Roland Heed’s “ Cheek.”
•• Cheek ” was presented iu a creditable man-
ner ut Turner hall last night by Roland Reed
and an able support. The play is of the Lotta
order sparkling and breezy. Heed who is 11
comedian with a rare natural humor finds in
the character of Dick Smythe opportunities tor
a display of laugh-provoking facial expression
for the rapid utterance which distinguishes
him and many other peculiarities fitting him
for it as no one else probably could Ite titled.
“Cheek will lx* repeated this evening ami to-

The Prof.produees the most Iwaut ift 11 electric

nignt. "The Twinkling Stars" will shine out
lively at Jonas’ Garden to-morrow night.
—A mutual admiration party on a small
scale was gotten up yesterday by the Express
over the completion of the California road.
The personal resemblance between Mayor
French and Gambetta ii revived with the
prints of the likeness of thedead Frenchman.
—That Ben Thompson has a host of friends
who are on the alert toaid him Is nothing to hie
discredit. The state has evidently some valu-
able friends also.
From the days of John Gianton to those of
Hen Thompson-thegaming table has been the
I rititful source of nil the terrible tragedies hap-
pening in our city.
—Judge Noonan hssnot provided accommo-
dation n>r the newspajier reporters. It won’t
prevent a pen picture being token of the trial
of Ben Thompson.
Judges Mason and Callaghan were in the
court room yesterday. Judge Noonan did not
isk them to seats on the Dench; an English
custom we believe.
—The dismantling of the old building on the
southwest corner ot Navarro and Commere •
streets is complete. It’s a wonder how such an
old shell stood u p at all.
There is a remorseless public sentiment
that shares no pity for the living man-slayer or
respect for the memory of his dead victim-
when they are Ixitli outlaws.
—lt is suggested that the jurisdiction of the
recorder l>e extended to cover all eases of
trouble arising lief ween school teaehers and
other employees of the city. Good idea.
Bills are being introduced nt a fearful rate
in the legislature. If they would stop and pass
half a dozen useful needed measures and ad-
journ they would earn the thanks of the p«*o-
ple.
Mr. Tarleton states that the halxiis corpus
wax out of the question In the Price cas e as a
measure for immediate relief lx*cause of the
ix-cupalion of Judge Noonan in the Thompson
trial.
Judge Noonan better put the lawyers tin-
ier the some rest mint as he does the jury in
ihe Thompson case and keep newapa|M*r men
>ut of their way a few rays of Light might
blind them
The attorneys in the prosecution and de-
fense >n the Pr -i Thompson ease may look very
ItcHgerent at each other in the court room but
they “smile" with each other after the court
adjourns.
The two hundred jurymen who swore
Uiemselvex off the Ben Thompson jury will
feel quite agrieyed the last man of them if the
newspa|x-rs don't convict Thompson and hang
him in the lairgain.
Geistinger furnishes another opportunity
to convince our jieople that we need.an ois-ra-
houxe. II we had a house that would bold 2t»m
people we would get the entertainment at
more reasonable figures.
Two hundred citizens declared on oath that
they had formed an opinion in the Thom|MM>n
eusi*. and yet if they had been asked to sign a
statement that a change of vu.ue wasjusti-
liuble. they would have refused to do so.
—An intelligent eiilon-d man in some way got
into the special venire yesierday in the district
court; he was challenged ami exeused. If it
w.isn t for the matterof color there are a num-
m r of competent jurors who are seldom culled
on- their color helps them out.
—Judge Noonon ordered that the jurymen in
the Thomfison case should read no newspa|MTS
during tlx-trial. From the character of jurors
xeli-cted- the no-opinionno-newspaper kind—
we believe a newspaper would be harmless but
at the same time the order was a salutary one.
—Just prior to the late city election. Captain
Kurlier first assistant city marshal made two
or three raids Ufxm well-known gambling
houses. We hear nothing more of this kind of
work. Did the Captain break up all thi
gamblers in those rains or has the wind changed
since the election.
The talk in public ftchoo) circles is all about
Miss Matheus and Mr. Halliedl. Mr. H. is not
jxdite and has justly incurr*! the revenge of
the lady assistant. The scnoolx need to tie
looked after more closely by the board. Halbcdl
is also credited with helping Copeland out and
had pretentions to the office of su|>eriiitendent.
— Every good citizen is anxious that the law
lx* vindicated and yet good c-itiwiis are apa-
thetic when they know that hot-beds of mur-
der are maintained in the city by taeit consent
of the authorities. It will be easier to convict
the Ben Thonqisons when these nurseries of
crime are suppressed.
The Light isfelt that's evident -and had itw
rays reached all parts of our county as it does
the city all the eomix-tent jurors in the county
would have an opinion alxiut the Tbomptum
esse. Hereafter when a minder is committed
the press must be silent alxiut theoccurence in
order to secure a jury to try the murderer
otherwise let there lie a change of venue to
some other county where there is a country
nowapaper printed. Thf idea seems redicu-
lous but it is the gist of our Jury system.

One man has every thing that is necessary to
success in business; he lias capital ut his com-
mand influential friends wealthy relatiies
ever ready to endorse his paper—perhaps
steps into an established buxines and yet in a
short time he falls. Another has none of these
advantages and yet in a short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment. One of
these latter indi’ iduals is our enterprising
merchant. J M. Emerson. When asked by ns
to whut he attributed his success in business he
refilled that it was by fair and imptirfud deal-
