On Friday. March Goth will be realiZ.
ed one OF the most unique and splendid
entertainments ever enjoy ed by Medi-
cine Lodge people. Mason & Downs
~Orpheus Jubilee Singers, composed OF
nine fine colored musicians will thor
Oughly delight the audience. Each and
every member Is an old time jubilee
singer. They are superior TO any on
the road. The great variety of their
work commends them to all. The solo
work of Miss Pulliam, Mr.. Chas. Downs
and Mr.. Arthur Payne; the male quar-
4ette, the choruses, plantation songs,
jubilee songs and double quartettes all
make a high class and popular and en-
joyable entertainment.
They have sung at many chautauquas

tice. They must be seen and heard to
be appreciated. They Will be enjoyed
by the Colorado Chautauqua for anoth-
er season to fill an entire week. ImOst
heartily commend them to the Lyceums
and Chautauquas eyerywhere.-Homer
Wilson, general manager Colorado
Chautauqua.
A Company that can occasion such
comment Is indeed excellent.
Here are also some press comments:
The fourth entertainment in the Ly-
-eeum course was given at the Christian
church Thursday evening, Mason &
Downs Orpheus Jubilee Singers giving
the entertainment. 1t was one of the
most satisfactory entertainments that
has been given in the city for some
time. The beautiful harmonies brought
out in the chorus work took the older
members OF the audience back to the
memorable time when the Tennessee
Jubilee Singers gave an entertainment
OF this character in the college chapel
over 20 years ago, which is always
brought to mind IN the rendition of
~'Steal Away to Jesus" and Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" The manage
ment are to be congratulated on the
success OF the entertainment.-C
thage, 1Il.) Republican.
The management does not hesitate to
say that outside of Mr.. Dixon, this
number is far the best that we have
offered the people this year. No COM
pany has come to US more highly COM
mended and we feel certain that no at
traction has been more popular and
unique than this will be. Remember
that it is included in the course and all
=season ticket holders will be entitled to
the same privileges as all the rest. The
reserved seats will be on sale Saturday
morning March 14th, at 8 O'Clock. In
order to get seats you must be on time.
The country people should not fail to
get their tickets On that Saturday.
We expect to have 100 extra chairs In
the opera house but even then it is
doubtful whether there are seats
enough, so do not fail to get your seats
IN time.

THE RUsE

Jane was frantic. Less than an
hour! What could she do?
She and Bessemer had been an un-
pardonable length of time away from
their guests, and the major portion
of them were only awaiting their APP
pearance to make adieus. Many
precious minutes were wasted in
listening to good-byes and the usual
compliments upon the evening. At
length, however, she shook herself
free and turned in search of her
brother. She found him draping
Mistress Peggy Winston's shawl about
her shoulders and tying her hood be-
meath her chin preparatory to de-
departure. With a hurried word OF
apology, she drew him aside and &C
quainted him with Godfrey's impend-
ing fate.

you do something to gain him at least

Her brothers brow contracted, and

FIRE DESTROYS AN OCEAN VESSEL

Goderich, Ont, special.-The en-.
plosion of a lamp in the engine room
of the steamer Pfohl on Lake Huron
set fire to the ship at noon yesterday
and totally destroyed it.
After fighting the flames for eight
hours, the plucky crew of the vessel
were driven to take refuge in the
~lifeboats, and within an hour the
steamer sank, almost within sight of
Goderich. One lifeboat was picked up
by a rescuing party from shore and
the others are being sought neal the
scene of the disaster. 1t is believed
that all the crew are safe.
The Pfohl, which carried a cargo of
coal, was bound for owen Sound.
The explosion in the vessels hold
was followed by a small panic among
the 20 men composing the ships crew.
The engineers were driven from their
places by names and gas, which also
drove the fremen from the stokehold.
Captain Symes took charge Of the
crew and organized a fire brigade.
With flames filling the engine room
1t was impossible to work the ships
pumps, and buckets were used. BY
the middle of the afternoon all the
Lighthouses aft were ablaze, but still
the sailors fought to check the fire.
Buckets were passed from man to
man from the side Of the steamer, and
a constant stream of water was di-
rected against the fire.

