ATTRACTIVE BILLS
AT LOCAL THEATERS
FOR COMING WEEK

We may not be New York, but with
three openings of the kind that we are
TO have this week.-Mrs. F'iske in
Mary of Aagdala" at the Grand Op-
era-house, Mary Mannering in "Har-
riet's Honeymoon at the Columbia

we may be pardoned temporary
vanity. It is better to be vain a little
than be humble s'much.
Most notable will be the Fiske en-
gagement at the Grand that will last
for four weeks. During the time Mrs.
Fiske will present a number of new
plays, the first the famous Mary of
Magdala-" With Mrs. Fiske comes an
excellent company, including Max Fig
man, Hobart Bosworth, Frank Gill

productions will be like the original

Magdala" being one of the most su

rect ever seen on the stage
Paul Heyse is the author of the
drama in which Mrs. Fiske and her
company make their first appearance,
and William Winter, the translator of
the German dramatist's noble work.
The translation is said to be a re-
markable one, notable for distinguished
beauty of language and close sympa-
thy with the original 1t is in blank
verse. Dramatically the play seems
to have a profound impression. His
tory rather than the Bible has been
the fountain from which its materials
are drawn, though most of the charac-
ters and much of the incident are bib
lical.
In its effect the play has been re-
markably compelling upon all manner
of critics. The ministry and laymen
alike have combined to praise. the pro-
fessional critic succumbed to its spir-
itual spell. The theme. of course is
the conversion of Mary Magdalen. In
the play Judas is her lover. and in thu
original it is suggested that jealousy
of the Christ's power over her rather
than avarice tempts Judas to betray
his Master. Mr.. Winter eliminates this
suggestion, however. The first act finds
Mary in her palace in Jerusalem. sur
rounded by her lovers and all the
splendors of her shame. 1t closes with
her hearing, strangely moved, of the
coming of Christ to Jerusalem.
In act she is found in the house of
Flavius, young Roman noble and her
would-be lover, who entertains her
with magnificent spectacles of dancing
women, and so on. The end finds her
in the garden Of Flavius, trying to get
a glimpse of the Savior. who is pass
ing, and finally in the hands of the mob
who would stone her. Act 3 takes
place in the marketplace of Jerusalem.
where Judas betrays his Master. The
fourth act finds Mary convert, tempt
ed by Flavius to give herself to him,
the price to be the release of the Christ.

A5CORRECTION.

In the communication from tax
payer, relative assessments on city
property, on page four, occurred
an error, which is misleading. a
portion Of the last paragraph Of the
article in question should say: If a
merchant insures his goods for $45, 600
and is assessed for only So, 600, we
cannot say from that fact alone that
his assessm emit is too low; but if real
estate can be insured for only SIS, 900
and the lot is worth, say So, 500 while
the assessment is So, 500, it looks as if
the owner Of that realty was paving
tax en- one-third Of the valuation
while the owner Of the personality is
paying tax on one-ninth. Realty is as.
sesssd at least four times as high in
the original townsite as in the addi-.
tions and three times as high as city
personally. These proportions are not
exaggerated. The disparity is actn-
ally greater. What is the remedy I
Assess original townsite lots on the

OUR THINKING CLASSES.

s Sir John Lubbock said he was dis
posed to think that the readers of the
next generation will not be the law
yers and doctors, shopkeepers and
manufacturers, but the laborers and
mechanics.
Does not that seem natural ~
says the eminent Englishman. IA.
1.-THE former work mainly with
their heads, when their daily duties
are over, the brain is often exhausted
and Of their leisure time mucn must
be devoted t. fresh air and exercise.
The laborer and mechanic, on the con
trary, besides working often much
shorter hours, have in their worktime
taken sufficient bodily exercise, and
could therefore give any leisure they
Nigh nave to reading and study
If the observation is true in Eng
land, it is especially true in this
country, where thinking is less tram
meied by class and tradition. Indeed,
the prophecy Of Sir John is in a large
way to be realized in this country in
this generation.
American workingmen are well in
formed. They read and think They
invent machines, And they are able
to hold their own in any discussion
of curr emit themes. Especially is this
true Of skilled workingmen and those
who exercise their thinking in the
trade unions. s.7
And the farmers n 3s2 a& Il l,4
Much Of the straight thinking Of
this generation is being done by the
farmers. Conditions on the farm are
favorable to consecutive and sound
reasoning. The farmer has time for
a deliberate long look at things. He
has time to walk entirely round a
proposition and view it from all sides,
His conclusions are usually sane.
In fact, if Sir JOHN Lubbock will
examine our history, ne will discover
that our I" working classes have al
ways belonged to our thinking
classes. 81 q AZ

VICTORY FOR
JUDGE LAUDER

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 25-- The SUI
preme court yesterday handed down
decision in the case Of Judge W. s.
Lauder, of the Fourth Judicial dis
trict, against Evan s. JcLes, of Rich
Hand county, affirming the decision Of
The lower court, which awarded the
judge a verdict Of 81, 900 against Jones
for libel.
The case was the most interesting
heard before the recent term Of the
supreme court, and was argued at the
Grand Forks term by a list Of distin
guished attorneys. The alleged libel
GUS publication was in the form Of an
affidavit made by one Rev. Wendall, Il
of idgerwood, charging the judge
with the willfui refusal to perform
mis- legal duties, with furnishing in.
4 formation to criminals, to enable them
60 escape jutice. It also charges the
Judge, for a money consideration. ex-
tended protection, to violators of The
prohibition law The charge made by
the judge was that they circulated
the alleged :libelous affidavit by de-
liyering sundry copies to various per-
sons by nail and otherwise Among
other things charged in the affidavit
was that payments were made by
Ralph Maxwell, blind pigger, at
Lidgerwood, for protection Of the
court. .53 XII
Action was brought against Jones
for circulating the affidavit, and in
the trial Of the case before Judge
Z Cowan the jury awarded Lauder q
verdict for. the amount stated.
An appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court which holds that where
the language Of alleged libel is fairly
susceptib BILE Of defamatory construc-#
& tion, the question Of intent is for the
jury; that defainatory charges need
not be made directly tnar the truth
Of the alleged deeamatory matter Or
facts in mitigation are now matter,
and must be pleade in answer and
that when they were not SO pleaded,
Y 1t was not error for the trial court to
exclude evidence offered to prove the
Z truth of the statement. The amount
Of the award, says the supreme court.
is not such as tends to show that the
jury was influenced BY passion O
prejudice. & .55
THE libel alleged occurred in the
q fall of 1902, when Judge Lauder war
stated to be a candidate for thes
peme bench Of the state and during
+ hot political campaign in Richland
county. 81 .33

The sending of Valentines causes
either jov or sorrow. There are some
people who take advantage of st
Valentines day to wonnd their
neighbors feelings by sending them
comic valentines with horrid carica-
lures and vulgar verse thereon.
This class of people would not dare
to sign their name to one of these
things. They are of the class who
would stab one in the dark or set
fire to a neighbours house when they
were away from home. Comic val
entines when sent in any other spir-
it than that of fun are low and vul-
gar and have caused great deal of
sorrow. We know of several in
stances where chief friends have
been separated and the happiness of
several lives blighted on account of
the sending of these detcstable
things.
