Carlson had been very familiar with the
wife of Chester, a buxom woman about 80

Chester would shoot through the door the
two men went into a box at one side of

Kane.
Manager Meyer of the Wigwam Theater
is much exercised at the publicity given to
the facts concerning the fracas that 0c-
Cured in the theater on Saturday night.

ethics of the recently organized society,
have no business in a theater where liquor
is sold. In the attempt he received rough
treatment from certain of the attaches Of
the theater. Manager Meyer denies the lat
ter allegation, but would be rather pleased
than otherwise if such had been the case.
This gentleman forced his way into
the theatsr," remarked Mr.. Meyer yester-
day, without either asking to see me or
stating his business. The first / knew of
the MATTER was when police officer came
to me and said he was with a Mr.. Kane
who represented some society or other.
He stated that Mr.. Kane was sorry that a
disturbance had taken place, and !, on my
par, told the officer he had my full permis-
sion to go inside and get the boys he and
bis companions were searching for.
'Tbe police are aware" added Mr..
too glad to do anything that is just and
proper, but have to draw the line when
people utterly unknown 10 me force their
way past the gatskeepers."
Mr.. Meyer was unaware of any warrant
being sworn out against either himself or
any of his employees, but announced his
intention Of meeting any such action, IL
such should be taken, by VIII at be termed a
presentation of the facts as outlined above.

The nation demands the passage
of the anti-option bill. BY the ma
ton we mean that portion Of il
which produces the food upon which
the government feeds, exists and
thrives. This food is in the form and
nature of all kinds of agricultural
products through whose agency the
United States government is mad,

tions. From every quarter from
whence comes the soils products OF
any kinds, there arises the demand
for the passage of tlis bill. To The
producing classes it means the righ,

curtsilment of vast profits and mu
nificent fortunes made in a single
day from the labor Of the hard work

sums to encompass its defeat. They
