EARLY in FEBRUARY Deal on With the InterState Association Toward That End Manager Bosse of the local opera house informed us this morning that he was endeavoring to make arrangements with the Inter-State association to put on a turn in this city twice a week, commencing in the fore part of February and to continue until spring. The company that showed last evening at the opera house was a sample of some of the material used by this association and from what Decatur people saw, they will no doubt welcome vaudeville to our city. This is the kind of entertainment 9 at the people seem to want and as Mr. Bosse desires to be up to date he is working hard to perfect arrangements in this line. The Inter-State association is one of the best on the road and Mr. Bosse would n.«2re m’stake in closing a contract with .his company. He states that he will know positively in a very few days as to what the association can do for him, and he may have some good news in this respect to spring on the people. •— THE HAVILAND CASE Concluded at Noon—McConnehey Divorce Case This Afternoon

WANTED HIS MONEY Took Possession of Moving Picture Machine and Was Charged With Larceny That troubles come to theatrical people as well as any one else, was demonstrated Friday night, when John

Peel, a member ot tn e interstate vaudeville association which held sway at the Bosse opera house, was arrested by Policeman Joel Heymolde on a charge of grand larceny and was forced to spend a portion of the night in a cell at the jail. The arrest of Mr. Peel was caused by the manager of the company, F. S. Schmid, who alleged in his affidavit that Peel stole and carried away a moving picture machine, valued at one hundred and fifty dollars, and refused to deliver the same to its rightful owner. Policeman Joel Reynolds was pressed into service and immediately proceeded to the Park hotel, where Peel was boarding end arrested the gentleman and conducted him to jail, where he remained until Saturday a. m. at nine o’clock, when he was brought down and arraigned before the mayor. Mr. Peel was represented by Attorney D. B. Erwin and the State by H. B. Heller and in a very few moments the court had all the evidence necessary and dismissed the defendant, stating that the state had failed to make a case. The evidence was clearly in favor of Peel, who testified that he was under contract with Mr. Schmid to play vaudeville and that the management was indebted to him in the sum of eight dollars and fifty cents for services rendered, and that after repeated demands for the amount, he was never paid. Friday night after the performance, he escorted the electrician of the company, who was operating the moving picture machine and asked him for the outfit which was i turned over to him voluntaryily and he immediately took the same to his room at the Park hotel expecting to hold the same until his salary was paid. He denied stealing the machine and stated that he never knew he was accused of the fact until he was arrested by the officer. He brought the machine into court and informed the mayor, that he did not care for the same, as it did not belong to him. and he could make whatever disposition he saw fit of the same. Mr. Peel told a straightforward story which was confirmed by several other witnesses and from the appearances of the verdict the court undoubtedly was convinced The company disbanded Friday night and the various memhens of the company scattered in different directions looking for new jobs.

That our American forests abound in plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers.
