When the Temple of Diana Fell, He Became
Very Much Excited.
Alexander Salvini tells an amusing
story Of his experience while acting
as stage director for his father when
the latter began his last American
tour.
81 took entire charge of the stage
direction for father" said he in a chat
the other day, and so relieved him
of all ar rxiety on that score. had
the most difficulty in getting proper
handling Of the temple scene in Sam
BON, where Samson pulls the shrine
of Diana down upon the heads of the
people. Isuperintended this and got
everything into working shape, but
did not have father rehearse the fall
ing in of the temple.
81 knew that the mechanical effect
would take care of itself, SO far as he
was concerned, and merely placed a
dummy there SO as to arrange that
none of the debris should fall so as to
hit Samson. The effect of this t1m-
bling in of the scenery was rather
terrifying. Itwas the 'supers' whom
I expected to give me the most
trouble. Of course wished them,
representing the worshipers in the
temple, to'make regular stampede,
but did not rehearse them for it.
''Well, when we played Samson
the first night 1 secured just the re-
suit I wanted. You ought to have
seen those supers run off the stagel
They thought the whole house was
tumbling in on them. The way they
went off that stage was a caution.
At least they tried to go, but in their
terror they tumbled all over one an
other in heap. 1t produced mag
nifcent terror effect, and the audi
ence probably thought it had all been
rehearsed to perfection. But the SUI
pers knew better"
''How did they act the next nlghtT
''They didn't act at all. They were
so terrified that they never came
back. I expected that and had new
lot ready. The most astounded man
of all was probably father. When
the whole temple tumbled down
upon him, he was perfectly bewil-
dered, and as soon as the curtain was
down he turned to me and energetic
ally exclaimed, Sacramento but
do you want to kill mea' When
cautious investigation showed him
that no piece of scenery could fall on
him, he accepted the situation philo-
sophically." Minneapolis Tribune.

The Trade of Burglary.

Burglary is a trade. 1t has its
tricks, its tools and its ups and downs.
It is a trade which is continually
changing and improving. Methods
of high class burglars that were in
vogue 20 years ago are hardly known
now. The thief's jimmy" is out of
date. Safe blowing has given way to
safe cracking. Four or five men,
with few sticks of dynamite, rob a
train nowadays as easily as 20 men
armed to the teeth did it dozen years
ago. But in spite of the changes the
motto of all low grade crooks is, ''The
way to steal is to steal"
They embrace every opportunity
and steal whenever they can, often
making bungling job and getting
nipped. After a few terms in the
penitentiary, however, they are no
longer low grade crooks, but have be-
come educated professionals. The
penitentiary is their school. There
they are taught all the improvements
of the ''trade," and there many bur
glars devices are invented by brainy
but vicious men.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A marrow ESCAPE In Rus.ia.

We had just left station near the
EEsh river. The road was near the
precipitous river bank Our horses
started at a mad pace, and the driver
could not control them. They gal
loped straight toward precipice that
a turn in the road brought just ahead
of us. I thought we were lost. M.
de Ujfalvy stood on the carriage
steps, revolver in hand. ready to
shoot the middle horse, hoping that
If he fell dead the others would halt.
Some Cossacks who saw the danger
rushed to us shouting, Don't fire."
One of them grasped the bride Of
the middle horse, and by an almost
superhuman effort stopped him. It
was time. We could look down into
the abyss. s.-Cor. Manchester Times.

Damaged by Floods.

MARsHE1ELD, Or, Dec. 2-The high
waters on the Coqullle have played ha-
voc with the Coos Bay and Roseburg
railroad for distance of 18 miles. At
last reports driftwood was piled up
along the line of the road the greater
part of the way from Cedar Point to
Myrtle Point, and in places only one rail
could be. seen, showing that the freshet
had washed out the bed. It is generally
believed that there will be no trains run
ming to Myrtle Point for number of
months. The flood has damaged the
road to the extent of many thousand
dollars, but the exact amount will not
be known until the waters have receded

The man in the life. saving service who
keeps vigil over stretch of the ocean

the trunk of body on the beach yester-
day. As both the upper and lower ex-
tremities had been eaten off by marine
scavengers, it left no clue to the identity
of the body. but it is generally believed
to be the remains of Charles Robertson,
who was drowned near this vicinity last
July at the time of the wreck of the i'll

COMMON COUNCIL.

