FRANK KEENAN, in "a POOR RE,
LATION' at the Auditorium, tomorrow
night, under the management of L..
NJ. LUCHS.
The coming attraction at the Audi
torium on tomorrow night will be one
of sterling merit insomuch that "a
Poor Relation" was one of Sol Smith
Russell's first winners, and as Noah
Vale the poor inventor, Mr.. Russell
made his most artistic success. Mr.
Fred. G. Berger, for thirty years and
still Mr.. Russell's manager, is sole
manager of "a Poor Relation" Co.,
which is ample guarantee of the su-
perb cast of players, and that careful
and conscientious management which
makes possible delightful perform
ance Henceforth Mr.. Russell will ap-
pear in the larger cities while Mr..
Frank Keenan, will appear in Mr. Rus
sells plays in those towns where the
famous comedian will not appear. Mr..
Keenan's triumph last season in this
play argues well his acceptance as a
favorite theatrical star.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-03-26

"The Game Keeper" a new romatic
drama will be seen at the Auditorium
tonight. This play has an earnest.
deep plot, in the working out of which,
Smith O'Brien. the star, who has a
fine voice, the grace of born actor and
splendid physique, gives an excellent
Interpretation of the real Irish hero.
In his expression of the brogue he is
fidelity itself, and his songs are al.
ways highly appreciated. The scenery
used in this production is all carried
by the company. Irish castle is artis-
tically portrayed, lake and dell, also
the Illuminated chapel. Seats on sale

A WHITE DEER.

The shooting of a white deer near
Eagle River this week, by young man
named Will Maher, recalls the old
Indian legend which has been inter
woven III the history of the state. A
white deer of course is very unusual
thing and is always treated with kind
ness and consideration by Indians be-
cause they claim it to be the incarnation
of an Indians soul
Many years ago, in the early Wiscon-
sin days, there lived a tribe of Indians
near Eagle River, Wisconsin, who had
been i'll treated by the whites of near
by settlement, and they had determined
upon a course of vengence The
Indians decided to raid the white set
Element by night and butcher the entire
community, men women and children.
One of the Indians who knew the
attrocious plans of his red brothers left
camp and started for the white settle
ment to warn the inhabitants of i'm
pending danger Being taken for a
warrior bent on mischief, he was shot
by the whites just before he would
have entered the settlement and from
his body the Indians say that white
deer came. Ever since that period, the
Indians have all respected the white
deer as the incarnation of an Indians
soul and will not kill u white deer or
permit anyone else to.-Rhinelander
Herald

Is Tt Growing Worse ?

President Mckinley said in his last
message to Congress that there was
then only 'small faction" of the Phil
ippinos opposed to American rule.
Shortly before the last election the
Chicago Times Herald, a republican
paper, said "Re-elect President Me-
Kinley and let the Philippines know
that they are not to have independence,
and they will lay down their arms"
Then came the capture of Aguinaldo;
and the assurances of the republican
papers that the war was at last really
over, are sull fresh in the memory of
all who read those papers.
Now the same Chicago Times Herald
publishes an interview with Gen. Chat
fee who was recently in command of
the Philippine army, in which he says
''The whole people of the Philippines
are engaged in waging war upon the
United States"
Apparently, if former assurances
were reliable, and if Gen. Chaffee I'M
derstands the situation now the war in
the islands instead of being ended by
the republican victory in 1900, as we
were assured it would be, has, on the
contrary, grown in magnitude until we
have now a united people fighting
against us, and fighting harder and
better than they did before.

What War Does.

We venture the belief that an i'm
partial study of history will convince
the student that, strange as it may
seem at first thought, the war habit de-
stroys nations best fighting qualities.
In other words the more nation prac-
tees war the less is that hation able to
carry on successful wars. The Rom
ans, the Persians, the Saracens, the
Turks, the Spaniards and the British,
are notable examples of this. The old
est of these nations utterly enervated
themselves by their own warlike aggres-
sions. The latest of them, who still
occupy to greater or less extent the
theater of human action are fast follow
ing to the grave occupied by their pre-
decessors. War destroys the flower of
the youth of country No country
can stand the continual drain of war
upon its best men, and continue to be
strong and vigorous. War demands
Tor It's soldiers men physically perfect.
OF these it kills many, cripples many,
ruins the health of many more, and de-
moralizes many who escape its other
dangers. Then it entails upon those
who stay at home heavy burden of
taxation giving them much to do be-
sides earning their own living, and
thus robbing them of time which might
otherwise be used in self Improvement.
These are few of the ways in which
war deprives the country that practices
it of the power to make war. War
seems to be a notable exception to the
maxim that Practice makes perfect"
War is suicidal. In the words of Gen
eral Sherman, 'War is hell"

Worlds Richest Mine.

