A HI T AT, MAHKAT O "The aueen of the Ballet" Fairly Took the Town by " * Storm. Minneapolis Will Hare Its First View of the Big Production To-night. * * GOOD SEATS STILL AVAILABLE ^~_. There are still seats available for the Roosevelt Marching club's light opera engageme nt In Minneapolis. A report from the Metropolitan box of fice this moaning- showed that there Is still room at any of the four Min neapolis engagements for those who wish to see "The Queen of the Bal let, which has Its first production here to-night. Seats are available as fol lows: Monday 390 Tuesday ... t - :for ' I : f Wednesday (Matinee) ,...1,040 Wednesday,,(Evening) 537 ^Jv , ^ ) "The Queen of the Ballet" danced her way into the hearts of a brilliant audience at Mankato Saturday evening. Th e Roose velt club, in the role of a theatrical or ganization laid siege to the thriving south ern city for the second time -within a year and the conquest was complete, re - sulting, as it did, in the unconditional surrender of the town's fairest women and bravest men . Th e company went to Mankato Saturday on a special train and most of them returned last evening. In addition'to being a much more tune ful musical comedy than "Th e Viking," the club's first theatrical venture, this year's production is much more elabor ately staged, and as a whole, of a higher order of taleht, although most of the speaking parts are in the same able hands as before. The months of painstaking preparation which the cast has undergone was shown in the sn ap and finish Of the first night's performance, which was really the dress rehearsal of the piece. While the action dragged a trifle occasionally, as was to be expected under the circumstances, no one missed his cue or failed to pick up his lines in true profesisonal manner. There was no work for the prompter. It is well within bounds to say that no opera which has -\isited the northwest this season has been more liberally stocked with catchy airs than "The Queen of the Ballet." which was well evidenced by the fact that all Mankato was whistling or humming them yesterday. Ad d to this that the chorus girls, particularly the "jollity girls." in addition to being hand somely gowned, ha-ve shown marked im - provement in voice since last year, and it is easy to understand why "The Queen of the Ballet" is a success in the basic essentials of comic opera. The club is also fortunate in possessing this cai two leading comedians of rare ability in the persons of "Dr. Archa Wil cox and Gilbert Byron, who as two of the "three little lambs" who caper nombly through the pla j, kept the audience in a continuous roar of approval. Dr. Wilcox's singing of the coster song, which he imported dhect from "dear ol' Lunnon ," especially for this production, was one of the big hits of the perform ance. Th e " I Ain't No Airy, Fairy, High Born L,oidy" will ha\e a big run in Min neapolis after he introduces it and the gallerv will get a strangle hold on the refrain instanter. Dr. Wilcox's London assurance and ready interpolation were demonstrated when the lights went out on him while he was doing his main stunt. ' " I felt like a babe in the woods, said he, glancing sidelong at the syhan scenic setting. And then, as he finished a verse, a boy s clear tenor echoed back from a cornfer of the balcory in a wonderfully sweet, sy m pathetic tone which called for several en - cores. The boy's brother act was Dr . Wilcox's idea, and"it was a good one. The risibilities of the audience were tickled by many local hits, of which Clar ence Saulpaugh and the .historic hostelry which bears his name came in for their fulj -share. Some choice* bouquets wilt be landed out to the "real things" at the Metropolitan this evening. Another highly original act, is Edgar T. Hanson's wonderful e-v olution from "d6 monk." in which part he seemed entirely at home, to that dignified Scotch gentle man. "Willie Putter." a secretary by pro fession and a golfer by instinct. I t would be somewhat out of place to en - ter into anv extended criticism of the indi vidual work of the principals of the cast before their home greeting. They are all good and some are better than others. The Mankato performance was helped on lmmenselv by the presence of Danz' orchestra and the fine work of the club't musical director, Ttobert Gale No r should' mention fail to be made of one other, namely. Charles 8. Albert, an associate member of the club, who did a lively turn between acts in the aisles and all the time in front of the house in the role Of pro gram Aender. If some professional organ ization is looking for a really live. huSt line retailer of "s6uvenirs of the opera." with a supplv of effervescent "ho t air" that seldom fails to deliver the goods.' Mr. Alberts is herewith respectfully and en - thusiastically recommended for the posi tion. President George Belden. Captain T. S. Ingersoll and Bert Strong, manager, ad vance agent and press agent respectively, are to be congratulated on the able man ner in which they looked after ba gs and baggage and the thousand details Inci dental to the staging of such a mammoth production for gallant and never-failing attentions toward the ladies of the com pany in.escorting them to and from the theat er and protecting them from the rude overtures of stage-door Johnnies. "The Queen of the Ballet" will open its Minneapolis engagement at the Metropoli tan theat er this evening. It Is booked for the first three nights Of the week and a Wednesday matinee. Friday night the club will go to Fargo to play a one-night stand Saturday evening. ~ John F, McKey's Fine Furnishings. Sold out to Th e Plymouth. Now on sale. Half price.

One of the chief benefits to the city form the improvements in the waterworks sste will be the establishment of a uni form water seryice through main pipes which will obviate th future use of th down-river pumps. There is such variety^ in the sizes of the different mains at present that it is difficult to adjust' the pressure needed to give a uniform supply to different parts of the Hty . S6me streets are laid for some distance with twenty-four-inch mains, which are then joined to sixteen -ineh mains and again to three-foot mains. In streets where large mains Were first planned and put in as far as funds would permit, small service extensions have been laid to please indi vidual property owners. It is believed that the $260,000 to b* raised by a bond issue will be sufficient to give the waterworks department a good start in the right direction. . . AN UNDEltTAKER FOI80HED. Patrick O'HalWran.

