AWARDS FIRE HOSE CONTRACT
Advisory Board Hastens Purchase of
six Thousand Feet from
Chicago Firm.

The Advisory board met yesterday after
noon and awarded a contract to the Chicago
Fire Hose company to furnish 5000 feet
OF four-ply rubber IRE hose at 81 per foot.
In accordance with bids furnished some
months ago. The hose is guaranteed for
four years and guaranteed to stand a pres
sure Of 400 pounds TO the square inch.
There we're six bids received for rubber
hose and one bid for the Eureka hose with
cotton Jacket. and the prices we're prac-
tically the same. all OF the frst-class hose.
including the Eureka. being quoted at 81
per foot. II was thought at the time the
bids were received that 1t would be possible
to postpone the purchase Of the hose until
after the new appropriation becomes avail
able, and the bids we're referred to a com-
mittee consisting OF the mayor. comptroller
and chief of the fire department. II has,
however, been found impossible to defer
the purchase Of hose any longer and the
committee so reported at the meeting Of
yesterday.

DECLARE AGAINST SUBSIDIES
Parliamentary Committee Advises
That Grants Only BE Given
for Service.

LONDON, Oct. 29.--The report Of the
Parliamentary subsidies committee on the
matter of British ship subsidies makes the
following recommendations:
No subsidies except for services rendered.
A committee composed of representatives
of the admiralty. the Board of Trade, the
colonial office and the postoffce should
watch the development of foreign competi-
ton.
Speed should be made a condition of all
subsidies.
No, subsidized vessel shall be sold abroad
without the consent of the government, un-
der pain Of forfeiture of the subsidy or a
heavy fine.
A majority Of the directorate Of subsi-
died lines, all the officers and a portion Of
the crews of the vessels should be British,
and the government should have control of
freight rates and fares.
Lighthouse duties now paid by British
ships should be abolished.
The question of excluding foreign ships
from the British c~oasting trade should be
considered with a view to exacting a fine
or license from such ships based upon any
subsidy they may receive from their own
governments.
1t is also thai special ex-
ceptions might be made where II Is desired
to establish fast British communication
and that such a subsidy Is now desirable
for the east African service.

BLOW OPEN A BANK SAFE
Six Robbers at Gardner, illinois, Secure
Several Thousand Dollars.
BIND THE TOWN MARSHAL WITH ROPES
Man Placed Under arrest Mt TelIR,
Iowa, Suspected of being Impli-
Gated In the Prairie
City Bank Robbery.

GARDNER. ILL.,, Oct. 29.-six men blew
open the vault Of the Exchange Ma
tional bank here early today and took
several thousand dollars.
They seized Town Marshal Edmondson
at the engine house. tied him up with ropes,
took him to the bank and set him in a
chair. The marshal is the only policeman
and everybody else in the town was asleep.
The vault was blown open with dynamite
and the inside of the bank wrecked. The
robbers are supposed to have secured $4,000
or $4,000, though the exact amount is not
known.
After leaving the bank they took the
marshal to the school house and tied him
TO a chair and put a rope around his neck.
The chair was placed at the head OF a
stairway so that IL he struggled TO release
himself he would fall downstairs and hang
himself. The robbers took a train which
left at 4:40 for Chicago.
Prairie City Suspect Arrested,
DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. 29.-one suspect
was arrested at Pella last night in connec-
tion with the Prairie City bank robbery
and is being held to await Identification.
As Night Waterman Erskine and Dentist
CLIFFORD watched the men for three hours
during the robbery It is believed identinca-
tion will be possible, although The men were
masked. ..
It has developed that there we're Ave OF
the bandits, two OF whom engaged in dyna-
hitting the safe, and that II required eight
shots before the safe was finally opened.
The loss has been definitely placed at $4,000.
Bloodhounds followed the trail Of the rob-
bers yesterday as far as Fairmont, six miles
southeast Of Prairie City, and there
stopped. This is construed as showing that
the men there took the Rock Island train
and went southeast. No definite clue was
obtained, however, and 1t is feared that the
robbers have made good their escape.

