Edson's big double Uncle Tom
Cabin company comes to the Spo-
kane theater for two performances
tomorrow, matinee and night. The
company numbers 80 members and
has two Topsys and Marks the law
yers. Lulu Sutton will be one of the
Topsys and little Olga Stech. years
old, will be the Eva. There will be
street parade tomorrow morning
at 11:45 o'clock. The matinee will
be given especially for the benefit of
the children. The Daily Call, Lincoln,
Neb., says:
"a crowded house greeted Edson's
Uncle Toms Cabin company last
night in spite of the snow. An ex-
cellent performance was given with
out drag or wait throughout, the
interval between acts being filled up
with several very meritorious spe-
cialties.
The drama itself Is rendered In
teresting by the careful and studied
acting of Uncle Tom, who Is the best
we have seen at the Peoples. The
Marks are good. and between them
and the two mischievous Topsys the
humor of the piece sails pleasantly
along"

One Of the seasons most successful
melodramas. "Reap,ng the Harvest"
will be the attraction at the Audi
forum next Monday and Tuesday
evenings.
This charming play has been do
ing a record-breaking business every
where. The cast Is said to be much
above the average to be seen at these
prices and the scenic and mechanical
effects used in the production are said
to be on a lavish scale. The sunrise
and sunset effects as shown in the
third act, together with the historic
old Kronk tavern and it's picturesque
gardens are said to be revelations in
the way of beauty, WHILE the great
church scene and the terrific snow
scene of the last act are promised to
eclipse anything Of their kind ever
shown in this city. z
The story of 'Reaping the Har-
vest" is one of those charming blend
ings Of laughter and tears that seem
to win their way so easily to the
hearts of the American public.

HoT, DRY, DUSTY.
Weather Report For July Says
Chickasha Needs Rain
Hot, Dry Winds.

Mrs. L. A. Wibley, voluntary
observer for the weather bureau Of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture, has mailed copy Of
her monthly report to the Daily
Express. July has been the hot
test month Of the year of 90s so
far, though August bids fair to
double discount it at the rate it
has started in. The only rain dur
ing the month fell on the nights
Of July and y, a splendid one on
the third and a light shower on the
twelfth. The month ended hot,
dry and dusty, with crops needing
ram badly. Hot winds, the kind
which do the most damage, pre-
vailed for nur ber Of days. Fol
lowing is a summary of thereport:
Maximum temperature, lO7, on
Augues 2.
Minimum temperature, 60 on
August 10.
Total precipitation, 190.
Days clear, %.
Days partly cloudy, 5.
Days cloudy, 4.

Perhaps if both Mrs. whitley
and Mr. Hugo Roos combined
their efforts and put in a gool
strong petition, they could succeed
in prevailing on the weather maj

A RihIe Centennrv.

Lord Bowen amused the house of
lords a few years ago by a witty con-
demnation of ''uncritical and unneces-
sary centenaries." A centenary is near
at hand which is not unnecessary, at
all events. In December, 1902, one
Mary Jones walked barefooted twen-
ty-five miles to the home Of a Welsh
pastor, carrying her savings of six
years to exchange for a Bible. The
pastor had but one copy left, and that
had been promised to another person,
but he procured a copy for her. The
thought of that long tramp haunted
the good Mr.. Charles. He rallied Will
berforce, Zachary Macaulay and 9th
ers to organize the British and Foreign
Bible society, which has since then is
sued over 175OOO,OOO Bibles and parts
of the book in almost 300 different Ian
guages.

MURDERED AND ROBBED
Boarding House at Portage, Pa, Blown
Up to Hide Double Crime.

Boarding House at Portage, Pa, Blown
Up to Hide Double Crime.
Johnstown, Pa, Feb. 1O.-A BASTARD
ly attempt to hide robbery and murder
resulted in the wrecking by dynamite
Of an Italian boarding house at Por-
tage, this county, early yesterday
morning. Two persons are dead, two
are injured and a score Of others had
miraculous escapes from death when
the explosive let go. The conclusion
broke the windows in all the buildings
for nearly a square and did some other
damage. The dead are: Tony Grillo,
aged "A; Mrs. Tony Grillo. aged Al.
The scene of the affair was an Ital-
ian boarding house occupied by Grillo,
his wife, three daughters and about 25
boarders.
When the explosive let go the in
mates were hurled in all directions, but
the most of them escaped serious in
jury. The bodies of Grillo and his wife
were found buried beneath the ruins
of the building, which was completely
demolished.
The boarders are all employed about
the railroad at Portage. They had no
occasion to use dynamite, and none Of
the explosive was known to be in the
house, yet persons familiar with its
use say that at least 25 pounds must
have been put off under the room
where Grillo and his three little girls
slept. It was stated that Grillo had
between 5000 and $500 and his wife
5000 more in the house, but none of
the money has yet been found, and
the theory is that it was stolen by some
one who killed the couple and then
exploded the dynamite to cover the
crime. Evidence which developed yes
terday afternoon tends to strengthen
this theory.
The coroner's examination disclosed
the fact that Grillo's head was crushed
as if by some heavy instrument, and
his ribs were all caved in. Further
investigation is being made.

