Down Go the Prices.

The day of high prices is fast disap-
pearing everywhere for mediocre theat-
rical companies. For some time it has
been a question why 81 and $3.50 should
be demanded for companies who have
played Seattle, Portland, st. Paul for
much cheaper prices. Manager Mcguire
takes the bull by the horns, and will
tomorrow, commencing with Sunday
matinee, solve the question by introduce
ing the popular price system. The best
teats for all matinees is only Is cents,
lnd the night prices 25 and so cents. The
company opening the Christmas season

Tor some time and John I. Lindsay, the
teadng actor, is one of the best-known
artists before the public. The opening

SPLIT THE PENALTY.
Warren Gets Two Years and a Half in
Prison,

Frank Warren, convicted of bur-
glary in the second degree in Judge Nc
Clernan's court last Thursday, was this
morning sentenced to two years and a
half in states prison.
The maximum punishment for bur-
glary in the daytime is five years, and
Judge McClernan split that period in
two.
Warren was captured by an Italian
named Bonino in the latter's room in
lodging house on Park street about two
months ago. The contents. of the room
had been rifled.
Warren swore, on his trial, that he
was looking for his wife and had got
into the wrong house, and denied
that he had disturbed the contents or
Bonino's room, but he did not convince
the jury.
His attorney made a plea for mercy
on the ground of his youth and the
fact that he had not secured anything
in the robbery.
Judge McClernan said that the only
extenuating circumstances were that
Warren had burglarized in the daytime
and had not had a weapon upon him.

the Littlejohns and who was found
guilty of murder in the second degree
and later granted a new trial by the
supreme court, today asked Judge Nc
Clernan to fix bail for Pooley.
Pooley wants his liberty. It is under
stood that Mr.. Thresher takes the stand
that, while murder is unbailable, the
verdict finding Pooley guilty of murder
in the second degree virtually acquits
him of murder, and that he is entitled
to bail, murder in the first degree being
the only kind of unbailable murder.
Judge McClernan asked Assistant
County Attorney Mackel what he had
to say on the subject of granting Pooley
bail. and he replied that the county
attorneys office would refuse to agree to
bail. Judge McClernan took the mat
ter under advisement then.

Supplies

Just Monday and Tuesday for
Butte's Xmas shopping. For selec-

shoppers will surely select Monday,
because shopping at the last day is
seldom satisfactory.

Mondays and Tuesdays trade.
You will be on the safe side by
