No one denies the genius of Lincoln j.
Carter in devising startling stage illus
ions. He has not pretended to be great
playwright, nor yet has he professed a
desire to elevate the stage. He is a
shrewd individual with an eye to the
main chance. No one knows better than
he the dramatic gage of the masses and
this is proven by the immense profits he
has derived from the tours of his various
plays. Every dollar he possesses was
made by his own plays and he has un-
doubtedly more for box office money
than any manager in America He is
about to forsake the melodramatic field,
or at least to put forth more ambitious
enterprises. The first Of the new order
of plays, "Under the Dome" pretty
comedy drama which comes 10 the Opera
House Central City, Jan. %, is already an
immenSa SupcasS.

A Grand Concert.

The next local event, one which should
be liberally patronized by all classes of
citizens, is that Of the grand concert next
Saturday evening, January 81, 1899, un-
der the auspices of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of st. James M. E. chuch. The
concert will be held in the auditorium
OF that edifice. The musicians from the
school of music Of the University of Den
yer will assist. Miss Musser, soprano, is
a charming vocalist, acquitting herself
in highly creditable manner when she
appeared here about year ago. Mrs.
Ida B. Blakeslee is a mistress of the
piano, with remarkable technique and
power of musical feeling and interpreta-
ton. Prof. Zietz Of Leipsic, Germany,
is fine violinist. Admission for adults,
25 cents; children, 15 cents. The prices
are very low, considering the high char
acter of those taking part in the concert.

Lincoln j. Carter, who is Enown as the
author of several successful melodramas,
The Fast Mail, The Tornado, aud Heart
of Chicago, has scored the biggest kind
of hit with his new play Under The
Dome which comes to the Opera House
next Wednesday, January %.
The action of the play takes the char
acters over broad territory and gives
opportunity for some startling scenic
effects and some very beautiful sets. The
two big sensations of the play are the
ferry boat trip from Jersey City to New
York, and the repoduction of the awful
hurricane at Apia, which proved so de-
structive to the German and American
navies. In addition to these are three
sets showing familiar Washington scenes
and one of the Capitol illuminated. The
play is said to be very strong dramatic
ally.

Denver In 1879.

Mr. John Best has shown The OBsER-

Graphic of January 2, 1879, which con-
tains write-up Of three columns and n
half Of the Queen City Of the Plains,

ment up to that date. 1t also contains
two pages Of picturesque views in and
around Denver from sketches made by
Charles Bohm. The views are eighteen
in number and give the principal build
ings OF the city at that time, as well as
the smelling plant Of the Boston & Col

Argo. The paper is highly priced by its
owner as souvenir Of the city as it was
twenty years ago. Many OF the buildings
have been removed and other much

A SHOOTING scrape.

J.K. Gage, a Denver insurance agent,
who has been making his headquarters
at Georgetown for some time, was shot
by j. X. Burkholder, a hardware mer-
chvnt OF that place last Thursday, for
being too familiar with the latters wife.
Mr.. Burkholder is proprietor of the Eli
oft house, his wife having supervision of
it. The morning of the shooting he
found Gage with his wife in the kitchen
of the house. Both, on seeing the ap-
proach Of Burkholder, started to run.
He opened fire on Gage the first shot
taking effect in his shoulder: the next
struck the thigh, passing through the
rim of the pelvis, and imbedded itself in
the bony part of the cavity. Gage was
still on the retreat and by this time was
out of the house. Burkholder followed
him, firing the rest of the charges in the
revolver at him, but they missed him.
He then ordered Gage to leave and never
show his face around the hotel again.
After the shooting Burkholder went
about his business. A deputy sheriff
finally swore out warrant for his arrest
after dinner, and Burdholder was placed
under $500 bonds. He is well-knoWn all
over the state and is considered well
to do business man.
Gage was found to be fatally wounded.
His wound showing hemorrhage oprob-
ing for the bullet was done.
Gage formerly did business in Central
at times, looking after the interests of
the New York Mutual Life Insurance
Company.
District Attorney Regenitter has
quashed the information against j. *.
Burkholder. That takes the case out
of the courts.
