DARBY GRAHAM ISN'T SUPERSTI-
TIOUS, BUT HE HAS SOME
THING TO THINK ABOUT.
EXPERIENCE AT ALEXANDRIA
BILE AND THE CLOSING OFF
THE THEATER.
NOW CASH REGISTER IS STOLEN.
Thieves Break Into the Old Olympic
and Carry Off n 'Damper"
Weighing 175 Pounds.

Darby Graham isn't superstitious
If he were he says he would come to
the conclusion that the Alhambra
theatre is hoodooed. Mr.. Graham is
the manager Of the renamed play
house on Seventh street. The house is
dark this week because the engage
ment of King Alcohol was cancelled
some days ago when the application
for transfer of liquor license was
withdrawn. A new application is OH
file and until 1t has been decided
whether Bacchus is to be allowed to
appear at the theatre the management
decided to keep the place dark. The
locks were turned in the doors and the
performers given chance to rest up.
Yesterday Mr.. Graham paid a visit to
the theatre to see if it were all there
1t wasn't.
What do you think of that?" said
he when he returned to the street Then
the policeman. to whom he addressed
the remark waited. why somebody
broke in last night and stole the cash
register" Then Mr.. Graham and the
officer returned and sure enough it
was gone and the back door showed
how the thieves had broken ill.,
Now if [ were superstitiOus," said
Graham to the policeman, Il would
think the house was hoodooed. First
we have Rev. David Morgan after US,
then that girl falls from the trapeze,
then we have to close the house and
now somebody is coming around to
steal what is left"
Il am not a bit superstitious," con-
tinued Graham, but the other night
the man on the door counted UP his
tickets and found there was just $13
i'll the house. Thirteen, mind you. He
sent one of the walters out to buy an
other ticket right off to break the
thirteen, but it didn't seem to do any
good for the next day we closed the
house"
Yes, if / were superstitiOus I would
think there was something wrong. The
other night | went into the theatre with
a gentleman and when we sat down L
told one of the walters to bring a pro-
gramme. I noticed that my friend
Looked rather amused when he got the
bill and | wondered what it was about.
Pretty soon l got hold Of the pro-
SGdHline ana IneTe III great Dig letters,

might have taken or other things. But
cash register that weighs 175 pounds.
They couldn't cary it. And they can
not use it because any man who wants
a cash register would go and buy one
rather than steal it. To a superstiti-
Gus man it would certainly seem as if
the place is hOodooed. The Salvation
Army wants the place. 1 believe, for
Sunday evening, and l think if they
wanted it for a week l would let them
have it. 1t may break the hoodOO"
The register was valued at $3.50. Mr.
Graham went to the company from
whom it had been loaned, thinking the
concern might have sent over and got
ten it. but found that such was not
the case. The patrolman reported the
burglary to headquarters.

CUTTING DOWN SALARIES.
Bills Efecting All County Auditors
and Treasurers.

Representative Heimerdinger, chair
man of the joint committee on salaries,
appointed some time ago, introduced
two bills for the purpose of reducing
the salaries Of county auditors and
treasurers. The first CH. F. SID pro-
vides that in counties where the
amount of taxable property does not
exceed $1,000 they shall receive $500 for
their personal service for one year.
Then follows a graduated increase in
proportion to the increase in popula-
ton. H F. Sc provides that the coun-
ty treasurer shall receive for his serv-
ices one-half Of l per cent of the mon
eys handled in counties where the as
Sessed valuation does not exceed ST.

WOMAN THE CAUSE,
William Demar Says That's Why He
Is Now Laid Up.

William De Mar, the man who was
assaulted by John Mixers in Peyer
tin5hop at 514 Rice street about two
weeks ago, is still under the care Of a
physician, and is recovering very slow
ly from the effects of his injuries. At
the time that the assault was COM
mitted it was supposed that the trouble
was caused by dispute over the pos
session Of a newspaper, but De Mar
claims that this was not the case.
When seen yesterday, ne said that tho
real cause was q woman who Is en-
ployed in a boarding house on Selby
avenue De Mar claims that Mixers
and this woman had been friends, but
had had some trouble, and that Mil
kers had made several remarks about
the woman. These remarks brought
about more talk, in which De Mar was
implicated, and bad feeling was
aroused between the two men. There
had been threats Of vengeance on the
part of Mixers, so De Mar claims, and
the dispute over the paper gave him
the chance to even the score. De Mar
claims that he was an innocent party
to the whole affair, and says that 1t is
his intention to prosecute Mixers, in
the event that the police succeed in
finding him

COMING CYCLE SHOW
Expected to Attract Excursion Par
ties From Various Points.

ties From Various Points.
A mark of interest in the coming cy-
Gle show at the Exposition building,
Minneapolis, opening on April 10, is
found in the announcemen from Vari
Gus localities in the Northwest that ex-
cCrsiOn parties will be formed to visit
the show. and the management will
make every effort to secure rates for
parties exceeding twenty in number
which may desire to come to the big
show from points in Iowa and North
and South Dakota. The wide adver-
tisement that has been given the greac
wheeling exposition of 1897 has at
tracted attention all over the country
and there will be much larger numbers
of people on hand from suburban dis
tricts than was the case last year. The
reason is that up to the time that the
1856 show was held, only the VagueSt
ideas of what cycle show meant were
entertained outside of the large cities.
All this is changed now. Everybody
in no matter what portion of the North
west, understands that a cycle show is
a general exhibition of improved wheel
ing machines, whether there be four
wheels or two or only one to the vehi-
cleS exhibited.

Another Rambusch Fraud.

What is supposed to be one of the
last fraudulent acts of the late w. I.
Rambusch, of Juneau, has just come
to light. George Wittig, a resident
of the town of Herman, received a
letter from Attorney Woodland, of
Watertown, stating that the interest
on mortgage which he had in his
possession upon Mr.. Wittig's farm
was due. This was complete sur
prise to Mr.. Wittig, as he had pur-
chased the farm of Martin Schultz
about three years ago with no encum-
brance on it at the time. As Ram
busch died October 20, 1896, it is sup
posed to have been placed on record
shortly before that date, and this was
to be the first payment of the interest.
