The Great Hermann.

The great and only Hermann comes
to the Elks theater. Thursday. Septem
ber II in his magnificent exhibition OF
magic and occult phenomenon. The
critical theatre-goers of the United
States have long since endorsed the
marvellous work Of this Great Herr
mann, and it is safe to say that as an
entertainer in magic aad sensational
illusions his standard is absolutely Sc
sure as being the foremost surveyor
of this style Of entertainment on the
American stage. Novelties in magic
are as essential to success as in the
field of the drama, and it is probably
to this one fact that Herman always
presents something new and startling,
something that starts the tongues ta
wagging in the cities ne visits as We
as to the marvellous deXteritv W :
which these feats are performed th1t
much of his success is due.

Sayler came along and took fancy
IA Mrs Hastings. Then trouble began.
Sayler was a fine looking man, with
esaMethiug aggressive about him that
usually gave him his own way.
Que evening Sayler asked Hastings

out safely but the affair came to his
Wlfe's ears. In vain he pleaded innO-
ss1aee and asserted that Sayler had

When Sayler was with her she did as
he said; when he was absent she be-
came undecided, and indecison is wear

Sayler somewhere else.
When Hastings got the cha lenge that
he was a month working for. his reply
was ready. AS the challenged party he
had the choice of terms. He sent Il re-
ply that these terms were six cham

Sayler sent a reply that no one could
be expected to fight under terms that
meant death probably to both parties,
and he considered the matter at an end
Hastings sent word that death was ex-
actly what he meant and what he
would have sooner or later. Then he
resumed his insults.
BY this time the friends of both par
ties began to get an inkling as to what
was the trouble and sympathy went
with Hastings Sayler began to look
careWorn. AL his aggrcssiveness was
gone, he ceased to talk loud and yolu-
bly,, he went about with a hangdog
look. Meanwhile he had discontinued
his visits to Mrs. Hastings
Then came the last insult of the
series. Hastings, meeting his enemy
in the club, said to him publicly:
"You're a coward and won't fight,
but I'll make you fight before l get
through with YOU
Tie next day Sayler sent a friend to
Hastings to know what would satisfy
him. Hastings replied that he could
only be appeased by Sayler's leaving
the country under a written promise
not to communicate With Mrs. Hast
ingS and never return. Then there
were negotiations in which Sayler tried
to get better terms. He failed, Hast
ings standing firm in requiring either
death or absence. Finally Sayler yield
eel, sold out his business and went to
England, leaving paper in Hastings
hands generating Mrs. Hastings and
agreeing never again to see or commu-
nicate with her.
Hastings took the paper home, told
his wife what he had been doing and
showed her the paper. She was not
only astonished. but could not under
stand how she had been oblivious to so
much resolution in the one man and
lack of manliness in the other. She
would have given worlds to undo what
she had done and regain her husbands

said. "You and l will live together as
husband and wife for their sake"
AS years rolled by and Hastings be-
came convinced that there had been
nothing criminal on the part of his
wife he forgave her.
Thus was family saved from a per-
petual horror by the resolution of it's
head. 1t goes to show that a timid
man may under a great stimulus be

 Wicked and unforgivable as is the wrong done. the republican party, yet from the point of view of the highest citizenship there Is but one thing to be done and that is for the people to accept the deplorable situation and for the gov- ernor of the state to Issue a certificate of election to Teller"
 Wolcott says that In no sense was Tel Ter a party to the frauds, and pays com pliment to the senator's integrity and ability.
 Henry M. Teller, who was elected for his sixth term in the United States sem ate yesterday at joint legislative session in which only democrats participated, left the city today for his country place at Grand Junction
 Governor Peabody. who went to Canyon City to spend Sunday at home, was a pas senger on the same train. The two men met in the train and Goverr.r Peabody extended congratulations to the senator.
 My election, I feel sure, was perfectly legal and regular,' said Senator Teller, in conversation with friends, flor I suc- ceeded in getting the majority vote of both houses. I am entitled to a certificate from the governor, and expect 1t. but if fall to secure the governors credentials shall be able to take my case before the senate, nevertheless.
 When asked if he would sign a certifi- cate of election for Senator Teller, Gov ernor Peabody replied:

Caracas. Venezuela, January 25.-The Associated Press correspondent has been making inquiries with view to ascer- taining whether the German gunboat Panther or Fort San Carlos fired the first shot.
 The foreign minister said:
 "The Panther on January r attacked the fort first without provocation. The gunboat approached the fort and fired on it. We can guarantee that the attack was premeditated and planned in Berlin. The proof of this assertion is letter We received on the morning of January l6 from Cuaracao, and which President Castro retains in his possession, notifying us that San Carlos would be attacked between January Is and January IS, that is to say, before the arrival of United States Minister Bowen at Washington. Another proof that the attack was pre- meditated is the circumstances that Gen. eral BelIo, who is in command of the fortress, received no notification as to the object of the Panther in approaching the fortress similar to the written ulti- matum that the Germans transmitted through the United States consul to the Venezuelan representative at Puerto Ca- belIo, when Fort Libertador was shelled"
 The letter referred to above has been communicated to certain legations.

