Heaviest in History.

Spokane, Jan. 2-During the last two
days Spokane has experienced the heav-
lest snow in its history. Since yesterday
morning Is inches have fallen, making II
inches on the ground. Because of strong
east wind the snow has drifted and street
car lines have had difficulty in keeping
their lines open. In places the snow has
drifted to depth of five feet. All rail-
road trains running through the city save
the Occur d Alene branch of the Northern
Pacific have run approximately on time
by the aid of many snow plows. The
Occur d'Alene branch train out of here
was delayed five hours because a snow
Pow could not be spared to clear the
way. The snow in Eastern Washington
is the heaviest within a radius of % miles
of Spokane.

At the concl,ision of bis reoita+;on

At the conclusion of his recitation,
The Battle of Fontenoy," Mr.. Ma
suire was called on for a speech. He
told his friends that he appreciated
their kindness and friendship, but that
there were no words in which he could
express what he felt. He said that
during his career as an actor he had
visited many cities and countries, but
that there was but one spot on earth
for him, and that was Butte, the big
gest little town in the world. and here
he wished to spend his remaining days,
and wished his bones to rest here final
ly. Mr.. Mcguire paid a nice tribute to
James A. Murray, the owner of the
opera house and his friend, a generous,
whole-souled man who had proved him
self friend always. He also paid a
tribute to Mr.. Bandmann as an actor and
friend, and Mr.. Bandmann was COM
PEELED to step upon the stage and ac-
knowledge the applause.
MI. Bandmann said that While refer
ence had been made to his career as
an actor, he was also glad to say that
he was proud to be known as a Mon
tana rancher.
Everything passed off well, and it was
a good show" In proof of that there
was more evidence than that shown by
the merits of the performance and the
testimony of the audience. A man call
ed at the box office yesterday after
noon and asked for some tickets.
What time does the performance be-
gin?' he asked, with a sort of a Christ
mas and New Years lingering to his
voice. ESD OH. ,. cd.
AT $50 O'Clock"
What kind of a show is it, anyway?"
'Maguire's benefit" said the young
man in the box office
'Maguire's benefit? Well, that's
good show. | saw it in St. Paul, and
want to see it again."
Mr.. Mcguire has decided to give a
matinee this afternoon for the benefit
OF the ladies and his numerous friends
in Butte-the little children. He wants
all the children to come out and see him
again. He is going to give another dis
tribution of toys, probably the last time
he will have an opportunity to remem-
Der the little ones in that way.
The last performance will be given
tonight, when there will be a consider
able change in the programme.

RESULTED IN A FIGHT.
Strikers on Night Gang Attacked the
Day Laborers.


Day Laborers.
Omaha, Jan. "A Bee special from Ash
land, Neb, says: This morning when
the men began work at Armour & Co. s
ice house, 6S laborers, mostly from Mem
pills. who were employed on the night
force, asked for an increase in wages of
2R cents per hour. Their demands were
refused and they went on strike. At a
meeting of the laborers last night the men
on the night force agreed to ask for an
increase, but the day gang, composed of
men living in the vicinity of Ashland
refused to join them. The strikers this
morning tried to persuade the day force
to help tie up the works. Failing in this
they attempted to blockade the works
and prevent work, when a fight ensued
Pike poles were hurled at the strikers
and several men were severely wounded
Several murders may result from the fra
cas-, as a man from Lincoln had his head
torn open and is reported to be in a dying
condition. The day men drove the strk-
ers away and they came to this city, most
of them taking the return train for Oma-
ha. Warrants are out for the arrest of
the strikers.

WAS BRUTALITY TORTURED
TERRIBLE CRIMES BY THE ANTI
RUSSIAN PARTY IN COREA.
Vengeance Wreaked on the Dragoman of
the Russian Embassy-Was
Publicly Mutilated.

London, Jan. 3.--The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times says: The
correspondent of the Novoe Vremya at
Seoul, the Corean capital, relates terrible
crimes by the anti-Russian party, who,
since the departure of the Russian finan-
ciers and drill instructors, have wreaked
vengeance by vile deceit and barbarous
cruelty on the Corean dragoman of the
Russian embassy, the official who safe
guarded the removal of the Corean en-
peror to the Russian mission house.
The official, his wife and other Coreans
were mercilessly tortured with view of
compelling them to confess to a false
charge of poisoning the emperor's coffee,
in order to shield the great criminals
who are among the high government Off
Gals. The eX-dragoman was finally bru-
tally executed, mutilated puD.-ely and
made sport of in savage and disgusting
manner. All this, the writer says, oc-
CURED in a country blessed with American
and other Christian ministers. and where
American officials occupy influential po-
sitions in the Corean government

Der Was. Encored--Some -y
Great Hits Made. a. .

The first performance of John Ma
CURES benefit in Butte was a splendid
success. Every seat in the house was
filled and the audience was composed of
friends of Mr.. Mcguire and lovers of a
good entertainment, The programme
was not too long, but was strung out
unnecessarily, SO that it was near mid
might when the performance was con-
cluded. Daniel E. Bandmann, the
eminent tragedian, and Mrs. Band
mann, of course, We're the principal
features on the programme They first
presented scenes from, Hamlet" and
then Macbeth" Neither scenes We're
ever better done. and nothing to ap-
proach them had ever been seen on the
stage of the Grand before. The solilo-
guy of Hamlet by Mr.. Bandmann was
especially grand. Mr.. and Mrs. Band
mann We're called before the curtain

"Hamlet."
The Butte Mandolin club played sew
eral beautiful selections and made a
handsome appearance on the stage.
They were under the direction of Pro-
lessor Halle of the Butte Conservatory
of Music, and are rapidly becoming
of music.
There were a number of good things
on the programme, including a recita-
tion by Miss May Carlisle, charming
and natural elocutioniSt: a vocal solo
by Mrs. G.. o. Mcfarland. also a new
conner in Butte: a recitation, "Clar-
ence's Dream by John II. Curtis; THE
Battle of Fontenoy," by good "Old
john Mcguire himself; dances by tha
graceful Maggie Kelly, and vocal solo
by Miss Matte Ornstein, one of the
sweetest singers ever heard in Butte
Every number was encored and each
performer gracefully responded. One
of the greatest hits was made by the
Dawson children, Julia and Grace,
daughters of Captain Dawson. , They
not only sing remarkably well, but they
act their parts in a way that always
brings down the house.
One of the most clever trapeZ acts
ever seen was given by Dobell of the
Imperial theater and Billy Woods from
the same. theater, delighted the audi
ence with a beautiful electrical club

through an unfortunate mistake he was
not on hand when the sketch was called

vantage, but made the most of 1t.
