CHEHALIS COUNTY POLITICS,
Republicans Will Put UP Clean County
Ticket,

1ICkeLs
ABERDEEN, March 27.-The absorbing
question in this county is taxation and
economy i'll county affairs. So deep has
the matter taken hold that leading Repub-
hcans and Democrats have considered a
proposition to abandon party lines as far
as county officers are concerned. There is
no probability of this being done, however,
if as at present indicated, the politicians
keep out of the way and the people are
given chance to make party nominations
If this is not done third party ticket will
be in the field. The Farmers Alliance has
just an even 300 membership, and that
entire vote can be depended on to go with
party whose ticket shall be nominated
in the interests of reform and
economy. The best element of the Repub-
lican party is taking hold thus early to
the end that clean, honest ticket shall
be nominated. The present county COM
missioners are blamed, principally for ex-
travagance and loose methods of business.
One of the commissioners isa Democrat
and two are Republicans. Those who
have watched the proceedings closely say
that the Democrat and one of the Republi-
cans do all the business and run things to
hole. The Republicans will endeavor to
nominate three men who will command
the confidence of the taxpayers, and whose
business capacity has been tested.
From all parts of the county come the
best of crop reports. The weather has
been almost all that could be desired, and
much planting has been done both in gar
den and field. There is a prospect that
Chehalis county will raise the greater por-
ton of the farm products consumed at
home this year, although we are eating
California stuff just now exclusively. A
great many fruit trees have also been
planted. There is also a small quantity of
home dairy butter in the market, and it
brings 60 TO so cents per roll. With the
finest grass lands in the world, Cnehalis
county ought to make butter to sell in
stead of buying tons Of California and
Eastern stuff.
A deal is on foot to trade a logging rail-
road on the Max Chuck, owned by Aber-

through the Cohassett resort.

MARIE WAINWRIGHT
At the Metropolitan the Latter
Half OF the Week.


Marie Wainwright will produce "Amy
Robsart'' at the Metropolitan Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week.
This production has been conceded to
be the most lavish, aristocratic and
magnificent that the modern stage has
known. The scenes, eight in number,
represent medieval England at the
height of its glory and display under
the sway of Queen Elizabeth. Kenil-
worth castle, Common place and Green
wich palace are shown as they appeared
in their pristine grandeur, These are
favorite resorts with American tourists
to England, who will surely be glad to,
see the accurate reStOratiOnS that have
been made under the guidance of the
eminent arch&oiogist. Edward Hamii-
ton Bell, who also designed all of Miss
Wainwright's beautiful production of
"TWelfth Night" which was so we'll re-
ceived last year. In the action of the
piece occur number of snowy pageants
and professions which give opportuni-
ties for the display of masses of rich and
weIl-contrasted cOlorS. Miss Wain
wright's Individual success as Amy has
been the most marked and emphatic of
her career. The part is one Ofsingular
sweetness ana patnOS, anu consequently
admirably fitted to her delicate and
subtle art and great charm of person
ality.
In the last act there is a wonderfully
thrilling sensational incident in the
death of Varney, who falls from
bridge at height of twenty feet above
the stage. This is such startling ef
feet as often to cause many of the audi
ence to cry out in fear tor the safety of
the actor.

George Thatcher's minstrels, COM

company, this evening begin a ,,our

in that much-heralded minstrel farce
comedy, Tuxedo" Tuxedo signal
ICES the union of minstrelsy and farce
comedy, and it literally teens with the
brightest, cleanest sort of fun, and the
dialogue is full of really witty sayings
and smart repartees. The presenting
company consists of the pick of George
Teatcher'S minStrelS and Rich and
Harris Comedy company. Every mem
Der is SAID to be clever artist, and
each one has an opportunity during the
performance to make an Individual
hit. The scenes in Tuxedo" are laid
at Tuxedo park, where swell New York
ers first saw Mrs. James Brown Potter
struggling with an amateur attempt at
elevating the stage, and the story deals
with the trials of a party of representa-
tive society people from New York.
Boston and Chicago, who are engaged