Denver, Col, January 25.-Former Sem ator E. o. Wolcott, candidate for United States senator of the 'stalwart' wing of the republican party, tonight announced his withdrawal from any further contest. and urged the people of Colorado to ac- cept the reelection of Senator Henry M. Teller by the joint session of the dem ocratic senators and representatives.
 The announcement was made In a sign ed statement in which wolcott charges certain republican leaders associated with the anti-Wolcott forces in the republican ranks, with treachery, deliberate and con- tinuous. although he disposes of others of the anti-Wolcott partisans by characteriz- ing them as "dupes'' of the main con- spirators He refers to the refusal of the anti-Wolcott members of the house to unseat the democratic members from Arapahoe county, and calls 1t "crime against the republican party and against justice" Wolcott declares that Lieuten- ant Governor Haggott. when he withdrew from the senate chamber, and, with less than a dozen senators whose seats were undisputed, organized another senate, was assured of support by his associates in the state government which support fell away from him." however.
 Continuing. Wolcott says:
 There were three joint sessions of the general assembly. At the last one fifty one democrats voted for Teller No other joint session had been held and no re- publican had voted in a joint session. The election of Teller was tinctured with fraud. There is. however. no other legal

 Investigation at Maracaibo.
 Maracaibo. January 25.-The United States legation has been conducting an in- vestigation here for the past six days. but the point as to whether the Panther or Fort San Carlos fired the first shot has not yet been elucidated.
 A reliable person says
 ''The foreign element, who are in close touch with the civil authorities, know that Fort San Carlos had received orders from Caracas that in case the Panther at- tempted to cross the bar and pass be- fore the fortress, the latter was to fire on the German vessel, first with powder to call attention. When on January 15 the Panther entered the narrow channel inside the bar, four miles from the fort ress, heading for the interior of the lake the fortress fired round of blank shot. Then seeing after the third blank shot that the intention of the Panther was to pass up the channel and force passage past the fortress to gain Lake Maracaibo and capture the Venezuelan gunboat Miranda, the fortress fired with shell and instantly the Panther, at 1900 yards, answered with twelve guns, fol- lowed by hundreds of shots. It is report cd also that the Panther carried red. flag as the signal. but as the fortress possessed no signal code and could not interpret the red flag as a peace symbol, white being the color of parliamentary flag, it regarded the action of the Pan- ther as a premeditated aggression"
 All is quiet here today. The Panther is still blockading outside the bar.

INVES1IGA1ION AS TO
 WHICH FIRED THE FIRST
 SHOT, TORT OR PANTHER

Cardenas, President Castro's secretary
 pr. Cardenas was at first unwilling to discuss the matter, but afterwards said
 '"rhe Panther attacked first. We have proof of It. Germany may try to explain hei conduct by asserting that the fort fired on the vessels first, but we deny it. It was not the fortress which is immove- able that called on the Germans No, it was the Panther which w;s enforcing the blockade outside the bar six miles from the fortress, which one morning came and attacked the fortress. Why should we attack? Have we tried, since Decem- Der, to trouble the Germans. English or Italians, notwithstanding their aggressive policy? Our role was finished a fort night ago. Mir. Bowen, the United States minister, represents our interests and we were patiently and silently awaiting the result of his mission, when this sad event occurred. Compare the conduct of Eng land and Italy with Germany's system of enforcing the blockade. You will see that the latter alone has interest in creating trouble"
 The Venezuelan war minister said "The report that we fired first on the Panther is stupid. Venezuela. being aware that the guns of the fortress were inferior and of shorter range than the German guns, had learned by the experi- ence of the shelling of Puerto Cabeilo that

Washington, January 25.-The house of representatives today inaugurated the ex- pertinent of holding memorial services for deceased members upon the Sabbath. It will be followed hereafter during this Ses- sion and probably will become the gem eral practice in the house in the future.
 Heretofore except on very rare oeca- sions, the house has broken in on it's executive work Friday and Saturday to listen to eulogies on the deceased. but the time has seldom been propitious and latterly the practice has been meeting with growing disfavor. On account of the pressure of public business at this session, it was decided to hold these me- morial sessions on Sunday and during the course of their eulogies today several members took occasion to voice theic commendation of the innovation and to express their opinion that 1t should be followed in the future.

"DAWsoN CITY" IN PORT.
Vessel Had Tempteuous Voyage.
 Marked by Many Accidents.

Port Townsend. Washington. January 25.-The steamer Dawson City. eighty-six days from Nome, reached Port Townsend today under sail after a tempestuous voy- age. The entire trip was marked by q succession of accidents and exasperating delays while the fury of the clements seemed to combine to hinder her pas sage to her destination. Soon after start ing south. the boilers commenced leaking with the result that the fresh water sup ply was consumed. Then fuel began to run short and the vessal was forced to resort to such canvas abroad as could be fashioned into sails.
 The vessel ran into Port Moller for fuel and water and after remaining swo weeks started again. only to run into a fierce storm which drove her from her course Again fuel ran out so the Dawson City headed for Dutch Harbor to refill her bunkers and tanks. At this port her sailors deserted and refused to continue the voyage. The run from Dutch liar bor to this port was made In twenty-two days, which is considered a very good showing. considering the weather and the facilities for handling the vessel.
 The Dawson City brought no passen- gers except her owner, Felix Brown of Seattle, and his wife
