PASSED A BAD CHECK.
Neil Burgess Had Money Coming, but
Couldn't Wait

Neil Burgess Had Money Coming, but
Couldn't Wait.
Neil Burgess was arraigned before
Justice Macarthur Monday morning on
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses and the case was set
for hearing next Monday. The war
rant for his arrest was sworn out by
H. G.. Powell, night clerk at the Kali
ispell hotel, who claims that Burgess
induced him to cash fraudulent
check for $40. The check was made
payable to E. F. Tompkins and was
drawn on the First National bank of
this city, and was signed by Burgess.
Burgess claims that he has several
hundred dollars coming to him from
the estate of a deceased relative i'll
Indiana and that he has been expect
ing the money every day for the past
week, and that he made out the check
to tide him over until it arrived, think
ing his money would be at the bank
before the check was presented. He
says he intended to make the amount
good and would have done so if he
had not been disappointed by the non
arrival of his money.
When arraigned Monday morning
his attorney asked for further time to
plead and the case was continued un-
til next Monday in accordance with
this request.

Children" said the teacher, while
instructing the class in composition
you should not attempt any flights
OF fancy, but simply be yourselves
and write what is in you. Do not
initiate any other persons writings

sources" AS a result of this advice
Johnny Wise turned in the following
composition:

THE STORY A CANARD.
Oil Has Not Yet Been Struck by the
Butte Company.

John o. Bender, who has charge OF
the operations of the Butte Oil com
pany at Kintla lake, was in the city
yesterday. While inclined to be reti-
cent in regard to the operations of
the drill, Mr.. Bender denied emphat-
ically the rumor that has been in cir
culation to the effect that oil had been
struck. He said the drill was down
to a depth of about $50 feet, and il
is probable that twice that depth
would have to be gained before oil
would be found.
The prospects were very favo, able
and there was no doubt but what the
work done by the company would he
crowned with success. Mr.. Ben0eT
will remain in town until tomorro "
night.

Columbia Theater.

-Denman Thompson and his fine old coun-
try classic THE Old Homestead" will be-
gin weeks engagement at the Columbia
Monday night. From Maine to California
people have enjoyed this homely drama.
The younger generation Is falling in love
with it today, just as an older one did
when 1t was first produced seventeen
years ago. Mr.. Thompson makes Uncle
Josh the dearest old fellow imaginabie-a
simple, sincere, honest. warm-hearted and
courageous old countryman, who recalls to
every one in his audience some similar
character of his country home.
1t is characteristic of The Old Home
stead that it does not appeal altogether
as a play, but rather as a story of real life,
in which the theater itself seems sub
merged in the scenes and the company to
have entirely merged their own Identities
into those of the characters.
Many of the company have been playing
their parts so long that they are almost
as closely identified with the play as the
star himself. Charles Carter will be the Cy
Prime; Charles Clarke, Seth Perkins; Mrs.
Louisa Morse, Aunt Matilda; Fred. Glare,
Happy Jack; Frank Knapp, the country
lout Eb GanZey; Annie Thompson, Ricketty
Ann; Ethel Ormonde, Annie Hopkins, and
the rest of the characters in competent
hands. The famous double quartet will
be heard in the familiar rendering of 1.-THE
Old Oaken Bucket" and When the Corn Is
Waving" and the grand choir of twenty
mixed voices is promised to be as impress
sive as usual in the Grace Church scene.
Alfred Kappefer. Washington boy, Will
sing the Palms"
Mr.. Thompson promises complete scenic
environment with all the quaint character
istics that have made the production nota-
BILE in the past. The popular scale of prices
adopted will be In vogue for all the per-
formances. The regular matinees will be
given on Thursday and Saturday.

CoflING ATTRACTIONS
New National Theater.

1.-The Wild Rose" sponsored by Manager
George w. Lederer, will be seen at the
New National Theater next Monday. 1t is
the work of Harry B. Smith and George v.
Hobart, written to Ludwig Englanders mu-
sic.
The most prominent performers in the
company are Eddie Foy, Albert Hart, Rose
Beaumont, JUNE McCree, Pearl Landers,
Carrie Perkins, W. Wallace Black and
George Ali The ensemble numbers four
score.
Like most pieces of it's kind. THE Wild
Rose" defies analysis. 1t is described as
being a kaleidoscope mingling of pretty
women. pretty costumes and frothy music,
which ranges from the coon song to the
enticing rhythms of Vienna dances, the
whole seasoned by burlesque situations
more or less comic and by specialties which
take the place of the plot when the latter
is lost sight of. For there is plot, which
concerns the attempt of Romany sutton
to win a bride against her consent, her
failure because of the inevitable handsome
army officer, the rescue Of the lady from
the gypsy camp by various amusing de-
vices, and her ultimate restoration to the
high station in life from which she had
been taken as child.
The two central characters in the story
are a gypsy fakir (played by Eddie Foy)
and Rose Romany, the belle of the tribe.
At the opening of the play this fakir has
just been dismissed by a travelling hypno-
tist whose factotum he was. Immediately
preceding his appearance jealous sibyl OF
the tribe has drugged the nuptial stew to
prevent the wedding. The fakir. asked to
explain his presence in the camp and
threatened with death if he fails to explain
satisfactorily, boldly claims the power OF
his former boss. The gypsies say they VIII
onstrate his claim There will be Wednes-
day and Saturday matlneeS.

Conductor Scheel.

Herr Fritz Scheel, conductor Of the Phfla-
delphia Orchestra, was born in Lubbock,
Germany, where his father was director of
a municipal musical corps, and when less
than ten years of age he became sufficiently
proficient as violinlst to occupy one OF
the desks among the first violins of his
fathers orchestra. In his tenth year he
began the conducting Of juvenile orches-
ira of his own formation, giving concerts
which were very well received, and playing
concertos and solos which attracted con-
siderable attention. His father and sew
eral friends sent him to Leipsig, where he
became the pupil of Ferdinand David, and
after studying here for some time his earn
est work and his talent were rewarded by
an engagement as concertmeister Of the
Bremen City Orchestra. At the age of
twenty-one he was made solo violinist and
director of the Court Orchestra at Schwe-
rim, and later he accepted the conductor
ship OF the city orchestra, Chemnitz, Sax
ony, where he remained for nine years
having under his control band of seventy
two men and chorus of 900 voices. Dur
Ing this time he gave Bachs Matthews"
Handers Messiah" and LISTS ''Christus"
In this manner he attracted much atten-
ton in Germany, and it was by holding
this position that he came in close con-
tact with Joachim, Wilhelm, Seraste,
Brahm. Won Bulow and several others. In
1880 he was called to Hamburg, and alter
nately conducted with Hans Won Bulow the
Announcements" concert. In 1885, however,
he came to this country to attend the
worlds fair where he led the concert at
the Trocadero. At the close Of the fair he
went to San Francisco to conduct the mid
winter fair concert. and later became con-
ductor Of the San Francisco Symphony So
ciety. He came east, conducting several
concerts, finally settling in Philadelphia,
where he was made conductor of the Phila-
delphia symphony Society," and later of the
Philadelphia Orchestra.
Kocian, the Bohemian violinist, seems to
have made notable triumph in New York.
He Is said to be great violinist, with the
promise OF being much greater; to be abb
solutely free from affectation, and to have
"won out" in spite of the favorable press
notices foreign managers mailed to New
York He Is one worth hearing, because he
is a most gifted exponent OF the art Of vio-
lin playing.
