Being assured rhis weuM not satisfy the present claim, I consented to work it out and a day was fixed for this purpose, but unfortunately I was detained on that day by my colonel, who had arrived, and thus prevented me from keeping this engagement.

The next day was too rainy for working on roe streets, lad the following morning, when I went dwn town, I was arrested under a war- ran' sworn out by the stretrt commissioner. I tnen asked that I might be allowed ro work it out. but was told it was too Sate. I was then taken before a justice of the peace and committed here, and feel lam oppressed I had aot visited the salvation army hall for months until this affair, and. whatever tbe past may have been (yourselves admitting they have done good 1 believe there is now a band of sincere be- aging good entertainments and those without whiskere to visit thi part of the state.

Both of the plays inflicted have been given here so often and always so poorly that the people will not attend. Who can blame them if they do not care to recognize that the Andrews troupe is a wee bit better than the average." It will be observed that in both notices the company fa given credit commensurate with its merits. Its judgment only is criticised, in the matter of offering to Clay Center plays that have been already worn threadbare here. The Times has never failed to give prais where it is due. and in many instances has strained a point in order to transform mediocrity into merit, to the end that no injury should be done to the opera house management through criticisms in its columns.
