A jolly Musical Farce Coming
TO the Grand.

'The Way of the Wicked" which
closes its engagement at the Grand to-
night has been success here. The
play was conceived in that comprehen-
siye manner which makes 1t one of in
terest. to all sorts and conditions of
men. The happy thought which led
to the engagement Of the two reform
ed burglars to present the great bank
robbery scene lends additional realism.
Popular prices prevail.
Genuine musical farce comedy, which
has proven very scarce in the past few
seasons, with all its well known IA
miliar surroundings of pretty girls,
jingling songs, eccentric character
sketches, clever dances and mirth pro-
voking situations will be the attraction
presented to the patrons of the Grand
for three days and nights, be-
ginning with Thursday matinee in that
cleverly devised farce, Shooting the
Chutes," The presenting company has
been strengthened by the addition Of
several new faces. Prices for Akron
have been reduced to 10, 20, 30 ana

met with n great reception, both from

corded them. Soon after landing they
boarded the steamship Nigeria, where

tary; Earl Roberts and General Lord
Kitchener greeted them. They were
also introduced to Mrs. Chamberlain
and Lady Roberts, with whom they
chatted for some time.

Asked why they declined the govern
ment's invitation to witness the naval
review, the visitors remarked that they
were too tired after the long war aud
needed rest"
The scene at the railroad station on
the arrival of the Beers was remark
able. An enormous crowd Of people
gave them welcome as hearty as that
given to Lord Roberts and Lord kitch-
ener when they arrived from South
Africa. Shouts OF GOOD old De Wet"
"Our friends, the enemy and Brave
soldiers ALL" were frequently heard
amid salvos OF cheers. General DE
Wet was fairly cornered by mob and
had to be rescued by the police, who by
sheer force cleared u line OF retreat for
him.
General De Vets secretary stated
that the Boer generals had accepted nm
invitation to visit King Edward ut
Cowes. Afterward he said, the gen.
erals expected to give out a statement
OF their views and plans. The main
object of their tour was the collection
Of fund for the families of Beers
who died In behalf OF their country. He

ELECTRIC LIVE MERGER.
important Combination Of Electric
Lines In Southern Colorado.

| Denver, Aug. 10.-Plans for an extern
sive interurban electric railway line
which also contemplate the merging of
several of the electric lines already
constructed in the Colorado Springs
and Cripple Creek mining district, are
outlined in articles of incorporation
which were fled August 18th with the
secretary of state by the directors Of
the Colorado Springs and Interurban
Railway Company. The incorporators

ton, A. b. Sharp, William Lloyd, John
McBane and Henry McAllister, Jr. The

$4,000 shares at par value of 500.
The objects stated in the articles of
incorporation include the acquisition of
the Colorado Springs Rapid Transit
Company and the Colorado Springs
| Suburban railway and their extension
to connect with new lines to be con-
structed to the towns Of the Cripple
Creek district, to Pueblo, and through
Cheyenne canon and the Garden of the
Gods. The company is also authorized
to purchase street railways now in OPP
Grafton in Ell PasO, Teller and Pueblo
counties. The company also has the
right to acquire franchises and rights

the interurban service is to be electric
ity. The company also has the right to
build telegraph lines and power plants

, ton Of all of the electric lines in the
southern part of the state and the con-
struction Of several hundred miles Of
interurban and city lines in the various
counties mentioned in the incorpora-
tons. The two companies named as

fessor who tramped the country and
wrote 1.-The Workers" will make
similar tour of Colorado. The an
nOuncement comes from Mr.. WykOff.
who declares that he isn't satisfied
with what he saw of Colorado on his
first tramp, and that this state offers
n better field for economic and socio-
logical investigations than any other
in the Union.
Mr.. Wykoff will make the Colorado
tour during the next two months, and
will walk from side to side and end to
end of the stale. His tour will be in
general like the sensational journey
which he made over the country sever
al years ago, when he disguised himself
as a tramp and sought work in every
large city. east and west, and lived the
life of castaway and straying seek
er for odd jobs. The assistant pro-
fessor of political economy in the Uni
versity Of Princeton then went back to
his books and classes, and wrote The
| Worker" and the book attracted ma
tional attention.
Wykon will go on foot through Colo
RADIO and appear as plain working
man, and apply for work. He will
| spend considerable time among the coal
camps of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
! Company, where big sociological ex-
pertinent has been undertaken, and
also in the camps of the gold and sill
Yer miners, living with them and
studying the conditions of their life
and work. The Princeton professor
gained great popularity by his former
trip and book and is the center of
large group of admirers at Princeton,
Notwithstanding that the students
called him Weary Wykoff" and other
pet names designated to embelllsh his,
tramp life. He is thirty-seven years
old, and is leader in economic
thought in the country.

BIO CREArlERY FAILS
ELoIN IN HANDS OF A RECEIVER.

Company Operated 1856 creameries-

oo0ELargest Concern Of the Kind
In the Country.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE flgin Cream
cry Company, which operates 49,
creameries throughout Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin, failed yesterday. The
| creditors are estimated to number near.
ly 10000, over 5000 being farmers.
The American Trust and Savings
Bank was appointed receiver and its
bond fixed at 100000.
Just before the United States Court
closed in the afternoon petition of
bankruptcy directed against the com
pany was filed with the clerk and then
raken before Referee Sidney g. East
man, who entered the order for the ap-
pointment of the received. The assets
of the company are claimed to be
$S0O,O0O, while the liabilities are esti-
mated at x35O,O0O. Inability to realize
on outstanding accounts is given as
the couse of the failure.
The Elgin Creamery Company is the
largest concern of its kind in the Unit
ed States and was organized by the
plants throughout the country. Its
authorized capital stock is 100000.
OF this amount $275,vOC Is outstanding
and paid up.
The petition on which the affairs of
the concern were placed in the charge
Of the trust company charges that the
concern Is insolvent and that the
claims of the creditors enumerated in
the petition remain unpaid, although
long due. For the protection Of the as
sets of the company and the ultimate
payment Of the creditors, the appoint
ment of the receiver is asked.
AS soon as Referee Eastman had
read the petition he granted the motion
for the appointment of a receiver and
designated the American Trust and
Savings Bank. The receiver took pos
session of the Chicago offices and
agents will be sent at once in a dozen
different directions to take legal pos
session of the various plants of the
company. The plaintiff creditors kept
their action secret as far as possible,
in order to prevent attachments ON the
holdings of the company in other
states.
In order that heavy financial loss
may not be caused to the farmers de-
pendent on the company for the sale of
their milk. arrangements already have
been made by the receiver to continue
the operation of the various plants. No
tees to that effect will be sent out at
the same time the agents for the re-
ceiGer take legal possession Of the
creameries.
The company, ever since its Organi-
Zation, has almost controlled the
creamery business of the three states
in which it is operated. When it was
formed it took all the best independ-
ent concerns engaged in the manufac-
ture Of butter. Its affairs were gen.
orally thought to be in a fiOurishing
condition.
