COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

The James-Kidd er-Warde revival of
Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comedy, 1.-THE
School for Scandal" is an engagement of
considerable Importance. The enterpris-
ing managers Messrs. Wagenhals and
Kemper, have had the artistic shrewdness
to foresee that a great cast in this great
comedy would prove one of the most
profitable and pleasurable productions that
could at present be offered to the public.
With the exception of the Daly-Rehan
presentations, the piece has been of late
years left in comparative obscurity. Per-
haps the necessity of an exceptional cast
for its Interpretation and the demand for
elaborate scenery and accessories and cos
tunes has frightened the timid. All of
which emphasizes how rare stroke is the

TOSSED BY A CARIBOU.
Klondiker Caught on the Antlers of
the Animal in a Wind Storm.

Seattle, Dec. 2O.-One of the recent ar
rivals from the Alaskan mining field,
Mr.. r. J. Munson, of New York city,
who stopped in Seattle for a time be-
fore starting for his eastern home, in
company with another prospectOr had a
thrilling experience while in the wilds
of that northern Ell Dorado, which, as he
earnestly said, would last a lifetime"
Their adventure can best be told in
his own story, which was as follows:
I'VE had finished our cabin and pIac-
ed our outfits in good condition to with
stand the terrible Yukon winter which
we expected to face. So far the wealth.
ed had been very nice, taking a Yu-
kOner'S standpoint for a guide, and we
determined to try for some of the large
game which we had been told could be
found through the winter in plenty
along the upper tributaries of the Yu-
kon.
1T was along toward the last Of No
vember, to be precise, when we made
start. Both of US were well armed with
Winchester repeating rifles and expect
ed to have no trouble in bagging our
game. About 10 o'clock saw US on the
road. Two hours afterward we were
making our way across one of the
many gUllieS met with in that country.
Directly ahead was a small clump Of
scrubby apologies for trees. Still we
did not imagine the danger lurking
near. Crossing the ravine we met
fierce gust of wind, causing US to make
a run for the trees mentioned before.
Dashing heller SHELTER behind the poor
protection which they anOrQeQ from the
wind, with our hats drawn close over
our eyes and faces, you can imagine
the feelings which startled us, to gaze
upon two mOnstrOus caribou, already
occupying the small space afforded by
the tree.

out struggle, but to make things inter

Taking my companion with a toss Of
his head, he put him out of the game
for some time. I fired twice point blank
al the animal, but did not stop him,
then took to my heels around the clump
of trees. With vengeance in his eye he

''It was fully two hours before a little

TORTURE BY INDIANS.
They Burn Out Victims Eyes to Cure
Others of Illness.

Seattle, Dec. 2O.-Witchcraft among
the Indians Of southeastern Alaska is to
be done away with. The edict has gone
forth from the powers at Washington.
and Judge Johnson, with the assistance
of a federal grand jury, is trying to car
ry out his instructions.
The court is being held at Juneau and
the jail is full of Indians who are ac-
cused of several brutal murders, all of
which can be directly traced to witch
craft. The doctor chiefs of the several
tribes from Dyea to Wrangel are really
responsible.
It has been through the death of pa
tients treated by them that other mem
bers of the tribes have been condemned
as being in league with the devil.
Consumption has made great ravages
in the Indian camps during the past
few months, consequently the number
of witches and accompanying murders
has increased.
An Indian on taking i'll sends for the
medicine man. If the latter is not sue
cessful in effecting a cure he inmedi-
ately says that the patient is bewitched.
The relatives assemble at the hut of the
sick man and decide on q member OF
the tribe who is to be held to be the
witch. The medical man may or may
not point out the unfortunate.
One is always found, and promptly
imprisoned. often to effect a. cure he
is terribly tortured. Burning out the
eyes of the victim with a red-hot iron
is a favorite mode Of punishment. Be
fore the patient dies of this or some
other punishment equally cruel, if this
does not effect a cure and the patient
dies. the alleged witch is slowly put to
death Usually his internal organs are
burned out, for the death must be slow
and painful

HUTCHINSON HOPEFUL.
Has Nearly Sufficient signers to Call
Waterworks Election.

Hutchinson, Dec. 2O.-The Commercial
club has completed the work Of count
ing the tax payers of the city and finds
that the petitions calling for a special
election to vote bonds for water works
and electric lights are 100 names short
of the required number, two-f1fths. The
petitions will be circulated again the
first of next week. Those in charge of
the work anticipate no trouble what
ever in finding ready signers. The re-
cent storm delayed the work several
days, or the petitions would have been

mayor Mayor Brown is becoming eager
to call the election. and feels confident
that the proposition will carry by an
overwhelming majority.
John T. Stewart, chairman of the
committee appointed by the Commercial

lists for the sale of the bonds, has re-
ceived several letters which justify the
prediction that the city will have no

While the jury was out she walked

Mrs. Hartman figured in another
escapade of this character which had
a terrible sequel. A year ago, when
single, she was arrested, charged with
stealing a Collarette worth $40. On the

a salesman, made love to her in the fur

jury acquitted her. Boyer was an ex-
