AHS Stuait iutalie Coulpdny opens q
weeks engagement at Harper's theatre
tonight, in the Iron Master" An ex
change says Of this excellent combinas
ton:
The Stewart Theatre company broke
the record at the Academy OF Music last
night by playing to over $50 more money
than was ever taken in on the openin o
night by any week stand COMPANY at
popular prices. Speaking of prices re-
minds us that the Stuarts are not, strictly
speaking, a low price company, as their
prices in many cities are any,
thing but low--last week at An.
ro'a prices we notice in our exchanges
were thirty-tve and fifty cents,
and In still larger cities they often run az
high as one dollar seat. THE Iron
master" as presented last night was very
genteel performance. and the play con-
aims some strong touches of nature that
aroused the audience TO enthusiasm. The
costumes OF Lilsh Stuart were gorgeous
and her perfect acting left nothing to he
desired. The support of Miss Stuart was
excellent. and the exceptionally fine act
l ng OF Walter Beecher, and G. W. Travis
call for special mention as does the
| suRhable capers of Mr. Barnard as the
bluff old chocolate merchant. Two fea-
lures Of the Stuart company that we are
always pleased with is that their plays are
wholesome as a moral law. and their per-
formsnces open and close early. A hand
some antique oak chamber suit was shown
between acts. and will be drawn by some
lucky person on SATURDAY..

Bold Gang of Horse.thieves.

RosALIA, Wash, March 17.-During
the past two years several horses have
mysteriously disappeared from this part
of the country, and stockmen have been
at loss to discover the cause, but by
their united efforts they have recently
discovered what seems to be regularly
organized band of horse-thieves near
Pine City. Circumsta initial evidence
pointed strongly to young man in that
vicinity. Mr.. Kroutz, who lost horse
last fall, saw the young man IN Rosalla
last Saturday and accused him of steal
ing the horse. At first the young man
denied all knowledge of the transaction,
but upon being closely pressed broke
down and confessed, duplicating another
party, who is now in the Big Bend
country with band of horses. He
stated that the horse was in the band,
and offered to pay for it if that would
settle it. Interesting Developments are
likely to follow, as several stockmen are
thought to be implicated.

Mormon Test Oath.

WASHINGTON City, March 16.-The
only objection the democrats are making
to the admission of Idaho is upon the
Mormon question.
The test oath will be the sole point on
which fight will be made.
The reasons for desiring the postpone
ment of the admission bills for Wyoming
and Idaho are that New Mexico and Ari-
iona may be admitted at the same time.
The republicans will declare them
selves in favor of admitting these ter
ritories, but will insist that the Idaho
test oath shall be made a part of the
constitution df each state. The repub-
Lcans intend to make the fight solidly
against the Mormons, and will but the
democrats in the position of defending
the church and its polygamous practices.

The German Premier.

BERLIN, March 18-5 P. M.-Prince
Bismarck rendered his resignation last
night, and the young emperor, after
delaying until noon, decided to accept it.
The rupture between the chancellor
and the emperor has created profound
sensation here. All day long all the
public resorts have been crowded with
persons excitedly discussing the event.
A large and curious crowd has sur
rounded Bismarck's palace all the after
noon, and around the emperor's palace
an equally anxious throng has been
waiting all day.
1t is stated in well informed political
circles that the present difference be-
tween the emperor and Bismarck is ire
concilable. 1t arises from the chan
cellor's refusal to accede to the request
made by DIR. Windthorst, the leader Of
the clerical party in Germany, to restore
to the Duke of Cumberland, claimant of
the throne Of Hanover, the larger por-
ton Of the Guelph fund.
The report is repeated that the en-
peror proposes to appoint General Ven
Caprivi, who is now the commander #
the tenth army corps, TO the chancellor
ship.
Soon after Bismarck's resignation was
sent to the emperor all the members Of
the PrGssian ministry rendered thair
resignation also.

Prohibition In Dakota,

ABERDEEN, S. D., March 17-South
Dakota druggists don't like the provis-
ions of the prohibition bill, especially
those requiring petitions signed by
twenty women necessary to secure per-
mits, the $1,000 bond clause, and the
general features of the measure. All the
Aberdeen druggists signed an agreement
this morning not to keep liquors after
May 1, and dispatches from all the other
towns indicate that the advice of Presi-
dent Stearns, of the Pharmaceutical
Association, to sign a similar agreement,
will be generally followed.

Can Stay Sixty Days.

SAN Francisco, March 16.-Chief o.
Police Crowley, when asked to-day what
method he would pursue in the removal
OF the Chinese from Chinatown, said he
had not yet considered the matter. AS
a sworn officer of the law he will be
obliged to carry out the provisions OF
the new ordinance, unless, of conrse, the
Chinese appeal to the courts. The
Chinese we're given sixty days to make
preparations, and until then the police
will take no action. If, however, the
Chinese should refuse to obey the ordi-
nance. then the chief believes warrants
will be sworn out for their arrests. By
this means constitutionality of the or
dinance can be tested.