Figures for the Year VIII Nearly
Req Oh a Million Majority

OFFICIALS SHOW CONCERN
The Number of Immigrants Surpasses
that of 1SS2---More Rigid
Laws are Urged

Washington, D. G. Especially All pre-
vious records of the number of i'm
migrants arriving in the United States
will be broken this year if there is no
failing off in the food of newcomers
seeking homes here. The large num-
Der of immigrants is due directly to
the prosperous condition Of the coun.
try and to the activity on the part Of
agents of the steamship companies.
During the ten months of the cur
rent fiscal year up to April 80, 1903,
the number of immigrants was go, 10
as against GAS, FAB for the entire prev
ious year. During last April the new
corners numbered 1926 as against
95,607, or an increase Of 30,679 over
the same period last year. The aver
age number of arrivals for ten months
this fiscal year was 62,071, but during
recent months the actual number of
arrivals has been double the aver
age. If this enormous influx continu-
es the immigrants officials say the
number for the year will be at least
$50 900, and if there is a reasonable
increase the total for the year may be
close to 100000
The highest number of immigrants
anne to the United States during 1882
when the figures were 7SS, 1892. Some
TREASURY officials assert that more rig
i'd laws relating to immigration should
be adopted at once, as such a large in
crease in the foreign population can
not be well assimilated especially as a
heavy percentage of immigrants is
from southern Italy and forms a dis,
turbing element. Quite a large per.
centage was debarred during April,
the number being 1,120.
There has been an increase in i'm
migrants from practically every nation
III the world, the exceptions being Aus
tria-Hungary, Roumania and Japan.
Even the Chinese, who are forbidden
by law to come to the United States,
have increased their population here.

REPORT CONCERNING JEWSISLOST

Milwaukee, Wis, May 27.-Dr. Wal
ter Kempster makes the startling
statement that a report which he
made as a commissioner of the Unit
ed States government appointed to
investigate the condition of the Jews
in Russia at the time of the last exc
dus, in 1891, and ordered printed by
the congress of the United States, was
suppressed, and all Of the government
edition made way with and destroyed
by Russian representatives in Wash
ington.
He said that he had received letters
from United States senators and con-
gressmen and officials of the govern
ment asking him where they could OBJ
tain copies Of the report, but neither
he nor they were ever able to fathom
what became of the government edi-
ton.
1.-THE government ordered 10000
copies printed, and I ordered 100 for
private use," said DR.. Kempster. 81

eminent edition disappeared and no
one to this day seems to be able to
tell what became Of it. l learned af-
ter the report was issued that it was
substantially cabled to st. Petersburg

try"
Or. Kempster visited Europe after
the publication Of the report, and it

Washington, May 81. - The state
ment of DR.. Walter Kempster, of Mil.
waukee, last night, that the entire,
government edition Of 10000 copies Of
stroyed through Russian agencies, is
the report made by him on the condi-
ton of the Jews in Russia in 1891,
has disappeared, intimating 1t was de-
not ~substantiated by the records OF
the government printing office. Only
5000 copies were printed, which were
placed to the credit of the senators
and representatives in the usual way
and distributed through them. Some
of the reports still stand to the credit
of congressman.

Shortly before dark the discovery
was made that the fire had secured
a hold in the ships cargo. The decks
heated rapidly, driving the men on
board toward the forward end of the
craft. Meanwhile the engines, though
surrounded by flames, had driven the
boat steadily onward, and the COM
mander steered for Goderich in hopes
Of keeping the fire in check until port
could be reached. This hope faded
when, as darkness fell, the pent up
flames in the cargo hold burst
through the decks.
The lifeboats had been prepared
and the crew departed from the ship
in safety. Lighted by the flames, they
started for shore, but in the darkness
following the sinking of the vessel the
boats were separated.

1T MAY BE TRUE.

Lander, Wyo., special.-All records
of hand to hand encounters with wild
beasts have been smashed by Arson
Sercoff of Torrey creek canon, who.
bested a mountain lion a few days ago.
Seroff was prospecting, when he ran.
across a lions den. Determining to Sc
cure the kittens, he dug his way into.
the den. At that instant the mother
lion sprang upon him from the rear
and a struggle ensued.
The lion overestimated it's first leap
did not secure a good hold, and
Sercof was enabled to twist about
and face the animal. With one hand
he grasped its lower jaw in such a
manner that it could not use it's
teeth, and with the other he managed
to cross the forefeet and hold them
against his body so that the claws
could not be brought into action. The
lion and the man rolled over togeth-
er, and Sercoff worked his body in
between the beasts hind legs. In this
position the lion was able to do little
with it's claws.
Sercoff buried his teeth in, the lions
neck and tore frantically at the flesh
until he severed the jugular vein. The
lion struggled fiercely, but soon be-
came so weak from loss of blood
that Sercoff was enabled to spring out
of range and watch it expire. He
merged from the encounter with a
few painful gashes. The skin of the
animal measures eight feet from tip
to tip.

