Smoke Dlsturhs
Theater Audience

Shortly after the curtain went up
on the first act Of Mrs. Patrick Camp
BELLS performance Of "Magda" at the
Spokane theater last evening the au-
dience was startled by volumes of
smoke, which seemed to rise from
the orchestra and which rolled across
the stage. No one raised an alarm
and the fears of the audience subsid-
ed as the players coolly went ahead
with their work.
The smoke gradually disappeared,
although it was dense enough at
times to dim the view of the audi
ence.
1t was learned later that the I'M
usual incident was caused by the set
ting on fire of some paper In the
furnace. The latter being clogged up,
the smoke came out into the building.
Mrs. Campbell after the play took
luncheon with Ernest Leverson and
Miss Leverson at the Spokane hotel,
after which she went to her train
and left for Montana.

land on which to move the following
year. This year has been a backward
spring in the east and farmers have
not been able to get in their crops
until about now. Therefore they have
been unable to start west.
AS there has been no announcement
of continuance of these rates the
rush is being crowded into this
month. However, others will not be
able to get away until later in the
summer and it is for this reason that
the homeseeker rates will be con-

threw them In the waste basket.
Hardly had she done so when the
negro came back. rushed at the wom-

could do with city government to

The influx of eastern people has set

houses is becoming a serious prob

hope of immediate relief.
