Keith'S
TemDIe

Kaifh'S The new Keith temple of
vaudeville on Chestnut street,
Tempe Philadelphia, has been cen
tire of interest throughout the past week
and it is authoritatively announced that
over 40, 900 persons visited the magniti-
cent theatre up to Friday evening last.
The program for this week is promised to
be even better than that which opened
this house last week. Two of the prime
features of that initial bill. the Fadette
Woman's Orchestra and Mile. Capell, are
to be retained. The other act that has been
retained owing to its remarkable success
is the equestrian speciality of Mile. Capell,
PROFESSIONALLY the best performance of
its kind ever seen here. A third head
liner is the team of Cole and johnson,
whose former local engagement won for
this team" success of very unusual
sort. Cole and johnson are to sing a num-
Der of new songs. The Eretto Troupe,
billed as ''the greatest acrobatic novelty
in the world, " was seen for the first time
in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon.
Other tirst-rate acts include Melville and
Stetson, comedians and vocalists; Leroy
and Clayton, in George NJ. Cohen's sketch
Hogan of the Hanson" Franco Piper,
banjoist and banjo juggler; Willis p.
Sweatnam, the highly popular blackface
comedian; Wenona and Frank, expert
rifle shots; Milt and Maud Wood, in a
comedy singing and dancing act; Pasca-
tel, aerial contortiOnists; La Petite Helena,
vocalist and dancer, and Edwards and
Tooney, eccentric comedians.
The theatre itself would seem to be as
much of an attraction as the entertain
ment and it is a noteworthy fact that it
has attracted and is attracting great num-
bers of people whose first object is to view
structure which has been correctly de-
scribed as one of the most beautiful thea
tres in America.
keith'S The stock venture at Keith's
Bijou-Eighth street already
DlJOu promises to rival in popularity
the reign of variety at that house. The
company, which scored such an unusual
success in 1.-The Christian" during the
past week, leaped into comedy pro-
duction yesterday Afternoons severe test

success when presented by Miss Russell is
so fresh in mind that extended reintro-
duction of the piece is unnecessary. The
piece has many delightful situations, to-

that Mr.. jerome has ever written, and the
story is one that abounds in interest and
humorously effective episodes. The seen

ARRESTED AND RELEASED.

Salt Lake Travelling Man Gets Into
Slight Trouble.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
G. P. Criss, who travels for the Mil
waukee Harvester company, was ar
rested by the police late Monday night
and placed in Jail, where he remained
until yesterday afternoon when he was
released. I
His arrest was the result of a mis-
understanding of a telephone message
received from Helena and no criminal
charge rests against him. He had
been in the employ of the company
for sometime, but lately had not con
Quoted himself in a manner to meet
with the approval of w. E. Rarig, the
company's manager of the western
territory, whose headquarters are at
Salt Lake. During the latter part of
last week Rarig telegraphed him for
a meeting at Helena last Sunday,
Crisis received the message and while
he went to that city, he left before
Rarig's arrival, telling a friend that
he had grown tired of being "jacked
up" by his superior and had no de-
sire to meet him.
This Rarig learned and at once be-
gan to institute inquiries for his
subordinate, having ascertained thathe
had left Helena and gone to the east
ern part of the state. He used the
telephone and among others with
whom he communicated was George
Bennighoff of the Grand hotel, and
requested him to ask the marshal to
detain Criss until he could arrive
himself, as Criss had some valuable
papers he desired to secure posses
sion of. Mr.. Bennington informed a
policeman and the latter found the
missing man asleep at the Northern
Pacific depot. Thinking the message
had come from an officer and was a
request for the arrest of Criss, the
policeman took him to Jail, where he
was kept pending further information.
Yesterday Rarig arrived and ex-
planned that while he wanted Criss
kept here until he could see him he
had, had no desire to have him ar
rested on a criminal charge, merely
wanting to take precaution to insure
the mans presence when he arrived
here so that he could secure the mis-
sing papers. AS Don as he saw Criss
the latter surrendered the papers and
the incident was closed.

REGARDED WITH SUSPICION
Pointed Question Relative to ShepIe's
Bounty Claim.

The fact that recently a man ap-
peared at Helena and demanded boun-
ty on 800 wolves and coyotes which
he claimed to have killed or were
killed by others from whom he alleg-
ed he received the scalps that he Of
fered in evidence has caused a we'll
known gentleman of this city to ask
a question that may not be entirely
foreign to the subject. In speaking
of the matter to a Gazette reporter
yesterday he asked: Does anybody
know for a certainty that the man
Shepler, as he called himself, has not
been around the backwards of the
court houses in eastern Montana; and
do the commissioners Of tho different
counties supply furnaces for the Gro
nation of the scalps and strips Of
hide taken by the county clerks from
the claimants for bounty
Without attempting to answer the
question himself, the gentleman quot
ed read section 8 of the substitute for
house bill No. 33 of the session laws
CT 1899, which specifies the manner Of
procedure in bounty claims and also
directs how the scalps and other parts
of coyotes and wolves on which the
bounty is paid shall be disposed of.
While not wishing to be understood
as rejecting on any one connected
with the duty of carrying out the pro-
visions Of the law. the gentleman said
1t would be a comparatively easy mat
ter in many instances for a dishonest
man to secure possession of the scalps
on which bounty has been paid and
attempt to "work" some thoughtless
clerk and ecure second payment on
them. The fact that the man Shepler
had nothing more than the upper jaws
and scalps of the animals he claimed
to have killed and bought caused him
to strongly suspect that just such a
game had been attempted. The
further fact that officers looking for
him are unable to find Shepler made
the gentleman's suspicion all the
stronger.

known that she had not been in very
good health for sometime, as it vas

nerves and she succumbed.
Mrs. Stebbins was an estimable
woman and richly endowed with all
the graces Of mind and body that go
to make a devoted wife. a loveable
companion and a good mother. She

The mayor suggested that, perhaps,
an investigation into matters connect

not be amiss, in view of the charges
made by Judge Mann.
Two bills were introduced for ordi-

and operating an electric light and
power plant and building and operat-

ton was the gateway into the land
of promise. His career was a varied
one, but through it all he was ever
an honest man and a good citizen.
The esteem in which he is held by
his brother Masons was fittingly
shown Tuesday evening, when a spec

and the following resolutions were
adopted, in addition to which the men,