HEROIC FIGHT
BY WOUNDED SOLDIER

Americans on guard. Captain Overton
ordered his men to lie down and a
desperate fight followed. The Ameri-
cans succeeded in holding the bolo-
men at bay for a long time, but the
latter rushed them, using their bolos
with effect. Captain Overton was terri
bly, cut and bled to death. Trooper
Noyes was instantly killed and dis
membered, and Trooper Hartlow was
badly wounded.
In the meantime, the insurgents had
escaped, but later they gathered and,
seeing that one Of the Americans had
survived, renewed the attack. During
their absence Trooper HARLOW erect
ed a flimsy barricade and placed the.
bodies Of his companions inside.
When the insurgents returned to the
attack, he used his own rifle and the
weapons of his companions with such
deadly effect that the bolomen fed in
confusion. The attack was renewed
several times, but the wounded caval-
ryman succeeded always in holding
the insurgents in check.
Finally, Lieutenant Cameron and
his party returned and rescued Hart
low, but only when he had tainted
from loss of blood.
Captain Overton is criticized for
having kept only three men to guard
so and for having neglected to destroy
the insurgents bolos. Flores is a
Visayan, and the majority of his fol-
lowers are Baganos living in the
Misamis mountains. No Moros were
concerned in the affair.

MoNTANA's COSTLY STORMS.
The Damage is Officially Placed al
1900. 900,


Butte, Mont, May 2S.-The loss of
sheep in four days of blizzard ending
Monday will aggregate 100000 and
for the two months before that by
similar but less furious storms, 600,-
600, making a grand total of 10000 900
for the winter up to date.
These figures are official and are as
near the truth as any statistics that
can be obtained at this time. They
are based upon tables compiled by T.
C. Power, president of the state
board of sheep commissioners, who
was assisted in his tabulations by
j. R. Ferguson, state commissioners
of labor and agriculture, and by AS
sistant Secretary of State Marks,
who says:
The losses in this state, as shown
by these figures, will foot up approx
imately $780, 900 in sheep alone, as
they can be averaged at $3.50 per
head. In addition TO this must be es-
timated the loss in cattle, although
reports concerning that loss have
been greatly exaggerated, and the
damage done to fruit by the storm in
certain sections"
Possibly 5000 head of cattle perish
ed in Inc storm and crops were dam
aged to the extent of about $4,000.

Those who have preached the sub
ject to business men and others have

Henry's body buried, if possible, be-
meath st. Johns church at the spot
where he stood while delivering his
famous speech which eliminated in
the ringing sentence:
Give me liberty or give me

THE HUMAN FLOOD
FROM OTHER LANDS

Italy, which furnishes the most unde-
sirable class of citizens, has far out
stripped all other nations, and has
sent to the United States 1904 emf
grants, or almost so per cent of the
increase in April over the same
month last year. The total increase
was 90,679, of which 1856 consisted
of Italians, Sicilians and S~ardinians.
The French and Corsican immigra-
ton in creased 796, and during the
month Greece added 6,O24 inhabitants
to the population of the United States.
1t is curious that Austria, which gen.
orally furnishes IN ever increasing
number of immigrants, during the last
month sent over only "a, 1879, a de-
rease of $50, as compared with the
same period last year.
There was IN increase in the mum.
Der of Germans who came over, the
figures being 1924 as against 4,24S
for April last year. The number Of
Englishmen who came to the United
States was 1888, an increase Of 1888
over the same period last year. The
new arrivals from Ireland numbered g.
$50 from Russia 1901, from Norway
AIT, and from Sweden 5,9SS.
1t is believed that a part, at least Of
this enormous food Of immigrants
was caused by the belief that the
United States had enacted a new and
more rigid immigration law which
was to go into effect in July. The for
eign emigration societies have not
yet found out that Senators Elkins
and Gallinger, with a few interested
associates, throttled the new law, and
took out Of it everything which would
tend to keep down the supply Of cheap
labor for the mines of West Virginia
and the forests and quarries of New
Hampshire.
