Francis Wilson in "The Toredaor"

Nixon & zmmerman's great company
headed by Francis Wilson presenting George
Edwardes London Gaiety Theatre success,
"The Toreador," will begin an engagement
at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,
Monday, September 22d. "The Toreador is a
musical comedy presented in two acts, with
scenes which represent flower store in the
Grand Hotel, Blarritz, France, and the plaza
of the town OF ViIlaya, in Spain Twas FIRST
produced at the Gaiety Theatre in London,
June 1901, and has held the stage at that
house since that time proving the greatest
hit Of all the famous George Edwardes' ef-
forts. The praise the piece and company re-
ceived at the time of its New York premiere,
and the extraordinary attendance It attracted
for five months, indicate that il will surpass
the unusual record for receipts made by its
English original.
Francis Wilson plays the part OF Sammy
Gigg, an English footman, sometimes callcd
"tiger" This role gives him the best op-
portunities of his entire stage career for the
display of that marvellous talent as a laugh
maker which has made him so famous
Through answering the advertisement Of al

Both Sides Firm as EVer-The End
Not in Sight.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 15-TOday
the 18th week of the coal strike
began. The reiteration by the
coal presidents last week that
no concessions would be made, and
the resolutions passed by nearly all
the local unions of the United Mine
Workers, renewing their allegiance to
their officers. and pledging themselves
to continue the strike until conces-
sions are granted, show that neither
side to the controversy Is weakening.
All sorts of rumors have been put
in circulation by the spokesman Of
the operators. as well as of the strik-
ers, both sides contending that the
conference early Saturday morning be-
tween Governor Stone and John
Mitchell and several of his lieutenants
has resulted to their advantage.
From the operators comes the story
that the conference proved a failure,
in that the officials of the union were
led to believe that Governor Stone
was authorized to make a proposition
looking toward settlement which did
not materialize. The strikers, on the
other hand, claim that a trump card
is still to be played, which will win
for them. Mitchell, Fahy, Nichols and
the others present from this section
refuse to give any information as to
what transpired at Harrisburg, but
some Of the local leaders declare thai
! legislation for the Improvement of The
workingman's condition was the topic
under discussion and some conclusion
were arrived at
The operators are coDceding tina
the present miners organization is tn
strongest yet known. and some 0
those who are in constant touch wit
the men acknowledge freely that tn
ranks are as unbroken now as at an
time during the strike. They marvS
at the tenacity of the strikers an
wonder where the money comes frol
that is sustaining the strikers an
their families. There does not appes
+ to be any unusual scarcity Of none
; in the coal regions, and it is now a
a knowledged by friends and foes alil
! that the miners are being well fe
+ and kept from want by the relief al

FARGo's GREAT DAY.
Grain and Cattle Growers Listen to
President J. J. Hill.

Grain and Cattle Growers Listen 20
President J. J. Hill.
Fargo, N. D., Jan. lit was a
great day at the Tri-State Grain and
Cattle Growers convention, which has
been in session here this week, the
two great features being the address
OF President Hill and the adoption OF
resolutions commencing him for his
work on behalf of the Northwest. The
resolutions were adopted almost unani-
mously by the convention prior to the
arrival of Mr.. Hill and an attempt was
later made to have those particular
resolutions stricken out, but the at
tempt failed and the resolutions stand
rs the sense of the convention.
Mr.. Hills address was mainly dis
cussion of the Northern Pacific-Great
Northern merger. The speaker de-
clared that the men now in control of
these lines were interested in the de-
yelopment and prosperity of the North
west and would do all in their power
to advance the welfare of the people
in their territory. In conclusion he
said:
81 hope in the future that with bet
ter methods of cultivation and more
knowledge of what is required your
condition may be constantly improved
and if your condition is improved ours
will certainly share it with you. AS
the volume of traffic increases our
rates will be reduced. Remember that
whatever helps you helps the railroad
and whatever hurts you or restricts
your growth restricts the growth of
the railroad serving you. We will al
ways prosper together or be poor to-
pether"

