DREW HIS KNIFE.
A Drunken Negro Who Wanted
to Sleep Objected to Being
Disturbed by Policeman.

Bob Harris, who had imbibed a little
too much of the dispensary stock
Monday morning, felt himself yielding
to the drowsy influence of his several
doses" and went out IN search OF a
place where he might lay him down in
peace to sleep. The object of his
search was found in cotton seed house
on the premises of Judge r. f. Sim
mons.
Mr.. Frank Simmons found him there
some ten minutes later, and, wanting
to go into the house, ordered the negro
to leave. Harris, however, liked his
resting place. and refused to obey the
orders of both Frank and Mrs. Sim
mons. A policeman was summoned,
and Mr.. Cy Daniels appeared some
minutes later. Harris still refused to
bulge and drew his knife on the Off
Ger, who had to bring his billy into
play before he could subdue the negro.
The offender was given berth in the
city lookup, where he might sleep un-
disturbed.

ANOTHER RUNAWAY.
Frightened Horse Smashed Sew
eral Vehicles Saturday.

Runaways are getting to be quite
common in Dawson. The last one oc-
Cured Saturday afternoon, and several
smashups were the result.
Mr.. Lavausia Lamar's horse, hitched
to a dray, became frightened near the
intersection of Vine street and Third
avenue and dashed up the latter at
great speed, the driver not being able
to restrain him. When the animal
reached Main street he turned to the
left, still running at a rapid gait, and
it is remarkable that more damage was
not done on account of the crowded
condition of the streets. AS it was,
wagons belonging to Messrs. j. w.
Adams, Bunyan Jordan and John York
were collided with by the runaway
team and considerably damaged. The
horse was stopped at Crouch Bros
stable on Main street. No one was in
iured.

ITEM NIGHTS IN A BARR0OM.p
It viii Be Presented in Dawson by Geo. L.
PaImer's Bic Company.

"Ten Nights in a Bar Room" was
presented at the Lyceum theatre last
evening by Geo. l.. Palmer's big COM
pany. The, piece is familiar to theatre
goers and should be classed in the
Uncle Toms Cabin category. 1t
tells the story of the unhappiness and
tragedies brought on by drunkenness,
and the moral is strong and plain. Hor-
ace Herbert's Joe MORGAN showed the
actor to be possessed of marked histri-
onic power, and he held the sympa-
thies of che audience from first to last.
Simon Slade, as played by j. Jackson,
was a landlord true to life. Little YER
ma Marie as Mary Morgan quite dis
tinguished herself by her ease and nat
uralness. The remainder of the cast
was well balanced, while the high-class
specialties introduced between the acts
would be credit to higher priced at
fractions. "-Elmira, N. Y, Gazette.

ELECTION THE THEME.
Only Campaign Talk Heard in
Dawson the Past Few DAYS.

The customary mode of salution in
Dawson the past few days has been
"How will it 60 ?" No one ever asked
what the indefinite sit" meant; it was
understood. When a man became tired
of hearing campaign talk, the only
remedy was to leave the streets.
The air was full of Bryan and Nc
Kinley, republicanism and democracy,
discussions and predictions. Now that
the election is over the next week or
two will be spent in discussing the re-
suit and the ever p' esent II told you
SOS" will show you the soundness OF
their predictions. After that time,
perhaps, Thanksgiving hunt may be
planned and discussed.

showing is appreciated by the people Of

displays will be sent to the exposition.
II have met with great announcement

tural society and the leading men from
all parts OF the state" said Mr.. Rucker
II find that the people need only 70 be
reminded of the Importance of making
an exhibit and believe that there VIII
be no question as to the result.
''The magnitude Of the exposition may
to a certain extent be appreciated when
II Is understood that one of its purposes
is TO illustrate the progress in art, manu-
features and agriculture. during the past
century, IN all of the states and countries
of the Western hemisphere. 1t will in
struct the visitor by means of the best
object lessons and will tell the story Of
Western progress and civilization. Buff
falo is located near the dense population
of the United States and Canada and,
with It's many attractions including Mag
ara Falls, is well calculated to draw mill
lions of people to the exposition.
Minnesota, q neighbor and linked TO
Buffalo by the lakes, will have marked
advantage over other states In being well
represented at the exposition. A great
proportion of the visitors will be from the
East, the very people that the Northwest
wants as investors and to develop its
resources. Times and conditions have
changed since the worlds fair In Chicago
and, in my opinion. state exhibit at
Buffalo next year will yield far greater
results with much less effort than was
gained by the exhibit made at Chicago
