Four houses, valued at $l2, 600, were
destroyed by fire at Hazleton yesterday
morning. They were over the city line,
and Mayor Reinhardt refused to allow
the fire department to cross the line
with the apparatus. The citizens of
the district where the fire occurred had
objected to being annexed to the city
and as consequence Mayor Renhardt
denied them fire protection.

vile extravaganza which played to pack
ed houses at Scranton, Wilkesbarre and
Hazleton, this week, and opens an en-
gagement at Philadelphia Auditorium
on Monday evening, will be the offering
at the Grand opera house tonight.
Although classified as Il musical ex-
travaganza the production might very
properly be termed comic opera, con-
tanning as it does over forty musical
numbers including solos, quartettes,
octetes, and some notable fine choral
numbers. William Lorraine, the well
known composer of "Salome," has writ.
ten the music, and at least half dozen
of the songs are being whistled in the
towns where the piece has been seen.
The company numbers forty people
inclusive of twenty young women who
have been accorded the title of the
Beauty Chorus" by the newspaper
critics OF the country, in appreciation of
their personal attractions and singing
and dancing abilities.
The costumiug throughout is beautl-
ful while the scenery is an important
adjunct to a lirst-class production.
The cast OF characters and musical
program is published on the fourth page

Carters great scenic melodrama, THE
Fast Mail" 1t has been one of the
greatest successes known to the stage
for years 1t tells story of thrilling
interest, and the scenic and other me-
chanical effects are said to be marvellous
There is representation Of an engine
room on Mississippi steam boat, with
the furnaces under the boiler in active
operation. A very realistic train Of cars
shoots across the stage, and the Niagara
Falls scene is one of the most elaborate
and daring things ever undertaken in
the drama 1t Is described as beauti-
full, vivid and accurate representation
Of that stupendous marvel Of nature.
The falls are shown by moonlight, with
the roaring, plunging waters, and the
mist that rises from the seething cur
rent.
One Of the most prominent of the plays
features is the complete freight train of
fourteen cars, with an illuminated ca
boose, drawn by practical locomotive.
The play itself has thrilling situations in
abundance, plenty OF humor to tighten
its tone and give it an agreeable flavor
throughout.
Denman Thompson's "Our New Min
lister" will be seen in return engage
ment at the Grand opera house on Tues
day evening. There is only one opinion
Of its merits 1t is the best rural drama
ever given to the stage, and admitted by
press and public alike to be the only
legitimate successor to Thompson's first
effort Tho Old Homestead" Added
to that is as fine an all around company
seen here in many day, and you have
the secret OF it's success. "Our New

hearts OF our going community

pect OF playing to capacity house.

Evening at the Fair.
Night Entertainment Programs Provided
for the Visitors.

Evening entertainments Of a high or
der have now become settled feature
OF the Minnesota State Fair. Experience
running through several seasons has
demonstrated that the people want some
sort of amusement at the fair grounds
during the evening. Many people who.
have been shopping in the cities during
the day like to go to the fair grounds
rather late in the afternoon, spend q
short time in examining the exhibits,
take supper on the grounds, see few
more exhibits under electric light after
eating, and spend The remainder OF the
evening at the grand stand. For this
years evening entertainments, the State
Fair management has secured Pains
latest pYrotechnic success, "War in
China" This fireworks spectacle is based
on recent military operations in China
and the siege OF Pekin ~ troops Of
allied powers. It is Pains greatest effort,
undoubtedly the finest pyrotechnical
drama ever put on the stage. Besides
the fireworks there will be running and
chariot races under electric light and .
sensational automobile ride BY Fitzpatrick

BOYS ARRESTED ON SERf-
s3 Gus CHARGE.
OBSCENE LETTERS TRACED 10 THEM.
SHERIFF MCMILLAN AND u. IS. MARSHAL
TAKE ARREST.

For nearly q year parties in the vicinity
of West Newton have been receiving
anonymous obscene letters. Not only
obscene but fifty with the lowest In.
decency. Between twenty-five and fifty
letters have been sent out and finally q
trap was set to find the sender and on
July II, John Loffelmacher was suspect
ed, complaint was made to the United
States authorities and on Monday in
campany with sheriff Mcmillan Of Nicol-
LET county Deputy U. s. Marshal g. A..
Nimocks drove out to the farm and ar
arrested both John and Albert the two
sens OF Mr.. and Mrs. August Loffel-
macher.
They were very much surprised when
arrested and said it was justa scheme of
somebody's to get money out Of them.
The writing, however, is apparently iden-
tical with that of John Loffelmacher's
letters to Sheriff Mcmillan and the evil
dence is strong against them.
The letter written on the 18th of July
was mailed at this Office and was directed
to Adam Vinegar who is working for
John Mans and the purpose Of the CORE
|spondence seems to be to create feeling
against Mr. Mans which will cause him
TO leave. The theory is that the Loffel-
=machers owning q threshing machine are
not content to have Mans own one also
and have employed this means to drive
him out Of the neighborhood.
The boys were arrested on Monday
and lodged IN the Jail in this city and
yesterday morning were taken to Man
kato where they will have their hearing
before q. s. Court Commissioner Eber-
hardt. The fact'that suspicion attached
to John Loffelmacher in the poisoning
case brought by Kienlan last September
makes it look ratter da-k 70: the young
men.

Those who have not visited tho battle
field since 1868 will perhaps be some
what surprised to find a well-equipped
| trolley line running from the town of
Gettysburg through the central portion
of the battlefield as far south as the
DEVILS Den, making loop near Little

nearer Hancock Avenue on its way back

with but little expense.
The battle of Gettysburg occupied
peculiar position in the history Of the
civil war. It was one Of the great, II
not the greatest, battle of the war, and
1t was fought upon Northern soil. Many
historians have claimed that the battle
OF Gettysburg was the turning point OF
the great conflict that lasted from 1851
to 1865. and it seems that this fact has
aroused great patriotic interest In the
preservation of the battlefield and the
erection of suitable memorials to the
brave men who participated in this bat,
tie. All of the Northern and Middle |
States are represented on the battlefield, I
some with many and others with but few |
monuments. New York and Pennsyl- |
vania seem to be the more largely repre-.
sented. but smaller States. like Della /

and Rhode Island have contributed their
share in erecting monuments in men,

Decency still prevails to a consider able extent in the United States. The appointment of a murderer, gambler and convict to the position of United States marshal of Arizona has aroused storm of protest from the people, and President Roosevelt has recalled the commission of Ben Daniels for the Uffice Mir. Daniels intended to start in with a notorious bunko steerer, Tom Ashton, as his chief deputy. Ashton has been run out of Albuquerque and other ter ritorial towns on several occasions. He and Daniels would have made things lively in Arizona, clothed with little brief authority.
