Only by the exercise of some
cool heads at the opera house last
night what might have proved an
awful calamity was averted.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
harRrOVe Commencement Exercises In
Iterrupted by a Scene Not on Program.


Interrupted by Scene Not on Program.
The commencement exercises of
the Hargrove college began last
night at the opera house.
The large building was filled
with people, the majority of whom
were children and women.
The program was proceeding
smoothly and pleasantly TO all.
One little tot was on the stage
with her dolls, giving them their
first lesson" and to her credit
be it said she never faltered in her
part of the program. Men, women
and children were rushing pell-
nell to the stairway to escape from
the building, but this little one
kept talking to her dolls.
In the back end of the building
are two electric wires for use in
vitascOpe entertainments. The
ends of these two wires are barred
for short distance to make con-
nectiOn with the vitascope machine.
Through almost criminal careless
ness on the part of some one these
wires were allowed to lie around
where anyone could handle them.
Some boys concluded they would
shock" themselves a little and
have some fun. One advanced the
idea touch the ends together and
see them spark" 1t was done in a
second, and the lights went out,
the wires were welded, the fuse on
the wire burned and the smoke be-
gan to fill the house. A fool cried
fire" and confusion reigned,
children screamed, women scream
ed and all rushed for the exit.
Men of cool Judgment saw at
glance there was no danger, but the
scare was on. 1t took some time
TO handle the crowd, bul by an
almost super-human effort of a few,
every one was passed from the
building to the outside without
single casualty.
In a very few minutes the wires
burned out to the inSulator and
We're checked, this at once threw
on all the lights again, and beyond
the smoke in the building all sign
of danger had disappeared.
The majority of the children who
were on the stage found ready
egress by the stairway on the rear.
Professor and Mrs. johnson and
their staff of associates worked he
roically in seeing the little ones out
I.of danger.
On the street the scene was lit
tie less exciting. The shooting Of
pistols, the approach of the fire en-
gine (Which by the way made the
best run in its history the awful
darkness, mothers calling for their
children, children screaming in
terror for their parents, was scene
we care not soon to review.
Of course it was useless to at
tempt to get the people back any
more and the program was uncom-
pleted. The clouds gave evidence
of an approaching storm and in
little while all had returned to their
homes, there to relate their varied
experiences from a cry of fire in a
crowded house.
Professor johnson informs US
that everything is in good shape
for the entertainment tonight and
no one need fear a repetition of last
nights work, as the hanging wires
have been removed and there is
positively no further danger
The program for tonight will
consist of a few unrendered num-
bers of last night and a few of the
numbers on this nights program.

mitfed free tnninht

Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer
of scrofula, which had caused her great

out the statements that Alaska is
likely to produce more gold than
the Canadian Yukon section.
After describing the success in the
Alaskan gold-felds known as the
Forty Mile, Eagle City, Seventy
Mile and Keyuk mining districts,
the Consul wrote: "It is surmised
that Alaska will exceed the Cana
dian Yukon in gold-output in a
few years, if properly developed.
1t covers more gold bearing terri
tory and the gold so far discovered
is evenly distributed, not being in

the adjoining one worthless.

ident Mckinley to investigate and

The First Anniversary.

1t is just year since the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road inaugurated
its celebrated Pioneer Limited passen-
ger train service between Chicago,
Milwaukee, st. Paul and Minneapolis.
This service marked new era in the
railway world in the line of passenger
accommodations. At a cost of a quar-
ter of million dollars that progressive
company furnished the travelling public
in its Pioneer Limited train, comforts
and facilities the best ever produced.
This train has been described many
times in newspapers and magazines,
but should be seen and examined to be
appreciated. In beauty of finish, rich
ness and elegance of furnishing moth.
ing equal to it has ever been attempted
by any other road. The car builders
were nearly a year completing the
Pioneer Limited trains there are two

and the other leaving the Twin Cities
for the East every evening in the year.
and they stand to-day monument to
the builders art No regular passen-

known as the Pioneer Limited F'om
the standpoint of passenger traffic the
past twelve months have been the

of this service is striking illustration
of the fact that the public appreciates

A letter received by a gentleman in

ly resident of Cascade Locks, but is
now at Dawson City, has the following
concerning that place, from which we
have haerd such adiversity of reports:
II will just cay that this country is
very much over-rated, both in regard to
its mineral wealth and also the terrible
cold weather so much. feared by new
corners. With the exception of warm
mitts and moccasins l lave worn the
same kind of clothes that 1 did at the
Locks and suffered no more with the
cold here than there, although it has
been fifty-eight below already, and that

during the winter.
81 staked what has proven to be a
valuable claim on the first of September,
but as 1 did not give up a half.interest
to any one in connection with the official
ring, 1, as well as hundreds of other
Americans, could not get it recorded. To
place 1t in as mild form as possible, ]
