The Albini Co. coming. Big
show. March "a.
The Eau Claire Leader has this
to say about the company:
The Albinl company gave their
last two performances in this city
today with matinee and evening
performance. The company will
be we'll remem bered here as one
of the best speciality companies
that has ever appeared In this city.
Miss Nellie McGuire is certain
" a wonderful character-chang
artist; the numerous characters
that she impersonates are very
clever, and she deserves all the ap-
plause that is bestowed upon her
at each performance. Master
Harry Waller, the wonderful boy
Sandow, is without doubt mar
vel and is worth any persons dol
lar to witness his performance,
as he is really a worlds wonder.
The Dawsons, as we said before,
are clever and funny team.
Miss Mamie Castle is very
pretty young lady and one that
can render a song in catchy
way. Frank O'Neill is a second
Emmett, as a Dutchman, while
Mulligan and Flynn are a credit
as Irish iokers. Geo. Gardner is
also very funny as a blackface
comedian, and the wonderful bar
rel and ladder act of Ferris and
Travenion is a big success, and
Albini, the magician, yerybody
knows he's all right.

GOLD BRICK IN DISGUISE.
zens to n steamer Proves Only
of Pewter.

1t has been discovered that a once
magnificent testimonial which was pre-
scented by the citizens of Baton Rouge
TO the steamer City of Baton Rouge,
nearly 20 years ago, is nothing but a
gold brick, reports the st. Louis Repub-
lie. Recently the assets of the st. Louis
and Anchor line were sold at auction.
Among the goods was what appeared to
be silver water pitcher, on which was
considerable handsome engraving
showing that it had been presented TO
the steamer by the citizens of the town
after which the boat was named. Short
~ before the sale commenced an old river
pilot told story about the pitcher
that caused spirited bidding when it
was offered for sale. The pilots story
was that los citizens of Baton Rouge
had each contributed a silver dollar TO
he melted down and made into the tes-
timonial. At the auction sale all the
spectators figured on getting this
S16S worth of silver very cheaply. The
price was soon run up to $40, and il was
knocked down to a well-known specu-
lator. Soon after the sale the owner of
the pitcher discovered that the prize
was made of common pewter and was
worth about 81.

ANCIENT POLITICAL "RINGS."
MonOpolists Flourished Centuries
Ago I'm Rome and Egypt nv
They DO To-day.

The evil of monopolies and rings
was known TO the ancients, Aristotle,
referring to them in his Politics" and
then, as now, it was found necessary TO
hold them in check by legislation. The
monopolist was in Roman law called a
Dardanarius, and published under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia, says London
Answers. Monopolies of clothing, fish
and all articles of food were prohibited
by Emperor Zeno under pain of con-
fiscation and exile; so that il is certain
that the rings" of the ancient days
were rs mischievous as those of to-day.
At Athens a law limited the amount of
corn a man might buy. The earliest
recorded instance we have was a corn
"ring."
There is an ancient tradition that
the king who made Joseph his prime
minister and committed into his hands
the entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the shep-
herd kings and ruled over the whole
of Egypt, as Joseph's Pharaoh seems
70 have done. The prime minister, dur
ing seven years Of remarkable plenty,
bought up every bushel of corn beyond
the absolute needs of the Egyptians
and stored ii. During the terrible fam
inc that followed, he was sure to get
his own price, and bartered corn sue
cessfully for the Egyptians money,
cattle and lands, and taking one-ffth
for Pharaoh, made him supremely
wealthy. It was not merely n provident
act, but n very polite one, his policy be-
ing to centralize power in the mon
arch's hands.

Cause of the Outbreaks.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 6.-The trouble
with the Bear Lake Indians, a branch
of the Leech Lake tribe, originated
about eight months ago when an at
tempt was made by Deputy Marshal
Warren, Of White Earth, to arrest the
chief Of the Bear Lakes, husky man
of 40 years, known as Bush Ear. He
is the head of the widest set of Indians
in Minnesota, about 300 in number,
who live on an island in Leech lake,
30 miles north of Walker, Cass county.
Bush Ear and nine of his tribesmen
were wanted for resisting an officer of
the United States government. Three
or four of the aborigines were wanted
for the illicit sale of whisky and the
others were wanted as witnesses
against them.
