doe jefferson Thursday Evening-Hoyt's
Hole in the Ground.
MIR. Joseph jefferson with his magnificent
support will appear at Greenwall's opera
house Thursday evening, February II, in
Sheridan's three-act comedy, 1.-THE Rivals. -
The New. York Press says: That quaint
and delightful old comedy, ''The Rivals
has been the means of many triumphs on
both the American and English stages, but
IL probably never was more warmly re-
ceiyed or more perfectly acted than at,the
Star theater last evening. The combina-
ton of such brilliant comedians as Joseph
jefferson and Mrs. John Drew in one COM
pany is great rarity, and as these ap-
peaTed together in "The Rivals last night,
it is not to be wondered at that the theater
was completely filed. The house was IN
laughter almost constantly. Every member
of the company added his OF her part to the
merriment. Jefferson was at his best. His
Bob Acres was the same vain country
squire as ever, and the bravado and abject
fear were again depicted as only Jefferson
can. Mrs. John Drew was once more the
Mrs. Malaprop and repeated her former
success in the part.
\ HOLE IN THE GROUND.
"a Hole in the Ground" Charles Hoyt's
exceedingly funny musical farce, will be
the attraction at the opera house Monday
and Tuesday. February 10 and 49, This
piece pictures with ludicrous vividness the
disadvantages of detention at an out-of-
the-way railway station. Any man or
woman who ever had TO wait for a train, or
mas IN any way come in contact with rail-
way officialism, will appreciate the satire
of this play, of which the fun of Mr.. Hoyt
permeates every line. OF the present com
pany much praise has been given in other
cities. Charles Cowles is new here as the
Stranger, but Frank LawtOn is well known
as the Station Agent. Barry Maxwell is

Worse ut Occur d'Alene.


Aapecial train. consisting of nine cars,
with government troops from Fort Van
couver, passed through The Dalles at
1 :15 p. m. today for the scene of the
troubles at Wardner. They expect to
get there early tomorrow forenoon.
Trouble is increasing very fast. The
mob took possession of Wardner yester-
day, and now have possession of the
mills Of all the mining companies there,
and have issued an ultimatum that un-
less the owners discharge all non-union
men employed, before IL o'clock today,
the mills and concentrators would be
blown up by dynamite. To protect
themselves the mill and mine-owners
signed as wished by the strikers. Six
hundred strikers after ~ O'Clock last
night surrounded the concentrators of
the Bunker hill and Sullivan, with an
armed Gordon. Giant powder and dyna-
mite was placed under the buildings
and fuses attached. They then demand
ed of those inside the mill to surrender,
which they promptly did. Formal pos
session was then taken of the mills and
! the concentrators by the strikers. Three
hundred men with Winchesters, lay
concealed at the mouth of Bunker Hill
waiting for the onslaught which never
came. When morning dawned the
Bunker Hill people learned they had
been outwitted. The guards were in the
wrong place and $500, 900 worth of build
ings and machinery can now be destroy
ed by the touch of match. In order
to prevent the arrival of troops
today the strikers are burning bridges
along the line of the railroad. Troops
are expect from Fort Sherman, Idaho,
Fort Missoula, Mont, and. Fort Van
couver, Wash. They viii be under the
orders of Gov. Wiley and cooperate
with the state militia. The governor
says he will mass q regiment of United
States troops and 200 militia at the
scene of the difficulty. He has also
asked for troops from Fort Spokane and
Walla. It is feared the strikers will
blow up the mills today.

jacobsen Reoovers His Buggy.

Last evening as Mr.. E Jacobsen was
dining at Haights a couple of tramps
came along and drove off with his horse
and buggy which had been left hitched
at the post. As soon as the meal was
finished he was kindly loaned Mr.. Free
mans horse and buggy, and taking Con.
Howe with him started post haste after
the tramps. They came up. with them
out about Three-mile. Judge of Jacob
sens surprise when he discovered the
tramps to be a couple of his best Dalles
friends. He cooled off a little but was
yet pretty hot in the collar, until the full
force of the intended joke struck him,
then he concluded that as the joke had
gone at least two miles and half too
far, he would sit as judge of the court
and imposed as penalty that the jokers
walk home. All parties were feeling
pretty well over the joke this morning.
