Well Played Well Staged
As the Sun Went Down was well
played well staged and the com
pany and management enjoyed the
patronage of one of the best audi
ences seen in the Temple theatre
during the season But the writer
has serious misgivings as to the util
ity of such performances before the
youth of either sex The moral was
clearly shown but amid such open
and bold circumstances and settings
as to spoil the teaching God has
placed on this earth no flower to be
so tenderly protected as womanhood
Playrights are overlooking this fact
in depicting so frequently upon the
stage the unfaithful wife or in plac
ing woman in compromising posi
tions Not the how of the play but
the what is open to criticism

Readers of Augusta J Evans fa
mous novel St Elmo and they
are legion will be interested in the
announcement that Grace Haywards
authentic dramatization is to be pre
sented at the Temple theatre Sat
urday evening May 21
The play is one of the genuine
successes of the year This is not
surprising as the book has long been
recognized as a standard of fiction
It was written many years ago but
is equally as popular as in our grand
parents time In fact book sellers
say that the sales for the past three
years have exceeded that of any re
cent work of fiction It has been
translated in a dozen languages and
although typically American in
thought and action has a tremen
dous vogue abroad
Miss Haywards dramatization ad
heres very closely to the story of
the book and to this is probably due
in large measure the instantaneous
success of the play
In point of box office receipts and
public interest St Elmo has been
a surprise to everyone It has of
fered additional proof if indeed any
was needed that American play
goers want a wholesome well told
story and will take it every time in
preference to risque importations
A company of unusual excellence
will present the play in this city
Curtain promptly at 9 oclock
The Girl from Porto Rico
A fine audience greeted the per
formance last Thursday evening by
local talent of The Girl from Porto
Rico This three act comedy had
little to recommend it but fun claim
ing no plot or moral but there was
lots of that article and it pleased
the audience to be thus amused
And best of all the box receipts were
quite satisfactory to the ladies of
the Episcopal church under whose
patronage the play was given for the
benefit of their proposed new edifice
S C Beach put the play on for the
ladies and he was assisted by Mrs
James Hatfield Mrs S C Beach

ent county superintendent and the
teachers of the central school build

vice in his position in the school for
so many years
Tom has resigned his position on

It was a gracious expression fully
appreciated

LIVELY TIMES IN POLICE COURT
Several Arrests Saturday Afternoon
Officer Resisted and Trouble En
sues Considerable Excitement At
tends Efforts to Place In Jail Two
Intoxicated Offenders Against the
Dignity of the Law
Main avenue was the scene of un
usual excitement Saturday afternoon
attending the arrest of an intoxi j
cated citizen or two The difficulty i
started when Policeman Henry Trout
attempted to arrest Kent Walker a
young man employed in the McCook j
Brick Cos works and who was in
toxicated He resisted the officer
and was assisted by a sympathetic
crowd which quickly assembled Af j
ter considerable excitement Walker
was finally placed in the county jail
with the assistance of Sheriff Hlg
gins and several citizens who offered
assistance or were called upon by the
officer The officer after being
knocked down by Walker and being
relieved of his mace by sympathizers
in the crowd secured his club and
the prisoners gory condition as
he was taken to the county jail
preached a rather more eloquent tem i
perance sermon than most speakers
can produce
Shortly after this arrest Marshal
Osborn and an assistant E F
born appeared on the scene and plac
ed Lacy Cotton in the city jail La
cy had been mixed up in the resist
ance given the officer in arresting
Walker and was very much the worse
for some of his experiences before
the marshal took him in charge
Both of the prisoners later in the
day appeared before Police Judge
Heaton and gave an account of them
selves Cotton was assessed 25 and
costs a total of 3195 Walker drew
45 and costs 4955 in all Cotton
paid up and was released Walker
remained in confinement until the
first of this week
The reader may if he feels so
disposed draw his own conclusions
or moral from this disgraceful affair
School Census
An effort is being made by the
school authorities to get the most
complete school census possible
Family cards have been sent out to
every family represented in the
school It is desirable that the par
ents fill out these cards and send
them back to school as soon as pos
sible A word of explanation is due
The size of the school census and
total population of the town are im
mediately essential in giving the
town influence in a commercial way
In the state at large we want to
boost for McCook The school dis
trict draws state apportionment
money for every person between ihe
ages of Jix and twenty one in the
school district Every one should
co operate with the school authori
ties by filling cut carefully all
blanks on the cards sent home
