"SOUTH BEFORE THE WAR"
The Passion Play Il Said to Ne the
Greatest Novelty Ever Produced.

The Passion Play IL Said to Ne the
Greatest Novelty Ever Produced.
One of the Eastern newspapers writes
as follows concerning the 'South Before
the War" company. which appears at
the Margaret tonight n tomorrow
night:
"The South Before the War" one of
last years successes. appeared at the
Winnipeg theater last evening before a
crowded house. The would-be audience
was so large that somewhere in the
n~eighborhood of 400 people were turned
away from the doors. The play is prac-
tically the same as that of last season.
with n difference that all the songs
and dances are of the latest and mucn
up,to-date type, and not one number
failed to make a hit. The performance
opens with a beautiful series Of moving
pictures. representing the Passion Play
as performed on by h ~peasantry in
Austria. This part of the programme
was worthy of the great appreciation
with which II was received.
Following this is a cotton field scene,
in which some of those DC negro melo-
dies so dear to the hearts of all are in
troduced with capital effect. Next on
the programme is an olio of vaudeville
numbers. all frst-class in their own par
ticular line scene on the levee, introduce
ing darkey songs, choruses and buck
n wing dances created roars of laugh
ter and half an hour of genuine enter
tainment. and evoked round after round
of applause. The contortionist work Of
the human frog Is simply wonderful,
and suggests to ones mind a rubber
man. Two male and one female quar-
tette, all of which were Justify encored,
brought the musical programme to an
end. The voices of the ~vocalists were
always in perfect harmony and the bass
solo, II am king over land and sea-"
was a gem. The cake-walk was a fetch
ing number. and after a close contest.
h verdict went to a pair who used
the Union Jack as a feature OF their
performance. The grand patriotic finale,
the sentiment Of which was on the lines
Of the Anglo-American alliance, was re-
cefved with a wild tumult of cheering
and brought to a conclusion as clean
and bright a performance as will be
seer in this city this season."
The seats are now on sale at the usu-
al place.
There will be a parade to-day, which
will include the entire company. and the
Picaninny band OF II pieces. The par
ade Will take place at noon to-day, II
the weather is not too bad, and the in
dications are that IL will be fair. There
will be a matinee Wednesday afternoon
at which h Passion Play" will be Civ
in Its entirety. IS views being shown.

1 to San Francisco.

The football season will open in Ana
conda Tuesday, Oct. IS, when the
strong Deadwood. s. D., team will line
up against the local eleven. The Dead
wood team will play in Butte Sunday,
Oct. Is, and here w days later. The
Dakota aggregation is said to be the
strongest team playing west of Chi
cago this year. and as Butte and Ana
conda ave both strengthened their
teams, SOM good football may be ex-
pected.
The expense of bringing a team so
FAR Is very great. and a good attend
Is necessary for the local team TO
come out even. A strong effort will be
made to have the stores close on the
DAY or the game for a short time so
that all may have an opportunity to
see the contest. The game will b
called early in order to give those on
night shift a chance to attend.

pense In getting together a very strong

team In an old experienced player.
They also have the weight and expe-
rience and will put a very fast and
tricky game. The Deadwood boys de-
clare they Will lower the colors of both
the Butte and Anaconda cams.
The Deadwood line is perhaps the
heaviest ever brought together in Mon
tana. The following will give an idea
of Its strength: c. Murphy. their CEN
ter man. tips the scales at 2l2: William
Keller. left guard, 22S: p. Russell, right
guard, PIG: w. ID. Parker and NJ. Done

and Greenley, ends. 1S6 and 19l each:
The backs are also heavy men. Nil
son. their full back. weighs 200 pounds.
and Is said to be one of the best full
backs of the season. He formerly
played with the Cornell university of
New York.
More thar 20 men have signified their
intention OF coming out to practice for
h home team. The Anaconda team
will be about the same as tina which
defeated Butte last spring. with the
exception Of Pete Smith. Barney Fitz-
patrick. who has been visiting friends
in the East. is expected back in time
for the Deadwood game. He is the My
absent member now.
The team hat lines up against the
Deadwood eleven will probably be the
one that will represent this city at San
Francisco on Christmas and New
games will be played with the Olym-
pics. 1t is being talked about that a
big excursion will be arranged and al
ready nearly 100 people have signifed
their willingness to accompany the
team to the coast. The My obstacle
that lies In the way of a monster foot
ball excursion. including special train,
special sleeping and dining room serv-
fee and the like is the fact that the
railroads may find IL impossible to
make a good rate. II is the talk, how

trip can be secured. and some say that
q rate Of $35 for the round trip can be
