TELLS A PRETTY STORY
/ 1y's "way Down East to Be Seen
Here the 18th.

ra 1y's "way Down East" to Be Seen
Here the 18th
An event of dramatic Importance
may be chronicled in the coming of
Way Down East" to Harper's thea
tire Sunday, Nov. IS. This is the
same great play that for over two
years crowded the Manhattan theatre
and Academy of Music, New York,
where it is expected to remain for
another year. This play is by Lottie
Blair Parker, and has been elaborated
bv J. B. Grismer. 1t will be given in
this city under the direction of Man
ager William A. Brady. with all the
beautiful scenic effects, mechanical
novelties, including the much talked
of snow storm, the village choir and
a company carefully selected with a
view of the portrayal of the characters
so peculiar to the rural districts of
New England.
The story is plain and simply told.
There is an old farmer who has a son
designed by the father to marry his
cousin; the young people do not care
for each other, the girl falling in love
with a butterfy-hunting professor,
while the young man is desperately
smitten with a mysterious girl who
strays into the family as a servant,
although it is quite obvious she is of
a higher station in life. Later, it ap-
pears she has been deceived by a mock
marriage. her betrayer being a rich
young fellow, who is now trying TO
marry the cousin. Just at the time
when the son declared his love, his
father goes away to follow up some
rumors relative to the girl his son
loves. Discovering their truthness,
he returns and drives her from the
house. This is the strong episode of
the play. All the characters of the
story are upon the scene and when the
stern old countryman orders the be-
trayed woman out into the snow,
his son declares he will accom-
pany her; then comes the old
mans bitter deuunciation of the
girl, of her admission of guilt,
and finally her statement that the
man who is responsible for her be-
trayal is an honored guest in the
house. AS she points him ont, his
very manner betraying guilt, all the
other personages impulsively turn
beseeching her 10 remain. The girls
Indignation is great and she dashes
out into the snow, the son following g
the wroDged woman, the love of
whom fills his heart.
Of course, the heroine has been far
more sinned against than SHINING,
and all the crinkles are so straight
ened out that there is a happy end
ing. There are many amusing scenes,
in fact the play is said to be full of
homely humor. There is some jolli-
fication. And in all it is said to be q
sterling, drama of rusticity, bubbling
with sensation and showing humor
enough to stay sweet all the time.

Cold EXPANDS Them,

A civil engineer who is in Alaska has
written home to Chicago that the rails
on the Chilkoot Pass railway expand
with the cold instead of contracting,
as they would be supposed to do. a
temperature ranging from u degrees
to 40 degrees below zero L. would not
appreciably affect the length of rails,
but severer cold than that would be
attended with expansion. This is GER
tainly an exception to a law OF nature.
although water shrinks as it cools until
80 degrees f. is reached, when it be-
gins to expand.

Poor Fellow Suspected of Evading the PO-
lice Was Dead in the Ruins.


New York. Nov. 1.-TWO bodies were
taken from the ruins of the Tarrant
building yesterday. The first was that
of Hamilton Matthews, n driver for
Tarrant & Co The remains We're
shockingly mutilated. The other body
proved to be that of Benjamin Moore
house, the missing shipping and stock
clerk of the company. Moorehouse was
81 years old and had been missing
since the day of the explosion.
With him in all probability died also
all possibility of explaining the fire
horror. 1t was Moorehouse who had
charge of the storage book of the big
drug firm, in which was a list of all
the explosives stored in the building.
No trace of this book was found. The
officials insisted all along that the
clerk had simply disappeared for a
time and would later turn up.

From private sources We learn
that j. ID. Boyer, of San Francisco,
who is operating some claims in
the Dixie country for the Gold
Point Co, Of Portland. has received
instructions from his officials to
get the ground in shape as soon as
possible for the erection of a stamp
mill which is now on It's way to
Stuart for transportation to the
mines. Thus one by one the

Idaho Little Giant Mine.

Walter Hovey Hill, general
manager of the Idaho Little Giant
Mining company operating the Lit
tie Giant mine at Warren, came
out last week with nice little gold
bar the result Of a trial run of 21a
tons of ore, averaging about $50
per ton on the plates, with nearly
as much more value to be saved
by concentrates. This is some oil
the ore that the former owners
of this mine considered too low
grade to take out, and which
Mr.. Hill informs the FREE Press
will net the company about $50
per ton above the cost of extrac-
tion, when all the values are saved.
There Is $50 tons Of ore Of this
character in sight in the mine at
present, all ready for taking out;
in fact slopes have been run
through in, and nothing remains
but for the miners to knock down
the ore and send it to the ore bins
The mill building is about ready
for the new mill, and other build
ings that had to be put up to &C
commodate good force Of men,
are about completed. Next month
a large force of miners will be
showed into the mine at every
point where there is ore to extract
and at least 40 men can be used
all of whom will be stopping on ore
as soon as accommodations art
ready
While this ore is not all rich, il
has an average value that pays FOL
all mining work with a LITTLE
profit, and the rich ore is being
sa cked and will be shipped crud,
to smeter.
1t is the intention Of the man
agement to work this mine on a
large scale as possible and keel
the ore in sight ample to run fiv
stamp mill regularly, as soon a
| the reserves now in sight in tn
mine and dumps are exhausted.

Poor Dog Tray.

About fourteen dogs were poisoned in
this city last week. 1t is believed the
bait was put out Thursday night. Mar.
shal keiffer bad assistants out Saturday
gathering up the CANNES for burial.
Then again, there were h4xeu haired
girls and Little Boys in Blue" who
went ont sorrowfully. that Indian sum
mer day. to inter the dead body Of their
darling pet. Sometimes Little Boy
Blues" SORROW changed its course. To-
stead OF thinking Of the dead dog, his
mind flashed 10 the live man who did it,.
Then he grew sarcastic and actually
swore.
The man who IS mean enough to
poison harmless dogs has been described
So carefully, he has been vilIfied 30
earnestly, SO lavishly hat wa aaye moth
ing la contribute.
Polsnning dogs is not an innovation
here. IL occurs periodically; IT is done
ia other towns, and the papers of said
towns proceed to do the guilty party to
a tinIsh. 1t is a pity that some dog,
which harms no one, and which is the
pet and protector of some child, should
be treated SO Inhumanely. few valu-
able pets have been killed tins time, and
more than one little boy, more th-n one
little girl has lost a valuable friend. But
even the youngsters have their sorrows.
