MAN ON THE BOX Benefit Play to be Given at Opera House, Feb. 22 and 23 The officers of the ladies' improve ment committee,under the indorsement of the chautanqua board of directors, to laise a sum of money to fix up an athletic field lofore the June chau tanqua assembly, upon the Chautauqua grounds, merits the undivided support of the citizens of this city and county. It is wel* understood that the support of the institution,and its maintenance in the future, must come from this locality, and without this support it is only a question of time until this great assembly must close. It is doubtful whether we have iu our midst any institution that has given to Madi son, and Lake couuty, in the past twenty years, more exclusive advan tsges and advertising than that of our chautanqua. Hundreds of men and women, during the past years, repre senting every field of scholarship, lecture, the pulpit, bar, and othei pro fessions, iia well as the arts, sciences, music and the stage, have occupied the platform of our chautanqua. Men and women not only of high moral charac ter and attainment, but coming from every part of our own country, and many from foreign fields. Men [and women whom hundreds would never have seen had not this in stitution been located in our midst Wnat has all this meant to our peo pie It has given our city the distin guished designation of the "chautau qua city of the state. Every stranger who has come among us has borne away witn him the great possibilities and future of this great commonwealth, and especially this locality, and that our people are not only progressive tn spirit, but likewise anxious to bring to our very doers the highest and best moral cultare, scientific and artistic thought of the day. There is one feature in particular concerning the improvement of the chautauqua which many have thought should be made more prominent, and facilities supplied to meet require ments, and that is the matter of ath letics. This is designed especially to make the coming session and future ones more attractive to the young. With this purpose in mind the ladies' committee, after canvassing the prac ticability of various schemes wberebv to raise money, determined upon put ting on a p'ay. the characters to be taken by local talent. The putting on of this play, "The Man on the Box" a dramatization of Harold McGrath's novel of the same natne is pnder the supervision of Miss Pearl Smitb, of Spring Valley.

Aside fiom the play itself which presents many scenes for high dramatic characteriza tion, there will be a line of specialties between »cts. The specialties will be different each evening. The young people, twelve in number, who take pait in this entertainment are working .with might and main to make it the I finest production ever put on in this [city by local talent.

THOSE BONDS Story of the Famous Carolina Bond Case North Pierre, Feb. 15.—Toe defeat- in the Sonth Dakota legislature of Senator Dillon's bill to return to North Caro lina 122.410 adds another chapter to the famous oond case. It is likely, however, that the tight will be re opened at the next session. The manner in which this fund got into the state treasury of South Dako ta'is one which dates back to the days before the war. In 1859 the state of North Carolina issued bonds to assist in the construction of a railroad in that state. The Btate took stock in the road and turned the bonds over to the promoters of the road to sell for the purpose of raising funds for the construction of the road, "aud held the stock in the treasury. In 18G7 it was desired to increase the efficiency of this road, and the Western North Carolina Railway com pany was organized, and bonds issued, backed by stock in the original road, for the desired extension. About this time the ''carpet bags" legislature of North Carolina was in session, com posed in largo majority of negroes, and they issued bonds without limit, and without any consideration what ever. Practically all of these securi ties were later repudiated by the state, and others were compromised by the payment of 25 cents on the face value. Among the holders of North Carolina securities were New York parties, who held $2"»0,000 of the bonds isBiied to build the Western North Carolina road, and they refused to compromise. The bunds lan along until a few years ago, when suit was brought upon one of the bonds in the United States su preme court by South Dakota, and a judgment secured. The manner of the possession of this bjnd by South Dakota goes back to the legislative session of 1W01. At that session a law was pass ad, which became chapter KM of the laws of that session, in which the governor of the state is authorized to accept auy grants, gifts, or donations of l»onds. secuiities or other property given to the state, anu the state is given the right to bring suit to recover upon anj' such gift, the payment for attorney services to a contingent fee out of the proceeds of any such suit. Shortly after the passage of this law there was tendered to Gov. Her reid one bond of the Western North Carolina railroad to the amount of 110,000, with accrued interest amount ing to 127,000. This was accepted, and R. W. Stewart, who was a mem* l**r of the senate whicd enacted the law, was employed as an attorney by the state to prosecute the case in the United States court, the suit by one state against another being the only manner of getting into court with these bonds, as the state of North Carolina does not have a statute which allow* a private citizen to bring suit against the state The real purpose back of this suit ia alleged to have been to establish the validity of the bonds held by tne New York syndicate, wbich was represented by SimoD Shaffer, who donated the bond to South Dakota. The court, while holding the particular bond held by South Dakota to be valid, spoiled the intent of the suit by hold iug that each one of the bonds was a separate contract, and that separate suit must be brought on tach bond. Under this ruling,while judgment was on the one bond, the others were in the same condition as at the begin niug and the N«w Yolk syndicate had secured nothing but experience. The supreme court gave this state its judgment asked for, and the state was given the right to foreclose on stock on which the bond was issued, but the state of North Carolina had the option of paying the judgment in steHd of allowing the foreclosure pro ceeding, and took the option, paying the amount due, out of which about #5,000 attorney's fees were taken, and the balance turned over to the state, which has held it unappropriated since, although the donor asked that it go into the fund for the state university or be used for some other educational or charitable purpose. The agitation and charge of "tainted money," wbich has been attached to the fund, has stopped the demand of the university or auy other state educational institu tion fcr a claim on it. After the state hbd accepted the bond donation other holders of North Carolina bonds began to make offers to the state if suit would be brought to collect. A tender of $150,000 of such securities was made to Ciov. Elrod, which was refused. Another tender of 11,000,000 was made to Gov. Craw ford, which was also turned down. While no offer has yet been made di rectly to Gov. Vessey, a syndicate of holders of such securities has been tentatively tendered to the legislature through letters to the effect that a half million is to be had to be divided among the diffeient educational insti tutions of the state and to the state fund itself if suit will be brought to collect. While the cash from the North Caro lina bond was received by the state some time in 1903, and was placed in a special university fund, no legisla ture has ever appropriated to soy institution direct.
