THUGS FATALLY '
WOUND OFFICER
Second Time Chicago Depart-
ment Men Are Victims
of Bullet.
Chicago 111. Jan. 4.—While City
Detective William It. Mooney was
lying an his deathbed in Grace hos-
pital last night just after identifying
the thief who snot him down on
Thursday another policeman was shot
and fatally wounded by another thief
tinder circumstances almost identical
with the Mooney case.
The first of the two victims. De-
tective Mooney died. The second vic-
tim was Patrolman Michael D. Calla :
han. While on the hunt for Mooney’s
assailant he himself met the detec-
tive’s fate. Like Mooney he accosted
a .ittle group of men on-the. street
cornei and inquired their business;
like Mooney his reply was from a
revolver and like Mooney he fell with
a bullet wound in his abdomen from
which his recovery is considered im-
possible.
So similar were the two attacks
that had not Mooney positively identi-
fied as his assailant James P. Mc-
ILean who was arrested yesterday
there would have been suspicion that
the same man fired both shots.
Similar in o’her respects the two
crimes were alike in that every mem-
ber of the two gangs the policemen
encountered three in one four in
another lias been captured.
Mortally injured as he was Calla-
han fired a bullet t which wounded a
companion of his assailant then grap-
pled with him and clung to him until
police assistance came. Through this
first captive the other members of
yesterday’s hold-up gang including
David Anderron whom ah are said to
blame for the shooting were taken
Into custody. Anderson’s companion
who was injured probably fatally was
Albert McCage.

Fort Worth Tex. Jan. 4.—The body

for the man's action.

The congregation of the First Chris-

in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium has se-
cured the use of the Beethoven hall
and will begin holding services there
tomorrow. The splendid and com-
modious quarters are larger than
needed by the congregation at present
but the members of the flock are cou-

‘‘The Great Divide.”
A packed house greeted the "Great
Divide” at the Grand opera house
last night. Opinion as to its merits
was greatly divided. Those who de-
light in problem solving found much
to amuse them but that portion of the
theater-going public which seeks to
only be amused was distinctly disap-
pointed. The range ot emotion was
great too great perhaps for the aver-
age theater goer. Miss Adelaide Nor-
wak in the leading role at times rose
to .he heights the theme demanded.
Lester Lonergan’s interpretation of a
primal man subdued by the tender
passion was subtile and always nat-
ural. The remainder of the cast was
fair.
The Big Tent.
“The Siege of the Alamo" again
drew a large audience at the Big Tent
theater last night. It will be again
produced at the matinee this after-
noon and another performance tonight.
The scene where the Alamo is stormed
is dramatic in the extreme and is as
full of action as the most restless
auditor could desire.
The Big Tent will oLer an entire
change of bill tomorrow night which
will be announced in The Light to-
morrow morning.
At the Empire
“The Colonial Girl” which has had
a successful run during the week
will give way after tonight’s perform-
ance to “The Two Orphans” which
will be the bill during all of next
week except at a special matinee on
Thursday at which “Anita the Sing-
ing Girl” will be presented.

played at the Dallas opera house last
night by a large and ladyesque com-
pany pleased a considerable audi-
ence. According to its own modest
admission this piece has “created a
commotion from ocean to ocean”
which statement may be more rhyme-
ful than truthful. But it is a good
show indisputably and all who like
musical comedy will like all of “Little
Johnnv Jones.”
The book libretto and music are by
George M. Cohan who has the knack
of knocking out dramatic moonshine
with extraordinary agility and effect.
This piece is not new in the theatri-
cal centers but it is just as good as
if the varnish were still immaculate.
A numerous company is required to
fulfill the obligations of the plot and
the song and dance accessories and
Joseph M. Gaites. under whose direc-
tion those performers are. has not
spared expense I s filling the requisite
complement. The choruses are all
well sung the ballets well dressed
and nimblv danced and the play en-
joyable acted. There are many laugh-
able lines particularly those assign-
ed to Wm. Keough. Billy Seymour
as Jones is a convincing performer
with his feet and he also sings quite
some. He was the recipient of a flo-
ral testimonial of esteem which must
have cost as much as a Christmas
present
The ladies all. including those wi h
talking singing dancintr and looking
parts are agile agreeable and thor-
oughly acceptable. The entire per-
formance is pretty the action is swift
and the staging elaborate.
W. B. Patton in “The Slow Poke.”
A local critic says: "W. B. Patton
a new star here with a clever sup-
porting company gave a performance
at the opera house last night. Wo
might say Mr. Patton is in a class
• with Tim Murphy and reminds one
very forcibly of the late Sol Smith
Russell but we can just as well sav he
is just like himself for he will stand
comparison with the best of the high
. class comedians. He has an easy
droll manner and his methods are nat-
| ural and original.”
“The Slow Poke" is a beautiful play
; of western life embodied with great
I heart interest refined and high class
furnishing ample opportunity for
j beautiful costumes and the special
scenery carried by the company this
season is verv attractive and appro-
I nriate. Mr. Patton has firmly estab-
lished himself one of the quaint en-
tertainers with the theater-going pub-
i lie and his personal magnetism will
I always insure him liberal patronage.
He is surrounded by a company cl
uniform excellence and is announced
for an engagement at the opera house
today matinee and night when the
theater will no doubt be packed to
its utmost capacity as it was on their
visit here last season.
Hatched a Lot of Snakes.
(Philadelphia Record.)
While Edwin and Dewitt Dickerson
sons of a farmer near Bridgeville Cen-
ter county were playing around an
old straw stack they found a nest con-
taining 23 small queer-looking eggs.
The youngeo- proposed roasting them
over a fire and eating them but tha
older would not agree to it because
the eggs looked so odd. They took
them home and without saying any-
thing to any one about it sneaked
them into the kitchen stove oven. The
next morning when the mother built a
fire for breakfast she was horrified
on opening the oven to find it full of
young snakes. The eggs were of the
snake variety and the warm oven had
batched them out in the morning. The
snakes we¥e promptly killed.
Epilepsy
Fits
Convulsions or Spasms
and St. Vitus’ Dance are
Nervous Diseases. Most
cases can be cured by
strengthening and build-
ing up the nervous system.
To do this a nerve medi-
cine is needed. Dr. Miles’
Nervine will be found
efficacious and satisfac-
torv. It has cured manv
cases of these diseases
and we believe it will
cure you. We can give
you names of many who
have been cured through
its use. Write for advice.
“My son John had epilepsy for years
and after having him treated by
specialists for over 2 years he still
continued to have spells. 1 had al-
most given up in despair but know-
ing the virtue of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain
Pills for sick headache. I concluded to
try the Nervine. During June. 1906 I
gave him a teaspoonful three times a
day. then in July I gave it as directed
and I could see that he was impfbving
and he has not had a spell since
August ‘ 28 1906. and has taken no
medicine since Jan.-07. I am writing
the case just as it is hoping it will
Induce others to tn* it.”