kind, diSappointmentS are numerous,
and they are on the verge of failure
when they learn that George Thatcher's
MINISTRIES are rehearsing i'll the neigh
borhood, and they determine to seek
their assistance. This is accordingly
done, and act second shows the min-
strelS on the club house lawn giving
their first part in response to an invita-
tiou from the amateurs. 1t is in this
act that the minstrel is given full sway,
and. with such well-knOwn minstrels as
Thatcher, DoughertY, Shepard, Cole

the fun is fast and furious. while the
singing is of the best. The play is

cuIiar little garment, sort of trinity in
ruffieS, frail in appearance, but en-
dowed with an integrity of moral
principle of which the leader
of the Society for the Prevention
of Crime might be proud.
From the belt of this little garment falls
a f1ounce just long enough to reach to
the knee, and ruffled outside and inside
with the sOftest lace. Beneath this
fiounce is bifurcated frill of lawn, Gov
cred inside and out in both its depart

fitted, so that it follows every move

the little garment is not put on over
your head. and when the pointed slip
perS come tumbling through the feath-
cry fTillS and the belt is fastened, the
dancer can, even without a skirt or
dress, kick the globes off the chandelier
without showing four inches of hose
above her knee. for directly her foot is
raised all the demure little ruffles f1ut-
ter softly and Obediently down with
modest haste and discreetness to con-
ceal the contour of the thigh.
The style of dress adopted by Loie
Fuller and her imitators is not so cir
o
dress, but still the high-priced L0ie is
invited to perform before the Four
Hundred in her purple tights and way
ward agitated skirt. No form of enter
tainment is more popular than the solo
dance for both public and private
amusement. Every light opera. variety
performance, and half the theaters in
troduce some kind of a dance as the
point de resistance of the piece. Every
popular opera boufTe singer has some
original and unique dance in her roper
toire. Jansen danced her way into the
hearts of the people in her "Erminie"
waltz song, Amelia Glover's kick is as
famous as Lillian Russell's smile, and
Cottrelly's Spanish fandango will be re-

Carmencita has been the great draw

Fine ladies have gone yelled to the con-

Most fascinating of all is the dancing
of the little maids that are now taught
to pose and whirl when they learn their
letters. Pretty, sylph-like little fairies
they seem, with flowing hair and loose
gowns of wonderful tints in soft silks,
swaying and skipping to the sound of
sweet music in the grace of childhood.

FEMALE STAGE ROBBERS.
An Old Man Trains His Six Daugh-
terS to the Profession.

An Old Man Trains His Six Daugh-
ters to the Profession.
A few days ago the fact of the numer-
Gus stage hold-ups in this part of the
country was noted and the belief ex-
pressed that sensational developments
would follow the working of clew
which the sheriff was following,
saws an Idaho correspondent Of the
New York Herald. These develop
ments have come, and there now
boards with the sheriff man and
seven women, or rather one woman and
six girls. The belief was strong that
old man Harvey and his family were re-
spOnsible for the numerous robberies,
and this belief has now become a GER
tainty. for the girls we're caught in the
act by clever scheme worked by the
officials. 1t was found that the stages
were robbed after they had left Har-
vey'S. An east-going stage would be
robbed east of Harvey's, while west
going one would be held up on this
side.
In one of the places where the rob-
berries were done the sheriff with ten
men waited while the stage stopped at
the house, with instructions to the driver
to give signs of fear of robbery, because
he carried money box. The bait took.
and when the stage people were eating
dinner the girls disappeared, and soon
the sheriff and his party IN ambush saw
six young men sneak into the little can
yon and hide themselves close to the road.
When the stage came along the ban
dts went forth and stopped it at the
point of their guns, but the sheriff was
also there. and took in the whole gang,
who proved to be the girls who left the
house. When the arrest was made one
OF the girls weakened and told the whole
story. She said she never liked the
work, and was glad they were caught.
They were trained to it by their father
and mother. and the proceeds were
shipped East for sale, so as not to excite
suspicion i'll the country.
