 up-to-date dress, new scenery. costumes, electrical effects, new faces, specialties, music, funny comedians, .comical situa- tions and climaxes, all go towards making an evenings entertainment. It Is prom ised there Is not a dull moment from the rise of the curtain on the Brass Band -Serenade" until It's final fall on the tramp being thrown down stairs. All the characters are faithfully portrayed and Miss Katie Rooney, as Mary Ellen daughter of Mrs Murphy, queen of the flats is easily the star Of the constel- lation; though Billy" Barry, Jr., and Johnny Gilroy are well up in the van. The Yellow Kids, impersonated by Bobby Ralston. and Jerry Sullivan, are said to provoke much merriment.

WILSON'S DAYS ON THE TRACK OVER Bicycle Rider We'll Known Here
 is Dead RACED ON LOCAL TRACK Killed In an Accident at Madison Square Garden-Bad Luck Fol
 lows MT. Plckens'
 Bunch.

Johnny Nelson the bicycle rider, who He rode here as an amateur in 1899 The following special from New York tells of
 Johnny Nelson, the Chicago bicycle rider, who was injured in d spill at Mad- ison Square Garden last Wednesday, night, died in Bellevue Hospital yester- day morning Nelsons left leg was hor- ribly mangled by falling under pacing tandem and blood poisoning set in
 "The leg was amputated on Saturday In the hope of rsaving the boys life, but it failed in its purpose, and he succumbed' shortly before o'clock this morning.
 "Nelson's father and mother are In. Sweden. The only relatives he has In th1s country are an elder brother, Fred, in Chicago, and his younger brother Joe, who Is only r years old, who has all ready done some remarkably fast riding as an amateur.
 Johnny was M years old. He won sls,- 900 In prize money this year, of which his net proceeds were seoOo. Most of this he has banked.
 Motors Come Together.
 "Nelson was riding a fifteen-mile race with Jimmy Michael and on the third lap of the third mile, while going at ao gait, the fastest ever made on ten-lap track, the rear tire on the Nelson motor went down, Nelson struck it and then Michaers motor, with Crooks steering, and Stone on the rear seat, crashed into Johnny, The Michael motor fell on Nell son and the main sprocket nipped the calf of Neison's left leg and cut 1t completely off, .s..,f
 Before Nelson was given medical aid he nearly bied to death from the frighsful wound. He was as game as pebble. though, and never whimpered"
 w H. Pickens, who was running the races here when Nelson was in several contests. writes the Age-Herald the fol- lowing letter:
 Bad Luck Followed Bunch.
 Nelson was an amateur when he was in Birmingham with me, and went east from there and became a professional champion. strange fatality seems to have pursued the team had down there. Eaton was suspended for life, Stafford was killed on a pacing tandem e year ago, Waller broke his leg in May, Miller was badly hurt in the Paris-B -Beaudoux road race last month, and now Nelson is killed.

This time the report comes from Mar seillea, and predicts nothing less than the annihilation of the British coal trade in the Mediterranean, thus giving official sanction to rumors that have been cur rent for some time.
 "Mr. oonsul-GeneraI Gurney begins by pointing out that special department of commercial intelligence has been organ ized at the consulate general, arrange ments having been made with the local Chamber of Commerce, presidents of sym dicates and well-informed merchants with a view to supplying immediate informa- ton on trade matters to British mer- chants and manufacturers
 MT. Gurney then proceeds to explain how the Saint Gothard tunnel and the completion, some five years hence, of the Slmplon railway will make Genoa the loading and unloading port of Switzer- land and Germany, to the damage of Mar seilles, which can only regain it's position by becoming free port'-a not improb- able contingency.
 Speaks of Monopoly.
 "The most vital question for the mo- ment, nOWoVef, to tho Ohilcu hhbUoiii' continues the consul-genera is the deter mined attempt of the United States to obtain the monopoly of coal imports. How much of the general activity of Mar seilles in the future will be due to Amer ican enterprise and energy 1t is still too early to say with any certainty, but one thing Is certain that a large share of the future trade and commercial activity of Marseilles and the south of France will be absorbed by the United States of America, a considerable proportion at the expense of the United Kingdom, unless British traders wake up to the danger and meet 1t by diligent investigation and fight it by combination. great Ameri- can coal combine, MT. Gurney says. Is under contemplation"

COST OF BAD ROADS.
Easy Transportation Would add to
the Value of the Farms.

Experts employed by the depart
mcnt OF agriculture to investigate the
subject say that the cost OF moving
farm products from the farms to rail

exceeds S9IG000,OO0 year, the aver

Possibly 1t does not pay in the mere
matter OF dollars and cents to paint the
farm home and the farm buildings, but
the doing Of it will do something to
remove that tired feeling common to
many people who live OH the farm. A
man may very properly wear 10 cent
hat. 40 cent shirt and 80 cent poir
Of overalls while doing his farm work,
but his home-the place where lie lives
should not be rugged out on the 80
and 40 cent basis. - s4A

There are probably more aged Tran.
scendent crab trees to be found scat
tered all over the northwest section of
the country than OF any other variety

they seem I" hr every whit as hardy as

wilhsto0d the effects of drOughts, OF

The demand for the Pacific coast
lumber Is increasing all through the
central west at great rate. This lum.
her, having to be shipped by rail. leaves
many coast cars TO be returned as emp
ties at heavy cost or to be filed with
the products Of the ccutral west. There
is thus opening 4 chance for low freight
rates on maHy products from the Mis-
sissIppi valley to the coast which will
be utilized.
