A PRETTY SCENE.
Glimpse at the Bazaar of the Ladies
 Circle, w. o. w.

The old Republican office on Center street was a bower of beauty last night and an admiring exclamation was involuntarily given by every one who entered the place. The occasion was the bazaar given by the Ladies' Circle of the Woodmen of the World for the purpose of securing funds to purchase regalias for the lodge.
 The ladies worked hard to make a tasteful and tempting display and how well they succeeded was best told by the pleased faces that constantly passed in and out of the building. During the early part of the evening the room was crowded with eager purchasers.
 The booths were decorated with rare artistic skill and the charming cos tunes worn by the ladies in charge of them made a harmonizing picture.
 Toward the rear, and in the center Of the room, under canopy of palms and peppers, sat Rebecca at the We'll. Rebecca was charmingly represented by Miss Pearl Rigden, who was appro- priately costumed The we'll was nr'""e, heinz square box with up- rights and cross-piece, from which was suspended rope and bucket.

St. Claire says that Sunday night last three masked men entered restau- rant operated by Chinaman named Toi Sang. The proprietor was alone in the restaurant and the men pro ceeded to business at once by binding Gand gagging Toi Sang. They then ransacked the money drawer and secured $1S5 in money, gold watch and other jewelry. Toi Sang lay on the floor all night in a helpless con- dition and was found in the morning by one of his employees.

The highest endorsement receive

The highest endorsement received by Darkest Russia has been it's financial success. It has to its credit the unusual recur of successful runs in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Boston, besides having been pre- sented in all the large cities of the Union.
 Darkest Russia" owes it's success to the perfect manner in which it has been presented. The company has been improved materially from the or iginal production. It is the only way play of recent years that has given un- iversal satisfaction to all classes of theater goers and is lasting monu- ment to the genius of an American author and the enterprise of an Amer ican management.

SHOT IN THE FACE.
This Time a Chinaman Was the Vic
 tim of the Unloaded Gun.

"Melican boy shootee me with pis- tol," were the words of Chinaman who ran excitedly into the sheriff's office yesterday morning. The fol- lower of Confucius presented a dis dressing appearance. His face was smeared with blood and he trembled with fear.
 Turnkey Slankard was surprised at the blood-stained apparition, but be- fore he could ask any questions the Chinaman pointed wavering finger to his forehead and eagerly exclaimed: You see him hole? You think me die?"
 Examination revealed that a pistol ball had struck John square in the forehead and plowed the flesh for two inches, being imbedded under the skin. The wound was superficial and after being assured that'he was worth mill lion dead Chinamen he essayed to tell his story.
 He said that he had been shot by a boy, and the officer started out with him to locate the wielder of the gun He was not two blocks away and was going to the court house to surrender himself
 The boy gave his name as Jesus Villas and said he was 16 years of age His story of the affair was that he was out shooting with a 32-caliber pistol the previous day and was positive he had emptied the weapon of all cart ridges. Yesterday morning he put the pistol in his pocket intending to go after a load of wood. Near Will liscraft's foundry he was met by g Chinese peddler named An Wong The Chinaman wanted him to go to Tempe with him after a load of veg etables. The boy said he could not do so as he was going after a load ot wood. They began joking when tht boy pulled the gun out of his pocke' and pointed it at An Wong with ths remark that he was going to shoot him The weapon exploded and An Wong was struck in the forehead.
 The boy was lodged in jail and vii be examined by Justice Johnstone thi morning.

DARKEST RUSSIA.

A romantic drama dealing with life and scenes amid the splendors and mo- bility of St. Petersburg and the snow covered wastes of Siberia will be seen at the Opera House Monday night, Dec. IA, with the suggestive title of Dark est Russia" The name conveys very little to the imagination of the theater goer of the splendor of the production, the merit of the play or the picturesque beauty of the scenery The theme of Russia's wrongs has been exploited be- fore the public before, but in such a way as to convey a wrong impression of what life in Russia really is. In Darkest Russia the miner is held up to nature in such manner as to reflect accurately and without exaggeration the various phases of life seen in the vast empire of the czar The noble in his palace, the minister of police in his office, the Nihilfst in his secret rendez- vous and the exile in his Siberian home have each a photograph in this great play. The characters are all taken from real life, the places repre- sented are exact reproductions of na- tional localities in Russia that have a historical value from being visited and inhabited by three generations of the imperial family.
 A direct appeal is made to the in- telligence of the better class of theater goers and in presenting Darkest Rus sia,' in the perfect manner which has characterized it's presentations, Man ager Sidney R. Ellis marks new epoch in the history of romantic drama. Every detail is perfect. The play itself is an embodiment of all the essential elements required to make perfect stage romance. The heart interest pervades the entire play and bright infectious comedy affords a pleasing contrast to the exciting dra- matic scenes. The story is one of pe- culiar interest and begins in the midst of fete in a palace in St. Petersburg from which, as the story progresses
 the spectator is carried to a secret meeting of a body of desperate mini lists in their guarded apartments. The arrest of the conspirators brings the next scene before the minister of police and from there the east transition tC Siberia with the sentenced convicts is made
 A special feature of the production
 will be the scenic environment. Every
 scene used to illustrate the play is
 carried complete and are gems of tht
 scenic painters art; all the costumes
 bric-a-brac and necessary adjus
 ments are reproductions made iron
 correct desgins by Baron de Grimm.

 The Japanese booth presented a truly Oriental appearance and was presided over by Mrs. Giegas, assisted by Misses Lillian Giegas and Warren, who were prettily attired in Japanese costumes that harmonized well with the Japanese and Chinese goods on display.
 The next booth was what might be termed the gallery of art. In this booth some handsome oil paintings were displayed. The booth was pre- sided over by -Ars. E. A. Matthews.
 The apron booth was in charge of Mrs. H. B. St. Claire. There were aprons of all kinds and prices on dis play, and the booth was we'll patron ized.
 The bag booth was in charge of Mrs. Sturges and Mrs: Wohler. There were many tempting and pretty articles on sale and the ladies succeeded in dis posing of the largest part of their goods.
 The doll and fancy booth was well patronized also. The display of dolls was beautiful and varied and all were prettily costumed A very large and handsome doll attired in bridal cos tune was in evidence and will be rallied off tonight. This booth was presided over by Mrs. Gamble and Miss Nellie Trott.
 The candy table was in charge of Miss Wilma Sturges, who did an ex- cellent business in disposing of the toothsome sweets.
 Lunch was served in they ear of the room and Lne diners were cleverly waited upon by Mrs Frank Trott and Misses Christianson and Williamson.
 Mrs. Tiffany, president of the Wood men Circle, had general supervision and she is entitled to great credit for the success of the affair.
 The bazaar will be continued this afternoon and evening"
