The Denver Express.

The glories of melodrama are unfad
ing and though not spicei theatrical
tents are perhaps a little warm for the
season, they are still seductive in the
case of "rhe Denver Express" which is
one of the warmest and most rapid
plays of its class. Once again Sitting
Bull, Standing Cow, and their bsnu of
braves will attack the emigrant train.
and emit their war whoops at Central
to the huge delight of the gallery, and
the subdued thrills of the pRrquet. The
Holden Bros. have equipped the play
with an excellent series of new scenes,
and the grand ball at the Palace Hotel,
San Francisco provides society ele-
ment that entirely removes the suspi-
cion that this is wild and woolly west
ern drama 1t has situations and eli
makes which are thrilling to degree,
in the frontier scenes, but the two acts
devoted to the American millionaries
and the scions of British arstocracy
| show the skillful hand of a clever dram
atist and are satlrical and amusing
always. Taken all in all 1t has proven
| its right to play return dates, and its In
terestipg story, uprOarous comedy and
we'll woven splot entitle the play to
whatever success it may achieve. A
carefully selected company under the
management of Holden Bros, will pre-.
sent the "Denver Express" at Central
Opera House on Wednesday, Jan. 2lst.
Prices %, 80, and so CITE.

BOYS PRANK Is FATAL;
Changes Danger Signal Which Had
Been Set by Tower Man
RulfJnnra

Cumberland, Nd, Jan. 17.-Through
the alleged interference of Il messen-
ger boy wreck was caused on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad east of
Cumberland early in the morning, in
which four employees of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad We're killed and
three injured. Three of the men
killed lived in Baltimore and the fourth
was resident of Cumberland. The
killed are: W. r. Simms, engineer;
w. ]. Moran, fireman; II. d. Sheer
niger, fireman; John Butler, engineer.
Those injured: Il. j. Henrik, conduc-
tor, Baltimore, bruised about the body;
w. N. Christopher, engineer, Balti-
more, bruised; Kinney, conductor,
Cumberland
1t is charged that messenger boy
named Turner, who was in the block
tower when No. 10 came along and
| hearing the engineers whistle for clear
| tracks pulled n lever giving him a
clear signal The operator had, it is
] explained, previously set the signal at
| danger. While his attention was be-
ing devoted TO communicating with the
succeeding block station the boy, it is
alleged, pulled the lever that gave the
on-coming train the signal that it had
a clear track ahead and the tower oper-
ator was not aware of what was done
until the crash came. After the wreck
the passenger train was taken back to
Cumberland, subsequently proceeding
| to Baltimore. The injured We're sent

Commencing to Harvest Their Whirl-
wind,

Just at present the republicans have
the trusts on their hands. Until short
time ago, Senator Aldrich and his trust
protecting colleagues had not the re.
hottest idea of permitting the present
congress to do more than talk about
the trusts. But the president dissrrsng-
ed these plans somewhat, by announc
ing that there would be trust legislation
at this session or there would be an ex-
ira session. At first the representatives
of the trusts thought that they could
induce the president to reconsider his
announcement, by assuring him that an
extra session of congress to pass legis'
lation inimical to the trusts would pre-
vent his nomination next year. The
president is reported to have replied,
by saying that without effective trust
legislation he did not desire the NOM
ination next year; that without such
legislation the republican party would
be overwhelmed at the next national
election. What the outcome will be
no one can say. The two factions of
the republican party are going sideways
in opposite directions.
Mark Hanna sowed the wind, by col
lecting millions from the trusts for the
purchase of an election. His party
has now commenced to reap the whirl-
wind.

The Commoner.

The CommOner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structiye during the present session of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
which the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commoner pro-
poses to carry on campaign of educa-
tiOn and organization to the end that
democratic principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonHl attention. The Commoner con-
tains Current Topic department,
wherein non-partissn discussion of
topics of timely interest and other vaiu-
able information will be found. The
Home department is conducted by an
experienced woman who is widely
known as writer of household topics
and who is an authority on the art of
cooking in all that the term implies.
This department alone is worth the
subscription price. The other depart
ments of the paper are all interesting
and ably conducted, among which is q
summary of the worlds news told in
narrative style, and Mr.. Maupin's de.
Whether Common or Not
contains original anecdotes and wit.
moral lessons in homely phrase and
verse, and appeals to old and young
alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean,
entertaining and instructive, and its
rapid increase in circulation-now
amounting to 140,O00--is proof of the
papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied at very low rats with the
Manchester Democrat both papers for
one year for $2l5. This offer applies
to both new and renewal subscriptions,
and should be taken advantage of with
out delay. All orders should be sent to
the office of the Manchester Democrat.

Springfield, Ills, Jan. 1G.-A COM
pany of the Illinois national guard
stopped prize fight in this city. The
managers had detied the mayors posi-
tive orders that tho fight should not
take place aud had ignored Governor
Yates warning that troops would en-
force the mayors order if necessary.
Three hundred men, including n num-
Der of the members of the legislature,
had paid their money to see the con-
test, and We're present when the sol
diers marched in with fixed bayonets.
The fight was advertised to take
place between Ole Oleson of Chicago
and kid" Williams Of Philadelphia
before the Olympic Athletic club. An
appeal was made to Governor Yates
to permit the contest to proceed under
the guise of sparring match, but
the governor announced that any at
tempt to pull off the affair would be
resisted by the state forces.
In spite of the executive warning II
was whispered around that the fight
would take place, and the 800 specta-
tors assembled in the lodge hall. Com.
pany G, Fifth infantry, in the mean
time had received orders to assemble
at its armory, n block away. Just be-
! fore the contestants We're ready to
