March 9 "A Romance of Coon Hollow." PHILLIPS. Entire Week High class vaudeville Custer's Last Fight" -Gennett. "Custer's Last Fight" is the attrac tion at the Gennett for next Saturday and patrons of that house will have an opportunity of seeing the biggest melodramatic success of the season. It is a historical play written by Hal lieid, and produced under the personal direction of Aubrey Mittenthal, manager and proprietor of "A Desperate Chance," "How Hearts Are.Iirok en" and other successful plays well fcnown to Richmond. This alone should be a guaranty of perfection to the theatre going public. Mr. Mitten thal has provided for this attraction the largest company in the dramatic field and a special production of beautiful scenery. In addition to the white actors, there is a band of fullblooded Indians, horses, dogs and wolves. A feature of this engagement will be a street parade, headed by "Custer's Last Fight" Indian brass band. There will also be a band concert before each performance in fiont of the theatre. May Irwin Gennett. It is said that George V. Hobart the author of "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews," the new play he has written for May Irwin and in which that comedienne will be seen at the Gennett on Friday night, March 8th, has provided what , comes nearer to being a straight comedy than anything more than a farce, but yet an effort .has been made at ro-M-c pretentious things than is usual iiiiJcr the same circumstances. MI3S Irwin has in the new play a character much to her liking, and one which she is permitted to do work of a little more serious nature than has been her custom. The role of "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews," which is assumed by Miss Irwin, is that "of a societywoman who believing that her first husband has departed this life, makes a second venture in the matrimonial sea and marries a Colonel Andrews. No sooner has the ceremony been per formed than a message comes which leads her to suppose that she has unwittingly committed bigamy. Of course it all turns out right in the end, but many amusing complications ' ensue. A phonograph plays an impor tant part In the development of the plot, it being believed that this is the first time that a talking machine has ever been in connecion with a play. Miss Irwin has just completed a successful run of two months In New York at the Bijou theatre, and will be accompanied here by the same company that supported her in the metropolis. Her new songs this season are "Save a Liltle Money for a Rainy Day," "Matrimony," "Honora," "Moses Andrew Jackson, good bye," "Bonny Sue," "Moonshine" and "Lady." The Big Production of "Coon Hollow." A natural, consistent comedy drama, flavored with the breezy local color of Tennessee life, and permeated with the soft Southern atmosphere of Its valleys. Is "A Romance of Coon Hollow" which will be seen at the Gennett Saturday night, March 9, with a wealth of scenery and mechanleal effects. The success of the play, now in its eleventh season, lies in its splendid construction, and in a rich humor that is natural and infectious. The realistic mechanical effects used in elaborating the work add3 to its Interest. The story finds its origin in the romantic glen in East Tennessee known as "Coon Hollow." Among the magnificent scenic effect3 are a steamboat race on the Mississippi at night, both boats lighted up and under full head of steam; a ponderous cotton compress in operation, and a moonlight view of "Coon Hollow," painted from life. A band of plantation darkies are also seen in the songs, dances and antics that make the colored race a humorous factor in history. "A Romance of Coon Hollow" is 4iow In its twelfth year on the road, nd that fact alone reveals its merit. "The Little Joker" Gennett. Miss Marie Glazier of "The -Little . Joker" Company, which comes to the Gennett March 6. is without louDt, one of the most strikingly beautiful women on the stage today, beinj? of that dark brunette type so often quite erroneously described as coming only from the Southern or warmer climates, while Miss Glazier claims Wisconsin as her state, and the town of Kenosha as her birthplace. After graduating from the ladies seminary, located In her native city. Miss Glazier took up drawing, which, she had early evinced a liking for, with the intention of ultimately becoming an artist, and with that object in view moved to Chicago. .While there she formed the acquaintance of a young lady who was at that time, rehearsing for a coming proDOLLAR PACKAGE : :; FC3EE : : Man Medicine Free.'

May Irwin, Who Comes. to the Gennett on Friday Night, March 8.

duction of a coming opera. Being of very prepossessing appearance the manager prevailed upon her, to enter the ranks, during the run in Chicago, which she did more in a spirit of fun, and to be with her friend, than with any serious intention of permanently remaining on the stage, but her strik ing appearance and figure, and sweet soprano voice began to attract attention, and almost before she was aware of it, she was playing one of the lesser roles in the piece and cast for the principal part in t-he opera to follow. Even to this day, Miss Glazier asserts that she cannot account for the way that she was drawn Into the theatrical fold, but she admits that sho has never regretted it and.would not desert the stage now, even though she could become a female Rembrandt. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Manager Murray is able to announce a splendid bill, to all appearances, for this week.

