Hal Rcid'a play "Human Hearts,"
replete with interest, mirth and
pathos will be presented at Lloyd's
opera house on March 5th and no
lover of the drama should fail to
attend the performance. But few
traveling companies carry so much
and elaborate scenery. No expense
haB been spared in the effort to
make this performance in every
way artistically rcarstic. one
breathes the atmosphere of the
simple farm life, and one's heart
throbs with the sufferings of
plain country folks, who engage
the attention with their homely
ways and simple nature. The
peop'c of this town and vicinity
will have the opportunity to laugh
away their cares, and sympathize
with sorrow, if they go to sec Hall
Reid's very successful play'Hmnan
Hearts". No one will regret the
tiirtcspcnt in witnessing tins

who have witneslseMljqjjrcatest of

and all will not only be chastened
by pity for the afflicted, but will be
refreshed by laughter in plenty, for
which the playwright has skillfully
planned.
Leading A Qniot Life.
Mrs. Mary Laue one of the chief
actors in the Odessa tragedy one
rear ago last December, has been
confined in the county jail nearly a
year. While she is in one sense
a prisoner she is treated as a high
grade one. not being confined
to a cell, and enjoying some of the
privileges of the sheriffs household.
She reads docs a great deal of fancy
work, and probably devotes some
of the idle time to retrospection.
Few visitors call upon her, Indeed
about the only visitor is her uncle,
D. Laue. She takes a walk Cut
side once and a while but is al
ways accompanied by some other
woman. She recently visited one of
the dry goods store up town and
made some purchases but was not
recognized. There is considerable
speculation as to what the court
will do in her case, but there is a
belief that when Dlnsmorc'a fate is
finally settled she will be given her
freedom. Kearney Hub.
