In conclusion Mr.. Robinson says:
"The year 1902 is the sixth in which
South Dakota has surpassed all of the
other states IN per capita production
of new wealth. II is a good boast. I'M
questionably supported by the actual
productions. and is q. conclusive indi-
cation CT the opportunities open to en-
terprising men here. South Da k)ta
has large productive capacity, not yet
one-half developed. while II has but
small population to share in the prod
uct; hence, the exceptional adyant-
age"

The following morning he was found
dead In the abandoned part.
The piece of rope with which Gingrich
killed himself was three strands Of a
torn corn sack which had been braided
together. 1t was so tightly drawn that
death must have been quick.

to stockholders of the Southern Pacific
company asking for proxies to be voted on
at the coming annual meeting of the
company. Mr.. Taylor is a son-in-law OF
James R. Keene. the reputed manager of
the speculative pool in Southern Pacific,
which 1t is understood have objected to
the policy of the Union Pacific in control
of the Southern Pacific in deferring divi-
dends on Southern Pacific stock.
The circular issued by Talbot J. Tay-
Tor Co. says that over $50, 5000 has
been expended for reconstruction. better
ments and improvements on the Southern
Pacific, but that the operating expenses
continued to be from 10 to 10 per cent
higher than on any other road compet-
ing for trans-continental business, which
the circular declares Indicates either
gross acknowledgement or wilful intention
to deceive the stockholders as to the true
net earnings of the company, and by this
means depress the market value of the
stock"
The circular further sets forth that
vast sums are being expended on the
Central Pacific out of Southern Pacific
1uluS " the uelIiHlent VI the ooulnefn I a
cific main line and that the stockholders
will discover when too late, that a most
formidable rival has been built UP with
their own money"
1t Is further alleged that Talbot j. Tay-
lor & Co., after careful examination, are
convinced that the Southern Pacific earn
ings would have justified dividends on
the stock for the past year and still have
left money enough for improvements and
betterments to bring in a reasonable
time the system up to the highest state
of efficiency, and still enhance itself"

A sorely disappointed audience lett the

down on the last act of Foxy ouiiler'
as played by Richard Golden ana poor
company Last season this musical COM
edy made decided hit with birmingham
theatre goers. At that time strong ana
capable company. appeared before large
audience. The marked comparison, IN
which last nights performance sunereo
greatly, was commented on as the play
proceeded and after 1t was over.
Richard Golden Is not bad ACTOR
perhaps, but when he attempted to follow
in the wake of Jerome Sykes he maze
rnistage. Golden's facial expressions
were good at times, but his lines were
poorly delivered and his acting could not
well have been worse. In otner WORDS
parts and sayings intended to be prlght
and comical fell fat.
The entire performance Lacked spirit
Listlessness seemed to be in every hne'
in every movement, in every song. The
chorus was weak and 1t struggled on and
off the stage, but the singing had one re-
deeming feature in Miss Rosemary Glosz'
who has really good voice and a pleas
ing stage appearance.
On whole Foxy Qulller" as presented
last night was failure During the en-
tire performance only one encore was
offered by the audience.

that an operas success is held In the bal

Foxy Quiller" the opera-is popular In
Birmingham. but it must necessarily re-
ceive the coolest kind of a reception when
presented by such companies as essayed
to handle 1t at the Jefferson on last even-
ing.
1t was stated by the management pri-
vately after the performance that Mr.
Golden had been suffering from an attack
of rheumatism for several days and that
this accounts for his unusually poor act
ing. He will probably be in good form
before he reaches the next stand.
