FIFTH WEEK OF AMERICA.

The fifth week of the matchIess
auditorium spectacle, America, was
inaugurated last Monday, the occa-
sion being marked by increased at
tendance. Two new specialties were
introduced which are destined to be-
come extremely popular. One was
the appearance of Nine. Lucie Pali-
cot, distinguished Partisan artistic,
who plays the Pedalia piano between
two acts of the spectacle. Her per-
Torrance on the new instrumental
combination of piano and organ
created great enthusiasm, and proved
to be an attraction worth a visit in
itself Nine. Palicot is said to hold
very high place among the leading
musical celebrities of Europe, and so
great has been her success there that
it was not until this season that her
engagements permitted visit to
this country.
The brilliancy of the delightful
features of america" has been
heightened by "pas de deuX" by
Mile. LUCIA Cerale, the Viennese
premiere, and Signor Simone Ella, of
the Empire, London. The new dance
occurs in the Merrymount scene, and
so strongly met with approval from
the audience that many encores were
demanded.
Basco and Roberts, the BLACK face"
trapeze artists, continue to convulse
the people with their very comical act.
The famous acrobatic trio, the Judge
Brothers, are also retained by the
manage ment.

R0BBING THE PEOPLE.

The people should read the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, and
then see how much right the Pres
byterian Theological Seminary has to
escape taxation on $50 residences and
fifteen acres of land on Fullerton,
Belden and Sheffield avenues.
Land belonging to an institution Of
learning upon rhich buildings or instit,t-
tons are not located and tchicb is not used
EXCLUSIVELY By the corporation, is sub
ject to taration."
The words quoted were used by the
Supreme Court of Illinois, in the
matter of this same Presbyterian
Theological Seminary, which always
tried to get out of paying its just
dues, and can he found on page $50
of Volume CT. of Freeman's Illinois
Supreme Court Reports.
The County Collector oe Cook
County sued this same Theological
Seminary of the Northwest, in 1880,
for taxes. There were then no resi-
dences on this fifteen acres of land,
yet the Supreme Court decided that
they must pay taxes,
In the face of this decision of the
highest court in the State, the Off
Gals of Cook County have connived
with sundry parties to keep this as
sessment off of the tax books even
after the North To,ca assessor has assessed
them.
How is that for fraud?
Talk about anarchists defying the
law. Did they ever do anything like
this?
The people should Use up and wipe
out this injustice at the polls.
If the fault is in the County Court,
strike it there.
If the fault is in the County Clerks
Office, strike it there
But strike it anywhere.
The law and the Supreme Court
have each been defed long enough.
Religious crooks are no better than
any other crooks.
Here is an extract from the Ameri-
can Encyclopedia of Law, volume 4,
quoting the consensus Of the opinions
of the Supreme Courts of twenty
eight States on this subject:
IAN exemption of the property of
religious, charitable and educational
institutions will be construed to ex-
tend only to the property actually used
tOr religious, charitable and educational
purposes, and not to other property held
By It as source Of Terenue, on capable Of
being applied to a,ch use.
If that is not strong enough law to
protect the people in their rights
what is?
And yet the Presbyterian Theologi-
cal Seminary pays no taxes on fifteen
acres Of residence property, each
house on which rents from sS5 tc
5000 per month.
Why is this fraud permitted &c

WHAT A COMBINATION.

The suspension of the Columbia
National Bank, of Chicago, the other
day, brings into prominence an in
teresting chapter, in which banking,
real estate and medicine businesses
are somewhat intermingled.
Zimri Dwiggins, as banker in At
tica, Ind, a few years ago, estab-
lished relations with G.. w. Wigs
and j. NJ. Starbuck, who were oper-
ating bucket shops in different parts
of the West under the name of Wiley
Strowbridge & Co. Later the firm Of
Dwiggins, Starbuck & Co. was formed
the "Co.o being VIM. H. Starbuck
and they made Chicago their head
quarters. In February, 1891, having
taken possession of the charter of the
United States National Bank, they
organized the Columbia National
Bank, with a capital Of 81, 900, 900
and the following directors:
j. D. Allen, of Allen, Opdyke q

ident of Mcneil & Higgins Company,

JOE HOWARD gives it as his opinion
that as teacher the pulpit is not in
it with the theater. This is encour-
agement from high source to such
histrlonic lights as Messrs. Corbett,
Sullivan, McAulifre and Dixon. Now
If some OF the theatrical stars would
only enter the prile-ring the philo-
sophieal Howard might look upon
the pulpit as supertluous.

did not necessarily require the use of
much actual money by the Trust
Company. But the difference of two
per cent. interest to the latter, on
the aggregate loans, made pretty
penny if such an arrangement was
made with all the banks which the
Columbia represented. 1t also gave
the Columbia neat basis for a de-
posit account on paper.
The firm of Jay Dwiggins & Co.
consists of Jay, Elmer and Robert S.
Dwiggins They began operations in
real estate in Chicago early in 1890,
and afterward started the town of

Roper to Hang.


John Roper was convicted at Las
Cruces last week OF the murder OF Sam
Steele and sentenced 10 be hanged on the
18th OF April His attorneys moved for
a new trial which was denied. The case
was then appealed 10 the supreme court
aud the date set for the execution in case
the supreme court aiirms the decision
Of the district court is August Goth.
The evidence against Roper was pure
ly circumstantial but it seemed to be
conclusive. II Roper does not deserve
to be hanged for the crime Of which he
has been convicted he deserves hanging
for the crimes which he has committed.
II he Is guilty Of the murder Of young
Steel, and there is no reasonable ground
for doubling bis guilt, he is guilty Of one
Of the most cold blooded murders ever
committed in this part Of the Territory.
The last issue Of the Western Liberal
contained these complimentary remarks
about himi
II appears that Roper was the cowboy
who killed old Pat Devine at Hachita
one Fourth Of July a few years ago. Old
Pat had a patriotic way got a beautiful
jag on and LAID down beside the saloon
TO sleep II of. Roper saw him and be-
gan shooting at him to SEQ him jump.
Devine never jumped, he died. Roper was
one Of the gang Of fellows who decided
thatsheep should be brougt into Graham
county, and to enforce the decision killed
four or i've Mexican sheep herders who
brought ia some. Luckily for him young
bifohheld was 10 his party and Birch
heid's father, In order 10 ave bis son had
70 put up enough money 10 clear the rest
OF the hang. IL nothing Unforeseen hap
pens Mr.. Roper will do no more shooting,
The Liberal IL mistaken about Roper
being one Of the gang who hllsd Devipe.
