ANOTHER GOOD
BILL AT LAKESIDE
A Good Audience, Too Notwith'
standing the Rain.

Through the rain, the people went
to Lakeside park casino last night, and
the house was we'll filled. The even
ings entertainment was excellent.
Leonora wicke is pretty girl with
q charming voice and the way she ID
liked is shown by the generous ap-
plause given her. she is followed
by Mat Farnan, comical little Irish
man, who does some clog dnncing that
is a revelation to many old theatre
soers ana the rhythm of his perfectly
timed steps goes with one when leav-
Ing the theatre. Those who are fond
OF really good dancing should not fall
to see this clever performer.
The exhibition of trick cycling put
on by Powers Brothers. would ordi-
narily be conventional display of
expert bicycle riding, but the Powers
are not ordinarily chaps; and they
have taken advantage Of a certain
well known newspaper feature to make
their act singularily attractive. Re
ference is made to the Alphonse and
CASTOR conceit, which has become as
popular in way as the yellow kid
OF q few years. ago. The Powers were
quick to see that Alphonse and CASTOR
had got great deal of publicity, so
they took up many of the peculiarly
polite sayings Of the two Gallo char
acters, and exchange them freely
while they are giving their exhibition
on the wheels.
Threlkeld and Wicke, in their com.
| edy musical act, produce lots of fun
and plenty of sweet music. The act
is a drawing card.
Lizzie Wilson, German dialect
comedienne, is good. Her songs and
funny sayings are the best yet in her
line.
The conversational comedy act
OF Forester and Floyd was not in the
least hackneyed. The singing Of For
rester made strong hit, and Miss
Floyd was equally as good in her part.
They were recalled again and again
Rio Brothers, three in number, close
the show with a wonderful athletic
exhibition Of strength and ability
One does not recall any similar act
II there is one. There are features
which seem impossible.

Arrested Charged With

Canton, O., July 29.-Will'am Craw-
ford an employe of the Barnett house,
has been arrested on the suspicion of
having murdered Vincent Hill, citi-
zen of Cairo, o., who was found dead
Saturday morning in a room at the ho-
tel. Hills skull was crushed near the
base of the brain and his face was
badly cut and bruised. He was known

found his clothing had been rifled.
Cawford, young man of 20 years.
came to Canton from Salem last We'd
nesday and secured a job as porter at
the hotel. He said that he was broke"
and wanted work, On the morning af-
ter the murder he was foolish enough
to deposit S25 with the clerk. This and
other suspicious circumstances caused
his arrest just as he was in the act
Of leaving the city. Crawford occupied
a room near the one in which the mur-
dered man was found. Persons in the
suite Immediately below state thar

Crawford crept in upon the sleep

of revolver or some other weapon.
Hill was intoxicated when he went
to his room Friday night and probably
proved an easy victim.

Tacoma, Wash, July 29.--Oriental
advices describe an appalling number
of suicides of young women in South

wholesale suicides have caused much
alarm and the authorities are exerting
strict measures TO avert them. The
