A MUSEMENT §
A
Oscar Graham in "A Prince of 1 lis
Race,” played to very poor business
at the Grand last night. Mr. Graham,
who is credited with being the au
thor of the play, was seen in the part
of a college-bred Indian, the theme
of the story being much the same as
"Strongheart.' As very few people
took advantage of the opportunity of
seeing Mr. Graham, his appearance
did not create enough of a ,stir to
warrant a review. But, in passing, it
won t hurt anything to observe that
the time for a clean-up on Sunday
by the once-in-a-whlle drop-ins is
past.
Mary Manncring.
That local playgoers appreciate the
opportunity presented of seeing Mary
Mannering. is proven by the advance
sale, which at 1 o'clock today guar
anteed a capacity house for her ap
pearance tonight. Owing to the fact
that the bills for the show were mis
carried no one knew she was coming
until Wednesday of last week. How
ever, she only needed a simple an
nouncement.
Good Sale for Grand Opera.
The Bessie Abott grand 4>pera
company wilt arrive in the city! in the
morning by special train, the big
company and production necessitat
ing traveling in this manner. Judg

'Madame Butterfly.” at the matinee
and “La Boheme" at night, will oe
heard by full houses.
In preparation for the grand opera
orchestra of 40 pieces it is likely that
at least three row's of seats in the
parquet will have to be taken out.
The productions of both operas will
bt* exactly the same as those used on
tl“ stage at the Metropolitan Opera
house in New York, the latter hav
ing loaned them for the short tour.
In every city throughout the
south where operas have been heard,
they have left the best of-impres
sions. One of the features that has
come in for extraordinary praise Is
the orchestra under the guidance of
Signor Clandestlna. At every perfor
mance the maestro has been forced to
acknowledge curtain calls along with
the principals.
George Evans' Minstrels.
George "Honey Boy” Evans and
his splendid minstrel show are to be
seen at the Grand Wednesday mati
nee and night- It is promised that
this year's entertainment is practi

for the polishing touches of new mu
sic, songs and jokes, with a few
new faces.
When Cohan and Harris surround

Try a Laxative
Cough Syrup.
a Make It Yourself.
If you have been going all win
ter with a troublesome, weakening
cough, without obtaining relief or
cure from the numerous old time
out of date cough mixtures, then
you should try making at home a
cough syrup that has a laxative,
cleansing and tonic action.
Essence Mentho-Laxene when
made into a syrup, quickly relieves
the most chronic coughs and colds
on the lungs of old or young, and
not only that, but it has a most de
cided curative action so that al
most any chronic case may be cur
ed in a week of two. Buy of your
druggist a 2*4 oz. package of es
sence mentho-laxene, containing
full directions for making a pint of
laxative cough syrup very easily at
home.
Yt>u make a syrup of ganulated
sugar. Here is the formula:
Essence mentho-laxene... 2*4 Ozs.
Ganulated sugar syrup.. 13*4 Ozs.
It makes the surest cough rem
edy known for old people, and
children like it so well, too.
' It not only quiejdy loosens the
.igntest cough, but it drives the
cold out of the system and cures
by its tonic and laxative action.
• You can save s3'to $I by making
it at home cheaply, as a pint lasts a
family a long time.

three weeks the Royal has been put-1

The bill this week is an excellent

music and dancing all having an ev. u

Grand Junction. Colo.. Dec. 19. —
After a running battle last night be
tween a posse and three robbers who
had looted a general merchandise
store at Clifton, six miles from here,
one of the robbers was killed and the
other two captured.
Four small boys hunting rabbits
thn e miles south of Clifton discov
ered the robbers in a deserted dug

robbers witht heir small calibre ri
fles while the fourth went for help.
'Before the officers arrived the rob
bers succeeded in making the three
boys prisoners and forced them to
carry a portion of the stolen goods
for l ight miles. When the posse over
took them, each of the robbers seiz
'ed a boy and used him as a shield to
i protect them from the fire of the
|pursuers, meanwhile keeping up a
[running fire from their revolvers.
W. H. Harrison, father of two of
ithe boys and leader of the posse, took
a desperate chance and shot one of
the robbers who was holding Harri
son's son before him. through the
head, killing him instantly. The oth
er robbers then surrendered.

Got His Goats
and Ranchman
Files Complaint
Who stole the 450 goats which Hs
npp'ared from a ranch in V .de
county and some of which have been
found here?
A complaint in Justice Joe l'm
sch. U s court charges a man on the
ranch with being the offender, rhe
man strenuously denies it, but th*
grand jury will probably ascertain the
facts.
Some days ago the ranch changed
hands. When it did there was a large
flock of goats broweing contentedly on
the winter herbage. The new owner
left the former owner’s hands in
charge. When he returned several
dais ago the goats had disappeared.
Thereupon the new owner made dili
gent search. By inquiry he located
some of them lu San Antonio. n e ls
also said to have established the iden
tity of the men who sold them here.
Today a complaint in the justice court
was but the prelude to an appearance
before the grand Jury.
REPORT COMING OK
mim hotter
Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 19.—The majority
and minority reports of the special
Ballinger-Pinchot investigation com
mittee will be reported out of the
house committee on agriculture with
out comment. The reports were re
ferred to that committee, but the
members of the committee have been
loath to take up the question, figuring
that the reports having come from a
committee should have been left on
the speaker's table instead of going to
another committee.
The committee on agriculture con
sidered the matter briefly and the
plan is to report the reports back in
the shape that the minority members
wish and the motion to adopt the ma
jority will be followed by a minority
proposition to substitute the minority
i report.
Considerable speech-making on the
; w hole question is probable before the
controversy is out of the way. The
question will not come up until after
the holiday reqess.

Special Dispatch.
Washington. Dec. 19. —The supreme
: court of the United States today up
held the constitutionality of the Mis
sissippi law abrogating the fellow
lservant rule as to "every employe of
a railroad corporation." It had been
claimed that a section laborer could
not be held to be engaged in a haz
ardous occupation and therefore that
the law uas unconstitutional.
The point arose in tne case of Ray
Hicks of Newton country. Miss. Judg
ment of 57500 in favor of his heirs
was awarded in the Mississippi courts
against the Mobile. Jackson & Kansas

then appealed to the supreme court.
Hicks was a section foreman em