' SWATTED THE DRUM A Deaf Man Experiment Startles y N, ^.'Jiife'tenants. A casual .visitor at .the offices of -the Gale insurance"'fegency in the New York Ijife building, perpetrated a,n unintentional practical joke Saturday that almost scared an elevator man out of his wits and that started tenan ts on the lower floors and sent them hurrying down stairs to see what had happened. i One of the firm's members is a promi nent member of the tJoosevelt club, and, although he doesn't play the drum in the band, he allowed his office to be utilized as a store room for the bass drum. Th e drum, with drum stick attached, was placed in a corner of the room, Outside the office railing. I t was not in the way and the idea that it might occasion trouble never occurred to any one. The visitor sauntered into the office leisurely nodded a good morning to the inmates and glanced about him. His eyes fell upon the drum. H e walked over to 16ok at it more closely and then, unob 3emed, picked up the drum stick and ga-\e the instrument a resounding thwack that sotinded like nothing so much as a baby explosion. Charlie Gale, who was sitting at U s desk, almost fell out of his chair and upset an ink bottle in his ex - citement. Th e windows rattled and peo ple came hurrying in from all directions to see if any one had been killed. From the basement a. janitor came on the run. H e was closely followed by an elevator man who had once been in the neighborhood Of a powder mill just before the mill moved, and who thought the noise had a familiar sound. Meanwhile the in nocent cause of the uproar looked about him in bewilderment. "What the blaafes did you do that for?" asked some on Then he explained. Th e roan was deaf and had been seized wi th a curiosity to discover whether he could hear a drum if it were given a really good thump.

New Wood alcohol caused the death of Se bastian Hehl ad Godfrey Witchberger, ii\ing at J^ong lake.

DREGER GOES AFTER AMES The Sheriff Prepared to Stay in Hancock Till He Gets His Prisoner^ Sheriff J. W . Dreger will be in Hancock, "N.

The Minneapolis official left for the east last e\ ening, and wh en the person of the fugi-r, tlve is given over into his charge March 5, he will be ready to assume the respon sibility and to bring the much wanted man back to this city if such a move be possi ble. The Ames forces, headed by the doctor's wife, are making ready, according to re - port, to oppose the intention of the sheriff and a fight is expected. From the pres ent outlook, however, the odds seem to favor the Minneapolis authorities, and Sheriff Dreger announced before he left that if such a thing was possible he would bring back his man and that he would stay right there until he did bring him or the move was declared impossible. A CITY FATHER'S VIRTUE Embodied In an Ordinance It Gets a St. Paul Man Into a Lot of Trouble. That matching pennies in , an al'ej-, shaking dice upon a bar and playing cards in the rear room of a saloon may actually be thought of in the same minu te with the winning of prizes at a euchre table M s thrilled with horror an alder man in West St. Paul. This father of the people is Alderman Wynacht. Th e opposition translates his name as "Why Not?" H e believes in public virtue, but h eis no foe to private relaxtion. A s an alderman therefore, he lately introduced into the St. Paul coun cil an ordinance prohibiting all games of chance. H e became overheated in set ting forth the ruin wrought by vice. H e persuaded the council to prohibit the matchi ng of pennies, the shaking of loath some dice for cigars, and the playing of any game at cards for prizes. The next night Mr. Wynacht. as a, pri vate citizen, attended a meeting of the Wide Awake Euchre club, in which he has long been admired for the skill and fair ness of his dealing. Th e prizes, as usual, were of nominal value. Alderman Wy nacht did not*e\en win the "booby." Yet the following morning he was sum moned by one Mathi as Len tz to appe ar before a justice of the peace on a charge of violating the Wynacht ordinance. "Im- possible!" protested the alderman. "Why, I introduced that ordinace myself!" But the charge has not yet been withdrawn. The Wide Awake Euchre club is now in deep slumber, and Alderman Wynacht says that he will move to repeal his ordi nance.

BIG CHIEF IN TOWN Chief Joseph on His Way Home From a'Visit With the Presi- dent. Chief Joseph of the Pierced Noses "Sun - dayed" in St. Paul, to quote the hd-ppy figure of the Bugville Clarion. With Mr. Joseph were Messrs. Peopeotalikto and Ahlokaka. who were recognized by few persons among the crowd at the union station. Chief Joseph was coming- back from Washington. H e mentidhed that "he once made a -Ury- emphatic protest against General Nelson A. Mile*,, and th&t he ex - pected therefore to obtain any reasonable favor he might ask of President Eoose velt. But the president had proved un willing to grant the old warrior's princi pal demandnamely, that the Ne z Perces. who are now raising grain and stock upon allotments in Washington, be permitted to return to their ancestral acres at Walla Wa. Th e president explained that many white ancestors are growing up at Walla Wa. They would object to being moved. Wouldn't the chief and his smok ing councillors be satisfied with an equal amount of land at some other point in Washington or Idaho? No, they wouldn't, insisted Joseph. Thereupon the president promised to send two senators, as im partial as the weather, to decide whether the Nez Perces should be made happy at Walla Wa. COLOR IN LABOR The Afro-American Council of St . Paul Discusses the Colored Man's Opportunities. A moAement was begun yesterday by the Afro-American council of St. Paul to secure the reinstatement of colored men in occupations from which they h&\ 6 been obliged to retire within recent years. President F . L. McGliee told the council, at the Pilgrim Baptist church, that fewer colored boys now operate elevators in this state that there arc not so many col ored clerks in Minnesota stores that the colored man is less prominent in trades. Mr. McGhee felt that organized labor, somehow, -was against the colored man , although the organic law of the American Federation of Labor declares that no per s6n can be debarred from membersh ip on account of his color. A committee was appointed to estimate the number of colored people in various occupations within the state, and to re port to a meeting of the council next May. Th e same committee will try to get situations for colored men and Women in departme nt stores. \ A Rare Chance at Winter Suits.
