty j
and variety all set to a symphonic ac
companiinent of graceful music. The
exciting episodes, such as the galley
SCrTltt with its hnrrlp r*f ohn.inpH slavfts.
che sea fight', the rescue in mid-sea,
the thrilling race with its quadruple
teams of galloping horses, combined
with the picturesque scenes representing
tiie appearance of the Star to the
Wise Men in the Desert, the moonlit
Lake in the Orchard of Pair/is, where
Ben-Hur and Iras make love while
drifting in the barge of the fair Egyptian.
the palm-wavmg worshippers 011
the Mount of Olives, simply captivate
the great audiences that are nightly
in attendance wherever it is being enacted.
As now arranged and staged by
Klaw & Erlanger, the public sees a
great spectacle which appeals not
merely on the strength of its dramatic
values, but as a colossal and picturesque
pageant. And in the chariot
race, the scene which, coupled with
the popularity of General Wallace's
book, gave the play its enormous

vugue, eigm, norses, aiaeu uy bne
most intricate mechanisms, produce
the prodigious illusion of the straggle
for supremacy in the arena of the Circus
of Antioch. Edgar Stillman Kelly's
brilliant musical score, which so
heightens the dignity and solemnity
of the Biblical narrative, and was one
of the most potent factors in its success,
is made a dominant, feature of
the present production, being interpreted
by a special orchestra and chorus
carried by the company for that
purpose.
Seats for "Ben-Hur" will be placed
on sale at .the Columbia Theatre boxoffice
Tuesday morning, Nov. loth.
Prices will range from 75c to ?2 ho. It
is advisable for persons who intend
visiting Columbia to see this great
spectacle, to reserve seats at once, by
mail. The management of the Columbia
Theatre announce that special
attention will be given to all mail orders.
A large bird flying about the Atlantic
transport liner Mackinaw in midocean
attracted the attention of the officers,
who waited until it had gone to roost
in the rigging at night and then captured
it. It was a bird hawk.

on Oct. 30, Miss G. Oswald and Mr.

Court Opens Today.
The fall term of the court of commrvn
rUoaa nnpn<5 t.his mOrninp with
that prince of good men, Judge Geo.
W. Gage, presiding. Judge Gage
postponed the opening of the court
from Monday until today on account
of Monday being salesday and yesterday
the general election. Thi9* saved
the taxpayers a considerable sum in
the matter of expense, 39 it would
have been impossible to have transacted
any business of consequence during
the two days.
The dockets are heavy and the term
will last for three weeks. Following
the common pleas court will come the
special term of the court of general
sessions on the 38th, ordered by Gov.
Ansel at the request of Solicitor Timmerman,
to try the alleged murderers
of Paul A. Williams on the circus
train on the night of October 2.
