"Way Out West" at the Lyceum.

The Ferris company has returned to
melodrama at the Lyceum this week, and
Sunday night people were turned away,
unable to secure even standing room. The
play presented is "'Way Out West"
curiously contrived plagiarism Of anony-
nous authorship, embodying ideas and
situations stolen from "Secret Service"
"Arizona'' 1.-The Girl I Left Behind Me-"
and, presumably, other dramas as well.
However, it serves it's purpose, despite the
fact that the work Of the playwright has
been badly done. for Sundays audience
applauded and shouted its approval
thu oughout, four acts. $3.50.
Of itself the piece is not worthy serious
consideration, although it tells an inter-
estlng tale and does not rely upon sensa-
tional stage effects to carry it to success.
The scenes are laid at Fort Gibson, /. T.
The characters are the soldiery, Indians.
a peddler, a cowboy and the women of the
post.
Mr.. Ferris appears in the dual roles Of
Captain Steve Griggsby. u. S. "A, and Sam
Griggsby, COW -puncher. The men are
supposed to be twin brothers who have
not met since childhood. For the pur-
poses of the plot Sam, who, Of course, ar
rives in the nick of time, is persuaded to
take his brothers place at the post, while
Steve breaks through the Indians lines
and carries a message of distress to Gen
eral Butler, who, like Sheridan upon a
similar occasion, is some twenty or more
miles away. Mr.. Ferris work in both
parts is eminently satisfactory.
AS usual, W.. H. Murdoch plays tho
heavy and plays it we'll Joseph Ran
some is effective as the colonel, and Burt
Mccain contributes an intelligent imper-
sonation of the Indian chief, Cross Dog.
w. D. Corbett Is stilted and unnatural as
the army chaplain, but the fault lies as
much with the playwright as the actor.
Miss Malsie Cecil presents an excellent
portrait Of an ingenious, roguish, fun
loving girl; and Grace Hayward is sue
cessful in the minor role Of an Indian
maiden. Miss Frances Murdoch has been
mis-cast as the coloneIs wife, and is not
adequate. III. S.1Lawrence. 3

sorry that she had asked Oakley to stay,

Mr.. Hills Stump Speech.

MIR. J. J. Hill delivered In Crookston ves-
terday what must be regarded as a demo-
cratic stump speech. 1t is we'll known that
Governor Van SAINTS anti-merger work
has been very popular with the former
popul1sts Of the Red River valley, and
that, in consequence, the Rosing vote In
that part Of the state will be very small
compared with the Lind vote Of 1900 and
1898. go
The people up there believe in Governor
Van SAINT because from sad experience
they are prejudiced against the railways.
The most promising way to offset this
prejudice was for Mr.. Fill to go to Crooks
ton, the capital Of the valley. and give
the farmers an ocular demonstration that
he has neither horns nor cloven foot.
MIR. Hill, being in politics is determined
to make good; SO his railways gave a
round trip rate Of 50 cents from all parts
Of the valley to Crookston and sixty extra
coaches were used to bring 5000 farmers
to town. These farmers were allowed to
look at the railway king, shake his hand,
and hear him talk, without charge When
they had been convinced that physically
Mr.. Hill is not unlike other men he de-
livered one of his stereotyped speeches in
which the superlative excellence Of the
Great Northern was emphasized and the
old Hill doctrine that thebest way to
regulate the railways is to let them alone,
was again put forth.
BE good to the railways" says Mr.. Hill
land they will be good to you"
He suggested to his auditors the idea
that the Minnesota side Of the Red River
had not developed so rapidly as the Da-
kota side because the people of\North Da-
kota had not been SO suspicious Of the
railways. Being translated this means
that in North Dakota the railways run the
state, while in Minnesota the state con-
trolls them. This was another shot at the
Van SAINT policy of making Mr. Hills
corporations comply with the law just
like other corporations and persons.
Mr.. Hill did not forget to remind his
auditors that the Great Northern is now
of men than it was paying few years
ago. He also told them that per cent
was the limit Of dividends on his system,
but made no promise not to further dilute
the stock.
It was a very clever move to have Mr..
Hill speak in Crookston at this time, but
the farmers up that way are not the &C
commodating sort that exchange votes for
the privilege OF "the presence ~

Senator Hoar said in a speech in Bos-
ton yesterday that In congressional cleo

Washington who Will uphold the president
or men who will harry him and try to
drive him from office. The people of the
country appreciate that fact so we'll, and
at the same time admire the president 50

HARVARD SHUT OUT.
Princeton outplaysd Crimson and Won
by Z to O.

In seven inning game. which was called
on account of RAIN Princeton defeated Har-
ward yesterday afternoon at Princeton by
the score Of to O. Four of these runs
Princeton made in the seventh inning, while
heavy rain was coming down. The other
three runs were made under a clear sky
Clarkson, Harvard's wonder, was pitted
against Stevens. and it must be said that
Stevens made the better showing Stevens
allowed two hits struck out five men, sent
two to base on balls and hit two. Clarkson
allowed six hits. struck out six men and
gave nine men their bases on balls.
This Is the only game Harvard and
Princeton will play together this season, and
so far as these two teams are concerned
Princeton may claim the lead. The third
Yale game at New York next Saturday will
decide the championship.
Princeton played a better game yesterday
than last Saturday against Yale Meier's
work was up to it's old standard. His long
fly to left field was the means of scoring
the first run of Steinwender's, who was
first man at bat for Princeton. Davis and
Wells scored in the second inning both Of
them getting their bases on balls and being
hit in.
The next scoring was in the seventh in
ming. when Meier brought in Steinwender
and Cosgrave by his nit to center field
Wells brought in Meier and Green brought
In Davis. The bat work of Green was espe-
cially good. Herman played a great game
for Harvard behind the bat.
