ALL THREE ARE GOOD.
Standard Attractions That Will APP
pear at the Opera House.

It has been the rule OF the opera
house management this season to cut
out all inferior attractions. This the
public appreciate, as has been shown
by the large houses that have turned
out to see the many tlrst-class COM
panies playing here this season.
1t has also been the effort of the
management to SO arrange oates as to
give an interval of several days be-
tween each attraction. However, it
is not at all times possible to arrange
dates as desired. This happens to be
the case with the three first-class
companies which are punched" to-
gether during the next few days.
1.-THE Two Sisters from the pen
of the veteran actor and author, Den
man Thampson, author of 'The Old
Homestead" is a glorious pay and
should be witnessed by people of all
ages, young and old.
Monday evening, November 16,
Vests big minstrel company will &C.
cupy the house. This is without doubt
the largest and best minstrel organlza-
ton touring the country.
The attraction for Tuesday evening,
November II, is still another type OF
play and will be presented by a first
class company. AS the title indicates,
"Reuben in New York" is a farce
comedy, and of the highest order.
The company numbers rs people. in
Guiding clever comedians and a score
of pretty girls, most handsomely gown.
ed, giving the latest up-to-date catchy
songs and music.
In view of the fact that the above
companies are playing Billings on sue
ceeding nights, the respective mana
gers have agreed that there shall be
no advance in prices for any.
At present there is nothing booked
at the opera house after the date OF
Reuben in New York" until about
the middle of December, and as there
will be no advance in prices, theater-
goers can avail themselves of three
evenings of enjoyment in witnessing
the above high-class productions dur
ing the next few days.

Automobile For card PLAYERS.

Automobile For Card Players.
A new thing in automobiles appeared
on the streets Of London recently, says
the New York Herald. It might be de-
scrfbed as a cabin on wheels. The
hinder part Of the car had. large win
dows IN all four sides. Inside were
four seats, each in a corner, and down
the middle ran a table covered with
green baize. This table. as the auto
mobile stopped for n minute in Charing
Cross road, was being used by two
women who were playing cards, quite
I~nconcerned Mt the crowd which gath
cred and stared at them. In another
corner Of the vehicle lounged a man
reading a newspaper. Outside Of the
back step was a black tiger resplendent
in purple turban and gold uniform.
One chauffeur was not deemed ade-
quate for so gorgeous a conveyance,
and this had two.

Medals For King Victor Emmanuel
Victor Emmanuel, king Of Italy, will
pay his postponed visit to Paris be-
tween Oct. II and 16 next, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Great preparations are being made for
his coming. AS he is well known to be
an enthusiast In n~umismatics, fifty fine
medals will be presented to him. Some
of these are of great historic value,
ranging from the days Of Richelieu to
those of Carnot, Faure and Loubet. A
few of them commemorate happenings
In Italy, such as the restoration of Ven
Ice. A special medal will be struck in
his honor.

wonder. Of Modoc COUNTY.

Probably no other part of the world.
excepting perhaps the Yellowstone
park, contains so many natural curios-
tiles as Modoc county. N. NJ. The first.
from a historical point of view. is the
famous lava beds. scene of the Modoc
war. u country of rocks so full of caves
That lakes and rivers are swallowed up,
leaving nothing but a faint murmur to
snow their course through the. bowels
OF the earth. In many of the caverns
an army OF men could hide. and in some
places the intense heat of the rocks is
evidence that internal fires are raging.
In all parts of the county can be found
mammoth hot springs belching forth
water strongly impregnated with min
erals, and often close by will be caves
OF the purest ice.

LARGE AREA WITHDRAWN.
Preserving Montana Public Domain
for National Reclamation.

FE
Great Falls, Mont, Nov. BY a
sweeping order from the commissioner
of the general land Office received at
the local land Office, 2,142,0O 0 acres OF
land in the Great Falls land district
are withdrawn from all forms OF entry
except restricted homestead entry, UNI
der the provisions of the national irrl-
cation law.
The withdrawal is made IN order to
preserve to the public the lands involv-
ed, for reclamation under the provis-
ions of the national irrigation law, it
the secretary of the interior should
decide to authorize the construction
of the projected st. Mary's canal on
Milk river, with it's auxiliaries.
Within the immense tract are in.
eluded, among others, the towns OF
Fort Benton, Chouteau, Conrad, By
mum, Pennington and Dupuyer; the
great tract of land owned by the
Conrad investment company, large
holdings of the Power interests and
Snonkin cattlemen, the Flowerree
range, other than the country that
has long been Occupied as range Dy
owners of sheep and cattle, and land
of several cooperative irrigation COM
panies. This withdrawal in connec-
ton with those heretofore made, Wits
draws from general entry nearly all
the desirable land in tue Great Falls
district.
Practically all of Teton and Cascade
counties have been withdrawn. In
Chouteau county there remains open
to general entry only small tracts OF
land around Fort Belknap and Fort
Assinaboine reservations, and in Val
ley county there is open only a small
tract south of the railroad where there
have been comparatively few settle
ments.
1t is understood that a similar order
will o be issued, affecting a great
portion of the Lewistown district.
The order just issued does not affect
entries that have already been made,
but it is probable that another order
will soon be made, pending lnvestiga-
ton all entries within the tracts that
have been withdrawn from general
entry.