INDIAN SYSTEM WRONG.
Congressman Eddy Says Indians
Should be Kept in Constant Touch

With Civilization.
Washington, Jan. 10 -Congressman
Frank Eddy has some ideas about
dealing with the red man. He has
come to the conclusion that the present
system is fundamentally wrong. Mr..
Eddy says:
81 do not know whether it is too
late to change or not, but am inclin
ed to think change might still be
made to advantage. Up. to this time
the whole idea of the government
seems to have been to drive the .Indi-
ans together on reservations which
wereskept separate from the rest of the
world. For educational purpos es,
certain Indians are taken from these
aggregations at times and put into
schools. They are taught civilization
then they are taken back and put with
their fellow .tribesmen, as if with the
idea that they would leaven the whole
lump and uplift their people. Instead
of this happening, they themselves go
back and revert to barbarism. So the
race as whole has remained I'M
civilized, and the only solution of the
Indian problem seems to be in extinc-
tion.
CHOW, this is all wrong. It is
clearly demonstrated that the Indian
may be civilized. When he is brought
in contact with civilization he con-
tracts it and becomes decent, indus
trious, educated citizen. Therefore he
should be brought and kept in contact
with civilization. He should not be
sequestered. Instead of setting aside
reservations from which the white
man is excluded, as if by high, i'm
passable wall, the Indian should be
forced to dwell alongside of whites.
"If had my way, Indian reserva-
tions would be divided into alternate
sections; every other section would be
opened to settlement for home
steaders. Thus the Indian would be
brought into close and constant touch
with civilization. He would see how
things are done. He would be en-
ployed on the farms and in the mines
| and factories of the settlers, and would
learn to go and do likewise on his
land. The Indian will work but al
present he will not work continuously.
He will make a stake and then &c
off and spend it. He is not regarded
as the equal of white labor; but the
Indian is largely the creation of his
environment. If supported he will
not work and will not try to learn.
Neither can he learn in a minute te
overcome all the faults of his ancestry
and breeding; but when brought into
a proper environment he is capable Of
making a good citizen, and it is the
fault of the government if he is moi

CHICAGO TO LA CROSSE.
st. Paul Road Will Double Track the
Entire Distance.

Chicago, Jan. improvements
have been planned by the manage
ment of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul road for the coming year
which will cost between $5,000,000 and
$8,000,000. The most important i'm
provement which is announced by
President Earling is the double track
ing of the La Crosse division, which
extends from Milwaukee to La Crosse,
distance of 1877 miles. Work will
be begun upon this as soon as ground
can be broken in the spring and will
be finished inside of two years. The
cost of this betterment will be lit
tie under $5,900,000. Upon completion
of this second track the st. Pauls
Chicago-St. Paul line will be double
tracked between Chicago and La
Crosse, distance of 282 miles.

TAX REPORT READY.
Placed in the Hands of the Governor
Today.

IOuoys
Minneapolis Journal:
By tonight the labors of the Mime
sofa tax commission will be ended and
their report will be presented to Gov
ernor Van SAINT tomorrow on his re-
turn from Iowa.
The report will consist of two parts,
the bill, or tax code, to be submitted
to the legislature. and an explanatory
report. the bill consists of 800 Sec
tions, about go, 600 words in all. The
report will be about one-third as long.
It will explain the conclusions to
which the commission arrived, and
will recommend constitutional amend
ments. The bill necessarily follows the
lines of the present constitution, and
has hampered the commission, which
has some more advanced ideas. 1t is
sought to pave the way for these re-
forms by changes in the constitution.
One of the most important features
of the new tax law will be the creation
of permanent tax commission. 1t
will take the place of the board of
equalization, and do more than that
body now has the power to do.
Today is being spent in a.careful re-
vision of the final drafts of bill and re-
port. Governor Van SAINT will put
them into the hands of the state prin-
ter at once, and within a few days
copies will be in the hands of every
member of the legislature.
On account of the many important
changes in the tax laws embodied in
the new code, it Is foregone conclu-
sion that an extra session of the legis-
lature will be called to meet.some time
in February. ........
