Mr. and Mrs. Glynn Morgan are spending the week with Scranton rela tives. Last evening "A Xoble Outcast" was piesented at the Forest City opera house. Monday night's performance of "Cast Adrift" was much above the or dinary presentation of that class of Play nnd the specialties after the regu lar performance were clean, healthy and entertaining. The audience was small, which was no doubt principally on account of the short time the com pany had been adveitlsed. Tonight the play will be "From Over the Sea;" to night, "Lady Audley's Secret:" Friday evening, "The Dead Witness," and Saturday, "The Toll-Keeper's Daugh ter." Prof. John L.

BEAR IN AN EXPRESS CAR. .MceiiRcr I In n Lively Time H cnnlug I'roin n It Ir Muunmnn. Milwaukee. Wis., Dee. 2S. The highly exciting oxpeilonee which Messenger r. W. Kobe of the I'nltod Stntew lCx prrss company had with a cinnamon near on Christmas day has Just leaked out. F.ir a half-hour the bear h'eld posses sion of the express cur and Interviewed the contents to his heart's content, lunching on wny bllh and tipples until, irorged to the full, ho lay down and took a nap to be ready for business when Hie train urilvcd in Milwaukee. The l"iu anil Its mate wore a ship ment from Kansas City. Roth were- in stout cri'tes. and no danger was antici pated. The flril thing Messenger Robe knew of tioublo was nfter the train pulled out of Western Junction for this city. As he was busy at work getting his consignment of Christmas presents rnidy for delivery he felt u tap on the shoulder. He Jumped back with n start, think ing It was another hold-up. When ho looked he mude up his mind It was woise. The tap on the shoulder como from the larger of the two b"ars,whlch in come manner had loosed themselves from the cage and was out for trouble, The messenger wns not looklntr for anything of tho sort, and when Uruln offered to try hlni one fall, catch-. ns-calch-can. he declined with thanks, aril when the cinnamon colored mon ster Insisted, Robee made n sprint for the do.jr of tht car. It wns a pretty i ace between the messenger and the bear, but the former won by a head, and got through the door nnd closed It behind him Just In the f'ien of bruin. There he remained dancing on the plat foim to keep warm until the train pull ed Into the Fnlon depot. In the meantime, having the car to himself, Mr. Hruln took his time In f ampllng anything that struck his fan cy. The first thing that drew his at tention was a bag of excellent apples, which he had pulled down and devoui fd. Nothing else edible meeting his gaze after 11 tour of the car, he made a descent on the bundle of wny bills the messenger had dropped on the door when he entered the ten yard dash for the door. When the train arrived here tho em ployes of the company were notified that a bear wns running the car on that train, and a force was assembled to capture him. This took some time, and left olio railway policeman w Ith a torn co.it and a scratched f:tce. Rut In the end the bear was dragged Into his age nnd made fast. The bears were for Rlngling Hrothers at Raraboo, where they are now safe in Iron cages. DIVORCED BY PROXY. Hnvtcru U'otiinn Hired Substitutes to Live in Oklahoma. Perry. Okla., Dec. 2S.

THE MARKETS. Mall Street Itcvlmv. New York, Ucc. 28. Tho beam In tho stock market showed somowhat more confidence today und had dome success In reducing prices. The most potent factor In their favor was tho continued firmness of the money mar ket, hut much was made at one tlmo dm Ins tho day of tho reported willing hops of tho Kccivtary of the tivtuury to resign Ills olllco. Tills report was cx-(iKR-rntt'd Into a story that tho realK nntlun had nctually heon iiiudo und the etl'cctwiiH to precipitate u hoMiir move ment which was however, conllned to tin piofcssional traders nnd which reached only moderate proportions. The market allowed no chatiKc from Its recent holiday character and Its nem lilutiru of waiting for conditions In tho money market to become more defined und settled. Had It not been for the sustaining Influence of one or two of the specialties the scale would have In clined much more sharply to the side of depression. The total sales were 2!U,700 t hares.
