NEWS OF THE THEATERS

Repertoire at the Gennett. Manager Swisher, of the Gennett, announces the bill for the remainder of the week at his house as follows: Thursday matinee "An American Lady." Thursday evening "A Celebrated Case." Friday matinee "The Man of Mystery. Friday night "The Parish Priest." Saturday matinee "Driven from Home." Saturday night "A Fight for Millions." Although Mr. Swisher expected good business this week, he pleads guilty to being really surprised by the exceedingly liberal patronage. Still all those who have seen a production by the North company are not in the least surprised at the hold they take on the public, for it much be admitted, that the combined plays, specialties that relieve the waits between acts and a half hour concert preceding each performance by the lady orchestra, makes a strong combination that is certainly worth the popular prices' charged. Among tho.ne who contribute specialties are The Deagoris, Litt!e Patti, Seldon and Master Bobby St. C!ai and others. Vaudeville at the Phillips. "With the week half gone after the performances of last night, interest in the vaudeville bill at the Philips this week is growing rather than declin ing, and hundreds are enjoying the pleasing program that has been pro vided. Faithfulness of the patrons of this house, week after week, is one of the remarkable features; it appear? that the public would never tire of vaudeville. This week's bill includes a clever comedy sketch, with piano playing and singing, by the Burkes; : stunt by Lillian Murtha. the little German girl; tumbling by Master Lavender Richardson and company, motion pictures and illustrated tsongs. It is a pleasing variety. For tLe benefit of the children there will be a special matinee on Saturday nd the uaual double bill Saturday night. "My Wife's Family" Gennett. "My Wife's Family," a three act musical farce comedy by Stephens and Linton, will be presented at the Gennett nextt Monday night. This last season's greatest of musical farce successes, will probably attract large audiences" for it was a most popular hit when seen here last year. Many new and attractive musical numbers, witty dialogue and absurd situations have been added by the authors, with the result that the show is even better than before and that is saying much. Viola Gillette Opera Co. Gennett. There are many pretty and agreeable incidents in "The Girl and the Bandit," the latest comic opera success, which is heralded to appear with the Viola Gillette Opera Company at the Gennett, Thursday, Jan. 17, with the pretty and versatile prima donna contralto, Viola Gilletteo. in the star role. Miss Gillette scored one of the biggest hits of her successful career as Prince Charming in 'The Beauty and the Beast,' during the run of this extravaganza in Xew York ons entire year. The original music is catchy and enchanting, numerous numbers receiving a dozen or more encores nightly. The company comprises over fifty people, and includes a bevy of handsome show girls in the chorus, and the entire scenic production is carried by the company. Suit to Dissolve Merger.

STATE PRINTER Of . OHIO IS INDICTED

Johnson Placed Unaer Bond and Says That He Will Disprove the Charges. SEQUEL TO OUSTER SUIT GOVERNOR HARRIS ANNOUNCES THAT HE WILL TAKE NO ACTION PENDING TRIAL SPEEDY HEARING LIKELY. Publishers' Press Columbus, O., Jan. 9. John W. Johnson, of Waverly, O., state supervisor of public printing, was formally placed under arrest, and he gave bond for appearance Friday for arraignment on the charges contained in an indictment returned by the grand jury. Incident to the ouster proceedings begun by Mark Slater, who was Johnson's predecessor in the office, letters were received by judges of the circuit court and by Governor Harris. These letters bore alleged fictitious signatures. Handwriting experts testified that they were Johnson's own writing. The indictment charges that an attempt was made by this means to corruptly influence the judges of circuit court. In an interview, after his arrest, Johnson said: "I have only to say that I am innocent and will be able to prove it at the proper time. I ask the public to withhold judgment in the matter until I have an opportunity to do so. This, I expected, for I know the nature and persistence of the men who are at the bottom of the thing." Governor Harris was asked if he would remove Johnson because of his indictment. "I will at least not act hastily about the matter," replied the governor. "I do not expect to consider my duty in the premises until after Mr. Johnson has been tried, for I presume his trial will not be long delayed under the circumstances. I will not act now for two reasons. One is that an indictrrent is not conclusive of guilt. Another is that, were I to rfmcve him from office, that act might tend to prejudice his trial, and I wish to do no man an injustice." - This expression somewhat surprised thee parti?ans who supposed that Governor Harris was waiting for fin excuse to remove Johnson, a Democrat, to put a Republican in his place.

The darky received a pretty severe sentence. "Thank you, sah," said he cheerfully, addressing the judge when the sentence had been announced.
