Raymond Hitchcock
Raymond Hitchcock is announced as
the attraction to occupy the stage of
the Majestic to-morrow evening. Mr.
IHitchcoek has a new play this season,
entitled "The Beauty Shop, a musical
comedy written by 'Channing Bollock,
Rennold Wolf, with music by ChaTles
J. Gebest. Almost any play that en
lists the services of Raymond Hitch
cock satisfies the expectancy of this
comedian's following who 'have watched
his career in a large repertoire of suc
cessful productious in the field of farce,
comic opera, musical melodramas and
comedy, therefore it is reasonable to
expect that Mr. HitehcocTt's coming
engagement in t'his city will attract the
usual crowds who find pleasure in the
comic stage department of America's
most famous musical comedy star.
"Hitehie" has never failed to please
his local admirers and they number
many hundreds.
"The' Beauty Shop" company in sup
port of Mr. Hitchcock includes nearly
a hundred players, including a large
cast ai:d chorus. The entire New York
outfit of flayers and scenic equipment
will positively be presented here, just
the same as in New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia and Boston. Adv.*
"Uncle Tom's Cabin"
During t'he recent engagement of
Kibble & Martin's "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" at Havelin's theatre, in St.
l<ouis, an old grav-haired darkey was
noticed one evening enjoying t)he per
formance to his heart's content, his
facial expression being amusing indeed.
■When the curtain ascended revealing
the cotton picking scene, the old fellow
could stand the strain no longer. Rising
to his feet he shouted, " bawdy, but dat
Sin natural-" "Uncle Tom's Cabin '
comes to the Majestic Friday afternoon
and evening. Adv.*
Al. H. Wilson
A pleasing and artistic performance
of "When Old New York 'Was Dutch"
is promised at the Majestic next Satur
day afternoon and evening, by AI. H.
Wilson, the German diaileet comedian
and his company of players. This state
ment does not 'have to be accepted with
"a grain of salt," for Mr. Wilson's
performances in the past have always
been pleasing and artistic.
The scenes of the play are laid in
lKl!4, wheu the Dutch village of New
Amsterdam was under English rule for
the first time. The plot deals his
torically with a conspiracy to assassi
nate the English Governor and restore
the village to the rule of Holland.
Sprinkled in the story with emotional
situations of dramatic intensity is mirth
and melody in large quantities. There
is plenty of color in scene effects and in
the gorgeous costumes of the English
soldiers and t'he quaint and antique cos
tumes of the Dutch. "When I First
Met You," ".Moon, Moon, Moon,"
"When the Roses in Spring Bloom
Again," and "Mr. Bear," are the now
songs composed by (Mr. Wilsou for this
production. Adv.*
At the Orphciun
They areu't going to cut down cherry
trees at the Orplieum this week by way
of celebrating the birthday of the Fa
ther of our Country, tout they are going
to do something more typical and some
thing that is muc'h in keeping with the
doctrine of our peace loving forefather.
iFew people realize that the headliner
of the new week's offering serves to
'bring one or more singers of each of the
European countries now at war. So it
will be the small duty of the manage
ment to see that all recognize the neu
tral flag. It is an actual fart tlhat na
tives of countries now in the struggle
as well as the few remaining neutral
countries of Europe are represented in
tihis splendid vocal attraction.
Most of them were members of the
Royal Opera companies of their re
spective ■countries and since the almost
{jeneral strife in Europe they came to
America. It remains to be seen if some
body will have to be a settler of dif
ferences When all these foreign singers
come to Jlarrisburg. Ten trillers of con
siderable reputation appear in the act,
which is staged in four elaborate scenes.
Of almost equal importance in a comedy
sense is the first local appearance of
(Milton Polleck and company in their
celebrated George Ade comedy called,
"Speaking to Father." And Hoey and
Lee, the popular Hebrew character
comedians ami parodists, Teturn in new
gags and new parodies. Otfher 'big Keith
names of t'he holiday bill will include
the celebrated Wille Brothers, Harry

Skating ißear. Adv.*

usual heaidliner. Other good vaudeville
novelties booked to appear will include
Dillon Hhallard and company, operatic

INDIANSWEALTHIESTPEOPLB
Individual Creeks Who Last Year Re
ceived <t»0,0«0 in Oil Royalties
—Tribal Revenues
New York, Feb. 22.—When Secre
tary Lane in his annual report speaks
of the Osages as probably the wealth
iest people in the world, he draws, says
the "World," a picture of prosperity
in which their numerous brothers ou
western reservations have no part. It
was the fortune of the Navajos, one of
the strongest and worthiest tribes
among the 300,000 Indians still re
maining in the Cnited States, to be
consigned to a large barren tract of
territory in Arizona and New Mexico.
By good luck the five civilized tribes
came into possession of enormously
rich lands whose future value was lit
tle suspected. The Navajos still live
as best they can from their sheep and
ponies, as they did forty years ago.
The Osages, Creeks, Cherokees, Choc
taws and Chicasaws have substantial
property interests. It was not the
original intention of the government
t> favor one class more than another,
or probably to favor either of them
greatly.
Through the allotment of their
tribal lands in severalty the Osages
each received about 657 acres. Their
average wealth is $9,579, and their
average income from oil and gas roy
alties alone $690. The average Osage
family of four would receive an in
come of nearly $2,700, aside from the
returns from the land alloted its mem
bers.
There are individual Creeks who
last year received qver $90,000 oil
royalties.
The problem with other less fortu
nate tribes is how they shall 'be raised
from the verge of starvation and made
self-supporting by the aid of a gov
ernment which tardily is recognizing
its responsibilities. These did not
strike oil.

