Patrons of the drama here are on the qet
uige for the temperance at City Hall To-
night of Mr.. Richard Golden, in the titul 7
role of Jed Prouty, the old-time Bucks
port inn keeper, supported by the stroI z
company that he has gathered about him.
The bit which Mr.. Golden hap made in this
character has asiontsh ID himself as well as
his friends, and and perhaps it is NOT too
strong a statement to say that the play has
proved as great hit in the places where il
has been presented as have those remark
able pieces in which Denman Thompson
has become famous in the character Of
Josh Whitcomb.' 1t is fact that there
is greater number of peculiar characters
in Mr.. Golden's play than in either of those
in which Mr. Thompson appears and they
are faithful representations of people that
are to be seen in nearly every New Egg
land village. Those who have seen old I'D
Prouty can und rstand why it is that the
piece is meeting with such success in all
parts of the country.

There are people in all parts of tie
country who are still suffering from the
effects of Ia grippe with which they were
Frustrated last winter. One man in this
city who has weighed isj pounds, and
whose weight in years past has never been
less than $50, had the grip, and although
he has worked most of the time since he

and his weight now is only about 100. He

the end will be. Some medical men, it
may be remembered, predicted at the tine,

years and other countries, that some of L G
worst features of the disease were yet TO
come. But the grip was bad enough in is
Introductory stsges, without its seventies

The Coolest Wave of the Season Roams
Through the Northwest.
Fair weather continued yesterday In all the
States except Minnesota, Montana and
Wyoming, where light snow was falling. The
storm that was moving eastward over the lake
region was crowded north into Canada by the
formation of an area of high pressure on the
South Atlantic coast. which also caused rise
of from 1Oo to 15o in temperature in the OHIO
Valley and the lower lake region, and rise of
80 to 100 in all the Atlantic States. A baro-
metric depression formed in the Rocky Mount
aims. near Salt Lake City, making a steep
barometric gradient between that point and
the Northwest States, causing high northerly
winds throughout the entire Northwest, and
drawing down the coldest wave of the season.
There was a general fall of from l5o to 3Oo
The temperature at Winnipeg registered 20
above zero. The cold wave will be felt in all
the States west of the Mississippi to-day. A
very dense fog hung over the coast, from Hat.
teras to Boston, yesterday.

ALL BUT A MURDER,
A YOUNG LADY TERRIBLY BEATEN BY A
BURGLAR.


Miss Irene Smeltz Left Bleeding and Uncon-
Terrible Strusgle-A Suspicious Char
acter Arrested.
Hazelwood was aroused yesterday BY the
story that negro had broken into the resi-
dence of Mr.. Adam Smeltz and had COM
mitted all but murder.
The home of Mr.. Smeltz is on Hazelwood
avenue. He was away from home and there
was no one in the house but his wife, his 15.
year-old daughter Irene and Miss Lizzy
Krebbs, friend, who was spending the
night at the house. Shortly after midnight
the girls were awakened and saw burly
negro in the act of putting Miss Krebbs'
watch in his pocket.
Seeing that they were awake, the man
uttered an oath and going to the bed picked
Miss Smeltz up in his arms. He started out of
the room and the girl fought and struggled to
beating her in a terrible manner. He carried
her to the back yard and there she partially
freed herself, but he beat her into unconscious
ness.
In the meantime Miss Krebbs, who had
tainted, recovered herself and ran out to
awaken Mrs. Smeltz. Throwing open WIN
dow the two screamed for help. Mr.. Smeltz
was just getting home from his store, and
learning the trouble yan to the yard where he
found his unconscious daughter, her face badly
larcerated by the beating she had received, and
her night dress covered with blood. The negro
had taken fright and ran away. leaving his
victim in this terrible condition. Miss Smetz
was carried into the house and physician was
summoned who brought her to consciousness
but pronounced her in a most precarious condi-
dirion.
The young ladies described the man as a
large negro wearing heavy overcoat and cap
Special Officer Mclaughlin was detailed to
work the case and yesterday afternoon arrested
Wade West on suspicion This man, with two
others, lives near the scene of the outrage in
house owned by Mr. SIpeltz. He is said to be
of bad repute. He was locked up in the
Twenty-second ward station to await the re-
covery of Miss SmeltiL who will then see and
identify him.

ON ACCOUNT OF A SCARE.
Chairman Michener Gives His Explanation
of the Political Change.

Chairman Michener Gives His Explanation
of the Political Change.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
INDIANAPOLIS, November 6.-Chairman
Michener, of the State Republican Central
Committee, says there are three reasons for
the Republican defeat. One of them is the
apathy common to elections in which
neither President nor Governor is to be
elected. Another is the dissatisfaction with
the national administration, which always
puts the party in power at a disadvantage
Tor long time after a national election.
Continuing, he says:
The third cause and the one which / have
been most afraid of all along is the scare over
the Mckinley bill. The bill will be beneficial
to the country, I believe, but there has not
been time for its good effects to begin to be
felt yet. If Congress had passed the bill last
June, the scare would have been over before
the election, and results would have been diff
ferent. but passed when it was. there was just
time enough to get the people frightened
about high prices and not time enough to show
them results to remove their fright. l con-
fdently believe that in year and half from
now the Mckinley bill will be in high favor.

Mysterious Failure of the Firm of W. G. Bell
& Co., With Hoavy Liabilities.
BOSTON, November 6.-The firm of W.
G. Bell & Co. failed to-day, and caused
sensation. Liabilitieu said to be heavy. s.
B. Hinckley, Of Chelsea, a member of
Hinckley Bros. & Co.. doing business at 80
Commercial street, in this city, Is the as
signee. Mr.. Hinckley says that he has no
idea what may be the amount of the assets
and liabilities, or what could have caused
the failure. and can make no statement
whatever at present.
1t is gathered from parties outside the
firm that the embarrassment Is believed to
be due to an increase of business on capital
hardly sufficient to warrant it and to the
tight money market. The firm has been
rated at from $780, 1000 to $3.50, 600, and was
believed to be making money every year.
1t is understood that the firm recently sold
its estate on Commercial street and put the
proceeds into the stock of the Kansas City
Packing and Chase Refrigerating Com-
pany. 1t is also understood that the latter
concern is not involved.