Cannon Is Speaker.
Meeting of Senate.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 9.-With
the galleries crowded, with the cham
Der a mass of elaborate floral tributes
and nearly every senator in his seat,
the gavel of President Pro TEN Frye
sounded at noon today, calling the
senate together in the second extraor-
binary session of the Fifty-eighth con-
gress. The special session of the SEN
ate, following the adjournment of the
F~ifty-seventh congress-, eliminated
much OF the routine work which would
otherwise have been performed today.
New senators had gone through the
formality of taking oaths of office,
seats had been assigned and with the
exception of the appointment of some
vacancies, all functions of the organ
lzation had been completed.
Tribute to Hanna.
More than two hours before the SEN
ate was called to order, the galleries
were filling up with early arrivals.
Senator Hanna's pronounced victory in
the Ohio election won for him what
was one of the most pretentious floral
designs ever seen in the senate, a
shield three and half or four
feet of blue immortelles, in which
was wrought out of California grasses,
ribbons and red, white and blue i'm
mortelles, the design of the American
eagle identical with that on a silver
quarter of a dollar. The shield was
surmounted with a gorgeous cluster OF
American Beauty roses. The Offering
bore the inscription, Senator Mark
Hanna. from his friends, the Irish
democrats of Cleveland" Fully a.
o of smaller tributes were bank
ed around Senator Hanna's desk.
Germans Big Wreath.

Maryland election was recognized by
the largest floral piece, a handsome
wreath more than two feet in diameter
with a crossed cluster of roses, carna-
lions and chrysanthemums as the
base. Chrysanthemums were used in
prOfusion and there was hardly a desk
that did not carry one or more huge
lunches of these flowers.
The senate convened at noon, and
alter prayers by Reverend F. J. Pref
lyman OF Washington, the formal
proclamation calling the congress in
extraordinary session vas read. At
The roll call Is answered. Senators
Hnar and G0rman were appointed by
the senate to inform the president
HAT congress had organized and was
ready to receive any communication
be- might make.
The senate then adjourned.

HOUSE MEMBERSHIP PRESENT
LARGEST EVER KNOWN.
MANY FLORAL TRIBUTES
Cannon Elected Speaker-WiIliams Of
Mississippi Chosen to Lead
the Minority.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 9.-The Fiji
ty-eighth congress convened in ex-
t%raordinary session at noon today, in
accordance with the proclamation of
President Roosevelt, for the purpose
of enacting legislation for making eff
fective the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
The house assembled the largest
membership in it's history. The scene
before the gavel fell in that body was
n of animation, both or the floor, IN
the cloak o and in the Hobbies and
corridors. They day was crisp ana
bright and the capitol building pre-
scented the appearance of a new struc-
ture with it's coat of white paint and
complete renovation within.
Crowds Throng the Capitol.
Crowds of eager spectators, both
men and women thronged the corri-
doris and rotunda of the capitol early
in the day and the galleries, to which
admission was had by card only, were
taxed to their capacity long before the
hous of assembling arrived. Many
nigh officials of the government left
their desks to witness the opening OF
the session and greet their legislative
friends. Many strangers in Washing
ton had their first glimpse of congress,
while the capitol was the Mecca OF
Westinghouse.
Committee rooms, which had been in
the hands of the %renovator during the
recess, were thrown open and many in
formal receptions were held by popu-
lar chairmen. With the s~peakership
question out OF the way in the univer-
sal endorsement of Mr.. Cannon, there
was nothing to worry the legislative
mind and the day vas given up to
the sentiment of the occasion.
Beautiful Floral Tributes.
Many handsome floral tributes to
members wer borne in unusual pro-.
fusion to the Hobbies back of both the
senate and the house chambers to be
placed later on the desks of the men,
bers. The new members OF the house
received their initiation to doorkeepers
and house employees and many were
turned back for identification, because
of their slight hesitation on presenting
themselves for admission. Such Incl
dents contributed to the general lively
animation and good humor of the &C.
casion.
Cannon Is Speaker.
Mr.. Hay of Virginia, chairman OF
the democratic caucus, nominated Mr..
Williams of Mississippi.
When the vote for speaker was an
nounced it showed Mr.. Cannon to have
received 1913 votes and Mr.. Williams
166, Mr.. Cannon being declared elect
ed as speaker of the house.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi and Mr..
Grosvenor of Ohio were appointed a
committee to notify Mr.. Cannon OF
his election and to escort him to the
speakers chair.