Old-Time Scramble for Presidency Com
ing in April
Washington, D. C., Feb. 22. —The
various factions of the Daughters of the
■American Revolution are organizing
ttheir forces for an old-time fight in
April, when a successor to Mrs. Wil
liam Cumming Story, president, is to
be elected.
LVlrs. George T. Guernsey, of Kansas,
is an avowed candidate against Mrs.
Story, and her fribnds are already
roumiing up votes in -the West : and
South. Many of t>he old faction that
supported Mrs. Matthew T. Scott so
long and so lqyally have joined the
Guernsey camp, and will try to defeat
'Mrs. Story.
Several States have already endorsed
'Mrs. Guernsey, ami others are prepar
ing to do so Within the next few weeks.
Airs. Story is campaigning among her
Congressional friends in Washington
and urging them to rei>aiT Tier fences
iback in Hie States.
The prediction was made last night
t'hat the largest convention ever held
'by the D. A. R. will be the one sched
uled here in April.
The woman suffrage question will be
pressed by the suffragists at the April
meeting, and the leaders of the "Votes
for Women" movement think they will
get an endorsement this year.
Mrs. Story lias made a splendid rec
ord as a financial manager during her
term as president. Her organization has
paid a'boirt $40,000 on the 'debt on Con
tinental 'Hall and have given more than
$50,000 for t>he relief of the suffering
in the European war zone.
SIDE JUDGES FOR WETS
Combine to Vote Against Presiding
Jurist on Licenses
Towanda, Pa., Feb. 22. —Sullivan
county license court came to a close
Saturday night, and Judge Terry lost
in his efforts to lessen the number of
licensed places, being overruled in 18
cases by his two associate Judges,
James Miller and Denny Keefe. As
"Law Judge" Torrv, who practically
made Wyoming county, the other half
of his judicial district, dry a year ago,
ruled that in 18 of the 22 contest
cases in Sullivan county law violations
had been proven and their petitioners
had failed to show the need for the
places.
The two associate Judges, "not
learned in the law," overruled Judge
Terry, and the licenses were granted.
Judge Terrv filed a dissenting opinion
in eAch of the cases, attaching his opin
ion to each of the 18 licenses.
Judge Terry is a candidate for re
election next year.

plaint of F. O. Warner, of Pittsfield
township, that his sons, Oscar and
George, 14 and 16. might kill or injure
him, County Commissioners Mook anil
Cramer went to the Warner shack to
arrest them Saturday.
The Commissioners had to fight like
tigers to .get Oscar, the oldest boy,
through an attic hole through which the
youngsters had craiwled in flight. Then
George followed. When the Commis
sioners saw the boys in the light they
were startled. The lads had long hair,
a wild look and were dressed misera
bly. The boys speak no known tongue.
To all appearance they are mentally
the equals of the savages who lived in
the dark ages. Yet they were born in
Wtarren county.
How the boys have lived in this con
dition unknown to the public is a mys
tery. Nieither hae ever attended school,
and from infancy they have roamed the
woods at will, sleeping and eating a.wav
from home half the time. The two were
brought to the Warren county jail, but
since their arrival they have not utter
ed a word and have refused to cat. The
only nourishment they have taken is
water.

prices for livestock, the 'highest ever
paid in 'Berks county, arc now being

the hearing to he given Hoverter next
Tuesday before United States Commis
sioner H. J. Schools at Lebanon. They
are not looked for at the hearing,
which, in view of Hoverter's statement
to the Government, promisee to be but
a formal affair. In the event of Hov
erter. on beiinp arraigned before the
Commissioner, entering a pJea of guilty
there will be 110 necessity for hearing
any witnesses; otherwise, all of the
Government 's case will have to be pre
sented.
In furnishing the Government with
the innermost secrets of his financial
transactions with the Sehaeft'erstowu
Bank Hoverter listened to the appeals
of his brother-in-law, Vic.tor Duress, of
Fulton, Mo., and may have t»een actu
ated by a hoipc of leniency in his sen
tence, recognizing the fact that the
Government frequently takes cogni
zance of mic.h conduct on the part of
an accused in helping to dear up cloud
ed situations.

Get a 10-cent box now.
Are you keeping your liver, stomach
and bowels clean, pure and fresh with
Cascarets —or merely forcing a passage
way evory few days with salts, cathartic
pills or castor oil? This is important.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the'
stomach, remove the sour, undigested i
and fermenting food and foul gases; |
take the excess bile from the liver and
carry out of the system the constipated
waste matter and poison in the bowels.
No odds how sick, headachy, bilious
and constipated you feel, a Cascaret to
night will straighten you out by morn
ing. They work while you sleep. A 10-

your head clear, stomach sweet anil
your liver and bowels regular for
months. Don't forget the children —
their little insides need a gentle cleans
ing, too. —Adv.

killed and another white man wounded.
Two Indians were taken prisoners and
two more killed.
Marshal 'Nebeker telephoned last
night that the camp of the Indians was
surrounded and that he expected its
