The popular success achieved by An
thony Hopes romantic comedy, THE
Adventures of Lady Ursula, 2 nowbeing
produced by Mr. William Morris, sup
ported by Miss Frances Drake and
Competent cast, is an encouraging in
cident and will prove a dramatic treat
of undoubted significance when Wheel
ing people will be given an opportunity
to judge of the intrinsic worth of the
great Lyceum Theater success, at the
Opera House Saturday matinee and
night. Public acceptance is formed for
a play of exceptional literary merit, ap-
pealing to the intellectual faculties,
rather than to the emotional. and sub
shutting the force of nimble wit for
the clash and flash of sword play.
The roles Of Sir George Sylverter and
Lady Ursula are evenly balanced Mr..
Morris gives character well differen-
tiated from anything he has yet APP
peared in, not excepting his starring
tour in Under the Red Robe" and
"The Lost Paradise" and Miss Drake
as Lady Ursula has made one Of the
greatest successes of her career.

George Hastings Passed Away at
His Home ON the South Side Last
Night.
George Hastings, one of the oldest
rollers in the city, died at the residence
Of his brother, Soloman Hastings, on
South Jacob street, last evening at
S:45 O'Clock. Mr., Hastings was ill of
what is thought to have been Brights
kidney disease for almost three weeks,
but was not thought to be in serious
condition until short while before his
death. He was well known and highly
respected. He was employed as a roll
er at the Belmont, Top and Mingo
mills at various times, and was con-
sidered as quite an efficient workman.
Deceased was fifty-seven years old and
was unmarried. The arrangements
for the funeral will probably be made
later. A post mortem examination
will be held over the remains to-day
at the request of his relatives.

Early yesterday morning burglars
are reported to have made an attempt
to enter the residence of A. D. Palmer,
near the McMechen cemetery. In en-
deavoring to hoist window at the
rear of the building the men made con-
siderable noice, which aroused the
members of the household. Mr. Pal
mer and his two sons Immediately
secured a shot gun and two reviewers
and started after the men.
When Mr.. Palmer and his two sons
got down stairs the would-be robbers
had the window raised as high as 1t
would go and we're in the act of jump
ing through. One of the men inside
made a noise accidentally and the in
truders fed, but fusilade of gun shots
were sent in their direction. There
were twelve shots fired from the two
revolvers and shot gun. 1t is not
known that any of the shots took erect,
but it is considered that the men had
very narrow escape. Yesterday
morning a suspicious looking man was
seen going through the town, and 1t is
thought that he may have been party
in the attempt at burglary. He wore
a pair of muddy trousers and miners
cap with bullet hole in it. However,
he succeeded in getting away before
the authorities were aware of his pres
ence
It was reported that a house had
been entered Saturday night and
small amount of cash taken, but the
report could not be verified last night.

THE RE-VALUATION
OF Real Estate in Ohio County is
Almost Completed.

Of Real Estate in Ohio County is
Almost Completed.
The re-appraisement of real estate in
Ohio county for purposes of taxation,
under an act of the last Legislature,
has been almost completed. This is
done every ten years, and the last re-
valuation was made in 1889.
Mr.. Helmbright has turned his books
into the hands OF County Clerk Reb-
ertson, and they are safely locked up
in the vaults. The figures will not be
divulged until all the districts are in.
Richie, Richland, Triadelphia and Lib
erty, have not yet been returned, al
though the work should have been
completed by January list. 1t is under
stood that very substantial increase
is shown in the valuation of real es-
tate in the county, in the aggregate.

The Standing room only sign was
out at the Grand Opera House last
night, when the Van Dyke and Eaton
company opened an engagement of a
solid week in repertoire at popular
prices, presenting as the opening bill
the sterling melodrama, when Friends
Are Foes" The audience was well
pleased with both play and company,
and also with the animated pictures
and the singing and dancing specialties
which made the performance continu-
GUS. The same bill will be repeated
this afternoon, and tonight the COM
pany will present Across the Trail"
one of the strongest plays in its extern

FEDERATION OF CHURCHES
Held Il Meeting Yesterday After.
noen-Ministers VIII Not Talk.

The Federation of Churches held an
interesting meeting yesterday afternoon at
the Y M. C. A. 1t was expected that an
authorized statement of the proceedings
and the plans of the clergymen, would be
given, but the ministers maintained the
same reticence as they have regarding
former meetings.
One member of the Federation said to
a Register reporter: THE papers have
been guessing widely in their statements
that we are contemplating independent
political action, and that we are en-
deavoring to induce men to consent to be
candidates. We are not contemplating any
political action at this time. That is all
wrong"
"Will you say what your plans are?"
queried the reporter.
NO. dot feel at liberty to say We
have been coducting our meetings quietly,
and whatever action we have taken will
develop in due time

The appointing of former Presi-
dent Dole of Hawaii as governor of
the island since it has become an ISL
and possession of the United States
by President Mckinley will meet
with general public appreciation all
over the United States, without re-
gard to section or party. Governor
Dole will be able to start the new
government off in a proper condition
and once started properly it will be
an easy matter to continue it in such.
Ii he does not thoroughly under
stand the needs of the island, then
no one does, and his past record
demonstrates that he is man of
worth and reliance, to the extent
that the president can place implicit
confidence in his recommendations.
This island is overrun with Japs,
Cinnamon and other kinds of for
eigners, and trouble that might in
volve this country in a foreign war
at any moment might ensue did not
the island have just such a man as
Governor Dole at its head. His APP
pointment will be warmly received
all over the country.