1 Missing Word.

A writer in the Spectator is hunting
for a word and asks the readers of the
Spectator to assist him. The word
desired is one that will express the
ever increasing class of words that
are named after some individual-e. G..
"boycott," 'macadamize," dolly"
macintosh, "gamp" ''peeler." Rob
ert," Bobby" whitehead" (for a tor
pedo), etc. Such words should be
classified under a name by themselves.
What should this word be? Cog
nominals" has been suggested. A cog
nOmen, however, is a surname, and
such words are not always taken from
the persons surname-"Bobby," for
example, to indicate a policeman.
"Onomataneric" and "aneronOmatic"
have also been suggested, but that
would not include 'gamp' or Mrs.
Grundy." No exception can be taken
to the term 'anthroponomatic." so far
as accuracy of description is con-
cerned, but it is a terribly long word,
and an apt short word is a desider-
atum.

BRITISH PROTOCOL ACCEPTED
Those of Germany and Italy Undergo
ing Revision.

Washington, Feb. II. - Great Bri-
tain's protocol has been formally ac-
cepted by Mr.. Bowen for Venezuela.
The German and Italian conventions
are still undergoing revision, but as
surances are given in authoritative
quarters that they eventually will be
made to conform in all essential re-
spects to that of the British ambassa-
dor Owing to the illness of the Brit
ish ambassador, Mr.. Bowen called at
the embassy yesterday and personally
signified his approval of the agree
ment to the ambassador. He then pre-
sented his formal note of acceptance,
and it has been cabled to the London
foreign Office. It appears that the in
sertion in the German protocol of the
provision for advance payment of the
original $4,000 demanded of Presi-
dent Castro in the German ultimatum,
was the result of a misunderst anding
on the part of the German foreign Of
fee of certain steps in the negotia'
tions here. Through the activity of
the German minister, Baron Spec Won
Sternberg, this point is being cleared

Sr'r the express and avowed purpose OF
controlling all the labor connected
with the entire mining idustry of the
country and thereby to dominate abso-
lutely that industry.
"Second-It must be manifest to the
commission that it is unwise and in-
expedient that both the immense bitl-
minous industry and the anthracite in
dustry, which are rival and competing
industries, should be controlled by tho
sane organization.
"Third-The operators have ever
and over again stated that they had
never Disseminated against any Of
their employees because of their mem
bership of any union. The operators
do, however. insist that each company
is an entity by itself; that it has a
right to insist upon dealing directly
with its own employees.
"Fourth-We most strenuously OBJ
iect to the character of the organiza-
tion of the United Mine Workers. It
not only admits to its membership, but
it seeks to force into it, all the EN-
ployes, including boys. who constitute
about 20 per cent of its membership,
and foreigners unable to speak the
English language, thereby rendering
its local unions a body only fit to be
called an unreasoning mob, subject to
every appeal to passion and prejudice.
and swayed by the specious arguments
of a professional agitator.
"Fifth-We claim that we ought not
to be asked to enter into contracts
with an organization which is utterly
irresponsible. 1t refuses to become in
corporated or to take any Other
methods of giving substantial guaranty
Of the fulfllment of it's contracts.
"Sixth-We contend that the power
to declare strikes by viva yoce vote
and bare majority is considered III
connection with the character of the
personnel of the organization, consti'
tutes a constant menace to the oper-
atOrs who deal with it.
"Seventh-The higher officers of the
organization seek to escape responsi
bility for the more glaring effects in
its operation. A careful consideration
OF the testimony, however, will indi-
cate that the very worst things which
are done are the direct Outgrowth Of
the principles enunciated by its Lead
ers.
"Eighth-The union does not disci-
pline its members for crime. All of
the testimony shows this.
against and above the institutions and
laws of the country. Every branch Of
government comes within its condem-
nation. The executive, consisting OF
peace officers and military arm of gov
ernment, is accused of every sort of
improper action. and is condemned.
Speaking for the party whom
represent-and doubt not for all the
operators, whether corporate or inde-
pendent would be willing to set
aside all other issues which are pre-
sented to the commission, and request
them to make their award upon the
issue thus presented. The encour-
agement which would result to unions
OF the character of the United Mina
Workers, and the stimulus which
would be given to the tyrannical law
Iessness and defiant methods which
they have pursued. by any substantial
award in their favor, would be so dis
astrous to the future commercial well
being OF the country as to be dearly
bought by the opinion that the award
was giving some help where help was
needed"