DEAF MUTE DIVORCE CASE AN INTERPRETER IS USED Judge Fox Declares that the Plaintiff, Thos. Marsden, is Not Entitled to a Divorce, But that the Defendant Is. Thomas L. Marsden, a deaf mute, was in the circuit court yesterday for the purpose of securing a divorce from Elizabeth E. Marsden, also deaf mute. After . hearing the testimony of Airs. Carrie J. Johnson, mother of the plaintiff, the court rul ed that Marsden had no cause for complaint but that his wife probably had, and if a divorce were' desired, Mrs. Marsden would have to file cross bill asking for a divorce. With Mrs. Marsden was her broth er, William Tubesing. In making his ruling tne court addressed his re marks to Mr. Tubesing, who stated that his sister desired, a divorce but that she would not file a cross bill. The court told Mr. Tubesing that he had better consult with his sister be fore reaching a decision and the case was postponed until next Saturday.. There was some confusion in court when it was announced by Judge Fox that a divorce case in which' the principals were deaf mutes, was to be heard. It was first thought that the testimony of the plaintiff and defend ant would have to be written by them, then it was discovered that Mr. Tubesing would be able to act as an interpreter. - However, his servicete were not ' required owing to the ab rupt ending of the case. Troubles Are Recited. Mrs. Johnson stated that Mrs. Marsden had deserted her husband in 1902 and had never lived with him since. She said that Mrs. Marsden's family constantly used thejir influ ence to cause ill feeling between Mr and Mrs. Marsden. Mrs. Johnson also stated that she had appeared in. the city court some time ago ss a prosecuting witness against her sou, he having committed assault and bat tery on her. She excused his actions by stating that he was drunk at the time. Mrs. Johnson also testified that Marsden had been addicted to strong drink and that this was one of the reasons his wife abandoned him Tne witness stated that Mrs. Marsden frequently drank with her hus band and became intoxicated. Mrs Johnson said that one time she called at her son's home and had found in the basement nearly one hundred empty whiskey and beer bottles The i prosecutor asked the witness if Mrs. Marsden had not been influenced in leaving her husband by his actions with a woman, also a deaf mute, who had been employed as a domestic by Mrs. Johnson. The witness stated that this incident took place some time after Mrs. Marsden deserted her husband. Capital Stock Increased. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Richmond Hat Manufacturing company Friday night in the rooms of the commercial club in the Ma sonic temple, it was decided to in crease the capital stock of the com pany from $25,000 to $30,000. , It is said that the- increasej. in -the stock was made that the plant might be enlarged, although one of the directors of the concern said jesterday that no such step would be taken until next year. Future of Plant Discussed. The general ; policy and future of the plant were discussed by the stockholders and all agreed that it should continue, as the orders placed with the concern at the nrpspnt time are so large that the output is immediately taken up. With a new lease on life the plant is expected to grow with leaps and bounds and will hereafter be able to a greater extent to "Seep up with the demands placed npon it, owing to the increase in the capital stock. The stockholders will meet again next week at the call of the president of the company. j

HE NEEDED "AMMUNITION

This Saloon Organizer Really Meant Half Hundred Dollars, but Liquor Dealers Took Him at his Word and Sent Him Fifty Cartridges. Phil Heise, who has ben in Rich mond on more than one occasion endeavoring to effect an organization of the local liquor dealers is pretty well known throughout the state, and the . ' following special from down in South ern Indiana will be of more than passing Interest in this community: Washington, Ind., March 2. Saloon men of this city played a joke' on Philip Heise. who has been traveling over the state, trying to organize the saloons by congressional districts for common protection against the tem perance forces. Heise had been at tending the mee'ting of the legislature and he wrote to saloon men here, saying: "You see boys, I am right here on the firing line, and I am going to stay till the fight is over, but a fel low can't do without ammunition. Please get together and send me fifty rounds It was plain that Heise wanted $50, but the saloon men here, who did not take kindly to his efforts to organize them, refused to construe the letter as intended, and they bought fifty blank cartridges, 22 caliber, and sent them to Heise, with the followin explanation: "You must be careful how you use this ammunition. It is dangerous, and we don't want to get into trou ble." Mr, Heise's reply has not been re corded. CASE IS SET FOR TRIAL Suit Against George Hazzard of New Castle, Will Be Heard in Rush County, April 23. New Castle, Ind., March 2. After many efforts and much sparring with the attorneys for the defense, Pros ecuting Attorney Barnard has finally succeeded in getting the trial of Geo. Hazzard to the Brown forgery charge set down for a hearing in the Rush circuit court on April 23. The affidavit in the case was filed last October and was set down for trial in the local circuit court in November. On the date set the defense presented a petition for- a continuance on the grounds that Mr. Hazzard had been unable to locate Julian Olds, his former secretary, whose testimo ny in the case was of the greatest importance to him. The reauest was granted and another date 'set "When this came around the defense re quested a change of venue and the case wa3 sent to Rush county. The state feels considerably strengthened in its case against Haz zard since the supreme court's ruling on the Nelson Allen affidavit, al though the Brown charge is some what different in that the Mooreland bank president alleges that his name was forged to a biography contract, while the Allen charge was that the name had been forged to the sub scription list. It has repeatedly and confidently been stated by those who are familiar with Mr. Hazzard's movements and intentions that the historian will re turn to face the charge against him. His whereabouts at present are not generally known, but he is supposed to be in Washington, although many believe that he has left there. The state's attorney is determined in the matter that the case shall be disposed of. Either Mr. Hazzard will have to appear, or his bond will be forfeited. "JIMMY" IS A MYSTERY Convict in Northern Prison Who Ab solutely Refuses to Disclose His Identity. Mnucie, Ind., March 2. "Jimmy" Stanford, a convict in prison at Michigan City, still refuses any information concerning himself, nor will he give the address of family or friends. and for tnls reason, it is said, he will not be paroled, but may be compelled to serve the maximum time of sentence. Stanford, after coming to this city, won the confidence of Joseph Hummel, a local jeweler, becoming virtually manager of Hummel's ttore. Taking advantage of his opportunities he sold several thousand dollars worth of diamonds on credit, collect ed what money he could, helped him self to what remained and disappear ed. A year later he was captured. He made no defense, nor would he explain the mystery surrounding him. While in this city, although of He braic faith, he pretended to be a Catholic, and he rose high in the councils of the local church, and was prominent in Catholic church society. His peculiar facial appearance led to his capture. State Agent Investigates. State Agent Hiser, of the State Board of Charities, was in the -city yesterday for the purpose of investigating the case of a poor child, whose name he did not divulge. Mr. Hiser also looked over the local charitable situation ana expressed himself as "wel1 Pleased. The Abbott Flineral.

