GOOD ACTING MARKS FAREWELL PLAYLET
OF Young Actors in "The Magic Flower" Make Favorable ' Impression on Their Par ents and Friends. Clever acting marked the class play given at the high school auditorium last evening by members of the Senior class, who presented "The Magic Flower." The play was one of the most interesting and delightful productions seen in this city for many a day. The large auditorium was well filled with parents and friends of the young people. Time was the present and all the three acts and scenes were laid on the Amandaland Islands in the attractive home of Sir Montague Martin, governor of the islands. The scenery was beautiful and brought to the mind scenes in the tropical country. The part, Sir Montague was taken in an excellent and fascinating manner by Robert Jackson. Mr. Jackson displayed remarkable histrionic ability and did his part well. This is the first time he has appeared in an amateur play and he is to be congratulated. Miss Camby Scores. Miss Mary Camby, who is always Been to good advantage in home talents, was charming last eveuing and her ease of manner on the stage was commented upon by many. She knew her lines perfectly and assisted in making the play a success. Russell Stout, who appeared recently with success in a play at the high Bchool, had the part of lit. lion. Henry Carlton, M. P. The work of Mr. Stout was unusual for an amateur. Herbert Thomson, as Mr. John Baverstock, private secretary, was a delightful surprise. After his first appearance Mr. Thompson was given several "hands." His stage presence is pleasing and he knows how to do repartee. Ernest Davis, as Major Fielding was good and Clarence Jessup as Captain Rivers was exceptionally good, especially in the scene when he returns to headquarters to notify the guests the soldiers are surrounding the home Of the governor. Miss Shera Pleases. Miss Ruth Shera as "Stella De Gex" was one of the"iaits" of the evening. Misii Shera represented a typical theatrical woman and did her part exceptionally well. Her make up was good and she was perfectly at home on the stage. She was very clever in trying to make all the men in the party fall in love with her. Captain Stanley, A. 1). C, was impersonated in a remarkable manner by Mr. Clem Ferguson. Captain Stanley is one of the many soldiers to fall in love with Ethel Carlton taken by Mary Camby and in the end is fortunate in securing her love. At all tims Mr. Ferguson was natural which added to his success in playing his part. Helen Kenworthy, as Mrs. Merton Sykes-Merton, was one of the best members of the entire cast and appeared to good advantage in every act. Her part was certainly well taken and reflected credit upon her. Marlowe Klute appeared in the role of Sentry, Wilson Smith as a Butler and Arlie Hose as the Footman. The cast was well selected and the Senior class is to be congratulated upon the suocess of the affair. The cast was coached by Miss Clara Comet ock. A matinee performance was held at the Auditorium and was well attended. An orchestra furnished the feuisic during the intermissions. LATE MARKET NEWS CHICAGO GRAIN Furnished by Correll and Thompson.

Following the operation a rubber drain six inches long and a half inch wide, which had been placed in her neck, could not be found by the surgeon after search had been.

JUAICEZ, Mex., June 4. Reports of bickering between General Carranza and General Villa received apparent confirmation today in dispatches from Duranga, giving details of a military reorganization of the Constitutionalists.

Itis well understood here that many Constitutionalist leaders have been jealous of Villa's prominence. Carranza Hates Villa. He has also been placed on Carranza's "black book" because of his open opposition to the turbulent attitude taken by the Constitutionalists' pro

visional president toward the United States. Villa's "illness" In Chihuahua, which is announced as the cause of his failing to come here, is believed to be due to hjs desire not to get too far from the base of operations of the rebels. His coming to the border might give his enemies an opportunity to eliminate him altogether. If he can make a quick journey to Torreon to appeal to his army, his foes will not dare to try to force him out. practically the entire fighting machine of the rebels is loyal to Villa and would mutiny in his support if he requested the soldiers to do ao. Summoned by Villa, several of his friends arrived in Chihuahua today from Juaraz for a conference with the rebel warrior. These included Senor De La Barza, Villa's financial agent, and Senor Calzadero, whom Villa appointed to direct railroad operation after he established his headquarters at Juarez.