UNIVERSITY
POLITICS
Rival Candidates for Offices In
Student Assembly and Editor
of Pacific Wave Causing a
Lively Contest Among the
Students.

Politics at the university are grow
ing more interesting each day as the
time approaches to elect the officers
Of the Student Assembly, the editor
and manager of the college paper.
1t is claimed, and apparently on good
grounds, that combination has been
formed between certain members of
the Junior class to rule the roost.
This has reused the ire of some of
the Freshmen and Sophomores, and
they are now cooperating with some
of the ablest politicians in the uni
versity with the hope of beating the
slate of the combine. Elections will
be held the 18th of May, and if the
interest continues in it till then, the
entire student body will be divided
on the respective candidates and is
sues.

The people of this state can warm
ly sympathize with the citizens of
Utah in its recent mine disaster. At
Pleasant Valley, Utah, an explosion
occurred in a coal mine, whereby
some 800 or more miners lost their
lives The men were overcome by
the black damp that followed the
explosion. In years past Washing
ton state has had some horrible ex-
plosiOns, but none 50 extensive as
the one reported from Utah. The
Roslyn explosion some years ago was
the largest ever in this state, and but
fOrty-two miners lost their lives in
that accident. The next largest was
in Franklin, when some thirty-seven
miners lost their lives. There have
been more or less smaller explosions
from time to time, where miners have
lost their lives in small numbers, but
the 800 number from Utah is the
most appalling mine horror that has
ever been reported in the Northwest
or any place west of the Missouri
river, in the history Of the country

nia1 at Chicago-Rapid Growth
of the Organization Phenome-
na1-Brief History of It.

There assembled at Chicago last
Wednesday, May I'd, the Twenty
third Delegated General Conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church
of the United States. This is the
leading branch of Methodism from
a numerical as well as financial
standpoint, of the world, and its
growth since its first introduction in
the United States has been phe-
nomenal. Notwithstanding the fact
that numerous factions have from
time to time broken off from it, the
church today stands front and fore
most of all religious bodies in pretty
nearly every respect. Here is brief
review of the quadriennial assem-
blages since its first organization, as
shown by the church's late year
book:

The various musical clubs of the
university contemplate making a
concert tour in the near future. The
Glee and Mandolin clubs will 90 to-
gether upon this trip, under the ef-
ficient management of Messrs. Kel-
logg and Mcdonald. The first ap-
pearance of the clubs before the
footlights will be in Ranke hall May
the 8th. Much will depend upon the
reception which is given the students
at this initial performance, as to the
distance from town they will 60. If
everything looks promising at Ranke
hall, the clubs will very likely move
upon Everett or Snohomish next.
On the other hand, if the boys are
warmly received, they may go so far
from town that they will be compell-
ed to walk back home.

The San Francisco Chronicle in
giving the account Of the great flood
disaster in Texas, has the following
to say of colored hero:
GA few miles this side of the little
town Of Webberville lived a colored
man named John Fredley with his
family, wife and four children.
Fredley was on top of a high hill
looking for stray live stock when his
attention was attracted by an omin-
Gus roar that proceeded from the
west. He looked up the valley and
saw at a distance of about five miles
the mountain Of water coming to-
ward him. The spray of maddened
waters showered like diamonds in the
sunshine. Fredley realized instant
ly the nature Of the disaster, and
with great bounds hurried to his lit
tie cabin, a few hundred yards below
him, and got his family on the
helghts. Without waiting to save
any personal belongings, he mounted
a horse and rode off at full speed
down the valley before the death
dealing waters.
''The dam has broken loose; the
flood is coming! Save yourselvesr'
was the burden Of his cries. The
warning was needed by the people
along the route. The colored mes
senger rode through the town of
Webberville, and his cries were taken
up by others, and in this manner the
settlers Of that part of the valley
were warned in time to save their
lives. This dark-skinned old hero
rode ahead of the foow for many
miles, sounding his warming cries,
and finally, when he saw his horse
could not go any further, he turned
the animal toward the highlands
and had hardly reached place of
safety when the animal dropped dead
from exhaustion"

Certain contributors to the Pacific
Wave have lately undertook to vent
and at such rate the present limit
ed number cannot last long. All the
cal contest. Many think that such
was rather unwise and that if a stu
dent in contest is criticised at all
it should be in a manly and honor
able way, and not in such fashion
that it would give an outsider the
impression of snarling. This rule
might be applied with particular
force to Mr.. J. NJ. Latimer, Of the
law department. Mr.. Latimer's ap-
pearance in the local oratorical was
the first time any of the law students
of the university had taken part in
anything Of that kind and all who
heard him know that there was moth
ing crude about his manner and that
he spoke with much natural elo-
quence.

Conflicting reports from South
Africa continue to pour in every day;
so much so that it is hard to draw
any definite idea as to what the Bulls
and Beers are really doing down
there. One days report will declare
that the Bulls have walk away,
while the next days will declare that
the Beers are dead on to their jobs,
and that they will succeed in event
ually defeating the Bulls. One thing
all seem to agree on, and that is,
there has been fierce fighting going
on down there for the past month,
and that the Bobs are struggling to
make it warm for Dom Paul and his
followers. Another thing all seem
tC agree on is that after months of
hard fighting the Bulls have made
no progress at all toward entering
the Transvaal country, all fighting
still being done on British soil and
for the relief of British towns. Our
congress refused one day this week
to pass resolutions of sympathy for
the Beers, on the grounds that it rep
resents a neutral nation.
