FAILED TO APPEAR.
The Columbia Opera Company
Did Not Get Here-NO Ex-
PLANTATION Given.

The Columbia Opera company.
which was advertised to play Said
Pasha" at the Gross opera house
Tuesday evening, failed to put IN an
appearance, aud up to the present
time no explanation has been re-
ceived from the company.
1t was a great disappointment to
Manager Gross and a large number
OF people, for owing to the short
time bet ween the arrival of the train
on " hich the troupe were expected,
and the hour for the play to begin.
Mr.. Gross could not see all the
holders OF the tickets, and inform
them Of the compuny's breach Of
contract.
Manager Gross was in st. Paul
Monday afternoon and was talking
with the assistant manager OF the
company. He assured Mr.. Gross
that they would be here, and when
the evening train arrived without
the troupe, Mr.. Gross saw that he
had been fooled, and immediate Iy
/ took steps to inform as many OF his
patrons as possible.
The company was billed to r!nyat
Anoka Monday night, and to that
place Mr.. Gross photographed to know
the reason of the non appearance III
the company in this city. Mr.. Gross
received Il reply stating that Anoka
had been treated in the same manner
as this place, and they also had re-
ceived no explanation and were I'M
able TO account for it..
Manager Gross then communi-
Gated with Cal. Stone, Of the North
ern Pacific, and from him he learned
that the company had played last
Saturday night at Winona, but since
that time he has been unable to To-
cate them.
Manager Gross is now of the
opinion that the company has dis
banded. He expressed Il determine
alton to follow the company, if it
still exists, and make a strong at
tempt to recover damages for the
disappointment and the expense ill
Cured. The least they could have
done..would have been to have wired
informing Mr. Gross in time, of their
inability to be here.
no blame can be attached to Mr..
Gross, for he was confident tnat
they would be here until after the
arrival Of the evening train, and then
he did all in his power to prevent
disappointment to his patrons.
Those who bought tickets were
given back their money.

INDIAN STUDENTS
ST. Johns University Will Not
Renew Its Contract With
the Government.

The Indian boys from White Earth,
ClOuquet and F'On du Lac, to the
number of 10. who have been cared
for and educated at st. Johns uni
versity for the past year, Will be re-
turned to the reservations TOMORROW.
They will be in charge Of Father
Roman, who Is at the head OF the
Indian school at the university.
The Order of st. Benedict which con-
ducts this University, has for some
time been considering the advisabilty
of giving up this branch OF the work
at the college, but the reduction by
the government of the appropriation
One-half has made it necessary. Up
to this time the government has al
lowed 1926 Il year for each pupil.
This included tuition, board, clothing
and medical attendance, in fact
every thing the children needed for
twelve months unless special permits
sion was obtained for vacation.
Generally the boys were given tw"
months vacation and during that
time were returned to the reserva-
lions. This barely paid the cost and
many times has proved a loss
During the past year the allowance
did not near pay the cost. The
Indians are very susceptible to con-
tageous diseases and nearly all Of
them were afflicted with diphtileria
during the winter. Such. however,
was the excellent care which was
given them that there was not \
single fatality. The action of con-
gress in reducing the appropriations
one-half would allow but $3.50. At
st. Joseph the Sisters Of st. Benedict
have gu Indian girls. 1t is under
stood that the Sisters will also not
renew the contract at the reduced
rate. The children will be given
sucn instruction as is afforded on
the reservations.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Midnight Robber Attempts
the Life of Otto ROble, at
Platte River.

Henry Green, who has heeN at
work watching the Muncy dan on
Platte river, was in the city Friday
evening and told a story of an at
tempt at murder which occurred at
his camp Sunday June 81 The
attempt was evidently made tor the
purpose of ROBBERY, and the Intended
victim, Otto Roble. OF this city,
escaped death by Il very narrow
margin.
Young Ro&sle was working with
Mr.. Green, and as the latter was at
his home in this city on that n'Sht
Roble was alone. Robe and Green
occupied as sleeping apartments an
old camp. and owing to the great
heat, a board was torn Oh the build
ing near where their bed was located
for the purpose OF ventilation.
At some hour in the night Kobe
was awakened by what he thought
wa, tome one pOking him for the
purpose oi awakening him. he
asked what was wanted, and the
man told him to get up, quick ana
help him laise the gates OF the dam.
Roble hurri<aly dressed himself ana
went out, and Just as he got out the
door he was knocked down by some
one and rendered unconscious by
the blow. His :lssaiIant then robbed
him, only getting 80 cents and his re-
yolv.r. When he recovered and
made an examination he found that
his under clothing had been cut and
there was also q cut, evidently made
bv a knife, IN his chest. Further in
yestigatiOn showed that there was
also h hole in the blankets with
which he was covered, and that
what he thought was an attempt to
awaken him was III reality an at
tempt to put him to sleep forever,
but the great thickness OF the blank
cts saved his life.
Mr.. Roble has no clue to his assail-
ants, but thinks it is some one OF the
men who were at work on the river,
and thought that he had been PAID
off, when he was in the city a few
days before.
The story seems strange in some
resDec1s. but both Green and ROble
are reliable men, and would not fake
up story like this for the purpose
of notoriety. Then, taking into ac-
count the many crimes that have
been com mitted in this section OF tue
state within a short time, all OF
which were for the purpose OF rob-
berry, the story of this dastardly
attempt on Robes life is very
pro bable.

Sick-poisOn is a poison which
makes you sick. 1t comes from the
stomach. The stomach makes it out
of undigested food.
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That's the way
of it.
The way to be rid OF it is to look
after the digcs ton.
yourfood is all properly digcsted,
there will be none left in the stomach
to make sick. poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to
see to this properly by itself, help it
along with a few doses of Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure OF it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is Il de-
licious. healthful, tonic cordial, made
of pure medicinal plants, herbs and
wine.
1t positively cures indigestion and
prevents the formation of sick-poison.

August Sundberg, who was at one
time one of the proprietors of the
steam laundry here, arrived in the
city Monday evening from st. Cloud.
Mr.. Sundberg is here for the purpose
of looking up the matter of reopen
ing the laundry. The machinery of
the laundry was recently destroyed
by fire and the amount of insurance
allowed was attached by A. X. Hall,
who claimed that as the proprietors
of the laundry had agreed to turn
the building over to him in as good
shape as when they took it, he was
entitled to part of the money for the
damage done to the building. The
matter is still unsettled, and Mr..
Sundberg thinks that the Swanson
Brothers, to whom he sold his
interest, will be able to start up
again in the near future. They will
probably find a new location.
