Going DRAMATIC EVENTS

Both TopelSa's amusement houses viii
be opened tomorrow, New Years day.
The Man of Mystery is at the Craw-
ford Tor both a matinee and night per-
forme.nce and Robert Downing comes to
the Grand in "Ingomar'' at the matinee
and Richard the Lion Hearted" in the
evening. -Ingomar'' needs no introduc-
tion to Topeka theatergoers-
Mr. Downing has surrounded himself
with an exceptionally fine company of
players, two of whom are second only
to the star. In Miss Alberta Converse,
his leading lady, he has an actress who
promises much; one who though scarce
" out of her teens, has produced sem
sation whenever SEEN All that youth.
beauty and magnetism can give has
been bestowed upon this lady. For his
principal male support Mr.. Downing has
secured this season Mr. Chas- D. Her
man who last season was the principal
support of Frederick Warde and who
for five years was Madame Modjeska' 5
leading man. With such a company the
rendition of a poor play would be at
least meritorious while the production
OF a play giving scope to their abili-
ties win be a treat long to be remem-
bered.

"a Man of Mystery will be presented
under the direction of MeSsrS- Leary and
Hagen. Despite it's sensationalism the
play is said to be as pure in theme as
water from crystal spring not de-
tail is sighted or overlooked, and the
comedy element is a sunburSt Of wit
and humor, producing a freshet Of rip
ping laughter and merriment- In "A
Man of Mystery" as in ''Trilby, the
science Of hypnotism has been correctly
and successfully used. Of all the de-
praved monsters the stage has given

Shadow is the worst. A hypnotist who

sieclen school, who robS his friend, not
by entering his house at night by the
flash of a dark lantern and blowing
open his safe, but by clasping his hand
in friendship and looking him in the
eye.
The play is built upon his last crime.
the robbery of his own uncle and sister
The sister is loved by Ned Keene, a de-
tecfive who is tracing the criminal. and
who, because of his love hesitates to DO
his duty and expose the scoundrel. The
sister herself discovers the crimes of her

Guiding a beautiful heart story, form the
material for this most wonderful play.
The characters are all well drawn and
true to life. The comedy and dialogue
none of the old-fashioned clap trap and
bonbast in either the language or ac-
tior. The characters are true to life aid
move, talk, and act ike people one
meets every day. The climaxes are
strong and of great intensity. Each one
is story in itself. The company is al
excellent one, headed by those distin-
gulshed artists, Forest Flood and Miss
Aaude Shepard. Taken all in all "A

Important to Voters.

All persons who are not familiar
with the manner of voting under the
election Ia y passed by the genera! as
sembly in 1899 should study the follow
ing instructions carefully, and not
wait until the day of election to in
form themselves on the subject:
''If the voter wishes to vote the
straight party ticket he can do so by
writing in the blank space left at the
top of the ballot for that purpose the
name of the party ticket which he de-
sires to vote and deposit his ballot in
the ballot box. But, if there is some
candidate or candidates on another
party ticket that he wishes to vote for
he can write in the name of his party
at the top of the ballot Just as he
would if voting IA straight ticket and
then look down the list of candidates
till he finds the candidate on the other
ticket that he wishes to vote for and
make a cross opposite the name of this
candidate. BY doing this, his vote
" III oC toulIlCh lol al VI tiit ldtlti-
dates on his straight party ticket eX-
ccpt the candidates for the same Of
fees for which he has made cross
opposite the names on another ticket.
For example, suppose voter wishes
to vote the straight republican ticket
except for the state treasurer, and for
this Office wishes to vote for the demo
cratic candidate. He would write
at the top Of his ballot the word
republican" and then make cross
opposite the name Of the democratic
candidate for state treasurer. His
vote would be counted for all the can
didates on the republican ticket ex-
cept the candidate for state treasurer
and would be counted for the demo-
cratic candidate for that Office. If a
voter does not write the name of his
party at the top of the ballot, then he
must make a cross opposite the name
of every candidate on the ballot for
whom he wishes to vote and his vote
will be counted only for those candi-
dates opposite whose name he has
made a cross"

Robert w. BOnynge was born Sep
tember 8, 1863, in New York City.
He was educated in the public schools
of that city, and graduated from the
College of the City of New York in
1888, when he entered the Columbia
Law School and graduated theretrom
in 1885, receiving at the same time the
degree OF M. A. from the College of
the City of New York. He was ad-
mitted to the bar and practiced
law in New York until the spring of
1888.
He removed to Denver in May 1883,
and has practiced his profession there
ever since. In 1889, he had the CAPT
tai punishment law Of the state, which
was passed by the Eigth General AS
sembly, declared institutional by the
United States Supreme Court. in the
Hedley-Savage case, which resulted in
freeing the defendants, although they
were convicted of murder in the first
degree.
Mr.. Bonynge was one Of the attorn-
eys for Ex-Governor Evans in the case
in which Frank Trumbull was appoint
ed receiver of the Union Pacific, Den
yer and Gulf railroad, and at present is
the attorney for the estate of the late
Ex-Governor Evans, and executor of
the late Ex-Governor Samuel H.
Ebert.
Mr. BonyDge was elected to the
Ninth General Assembly as republi-
can in 1892, and served in the regular
and special sessions of that body, TAX
ing active part in all proceedings, and
being recognized as the leader on the
republican side.
He was appointed IL member Of the
Board of Pardons by Governor Nc
lntire in January, 1894, for four years,
but resigned his position in the year
1896.
He was the alternate Of Senator
Teller in the National republican con-
vention held in St. Louis in 1896, and
personally was opposed to boiling, but
obeyed the Instructions of the state
Teller's place when the latter left the
convention in his theatrical way.
When his duties in Il representative
capacity ceased, he joined the Nc
Kinley club, and supported the re-
publican ticket throughout the cam
paign.
He was nominated for state senator
on the republican ticket in 1898. but
was defeated in the still prevailing
silver craze and fusion fantasy, though
lie ran ahead of his ticket.
He WAS a member Of the nanver
The Grit-advocate., 1900-11-02