A regular meeting of the council was held
at the council chambers Saturday, Dec. I'd,
at 7:3O F. M.
Hen. Paul Kreft, Mayor and full coun.
Gil present.
The minutes of the regular meeting of
Nov. Sd and of the special meeting of Nov.
Sth were read and approved.
The remonstrance of 81. Herbripg and
others against the removal Of the arc light
on Third and Lincoln was read.
Communication of George Darch in refer
ence of piles of rock and gravel was re-
ferred to committee on streets and public
property.
The request of Marshal Malonsy, asking
that the council grant him leave of absence
from Nov. 8. 1898. to Dec. 2, 1898, was
read and on motion the same was granted.
Councilman Lauer, chairman of commit
tee On streets and public property, reported
that in the matter OF the Lincoln street
sewer, now decayed, and which had been
referred to said committee, that the same
had procured the services of G. j. Crandall
in making survey and preparing plans for
rebuilding the same. He thereupen re-
ported as follows: That he had levelled |
Lincoln street and had made an approxi-
mate cost of an eight-ineh terra Gotta sewer,
from that highway to low water mark of
Mill creek. He had designated the places
for putting III branches to connect all
houses with said sewer; also had made al.
lewances for branches on the square of
Third and Lincoln, and Fourth and Lincoln,
to which the street commissioner could at
tach lbleeders, and had also designated every
100 feet for man hole to clean the same in
case of obstruction; also considered 1t adj
visable to use the old sewer ditch for the
new one on account of street being nearly
all solid rock, and recommended that the
work constructing the sewer be classified
and bids received for each class as follows:
For excavatlng, SO much per cubic yard for
loose rock; so much for loose earth, per
cubic yard; for the price of branches; for
laying, csmenting and filling sewer; for re-
moval refuse of old sewer.
On motion a committee of three was ap-
pointed by the mayor to assess the cost of
the same, consisting OF J. F.
5taniaIs, Smith French and George Ruch.
, Councilman Lauer reported as regards the
of the light on the corner of Third

trance, that the committee on streets and

MAIDEN LOCALS.

Mr.. ". II. Burgess returned from his
business trip to Helena and Great Falls
last Thursday. He thinks they will put in
the new milling plant for the Maginnis
mine very shortly.
Mr.. Clark, the treasurer Of the Gilt Edge
Mining company, is spending a few days at
the mine. He said the company expected
to have the new cyanide mill in operation
by July LIST. although it might be some
time later on account OF the machinery
being delayed.
Messrs. Houton and Riley were in town
yesterday from Butte and were surveying
the Maginnis lower levels and taking
samples of the ore. 1t is rumored that
these gentlemen are working for the inter.
ests of Butte capitalists, who are going to
invest in the old Maginnis property.
Norman b. Hotter of Helena was ex-
amining the Maginnis mine and looking
after the interests Of Hauser and Hotter
generally. He left for Helena on Sunday
and expressed. himself as being satisfied
that Maiden would be the best mining
camp in the state in a very few years.
Two or three mining deals are on the
tapis and it is almost settled that a good
deal of money will be invested here very
soon and the prospectors are beginning to
think that they will shortly reap their re
wards of hard labor, patience and perse
verance.
Maiden is preparing for the 4th of July

GALL,

The following is from the pen Of the
mar who recently received a crumb
from the hands of Grover Cleveland
and who bows in reverence to the
obese monk of modern Democracy.
Sam Hauser's Independent, in a recent
issue says:
At a recent session of w~oolgrowers at
Lewistown it was proposed to form a
state organization to promote the best
interests of the industry. A conven-
ton for this purpose has been called to
meet at Great Falls, September first.
This is an excellent scheme and should
be carried Out. Wool growing is a
great industry in this state and will
become very much greater when a free
wool bill creates a better and steadier
demand for the Montana ~fleeces. Like
every other business it becomes better
by the study of methods and the inter
change of practical ideas by those who
have made it a success. The conven-
ton should be attended by every wool
grower in the state and the ~organiza-
ton formed should include officers
from every county.
The Tammany importation who
wrote the above, may hoodwink some
of his readers by being e~vasive and
fool a few woolgrowers with his free
wool sophistry, but to many the above
reads like an apology for a misfortune
thrust upon the country, particularly
| upon Montana. Nothing but the ex,
listing state of the market called the
members of the Judith Woolgrowers
Association together. Nothing but the
threatened ruin Of the industry will
| cause them to assemble in state con.
vention. If such convention is held il
will he for the purpose of taking som,
action toward defeating any free WOO
bill that may be offered by the ap
preaching congress. The meeting il
called for September in order that del
egates may be chosen to attend tn,
meeting of the National Association u
Chicago in October. While it is reason
able to suppose that all matters per
tanning to the industry may be dis
cussed, the defeat of u free wool bill i
the chief object. If we remembe
right, a state association was formed il
Billings last fall. The meeting at tn,
Falls in September should be for
Specific purpose and it is out of plac'
for a dough-face, subsidized editor t.
misrepresent the purpose of TIN
meeting.

DR.. NJ. j. Davis is a prominent physician
of Lewis, Cass county, Iowa, and has been
actively engaged in the practice of medi-
cine at that place for the past thirty-fve
years. On the 26th OF May, while in Des

procured a % cent bottle, two doses oil
which completely cured him. The excite.
