THE GREAT EEPUBLIO ,
Its Opening Presentation a .Grand
Success.
Lost evening was the opening presen
tation of the "Groat Republic , " the pre
paration for which has so greatly Inter
ested this community for some time past.
The Great Republic" Is a historical
drama , presenting in a very vivid manner
the chief events in this nation's history
up to the close of the war and the re
turn of poaco. A largo number of the
school children with omo of the teachers
and several local amateurs took part , the
whole number participating being beIng -
Ing between 400 and 500 persons.
The presentation charmed the audi
ence greatly , and all the arrangements
moved off nicely , although to-night they
will probably move more smoothly.
Some of the scenic effects were srrand ,
and while there was no display of great
acting , yet the participants carried out
their respective parts excellently. There
has evidently boon much labor In prop
erly preparing the play , and these upon
whom the burden has fallen may well
congratulate themselves on the success ,
which will doubtless bo still greater this
evening. There will also bo a matinee
this afternoon.
Closing out our entire stock at greatly
reduced prices for SO days. Call early.

. SUSPICIOUS STEOLLEE ,
The Police Piolc Up a Mau AVho
Has Silverware.
A young man , giving his name as J.
Horch , has been arrested by the police
on suspicion , and they are holding him
under a charge of peddling without a
license. He had some silver knives ,
forks and spoons , and was trying to sell
some of them , which attracted the at
tention of the blue coats , who run him
in. Ho Boomed very surly yoatcaday
about answering any questions , and his
manner strengthened the suspicion of the
officers that ho was not exactly straight ,
but as yet they have been unable to find
any owner for the silverware. The young
man's own explanation Is that ho is ped
dling silverware in the country right
along , and merely chanced to be in the
city , but was not trying to peddle
tioro.

"Waiting for tlio I'ostofllce.
With the election of a democratic
president there have been numerous con
jectures about the position of postmaster
here , and who would probably succeed
Phil Armour. It
has been generally sup
posed that Thomas Bowman , who has
done much compalgn work for the demo
cratic party , and has proved so shrewd a
manager , would bo given the position ,
but it seems that there are other
aspirants , prominent among whom is
Mr. Wells Cook , who seeirs to bo quite
confident of gaining the appointment.
Others think that there will b'o no change
in the office until Mr. Armour's term ex
pires , ono year from next spring. The
democratic president will not bo in
augurated until March , and then there
are many more important matters to bo
adjusted during the summer months than
the Council Bluili poatoftico , BO that at
best Mr. Armour's case could not be
reached until a few mouths before his
term expires , and the party then might
as well wait and let him thus retire instead -
stead of attempting to remove him or
force him to resign.
