ANNOUNCEMENTS.
An emphatic protest was made by
Russian officials regarding ttio produc
tion of "Darkest Russia' in New York
recently. Tbo reproduction of the work
ings of the secret police, the Siberian
convict system and other interesting
features of Russian life, were not to the
liking of the Russian officials but an. in
Testigation proved that only truthful
scenes were represented and tho play
was allowed to continue its successful
run.
The Russian heir apparent is referred
to in the newspapers as the Czarowitz
the Czarowich-the Czarevicb, and the
Czarewich. It is hard to tell which is
which. In tho great play depicting lifo
and scenes in the Czai's realm, ''Dark
est Russia," the prtsent Czar plays an
important part. As a reflex of tho
peculiar habits and customs of this
powerful nation, "Darkest Russia holds
the mirror up to nature in a truthful
manner. New features in tho way of
scenic effects have been added for the
fourth year of "Darkest Russia" that
places this interesting play in the front
rank of romantic dramas.
The dramatic novelty of the week will
be the production for the first timo in
this city Saturday, Oct., .'trd at the Lans
ing Theatre, of the comedy drama "Ten
nessee's Pardner ' by Scott Marble, the
well known playwright. The play which
is on the order, ol "M'liss, "Golden
Giant' and other great successes has
been produced over livo hundred times
and comes to us with the critical en
dorsement of well known dramatic
writers and the prestigo of long engage
ments in the principal cities. Tho play
is an original and delightful romance of
the mines, which was suggested to tho
author by BertHarte'spicturesquestory
of "Tenne6se3s Pardner." The hero is
a gambler named "Caleb Swan,' the
heroine a girl from Tennessee, called
"Tennessee Kent." ller father has died
in the mines two years previously and
by his wish the rough miners have kept
his death'a secret. "Swan" is the girl's
guardian and send3 her letters from
time to time purporting to come from
her father, but as some of tho letters
failed to reach her she decided to visit
the mines. Her unexpected arrival
creates consternation and how to break
the news is the question. She is put
off with various excuses from time to
time and in the meantime several excit
ing events occur at the mine. "Swan's"
pardner has secretly married and in the
bride he brings home Swan recognizes
an adventuress who has simply married
his pardner in order to rob him for tho
benefit of her lover who poses as her
brother. In order to give the bride and
groom a proper reception the miners fix
up the cabin in a ludicrous fashion-Thc
Golden Nuggett Quartette sing popular
songs and the Rocky Mountain band
give an amusing performance. Swan
promises the adventuress that he wi 1
not tell her husband who she was if sho
in return will promise to be a faithful
wife. In order to carry out her scheme
sho promiees-"Tennessee Keut" over
hears the plot to rob Swan's pardner,
takes the gold out of the box and lets
tbo adventuress' brother steal an empty
box. The brother is recognized as a
thief and is shot. IIow tho wife repents,
and how Swan tells "Tennessee" of her
father's death, and how they find they
love one another forms th2 interesting
story of the play's four acts. Unique
chare c'.ers introduced are
f!iirilikpr
uewiiitier
Hay," a chronic and amusing liar; his
wife, Mrs. Hay of Vinagery temperment;
"Spike" the amusing local coroner and
various other typical characters seen
around a mining camp. It is imyossiblo
in this brief space to give more than
the merest outlino of tho plot, but our
-theatregoers aro familiar with the story
and the excellent company that will
produce it here so can anticipate the
delightful entertainment that will ba
given. Seats now on salo at box office.
Prices regular.

We have purchased (because It is
just the thins; we have needed) the
Columbian Cyclopedia, library, con
sisting of the Columbian encyclopedia,
which Is also an unabridged dictionary
thirty-two volumes of convenient size
neatly bound, four volumes of thean
nual cyclopedic review, four volumes of
current hlstoryfor 1896, one Columbian
atlas and the neat convenient revolving
oak cos ewlth glass doors. From the
evidence obtained we find that some
part of this work Is placed In the
best private and public library in this
country an dabroad, for the reason
that they- cover a field relative to 'the
past, present and future progress
and achievements of the human race
not attempted by others. The plan
is original, and the work throughout
is carefully and ably written.
Current history contains 220 pages,
is Issued two months after the cloBe
of each quarter, this length of time
being taken to reduce all Information
received to be an absolutely reliable
and authentic basis. If these are
kept on file, this magazine will prove
a permanent and Invaluable record of
all important movements in political,
social religious, literary, educational
scientific and industrial affairs.
The magazine will be lndlspcnslble
to all people who have encyclopedias,
as It will be needed to keep these
works up to date. To those who do
not own encyclopedias it will be doubly
valuable as their source of information
Is more limited. About March of
each year the four volumes of current
history are bound Into one volume,
known as the Annual Cyclopedic Re
view. There are now four of these
bound volumes covering yearsl892-3-4
and 5. The work has for endorsers
and subscribers in this city and state
such people as Mr. Gere, edltor-lnchlef
of the Lincoln State Journal,, Hon.
Joe Hartley, state treasurer, Hon. W.
J. Bryan, Mr. Miller, editor of the