Chamber of Commerce in 1859, and
made d strong fight to have that body
take up the matter of procuring more
equitable freight rates for Denver and
Colorado.
1t will thus be seen that the career
of Mr.. Bonynge has been an exemplary
one in all respects, while his legal and
legislative knowledge are such as to
make him Il most fit candidate for Con-
gressional duties and honorS. The po-
litical freak who misreprcsents the
intelligent people of the First District
in congress now may well be succeeded
by such high toned gentleman, in
telligent Legislator, and consistent
and loyal republican as Hon. Robert
W. Bonynge.

OLlVERS AFTER THEM.

The Crystal Falls aud Great West
ern mines at Crystal Falls, now
owned by the Corrigan, Mckinney
Co., are likely to soon pass into the
hands of the Oliver Iron Mining
company. For the past few weeks,
DR.. Hulst, his son, and 7. F. Cole
have been conducting a thorough
investigation both underground
and on the surface, and our inform
ant, who is in position to know,
says there is little doubt about an
understanding as to the price being
arrived at. What the Fl CURE will be-
however, we have not been able to
learn. Yesterday there was a meet
ing at lrOnWoOd at which Attorney
K. c. Flanni gan, of Norway, was
present. These mines are both low
grade producers. Last year the
Crystal Falls had an output Of 1+7,
W4 tons, the largest in its history
The production of the Great West
crn for 1899 was 1876. The total
production to date Of the Crystal
Falls has been 533,667 tons. 1t is
stated that if the divers get con.
troll the output of both properties
will be largely increased and a
great deal Of further development
will be done.-Iron Mountain Trib

FILLED TIL CIR CONTRACT.

The Biwabik mine stopped ship
ping ore Tuesday for the season.,
says the Evening Herald corres-
pondcnt, and discharged the great
cr part Of the force, numbering 100
men. The reason for the sudden
shut down was that the full quota
OF ore COntraCtcu for had been
shipped, and no new contracts
could be made on account of the
unsettled condition Of the iron mar
ket. With the single exception of
the Drake Il Stratton company the
mining industry in BiWabil1 is at a
standStill. The Duluth mine will
not be able to resume work for a
month, until the shaft house and
engine house destroyed by the
cyclone has been rebuilt. The Hale
mine on account of the recent floods
is working very lightly, and at the
BiWabik but a small part of the
force remains.

Delivers a Forcib1e Address at
at the Fay Opera House
to a Large Audience.
TOUCHES HOME MATTERS.

llon. {. G. Evans, Of 81. Paul, [.
:. district attorney and one Of the
best speakers OF the northwest, de-
liVtrcd an able and arynlentativc
add rcS$, to the citizens of Virginia
at the Fay opera house Saturday
evening and threw hot shot into
the ranks Of the enemy from start
to tinish
The speaker was introduced by
an able address by Mayor Palmer,
and in his address appealed for
fair and impartial view by the people
of prevailing business conditions as
compared with conditions during
the last democratic administration
from 1892 to 1885, He called atten-
ton to the fact that never in the
history of the country had wages
been better, had work been more
plentiful, had there ever been
greater era of prosperity and hap
piness throughout the country than
at the present time and contended
that the continuance of those con-
ditions is not a question of politics,
but rather of good business judg-
: merit
He said that the people of these
ranges owed much of the develop
1nent of their iron mines to the re-
publican policy of protection, and
expressed the hope that the people
would show their appreciation of
the policy which benefited them by
an endorsement of the same at the
polls on November 9th.
He referred with telling effect to
the work done by Hon. Page Morris,
to the efficiency of our Legislative
and county tickets, and trusted the
voters might lend hearty support
to each and every nominee of the
republican ticket.
Many prominent Duluth people
accompanied the speaker on his
visit, among them being VIC. Sar-
gent, Odin Haldin, J. P. Johnson,
DIR. Boyer, Capt. J. H. Pearce and J.
NJ. McClintock.
The Eveleth band was in attend
ance, as were also many visitors
from adjacent towns, and the meet

Review of Mining Operations
and Developments of Lake
Superior District
VACATED THE TOs NSITE.

Judge DilclI has filed his findings
NaCatlnG the plat of the Old village
OF }:Vrlvth in order that the Spruce
Mining company may get at the
iron ore that is located beneath the
former tOWnsitc plat. The case has
been in the courts some months,
and there was opposition to the pro-
Ceedings on the part of the village
first, and then of some of the own
ers of lots who would have to move
if the order was made.
Judge Dibell decided some time
ago that he would make the order,
and since then he has heard testi-
mony and arguments on the ques-
ton of damages. The village with
drew it's objection. leaving only four
owners of lots to oppose the action.
Judge Dibell's order vacates all of
the townsite except part of Carrie
avenue, the alley in block 10, and
Kimberley avenue, which gives an
outlet to the road to Virginia from
the present Eveleth townsite. The
four objecting lot owners get dam
ages running from $340 to $440 and
aggregating $500.
All of the lots in the old townsite
of Eveleth we're sold with the min
eral rights reserved, with a view tC
such contingency as has now TAX
en- place. "A number of deeds trans.
fering the interests of the property
owners to the Spruce Mining com
pany for a consideration of 81 were
filed in the office of the register OF
deeds. The company may now pro.
ceed to mine it's ore just as though
there never was town located over
the deposit, while the village is
flourishing short distance away
from it's old site. John G. Williams
is the attorney for the mining com
pany.
