cat Valley Forge, which will be
the attraction at the opera house
next Saturday night, is said to be
the sweetest, prettiest and most
spirited story of our colonial days
yet written. 1t is described as
drama of marvellous power and
great human interest, replete with
spontaneous comedy and touching
sentiment which lifts it into the at
mosphere of genuine merit. The
story deals with the love of q
pretty colonial girl for dashing
captain in Gen. Washington's army,
and threaded along the central
theme is series Of strong, logical
and dignified climaxes. The cast is
spoken of as being altogether most
attractive one and the costummg
charming to the eye in its coloring,
the red and white Of the British
being blended with the blue and
buff of the colonial soldier.

POISON IN THE BEER.
Wealthy Manufacturers Bottle Had
Been Tempered With.

New York, Dec Am Investigation by
atlae-coroner into the sudden death ON Tues
day of George F. Leyh, a wealthy truss
manufacturer, ir Brooklyn, has developed
considerable of a mystery. The investiga-
ton is proceeding.
Lcyh was over 20 years old and is said
to have possessed an estate of more than
100000 1t was his custom to cut luncheon
in the rear of his place of business With
his daughters he made his home in apart
ments above. On Tuesday the luncheon
was brought Usual and Leyh went into
the cellar for bottle of beer He took
it from a case consisting of 20 bottles On
taking off the top he found the beer fat
but drank part of glass. 1t tasted bad
and he called to the office boy whom he
asked to taste the beverage which, he said.
was bitter. The boy put the glass to mis-
lips and he said the same Leyh arose
and started across the ROOM Suddenly he
fell and died in 20 minutes.
The doctors found that his death was
probably caused by a strong irritant poi
son. At first it was believed the stuff
had been placed in the bottle for safekeep-
ing and that Leyh had taken the fatal
whole affair is said to have convinced the
coroner that the top of the bottle bad been
taken off and that a large quantity of
poison was poured into the beer and the
bottle put back in the case where, as Leyh
drank one bottle daily. it was only qaes-
ton of time when he would take it The
beer that remained in the bottle and the
glass used showed a quantity of sedi-
ment An autopsy will be performed and
the contents of the bottle analysed to learn
the nature OF the poison.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

1t Is doubtful if Topeka has ever seen.
so good a Carmen" as that portrayed by
Rose Cecilia Shay at the Grand opera
house last night. This beautiful opera
has been in Topeka often but in recent
years the casts have been woefuHy weak
and the result has been anything but sat
isfactory. But last night the piece was
put on with elaborate and correct scenery
and with a cast that was far above the
average and specially suited for the pr,n-
cipals.
The best thing in Carmen" is the
Toreader song and chorus and it was
worth the price of admission to hear Al
berti In this famous selection. He was
given several encores-
Helene Mold as Micaele also made de-
cided impression and was especially
pleasing in her solo work. She did not
sing in Faust" and her appearance in
Carmen" was a strengthening feature
She has clear. perfectly trained soprano
voice and the audience showed its apprec-
iation in recalling her after her solo in the
third act and her duet with Walter Wheat
| ley in the second.
/ John Dunsmure the basso, was cast as
Don Cairo, the registering outlaw. and
while the part gives him few opportunities
he acquitted himself well.
Carmen" does not carry over the heads
of the ordinary person uneducated in
music and for this reason it was more
satisfactory to the audience as a whole
than Faust"

It's which developed yesterday had aba

say to the fact that for two or three
days Mr.. Reed has been subsisting upon
practically a liquid diet, largely cham

induce little kidney trouble so that
the present complications are not re-
garded as serious. Mrs. Reed and her

evening, are assured that the present

SHORT ON HAM AND BACON.
Queer Condition of Markets in the
Yukon Country.

Pittsburg, Dee. 4.-Mr Harry Huh,
late of the commission firm of Barrett
& Hull, Dawson, and now taking in the
cities of Puget Sound, is in receipt of
there are startling. For years there has
not only been an abundance of every
thing, but competition has prevented
anything like fancy prices for a single
article, unless perchance towards the
end of winter some particular line would
be found short, and possibly held by one
or two firms. Prices for few weeks
would then soar, to be relieved by the
first receipts in the spring Butter
which during the last winter never
reached a higher figure than so cents
pound, and was selling before spring at
40 cents, is already in Dawson IS cents.
Bacon, which for two years has been
difficult to move at all at more than 20
cents, is now quoted at As cents. Other
lines are given as nearly as high, the
markets quite generally being in a much
improved condition over a year ago.
The explanation given by Mr. HulpS
Dawson correspondent is that the war
between the White Pass railroad and
the big mercantile and transportation
cOmpa nies usingsthe lower river came to
an acute stage last spring.
The big companies had undertaken to
drive the small. merchants out of busi-
ness and with them the White Pass
road. Prices were. slaughtered time after
time until Decentralization ensued and
were afraid to buy. Then the White
Pass people made the mistake of assur-
ing the small merchants that the COM
pany would bring in goods and sell
them to the aforesaid small merchants
a a price they could use to fight the
companies .vta
The result was THAT the merchants ne
elected their buying until it was too late
to properly assert their STOCK and OILY
succeeded in getting in what they con-
sidered imperativeiy necessary. Butter,
dried potatoes and number of other
staples had been selling below cost or IL
figure that yielded no profit and
consequence no spe..al efforts We're put.
forth to stock up in those lines. the artsu-
ms emf with the merchant seeming to be
that if he had to go shore from the con-
gestion of traffic at the last hour, ne pre-
ferred to go short on those things which
had done him no good heretofore.
Thus it has happened that the very ar
ticles that were a glut the market all
last winter are now going at premium
which indicates a fortune before the win
ter is over for the big companies, who
have the only stock in the country. The
large companies have changed their pol
icy, at the same time they have made
sweeping change in the management, and
are no longer willing to sacrifice goods
on the bare possibility OF having the field
to themselves in the uncertain future.
From the end of the railroad to Dawson
over the ice freighting costs never less
than 50 cents a pound. 1t will be seen at
once that there is no prospect of relief
from this source in anything but butter.
eggs, and the few, articles reaching toward
the dollar mark.
