we'll in the background during the greater
part of the company's engagement this time,
in role thoroughly congen;al and one in
which he has made a name for himself in
other years, locally as we'll as elsewhere. The
dashing young busEranger's efforts to make
for himself home, interrupted as they are
by the complications that arise from the FAM

as he has not had previously during the

a role more cheerful. though not any less
exacting, than hitherto. Miss Annie Blancke' S
Mabel Seabrook was thoroughly enjoyable,
sparkling with her characteristic comedy.

eye role as thankless as it is comparatively
small.

evident nervousness, gave a creditable
performance.
Edward Tittman filled the role of Mr.. Sea-

more ambitious role than the young actor has

CROPS MAKE GOOD PROGRESS,
Though Weather in South Dakota
Has Not Been Favorable.


HURON, S. D., Aug. According
to reports from forty-three counties
summarized in today's bulletin from the
government bureau here, crops in South
Dakota have made fair progress during
the past week, although the weather
has been quite unfavorable in many
locations. Considerable Improvement
is noticed in late wheat especially. 1t
appears from reports that the berry
is Pumping nicely and the quality in
most localities will be good. Barley
harvest is nearly completed in the CEN
trail and southern counties. Early
wheat harvest is becoming general in
the same sections and in the most
southern counties is far advanced. Bar
ley appears to be in fair to good crop
of good quality. Wheat is uneven,
some very good some fair and some
poor, but there appears to be general
impression that the quality Of the
berry will be good. Corn has done
well generally, has gained rapidly on
the season and is tasselling and earring
in the central and southern counties.
Unless frosts are unusually early, with
otherwise favorable weather corn prom
ises a good crop. Millet has made
good growth and Is quite generally re-
ported heavy stand; considerable has
been cut. Native grass has improved
very much, haying Is being pushed and
the quality and yield very good. Along
the river flats it is the heaviest for
years.

assessment of $3.50 mile on the fran
chise, something that has not been
considered before in the valuation Of
personal property of roads. There are
2,5O7 miles of road in the state and the
total increase in valuation is 1925, 900.
The railroads fought hard for the same
valuation as last year, which was high
err by 100000 than that of the pre-
vious year, but the board decided that
a tax on franchise was just and should
be made. This raises the total valu-
alton of all railroad property in the
state for purposes of taxation to S.
500, 900. The Great Northern road gets
the greatest increase, as it's mileage in
the state is greater than that Of any
other road. The Northern Pacific and
Northwestern roads have protested
against the raise on franchise.

WILLIAM WILL MOVE.
ROcl<efeIIer's TarrytOwn Property
Is on the Market.

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-Because Of
what he considered excessive assess
ment by the authorities of Mt. Pleas
ant township, in which his Tarrytown
property is loctaed, William Rookie
Teller has placed the property on the
market. He sold his summer place at
Greenwich. Conn, about eight years
ago, on account of what he claims was
excessive taxation, and is now said to
be looking toward Newport as a re-
treat from taxation. Mr.. Rockefeller
is now in Europe. He sailed on June
80, and a real estate agent of larry
town. who has been acting for Mr.
Rockefeller in -contesting the assess
ment value of his property a year ago,
now announces that before sailing, Mr..
Rockefeller authorized the sale of his
property for $S50,000. The assessed
valuation is 1888, $685. That of year
ago was $1,100000. The purchase price
was $125,000. and the improvements
have cost about $S50,O00.

FATAL WEDDING FROLIC.
Four People SuTOcated by IA Fire at
Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI. O., Aug. 5.-Four peo-
pie were burned to death about 3
o'clock this morning in a two-story
frame dwelling consumed by fire on
Elm street, opposite Charles street.
During the fire a gasoline stove eX-
ploded. The names of the victims are:
Ezra Rouse, Arthur Guth, Nellie Ben
nett and Roy Carr. Otto Adler kept
an all night restaurant in the lower
story of the house.
There were seventeen men and
women in one room in the second
story. None of the dead were burned,
they were suffocated by smoke from
the fire in adjacent rooms. The only
exit for escape was blocked by a bath
tub, set up on end at the head of the
stairway. The smoke came from an
adjacent room, where the fire was
soon eXtinguished. 1t seems that it
was wedding frOlic in which Guth,
one of the dead men, was the bride
groom, and the daughter of Landlord
Adler was the bride. The celebrants
of the wedding used beer and cigar
cites very freely, and it is supposed
cigarettes started the fire, and that
the beer caused the somnolence which,
with the appended bath tub were in
direct causes of so much fatality
While four out of the seventeen in the
room were suffocated fatally, the other
thirteen suffered but slightly.

1t is true, no doubt, that the tariff was not
the principal question m issue during the
campaign, but it is equally true that the cleo
lions Of 1894 were an emphatic vote of con-
wish to have tariff legislation framed by the
Republican party.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
The same reasons existed in 1896 that OPP
Grated to give the majorities of 1894, and still
the former was carried by the votes of
300 coo anti-protection Democrats. Had that
been the sole, dominating issue in 1896 the
vote would have been IAN emphatic vote'
of want of confidence in protection"
