Street Railway Matters.

The difficult work of stretching the
feed wire is still in progress On the
South Side.
Work on the power house at Forty
second street is progressing nicely, and
it will soon be completed.
One of the new cars received last
week was placed on. the Island, Satur-
day and Sunday, and gave general sat
istaction. In workmanship and general
appearance, it is far superior to the
old cars. The new cars are made by a
Philadelphia firm, are two feet longer,
and higher than the old ones, and
painted handsome yellow.
To-day the work OF substituting the
single overhead wires for the double
wires will be commenced on the loop, and
the car service will probably be irreg-
ular. The wire will he stretched along
the west and south bound track, COM
mencing at Forty-third street, and
working north to Tenth street. 1t will
take several days to finish the work,
after which single trolleys will be used
exclusively at the ''loop."

TRE mUsEE THEATRE.
Manager scOneld. OF the Theatre, Leaves
the CITY.

the City.
The legal complications in which the
management of the Musee Theatre be-
came involved on Saturday, or at least
that portion Of the management repre-
sented by Mr.. Scofeld, were read with
interest yesterday. Some time during
the day both Mr.. Scoheld and his SON.
in-Iaw left the city, presumably for
their homes in Toledo. and the creditors
are left in the lurch. The hearing was
set for Tuesday morning.
About half an hour after Scofeld's
arrest, telephone message was sent
for a physician who found that Mr..
SOrtore's condition was worse. The
change was probably brought about by
excitement, and yesterday he was re-
ported in a dangerous condition. The
quarrel between the employees Of the
theatre and Mr.. Schofeld took place In
a room adjoining that in which Mr..
Sortore was lying in his bed, and there
was constant opening Of the door be-
tween, and q rush in and out Of this
room. General sympathy was expressed
yesterday for Mr.. Sortore.
More stories Of Sco6eld's alleged
crookedness were told yesterday. Man
ager Tracy OF the Western Union,
stated that he telegraphed for per-
formers last week, and the latter
asked II he would pay salaries. Mr..
Tracy put the question to ScOfield, and
he answered in the affirmative, saying
he had plenty of money to do it. 1t
was also stated yesterday that the tick
cts received in the theatre depart
ment called for twenty-four dollars,
while Scofeld said he received
only eight. The employees OF the
theatre laugh at the statement that
Scofeld's books will prove his guilt or
innocence Of the charges against him,
and allege that it would be an easy
matter to SIX" them. Last week one
of the men brought action before JUS
tide Ankle for recovery of overdue
salary, and Sco6eld told him he would
not pay him on that account
ScOheld Is said to be very comfort
ably situated at his home in Toledo,
possessing considerable property, while
his son-in-law Is proprietor of a pros
porous jewelrY store.
Owing to the trouble with the man
sgement the Musee will be closed to-
day. 1t is understood that several peo-
pie are anxious to take charge OF the
theatre, and think they could make it
pay. One of these is Billy
Wins, who says there is a mint of
money" in the theatre. Mr.. Wins
partner in the theatrical business is in
the city, and it is probable that the two
will make an effort TO secure the place.
People who are in position to know
say that the theater would DE paying
investment If properly managed, and
with good attractions. 1t Is not prob
able that 1t will remain closed long.

The onward motion is unselfsh, pro-

Of the sun. and moves in obedience to
that influence. It must not spend all
its time In selfish rotation, but must
progress through the heavens. Israel
must come out Of the wilderness and
move toward Canaan. 1t must be max

and its salvation. Make the world bet

All the Men Implicated Jailed, But
No Money Recovered.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. pa special
to The News from Marquette, Mich,
says: After three days of sleepless toll
the detectives have captured all who
were directly or Indirectly implicated
in the robbery of the express Car on the
Mineral Range road last Friday, but
are as far as ever from success in find
ing the plumber. The money has been
accurately traced through the hands of
all who were in the plot, but here the
clue suddenly ends The robbers have
either cleverly concealed the booty or,
as they aver. others have succeeded in
flching the money from the robbers
themselves. OF the $50, 900 stolen from
the train it is now pretty we'll known
that aside from $1,000 found in La
Liberty's trunk, none has been re-
covered.
John Winters and Wesley Shoop, the
men who handled the trunk here, have
been released from custody. No evil
dence could be obtained against them,
and they proved that they had no
knowledge of the contents of the trunk.

Forest Fires Along the Coast of Lake
Superior Subsiding.
DULUTH, Sept. 20.-A northwesterly
gale, which prevailed all night, drove
off the pail of smoke that has been
thick over this end of Lake Superior
for the past 10 days. Fires in the pin
cries on the south shore of Lake Su-
perior were distinctly visible, stretch
ing for miles. The gale was ad-
vantageous in blowing the flames
back over their own track,
and the terrible fires appear to be now
less severe. Along the Duluth, South
Shore and Atlantic road the fires are
very severe. particularly east of Iron
river. At Shiloh, IS miles east of Mes
toria, there is great danger. At every
bridge along the road east from Duluth
men are stationed, and the cars of the
west-bound train here this morning
were scorched by running between
lines of flames.

BOOMERS SUFFERING.
Lack OF Water on the Strip CausinR
Much Sickness

Lack OF Water on the. Strip Causing
Much Sickness.
PERRY, o. T., Sept. 20.-Unless rain
soon comes to relieve the boomers now
in the Cherokee strip the fight for
homes will be turned into q fight for
life. The suffering they are now under
going is simply torture. There are
men and women at Perry-men and
women of refinement, too-who have
not washed their hands and faces since
last Saturday because water is selling at
8 per barrel. The stuff is hardly fit
to drink, but it is too precious to be
used for bathing purposes. There is
heat and dust almost intolerable and
hardly enough food and drink to keep
body and soul together. Added to
these physical ills are tho worry and
annoyance of many contests over
claims, drunkenness, disorder and
crime of every description. The pict-
ure is not bright one. A very bitter
feeling has arisen against boomers from
Guthrie and Oklahoma City. Men
from other points claim thata majority
OF them are ''sooners," and that they
gobbled up the choice claims There
are many women in the camp, and
although they stick to their lots
pluckily, are nearly all sick and utterly
worn out A great deal of sickness ex-
lists and there are no facilities whatever
for caring for the invalids,
