BOWERY BURLESQUERS
Olio Eliminated With Good Results at
the Dewey Theater This
r.. Week, -

The tendency toward the elimination of
the olio from the burlesque shows is en-
phasized this week at the Dewey theater,
where the Bowery Burlesquers hold the
stage. The production consists of a three
act farce. con the Yu-Con,' which is
notable chiefly for the clever work of the
three comedians, Harry Watson, Jr., Ed
Wrothe and George Bickel. Without this
trio the production would fall very flat,
but with them it is very entertaining.
Reversing the usual order, the comedy
of the piece is better than the music and
chorus work With two or three excep-
lions the songs are not particularly at
tractive, and the singing is only fair. Net
tie Nelson makes a hit with a rag time
ballad. I'm Thinking of You, sBabe,'' and
Jennie LeBeau sings pretty song entitled
My Creole Babe Tie best piece OF
chorus work is the alpine Serenade. :,
The scenic effects in the third act are
excellent. ~
Among the comedy bits the German
band is the feature. The Warsaw broth
ers interpolate a good musical speciality

WILL FIGHT FOR DUCKS
Consignees of Confiscated Birds Sa
They We're Killed In


J. Marion. Miller, of Chicago, at
torney for the consignees Of $500
ducks confiscated last week near the.
Iowa line by the Minnesota game war
den's orders, is not slow in saying that
he believes there is something queer
about the case.
The persons in Dubuque, to whom
the ducks We're consigned, are de-
termined to fight for the return OF
their property and the punishment Of.
those whom they believe have at
tempted to defraud them.
Mr.. Miller says that only 500 Of the
ducks were killed in Minnesota, the
remainder Of 5000 being killed in
Iowa. The whole lot were placed in
an icehouse for temporary storage,
not far from the state line. Teams
loaded the 500 ducks from Minnesota,
drove over the line into Iowa, and
other teams were on hand to ship the
whole from Montgomery
Executive Agent Fullerton says he
can prove that the entire shipment Of
ducks came from the Minnesota side

mr.. sAYAGE's PROPOSAL
His Plan as to Park Submitted to
Park Board Petition Of
Eastsiders.

M. w. Savage has submitted to the.
park board a statement in writing Of
what he purposes to do toward beau
tifying the surroundings of the Inter-
national building providing the city
will meet him half way. It is his in
tention to convert the grounds into a
park which will be for the general
that the houses of i'll fame along Main
street Sc be permanently closed and
that proper police protection be given
to the park.
In addition. the citizens of the East
Side want the park increased so as to
take in the block between the aud
itorium and the East High school and
the block bounded by Central avenue,
Bank street, Second street Sc and Ort-
man street. The petition containing
thousands Of names, was supported in
earnest talks before the board yester-
day by j. T. ElWell, w. L. Harris, w.
IT. Eustis, Mayor James G. Haynes and
City Attorney Frank Healy. It was
the opinion Of all that the expense Of
acquiring the land should be borne by
the city at large for the park would
be more than neighborhood breath
| ing spot.
Mr.. Savage's proposition and the pc
tition for a park were yesterday re-
ferred to the committee on designa-
ton of grounds.
The attempt to establish building
line easement on Hennepin avenue has
been temporarily abandoned.
| Having no particular use for city
water at the present time the park
board is not alarmed over the threat
Of the water department to shut off
water on Oct. Is unless back charges
are promptly paid. The matter was
referred to a committe on finance
which will probably not meet until
after the fatal day.
Several, eighth warders appeared in
behalf of the proposed park to be To-
Gated along Aldrich avenue S and
Thirty first street, asking that the park
board take some action regarding the
plan. Action on this matter was also
! postponed.

Thought That Pays.

The men who have made the
greatest success of business in recent
years are deep thinkers. Sometimes
they appear to put in only few hours
day at their offices, but they claim
that they are planning day and night.

is health, vitality and vigor of mind

RACING WITH "A CAR
Why an Athletes Claim for Dam
ages Was Disallowed.

He told the city attorney that he was
entitled to damages from the city, because
he had walked into a carelessly erected
barrfcade where sidewalk repairs had been
going on. A bruised knee, wrenched
ankle and other injuries were listed for ap-
praisement. We'll investigate" said the
legal advisers.
Investigation showed that the applicant
for damages was university student with
place on the football squad. On the
night OF his accident he was sprinting
along the sidewalk in a race with street
car. The barricade was in the full glare
Of a street lamp but his eyes were on the
street car and when he struck there was a
crash that sounded like collapsing build
ing.
The claim has been disallowed.

IN OUR FAVOR.

Dakota Farmer: It is surprising to
note the difference in the size of the
corn stalk between those we find in
Nebraska and those grown in North
Dakota, and it is equally surprising
and very pleasingly SO to a Dakotan,
to note how much cleaner the North
Dakota corn stalk is eaten up by stock
than the Nebraska plant is. Really,
W. believe that an acre of Nebraska
or Iowa corn stalks or fodder does not
furnish as much available feed as an
acre of Dakota fodder. In the first
place, as can plainly be seen by visit
ing yards in the two states where COL
fodder is fed, far more Of the Dakota
fodder, pound for pound, is eaten.
And again, like our northern grown
grasses, they are richer. To be sure,
by shredding or threshing these large
corn stalks. they can be eaten up
cleaner, but we greatly doubt whethe,
the great woody butts are Of much
value even if they are thus eaten.
For part, we a little prefer thu
fine gownsfodder Of the North, to tn,
shredded fodder Of the s'corn belt.

THE FLAX SEED CROP.

Farm Stock & Home. The agri-
cultural department says the flax
crop in the United States for 1902 was
90, 1884, $50 bushels, with a farm value
of $50, s14, 661. To this yield North
Dakota contributed more than half,
or Is, 552, 600 bushels, valued at $16, !.
018, $50, a fraction less than 81. 03 a
,bushel. Minnesota came next with
6.94s;,OO0 bushels, valued at 81, 427, !.
$40, or $1.O7 a bushel. South Dakota
produced 5000, $50 bushels, at an
average price of 81. IA. It will be
seen that the three states named pro.
duced 25, OO,250 bushels, leaving less
than 1900, 600 bushels to the rest of
the Union. The eastern, middle
west and southern states produce no
fax, and none of the others, except
those named, cut much of a figure in
production, with the exception of Kan
sas, which produced 1,217,OOO bushels.
The average yield per acre for the
whole country was 1888 bushels. Min
nesota is credited with 1914 bushels,
North Dakota ~, and South Dakota
rs. The average price for the whole
country was 81. 05 which is not a big
return per acre, when cost of growing
and harvesting this crop is consid-
cred.