The American Mining News contains
the following about the great United
Verde mine, the property of Senator
Clark of Montana, which, if correct,
would indicate that it is probably the
richest mine and he the richest man in
the world
at has only lately come to light thai
the average value of the ore taken from
the United Verde is S75 per ton in all
values gold, silver and copper. This
mine, so far as has been developed, in
GLIDING explorations and diamond
drilling below the present workings,
shows an immense ore chimney, 400x
600 feet across, that has been explored
by shafts, tunnels and drill holes to a
depth of l, 400 feet.
Just how far it will be possible to
work this mine down before the heat
limit is reached'is hard to say, but rea-
sonable estimate would be 5000 feet.
An estimate by one of the best mining
engineers in this country shows that
the mine to the depth of !, 400 feet con
tains $3.50, 900, 900 of ore, and estimating
II cubic feet to the ton there is practi-
cally 23,OO0,OO0 tons in sight.
IF we carry these figures a little far
Their che present values of the United
Verde we have the average value OF
ore equaling 81, 800, 100000. The pres
ent owner of the property has refused
$500, OO0, 900 for the mine"

The west side M. (. Mission will give
a supper next Tuesday evening from
$50 until o'clock, in the parlor of the
M. E. church, east side.
Nearly everyone is awaiting for the
coming of snow; the merchant in ex
pectancy of an increased business, the
lumberman that he may haul his logs,
the farmer that he may haul some of
his products to town and convert them
into cash, and other people are await
ing its fall for reasons peculiar to them
selves. The swamps in the woods are
not frozen and little can be done by the
lumbermen without copious supply
of the beautiful. Only little would
be necessary, however, to make things
hum along the country roads. The few
weeks before Christmas is when the
merchant reaps a harvest, but unless
The farmer has snow to haul logs, etc.,
to town to turn into coin, he buys little
and the merchants trade is limited to a
marked degree The proprietors of
country saw mills are on the anxious
seat, while the consumers of hardwood
logs in Wausau are shipping by rail
until snow comes.

Lighting I'm the Coliseum.

The Romans have the hideous habit
of periodically lighting the Coliseum
during the tourist season with Bengal
lights and, what is more amazing still,
usually succeed in making a financial
success Of it, although no one was ever
known to go twice.
There is the additional! abomination
in these days Of big brass band and
a chorus of 100 voices in an invocation
to the Flavian amphitheater. The ef-
feet Is tremendous, but somewhat stun
ming to those who are accustomed to
their Coliseum empty and flooded
with peaceful moonlight, where pic
lures from the past rise with the clear

heard but ones own breathing or the
song Of the nightingale. Contrast with
such a scene the red, blue and yellow
Bengal lights. the smoke, the confu-

the Roman of today with whom such

A number Of years ago Mr.. Withee
was presented with two fine hounds.
and, wishing to try their training and
tie bear hunting.
The first morning W'ithee let the dogs
out for run while he was getting the
breakfast, expecting them to be back
in a short time. When breakfast was
over, the dogs had not returned, so,
taking his gun, Mr.. Withee started out
in the direction they had taken. After
travelling about q mile the faint bark
ing Of dogs could be heard, and it was
then plain why the dogs had not re-
turned. They had scented game and
were in pursuit. The sound of the
barking led him far up the side of a
mountain, and soon he came in sight of
the dogs standing around the upturned
roots of tree.
Mr.. Withee crept up cautiously until
within about 10 feet Of a cave that was
near by, and then black, shaggy head
could be seen just above the roots.
Taking good aim, he fired his "A cali
Der and awaited results. After several
minutes he went up to the cave, and
what he saw there gave him a shock
from which he has never recovered.
Two bears lay dead, and two more
were So stunned that d few quick pass
es with knife settled them.
For the four bears Mr.. Withee re-
ceived $40 bounty, $3.50 for their
hides and $42 for the bear oil, making
$3.50 for one days hunt.--Maine

A BILL was passed by the last legisla-
ture which provided the detachingof GER
tain territory from the county of Chippe-
wa and creating the county of Gates. At
first the new county was to have been
called "Rusk," but j. W. Gates of Mil
waukee, promised to give $4,000
towards the building of a court house.
if the county were given his name.
Many citizens of the county opposed
the name of Gates and commenced
proceedings against the forming of the
new county, claiming certain irregular
tiles. Those favoring the new county
came out victorious in the circuit court
and also in the supreme court.
