!, THE THEATRES HE:
The Biiou.

The stock company at the Bijou will
appear for the last time this week.
Commencing next Sunday evening will
he presented for the last week Of tho
summer season Webster & Brady 8
famous marine spectacle. The Bottom
of the Sea; coming as 1t does direct from
it's New York and Boston presenta-
tions the piece ia to be mounted here in
exactly the same manner that charac
terized its SUCCESS in those cities. From
all accounts the scenic and mechanical
effects are really superb. It il, 10 fact,
on realistic scenery that the success of
the play mainly depends. The piece de
resistance is the scene showing the bot
tom OF the sea, with divers at work 10
the wreck Of sunken ship. The battle
between one of the divers and gi
gantic devil fish is very realistic. The
other scenes are the rescue in mid -ocean
and the deck of the French man Of war.
The events centre about the laying OF
a West India cable by young French
engineer, assisted by an American en-
gineer. Both love the formers cousin.
and this leads to trouble. A rascally
Greek tries to kill the French engineer
at the bottom of the sea, and the
American engineer is arrested for the
murder. The supposed dead man, how
ever, turns up alive and saves the &C
cused man The Greek is killed in at
tempting to escape and all ends happily.
The play will be staged with all the
magniicence of the original produc-
tfon and will introduce a first class com
panY.

WITH A CRASH.
The Collapse Of the Star Elevator Causes
A Great Loss.

IQe collapse OF tle nLar Gl6VaLOf OauS6S
A Great Loss.
About 10 o'clock last Wednesday
night the annex to the Star elevator at
Sixth street north and First street, COL
lapsed and fell to the ground, owing to
the weight of the 10000 bushels of
wheat which was stored within. The
North Star Feed Mills, five stories high,
belonging to T. J. Thompson, and ad-
Joining the annex, which belonged to
Geo. Van Dusen & Co.. were crushed
by the falling wheat and are
likewise a wreck. The collapse was &C.
companled by terrific crash, which
was heard mile away, and for time
it was supposed that there had been a
collision in the Northern Pacific yards.
The runs caught fire and the fire de,
partment was On duty most of the
night. The annex and feed mills were
built of frame and walled with brick,
and the annex was filled with wheat
from top to bottom. The feed mills
contained considerable wheat and oats.
Each building was $50 feet deep, the
annex 20 feet wide and the feed mill 80
feet wide. Nobody was in either build
ing at the time of the collapse.
Mr.. Thompson's loss is about two
thirds total, and will amount to $4,000
or $4,000. OF this about $4,000 repre-
sents the value of the wheat and oats in
the mill. He Is fully insured and the
policies are placed by Christian and
Wagner and Jones & Macmillan. The
loss to the elevator company will de-
pend upon the salvage. Probably about
one-third of the wheat is ruined, which
will make the wheat loss about $25, 600.
The annex was worth $4,000. The total
loss is placed at $50, 600 to $4,000. The
elevator loss is covered by insurance.
The annex was an additional tier of
modern wheat bins, built three years
ago. It began at the top of the eleva-
tor proper, extending out about twenty
feet and running down to an arched
driveway. The bins Of this annex had
capacity of about 60, 600 bushels. For
some time it has been considered un-
safe. 1t is likely Mr., Thompson will
save a good portion Of his machinery
which was in the rear of the feed mill.
This part of the building escaped de.
struction.
The estimates of damages given
above were made last Wednesday night
but are reduced somewhat after more
careful look over the ground. Insur-
ance men place the company's loss at
about $40, 900 Of which $4,000 to $15, goo
will be on the building, aud the re-
mainder on stock. G. w. Van Dusen
s. CHS loss is now thought to- be COM
parativelY small. OF course, the annex
is total loss, but it did not cost much,
probably $4,000. The wheat will be
nearly all saved. What was wet ia
damaged somewhat, of course, but not
seriously it is thought. One insurance
man doubts whether the loss on wheat
will reach to exceed $15, 900.
An interesting point has been raised
as to who will have to pay Mr.. Thomp-

here over the declaration of OBrien
and Dillon against Parnell's leadership.
Charley has gone up the spout, and it is
only question of time when he will
only have very small following. The
people realize that his leadership means
destruction as Wm. O'Brien said before
going to prison. The crops this year

of Kerry. I heard from Bishop Nc

STREET SAM.

Another somewhat notable Piute en-
countered by the writer bears the soubri-
ouet variOusly of "Street Sam" and
Austin sam" The first was derived
from the fact that he was the official
street cleaner of the little town of Aus
tin, and the other on account of his being
q sub-chief of the Piutes inhabiting
Reese River Valley and the town of Aus
tin. The writer had not seen Street SAM
since 1878, but was recognized and greeted
bv the aboriginal magnate.
Street Sam and the writer were on very
friendly terms in Austin. He would fur
,ish the paper all the local Indian news,
and the writer would give him a liberal
supply of lies about Indian wars in other
Tarfs of the country, all of which were
believed and duly retailed to the other
members of the tribe. The writer also

from the applause they were greeted with
they were man.festly successful.
The entertainment opened with an cx-
hibition of fsomersaulting from the ieap-

Those who made the aerial revolutions
were j. @. Mansfield, II. j. HilIcbrand,

magnificent physique, agile movements
and powerful hitting were greatly ad-

was appreciated.
