Dallas, Texas, Jan. 4.—The case of the state of Texas vs. Frank Mc Cue, who stands charged by indict ment with murder In connection with the death of Earl Mabrv, has been set by Judge Nelms for trial on Monday, Jan. ,27, and a special venire of 150 men has been ordered by the court from which to select a jury. The Ο :rol.er term of the criminal district court will be concluded to day, and the minutes will be signed by the judge. The grand jury will make its final report and be dis charged. The January term will begin Mon day, January 6, at which time the new grand jury will be sworn and chàrged by the court. It is expected that the new term will be a busy one. for in addition to numerous other cases, there are thirty-three murder cases upon the docket which •will be set for trial. By reason of his former connec tion with the office of the county at torney and as counsel for the prose cution, Judge Nelms is disqualified in several cases. Ball-Yater. The following has been received at this office: "Mrs. Alexander Norwood Yater requests the honor of your presence at the marriage of her daughter, Jennie Lucile, to Mr. John Oalhoun Ball Wednesday evening, January 15, 1908, at 8 o/clock, 411 North Main street. Cleburne. Texas." Miss Yater attended Trinity Uni versity last year, and has many friends among the young people of the city who unite in extending con gratulations in advance. DOME KKGIMTKIi KKPOUT. j Many Visitors Climb to Highest Point in State Capital Building Austin, Texas, Jan. 4.—The I watchman in the dome of the state j house keeps a register, where all ι visitors to the dome are requested to j write their names and place of resi dence, so that an accurate number of vleito.'S can be ascertained. Dur ing the past year 32,529 people vis ited the dome, 1048 of them being from other states and nations. Dur j ing July the number reached 4706, I which was larger than any other I month. Played Joke on Sheriff. Sheriff Forbes has about arrived j at the conclusion that misfortune ac- companies him on his hunting trips. Several days ago he went, with a party of friends to the Mountain i Peak country and lost a grip con- taining his supply of ammunition. New Year's day he made another trip to Mountain Peak, this time ac companied by B. F. Thornhill and T. J. Bullard. Having no hunting coat. Sheriff Forbes borrowed one from Mr. Bullard. When the hunt- ing £ield was reached Sheriff Forbes took the coat from the surrey, and as he buttoned it around his fifty two inches of chest expansion, re marked that the pockets seemed well filled with ^cartridges. Several hundred y&rds from the vehicle fii covey of birds was found and the big sheriff cracked away at them with both barrels. Inserting his hand in a pocket of the coat for cartrid ges he found It to be filled with small rocks. An investigation of the other receptacles gf the garment re vealed the same state of affairs, much to the chagrin of the sheriff. When it dawned upon him that he j had been made the victim of a joke he enjoyed a good natured laugh with the other members of the par- ty. ...Ferndell Canned Goods....

N« JAIL IS OVERFLOWING City Authorities Issue Orders to Arrest All Crowds on Street. Muncle, Ind.. Jan. 4.—Whether to bring the state troops to Muncle to put down the daily outbreaks re sulting from the street railway strike was a question decided in the affir mative by the city and traction offi cials last night. The mayor and the chief of police are strongly opposed to the appearance of soldiers on the street cars. On the other hand, Ad jutant General Perry declared that the rioting must stop. Rioting in connection with the street railway strike was resumed yesterday. The cars started running on regular schedule at. 7 o'clock without interruption and were not molested for several hours. A crowd attacked two cars in the outskirts of the city shortly-after 10 o'clock, hurling stones and other missies, and after driving off the crews, com pletely wrecked the cars. Squads of police hurried to the place and over fifty arrests were made. The jail is nearly filled with rioters and orders were repeated to arrest every mem ber of a street gathering that con tained more than three persons. There was no attempt at violence in downtown sections of the city. Two rioters were badly hurt, one of them being cut about the throat with a knife, but not fatally hurt. The Great Divide. Henry Miller, the distinguished actor manager, w'll bring "The Great Divide," which has won the recognition as "the long awaited 'great American plav,' to the opera house on Tuesday, January 7. The coming of this famous drama, which lias recently been presented at the Princess and Daly's theatres in New York for over 500 performances, has for some time been held by our play lovers as a bright spot in the indefinite theatrical future, and this positive announcement of the date of the engagement will be greeted with pleasure. "The Great Divide" has added much to the celebrity of Mr. Miller as a producing manager and brought from dramatic obscuri ty into permanent renown an author who will have to be reckoned with from now on in the American drama. Wm. Vaughn Moody had already be come established as this country's leading younger poet, and through his occupancy of the chair of Eng lish in the University of Chicago, his several publications relating to the language have long been quoted as' an authority upon English litera-1 ture. Bur. until Mr. Miller produced "The Great. Divide," even Mr. Moo dy's best friends never suspected that the brilliant young poet could write a play which would be not only the most successful of its time from a pecuniary standpoint, but which would also be declared by leading critics to "set a new mark in_ American drama." The play is in three acts, the first two being repre sented as taking place in Arizona and the third in Massachusetts. In a way, the drama is a conflict be tween the spirit of the East and the spirit of the west. An eastern wom an weighted down by generations of tradition and conventionality, is strangely wooed and still more strangely won by a western man un fettered by custom and ignorant of restraint of mind or action. The mating of these opposite natures provokes great storm and stress, and raises many intensely interest ing and highly dramatic situations. One must see this masterful exposi tion of American manhood and womanhood as portrayed in this really great play to understand ade quately how the storms are weather ed and the problem solved.

He will 'announce short ly for place No. 1. to succeed Hon. J. M. Alderdice, who is now a candi date for state superintendent. Xew IiUinl)er Yard for Italy.

There seemed to be reason for the overwhelming ofrtihiisin which predominat Lt optimism, coupled with that of reform, which must fiist c'he wrong before eradicating too much for a nation, where reservation of confidence was ly thing that could safely car vast credit in existence. The (of the affair was as simple as unintentional on the part who incited it. The results. however, were grave enough to in duce different methods and much earnest thought. "We have learned thai to attempt to pull the top man down from the ladder of progression means to bring the whole affair down about our ears. We have found that un tempered speech is more costly than any other extravagance in which we have indulged, that ill-advised and unjust legislation is a luxury which the country cannot cultivate with safety, and that tact and statesman ship mean as much to the nation as the treasury, or its banks. We have learned that we cannot ruthlessly lose faith in our fellow men and prosper. If this stands with us thru the coming years, teaching us not j only to have confidence, but to be worthy of it. the cost of the past ex perience, severe as it has been, will be well worth while." The opening year is pointed to as full of hopefulness, but attention is called to the need of individual as well as concerted action in the up buiding of the devastated credit, the promotion of industrial peace and the spread of the gospel of confi dence.
