Ever since Sunday, "nen the cold wave

were entertained that harm had been
wrought TO the ground plants. These
fears were as far assuaged as
possible by those whose interest II was
10 do so. Every report OF damage was
discredited or talked down, but the Weatn-
er conditions to-day were of such char
acter that plausible theories OF unJolnted
wheat, etc. were cast aside, and FOR
thirty minutes during the early part
Of the session everybody was Duli.
IL was either raining or showing where
ever wheat was planted, and back OF

try, was an area or low temperature.
The Government indications confirmed
the prospect Of a freeze by predicting
severe cold wave. Shorts endeaFored

OPENING OF DAVIS THsATER.

to Begin Mondsy

season Of the Transformed Wonderland
to Begin Mondsy
On Monday Gsorge E. Davis will re.
open his popular place of amusement
for the fifth season. The attraction
will be "All Lady Vaudeville Stars /"
This season the house will be known as
Davis theater, 1t having been decided
to abandon the old name Wonderland.
The attraction with which the house
will open is splendid one and not TO
be compared to the so-called Beauty
Shows" that go about the country with
nothing else to recommend them to
amusement patrons
A large number of first class com
binations have already been engaged,
whose standing is far above anything
yet shown In Scranton for the money
The price of admission, notwithstand-
ing that tho expenses will be much
greater, will remain the same-10, 20
or 80 cents. Ten cents will be charged
all children under 12 years of age, and
free seat in the theater will be given
them, on Saturday afternoons only.
Mr.. Davis says:
1--WE are reluctantly compelled to
drop the name Wonderland" in cur
advertising, as 1t had the effect in the
professional world Of forcing the i'm
preston that we were still conducting
museum--a notion We must dispel
in order 10 secure higher class
attractions. But all our Scranton
friends will identify the old stand
by the new title, Davis Theater,
for obvious reasons, and probably many
will never drop the old euphonions
and suggestive title which has been a
household word for several years. y
Performances will be given every af
tsrnoon and evening.

the Smoky City.

Harry E. Staples was arrested yes
tsrday in this city on charge Of
fraud preferred by w. K Heritage. of
the firm of Jones & Heritage, commits.
sion merchants, OF Philadelphia.
1t appears from the statement Of d.
L. Kline. an employe of Staples, who
was arrested on similar charge sew.
ersl weeks ago, that Staples has been
acting in somewhat peculiar manner
during the past summer. According to
Klines written statement, now in
Chief Simpsons hands, Staples engaged
him to 90 to Pittsburg and to allow
the use of his name in a wholesale fruit
and produce business which he estab-
lished there and which he ran
with the evident purpose of
taking in all he could end
paying as little as possible Staples
lived in splendid style in the Smoky
City, and as he never used any Of the
revenues Of the business in paying for
the stock and from the fact that Kline
accidently opened Q letter which was
addressed to Staples he (Kline) was led

locking up the store he came home.
Tbs full extent of Staples transac-
tions cannot be learned at present, but
it is stated upon good authority that
he has succeeded In selling and pook.
citing the returns on several carloads
OF country produce, tropical fruits and
vegetables. The Philadelphia firm
which is prosecuting him, lost a car.
load Of bananas. A Detroit firm and
another In Baltimore will also be inter.
ested In hearing of the arrest of Sta
pies. which was accomplished yester
day morning by Chief Simpson and
Officer Roche. They had been looking
for him for couple Of weeks, but
could not locate him. it being given
out by his relations that he was up

was taken, held him In 81, 900 bail. @.