A "HEN-PECKED" HUSBAND JUDGE WAS KIND TO HIM Cephus Burns Had Evidence to Show that He Had Few Happy Hours at Home and He Was Not Fined for Assaulting Wife.

Because Cephus Burns, colored, was a hen-pecked husband and h'ad been the victim of continual nagging on the part of his wife since their marriaere. three vears aero. Judce J , . A , Converse in the city court yesterday found Burns not guilty of assault and battery on his alleged "better half." In making his ruling Judge Converse stated that both Burns and his wife were to blame for the family row which took place at their home in the north end Friday evening. Ho said that Mrs. Burns had no right to continually annoy her husband by "nagging" at him and that Burns had no right to slap, hit or kick the plain tiff or any other woman. He then dismissed the case. Patience Was Exhausted. It seems by the testimony in the case that Burns lost his long con tained self-control last evening about 6:30 o'clock when Mrs. Burns accus cd him with being attentive to other women. A domestic jar resulted, in which, according to Mrs. Burns, tho plaintiff in the case was assaulted then shoved out of the house and the doors locked and nailed against her, Like Bill Bailey in the well known song of that name, she had to "stay out in the cold" until Officer Bundy arrived on the scene. Broke Up the Furniture. Burns so lost, his self-control la'st evening that after he had expelled his wife from the house he proceeded to smash up the furniture in a wholesale manner. The dining room table was kicked over, a door wrenched off the kitchen stove, dishes and ether small articles hurled hither and yon about the house. Burns was arrested about 7 o'clock in the Schell saloon He is known as an industrious hard working man. Woman's Tongue is Sharp. Burns stated that since he married the woman, who is 'his second wife his life and soul had almost been worried out of him by her sharp tongue. He bore the hazing in si lence and always supported her well Her appearance Indicated this. He said that he did not strike her last night, but he did slap her twice and she ran out of the house, then threw a bowlder through the door. He charged that he was the plaintiff's third husband and she admitted it, stating that her first two husbands had been divorced from her. A third divorce suit is now promised as Mrs Burns states that she will never live with her husband again. Proofs Following Proofs On the Heels of Proofs. The Root Juice people came to Richmond by invitation to prove the reports that were circulating In rela tion to the wonderful healing merits of the peculiar compound. Hundreds of people that heard of the great reme dy went to Luken's drug store and bought some of it and after taking it a few days many of them returned for more and urged their neighbors to get some of it as it had done so much good for them. Many testimonials were published until it became use less as so many people of Richmond know what it has done for them. It has certainly proved to be the greatest medicine known for the Stomach, Llv er. Kidneys and Blood, as it heals the linings of the stomach and bowels and gives health and strength to the liver and kidney, the waste material, acids and other poisons are soon removed in a natural way from the system and health soon returns out of all the hun dreds that purchased the remedy. Not a single one nas Deen neara to con demn it. It is sold for $1 a bottle; : for $2.50. A. G. Luken & Co. will wholesale it to druggists tributary to them. FOUR MEN SEEK A SNAP They All Yearn to Capture the Post mastership of Village of Greentown. Kokomo, Ind., March 2. Green town is having an interesting contest over the question who shall be the next postmaster there. The term of the present postmaster, C. E. Disbro, will not expire for a year. He has filled the position acceptably to all the patrons of the r office, and could get a reappointment, probably, if he should seek it. A few days ago he announced that he would not ask for the place again. Immediately four candidates for the office came forward. They are . Cornelius Powell, A. A. Covalt, Frank Manring and Charles Templin. Tbey began soliciting support as energetically as if the vacancy were only a month away, instead of a year. Scarlet Fever at New Paris. New Paris, Ohio, March 2. Scarlet fever has now made its appearance here, the younger son of John Tracy on the National road being the victim. It is supposed he contracted the disease while in Richmond a week ago. The family is quarantined. One of the sons of Silas Horner, a neighbor living near, went" to the house before the nature of the sickness was known, and as a consequence the Hor ner family is also quarantined. .1KB Kmd Yea Rava tezn 8k1