In shakespeare's time, when the stage
carpenter and property man we're not called
upon to furnish accessories to stimulate the
imagination or supply the natural objects In
such verisimilitude that imagination would
be unnecessary, 1t were easy to pro-
duce a spectacle. Imagine a storm, was
the instruction to the audience, and a fierce
gale and a raging sea was supplied by a
simple act Of faith. "a rocky cavern"
"a sandy Shore. "a wooded height" in
fact all the range Of natural or unnatural
scenery was easily supplied by this facile
process. Thus the great master was en-
abled to make productions and to leave
to posterity plays the putting on of which
has all but dehed the inventive genius and
ambitious effort OF the modern stage d.
rector. One Of these is The Tempest" 1t
possesses little literary merit. its story
shows a meagerness Of thought and its
working out a dearth OF detail, save as
such Is afforded by an effort to reproduce In
reality what the original patrons were sup
posed to imagine. Maybe It would better to
ask the modern playgoers to exercise their
inventive faculties somewhat and thus pro-
vide themselves with the several settings
necessary to give the dialogue OF the play
It's proper effect.
At any rate, the Messrs. Wagenhals and
Kemper have most earnestly tried to pro-
duce all the phenomena Of rain and wind
and thunder and lightning. shipwreck and
all the wonders OF an enchanted island
where a wise, benign and e~xpectant duke
holds sway, companioned by his daughter
and served by a beautiful sprite and a re-
puIsive beast, against the time when he
shall be restored to his dukedom. Within
all reasonable bounds, these efforts have
been fairly successful. Some very beauti-
full stage settings are shown. and when the
lights are properly manipulated the effect
is quite what It should be.
The characters Of Prospero and Caliban
do not AFFORD the win stars, James and
Warde, scope for proper exercises OF their
known ability, but what little these parts
do contain is thoroughly extracted. Miss
Edith Fassett as Ariel has much hard work
10 do. both to execute the commands OF her
ducaI master and to preserve the Illusion
horn of her spectacular appearance in the
storm scene, yet she carries Herself with
grace through all the scenes. Norman
| Haekett is an excellent Ferdinand. and Mr..
Cook and Mr.. Harris are really funny as
Trinculo and Stephano. Others in the cast
have little to do.
Mr.. Warde was the recipient last night OIL
an immense bouquet, given him by the
Omaha lodge OF Elks. a memento of appre-
citation for his services to the lodge in the
past. Sixty Elks were present In a body
at the performance. The Boyd was fairly

friend, Cynoscion regalia. have
chummed him with two. quarts OF
shrimp. have tempted him with yards
of blood worms at five cents per yard,
and yet he has not responded to my
wooing. shall try one more cast,
and then we will pull up the anchor
and sail for home"
Three Of the largest shrimp left in
the bait box he carefully impaled on
the hook. Then he dumped the re-
naming shrimp into the bubble and
yeast of the bay. They vanished like
snow on pancake griddle The line
ran slowly out, carried by the tide.
The twilight was deepening, the breeze
freshening. Sea lettuce, weeds and
grass floated down and lodged against
the throbbing anchor rope. The Sibyl
waved and plunged. Still the line ran
on and on until $50 feet of water had
been covered.
Suddenly the line lifted over the in
teryening burrows Of water. The
point of the rod went up in the air.
The line frightened until it sang tune
in the stitfening breeze, and little
beads of water dropped from it into
the bay. Cynoscion RECALLS had come.
The angler braced his feet, for the
Sibyl was as uneasy asa yearling colt.
The fish had struck the hook in the
whit e-plumed apex of wave, which
the departing sun had dyed vivid
crimson. In the red glare he shone
like refined gold. Urged by the resi]i-.
ent rod and persuasive revolutions Of
the silver windlass, the fish came near
er and nearer to the boat, in narrow
ing areas of circle, crossing ard re-
crossing the radiant waterway made
by the setting sun; the line cutting
little jet of spray before its tense
fiber.
Only once did Cynoscion reveal his
silvern symmetry as he darted through
one water furrow into another in the
effort to rid himself of that memorable
line. Frightened at the sight of the
boat, the fish dove and tore Is feet OF
line from the willing reel and the un-
willing angler. But the hook kept his
mouth open, and he was slowly drown
ing. One despairing attempt he made
to rush under the boat, but the strong
wrist turned him, the landing net
slipped under him, and he was laid
tenderly upon the rounded, wave-
swept free-board of the Sybil. Run.
