The Opera House.

From now on until the close OF the
season theatre-goers of Lexington
will have the pleasure of seeing at
regular intervals a class Of plays far
above the average. Mr.. Haerle in
forms us that he has contracted with
nothing but guaranteed attractions,
including some of the most expensive
on the road today. OF course this
step is a bold one, but Mr.. Haerle
believes that the right attractions
will bring out the people, and in view
Of this fact has concluded TO take the
risk. We bespeak for him a liberal
patronage.

WORK OF DYNAMlTERS.
Unknown Parties Blow Up Northern
Pacific Tracks In Montana
and Wreck Trains.

Butte, Mont, Oct. IA Helena spe-
cial to the Miner says the Northern Pa
cifc suffered again Monday night from
the work Of the dynamiters. At 10: 30
p. M, when an extra west-bound freight
was three miles west of Birds Eye, a sta
ton eight miles west of Helena, the ex-
plosion occurred. AS a result OF it, q
portion OF the tracks was blown out, the
pilot Of the engine was blown of and so
was the headlight.
Fortunately the engineer was able to
stop the traia quickly and thus prevented
its being ditohed. No one was hurt, but
the roadbed was torn up badly and
freight trains were tied up until repairs
could be made.
News Of the outrage was received in
Helena by the railroad detectives short
ly after midnight, and at 1890 special
pulled out for tho scene Chief Of Detec-
tives MeF'etridge was in charge Of the par
ty which was composed OF several detec-
tives and sheri1s. In addition the six
Helena station for several days were
taken.
A special TO the Miner from Missoula
says: A report reached here early Tues
day morning that an engine pulling an
east-bound freight train was blown up
by dynamite ut Avon, ON the Northern
Pacific, Monday night The cab was
blown OF the engine and the fireman and
engineer narrowly escaped serious in

CABINET MEETING IS HELD
First Formal Gathering of Season
of President and Advisers.
Navy and Post once Depart
nents Are Discussed.

Washington, Oct. e-For nearly two
hours Tuesday the president and mem
bers OF his cabinet. now in the city.
were in consultation at the executive Of.
fees. It was the first formal meeting of
the cabinet since the conclusion OF the
presidents summer vacation. Secre-
taries Root, Hay and Hitchcock were
the only msmbers absent. While all
those present were reticent as to the de-
tails Of the meeting, it is known that
some matters OF importance, particu-
larly relating to the navy and post Office
departments, were under consideration.
The investigation Of the affairs Of tho
post ONCE department. which has been
In progress for many months, was stated
by Postmaster General Payne to be
practically concluded, although a few
matters OF Importance remain to be
cleared up. Mr.. Payne discussed
briefly the results Of the work, but made
nothing approximating a report upon
the Investigation.
Matters relating to ell the depart
ments Of the government which have
arisen during the summer were dis
cussed in informal way, but it is IN
derstood that no definite action was
taken regarding them.

CANNOT AGREE,
Minister Leishm an Still EndeavorinS
to Reach settlement with
Turkish Government.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Dispatches re-
ceived by the state department from
Minister Leishman indicate that he is
still endeavoring to reach a settlement
with the Turkish government concern
ing matters in which the United States
is interested, but that so far no satisfac-
tory arrangement has been made. Tur-
key wants the United States ships with
drawn from Beirut, but no orders have
been issued to that effect, and the state
department is not yet ready to ask the
navy department that they be ordered
elsewhere. AS matters now stand, it is
expected that one vessel of the Euro
pean squadron will go with Consul Cen
eral Skinner on his way to Abyssinia.
1t is the policy of the navy department
not to divide squadron unless neces-
sary, and it was thought that all ships
would go on this expedition, but unless
some change occurs in the situation in
Turkey the ships at Beirut will remain
and only the Machias will be sent with
Mr.. Skinner.

that while the damage to the work the

LAKE STEAMER is WRECKED.
The Erie Hackley Goes Down in a
Squall OFF Harinette, Wis.
Twelve Of the Twenty Persons on
Board the Ill-Fated Ship
Are Drowned.

Marinette, Wis, Oct. e-During a
squall Saturday night on Lake Michigan
the steamer Erie Haekley capsized and
II persons were drowned. The Good
rich line steamer Sheboygan rescued the
other nine persons on board the Hack
ley, after they had hoated about all night
on pieces Of Wreckage. The Hackley
was struck by the sQua1 when seven
miles of Green island. The upper work
was blown away before the men could
reach haven. The boat then turned
over and went down in deep water.
The drowned are:
Joseph Vorous captain of the Hack
ley; - Truchley, cook of the Hackley,
and the following passengers: Free
man Thorp, Fish Creek; Edna Bar
ringer, Fish Creek; Lawrence Barrin-
ger, brother OF Edna Barringer, Fish

Harbor; George Leclair, Jr, Jackson
port, Wis; N. F1tzsimmons, Jackson
port; Henry Rabbitor, Fish Creek:
Carl Kelky, Fish Creek; Nels Nelson.
Sturgeon Bay.
1t was several hours after the Hackley
sank before the Sheboygan hove within
hailing distance. The shouts Of the float
ing men attracted the attention of the
sailors on the Sheboygan, and every as
sistance was lent. The rescue was ef-
fected at a. m. The officers of the She
boygan feel sure that they took aboard
every person afoat. Some of the persons
who were rescued say that it is possible
that one or more Of the eleven persons
missing may have escaped death. This
view il not given much credence by the
sailors OF the Sheboygan. The Sheboy-
gan made into Fish Creek when hope OF
rescuing other persons seemed improba-
bic. The rescued persons were so ex.
hausted from their struggle against
drowning that they were unable for soma
time to tell anything about the wreck.
