THE BURGOnAsTKR co.
Gave a Fine Performance Last Night
 to a Packed House.

Every seat in the Hardwick theater
 was occupied last night at the per formance of The Burgomaster com pany, and many esteemed it a privi-
 lege to stand up and witness the per formance, for 1t was in the nature of
 treat. even if it did have to be paid for. It was not only the first really, truly" dramatic entertainment that Phoenix has seen this year. but it was
 the best thing in mus5eal comedy that has been presented aere in some years, if, indeed, a better show has ever been given.
 And all this without an orchestra
 too. The only accompaniment for the singing was a piano, but the chOruses were of fine volume sung in the best Of time and harmony. and sounded
 much better than an inferior aggrega-
 tion would with the best orchestra in
 the land. The company is a large one, containing between sixty and seventy
 people, and additional dressing rooms
 had to be provided in the rear of the
 theater. It carries a fine orchestra
 also. but there was no room for It in
 the house last night. and they got along very nicely without it.
 As most readers know, the prologue
 of the play is laid in New Amsterdam
 and the choruses are composed of h.
 dian braves, colonial guards, etc. as
 settings for the dialogues of Governor
 Stuyvesant and the official Bghts that surrounded him. To escape annihilatior
 by rhe Indians, the governor and his
 friend Doodle drink of a potion that puts them to sleep for 25O years. and
 when they wake up it is in New York.
 1904. The rest of the play. is devoted
 to making them acquainted with the American metropolis up to date, all 1 classes. kinds and characters being in- troduced in the course of the story. This gives opportunity for number less solos, choruses. dances, marches and spectacular figures. together with
 no end of jokes. witty remarks amt ludicrOus situations. It affords the best vehicle for all sorts of comedy and musical specialties, and no oppur-
 tunity is barren of it's possible fruit age.
 The title role was played by Oscar L. Figman, who first made the pfec- l famous in the east, and he is support ed by an array of talent seldom seen in She southwest. Besides Figman' E clever acting, he is a good singer. But he was only one of half a dozen or
 more who won voiferous applausa every time they appeared in solo work. Among them were Oscar B. Raglau.4, George McKissOck. 4. W. Hutchins ana l others. including Olga von Hatzfeldt, l.,
 who plays a leading part in both the story and the music all the way through. Though others have strong l voices. none are more cultivated. ari.I none were more heartily received. It would be impossible to mention even by name all the catchy airs or those who won the favor of the audi % ence from time to time. for the whole l performance was a whirlwind of mus;c and fun. and the audience was son standy engaged in laughing at the
 Jokes or straining their ears to catch the echoing notes of the music

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cATARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a
 Day and Be Cured.

If few years ago some one had said you can cure catarrh by breathing air charged with healing balsams, the idea would have heen ridiculed and it remained for that eminent investi- gator, R. T. Booth. to discover in Fly omei this method of cure.
 ByomeI has performed almost mir aculous cures of catarrh, and it is to- day recognized by leading 1nembers. of the medical profession as the only advertised remedy that can be relied upon to do just what 1t claims. The complete outfit of Hyomei costs but sl09 and consists Of an inhaler. a medicine dropper and a bottle of Fly omei..
 Rev. J. 3. Cook of Holliston, Mass, says: My wife has suffered greatly from cataTTh for fifteen years. Nearly four weeks ago she commenced to use Hyomei and the beneficial effect was immediate. It is very seldom that she needs to clear her head and throat and she Is able to rest quietly at night"
 Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day and. It will cure the worst case of catarrh IL soothes and heals the mucous. mem bI-ne of she air passages, prevents jr- rltaton, and effects a complete and lasting cure.
 In Phoenix there are scores of well known people who have been cured of ca-arrh by Hyomei. If it does not help you H. Goodman will return the money you paid for HyOmei

SHOOTS THE CASHIER.
Attempt Made to Rob the Platte Coun-
ty Bank at Platte Center.

COLUMBUS, Neb.-At noon an I'M
dersiZed man, apparently stranger,
walked into the Platte County bank
at Platte Center, twelve miles north
of here, and with drawn revolver in
his hand demanded the money from
Cashier Schroeder. He was refused
and without further ado he fired, the
ball striking Schroeder squarely in
the breast
The ball was slightly DETECTED by a
button and passed dangerously near
the heart.
A son of William Schelp, who was
in the back room of the bank, at once
gave the alarm and the robber jumped
into his buggy and dashed off to the
south. A large posse of citizens was
quickly in pursuit. The sheriff started
for the scene The would-be robber
had no accomplice.
The bandit was overtaken near
Oconee, five miles west of here, at 4
o'clock. He was at once taken hack
to Platte Center and positively iden-
tilted by Schroeder. Sheriff Carrig had
hard work to protect him from mob
violence, but finally got him loaded
into an automobile, and he now is
safe in Jail and carefully guarded. He
gives his name as William Holden
and says his home is in Michigan. He
had been working in the beet fields
near Platte Center the last two
months

ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTH.
It is One of Friendliness Toward the
President.

WASHINGTON-Colonel John s.
Nasty received few months ago
letter from Judge Roulhac of Birming-
ham, Ala, commenting on the attitude
of the southern people toward the
president personally. Colonel Mosby
sent the letter to Oyster Bay, as he
thought the sentiment expressed in it
by a confederate veteran would be
gratifying to the president. He re-
ceived a reply which he did not pub.
lish during the campaign, as he felt
that the presidents motives in writ
Ing the letter would be misconstrued.
The letter is as follows:
MY Dear Colonel Mosby: That is
fine letter of Roulhac's and | appre.
ciate it. | have always been sadden-
ed, rather than angered, by the at
tacks made upon me in the south. I
am half southerner myself and can
say with all possible sincerity that the
interests OF the south are exactly as
dear to me as the interests of the
north. THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

FIGHT is LIKELY
ABSENCE OF NEWS is REGARDED
AS SIGNIFICANT.
ARMIES MAY NOW Be ENGAGED
Latest from Mukden is Repulse Of
Japs at Lone Tree Hill Tuesday
Night-Report from st. Petersburg
that Russians Began Movement.

ST. PETERSBURG-Uno ad-
vices only bring affairs at the front
up to November 20 and the absence
of official news of later date, either
from the Japanese or the Russian
side. arouses the belief that more i'm
portant operations than heretofore
may be progressing. Reports from
correspondents at the front indicate
renewed skirmishing, eliminating the
night of November % in fresh at
tack on Poutiloff Clone Tree) hill, in
which the Japanese were repulsed
with heavy loss, and also a severe
fight with Chinese bandits near Ka.
luan, in which 200 Chinese were
killed.
MUKDEN-The Japanese made
fresh attack on Poutiloff hill the night
of November %. Their advancing
ranks were decimated by the Russian
shell fire. Some of the Japanese Sc
cured Judgment on the slopes of the
hill, but were driven out at the point
of the bayonet, while the whole Jap
anese contingent fed. A similar at
tempt was made the same night south
of Erdagzou, which was also repulsed
with a bayonet charge.
The Japanese lost heavily, while
the Russian loss was thirty killed.
A band of $500 Chinese bandits,
with six guns, under Japanese officers,
coming from the direction of the Lao
river, was in conflict with three COM
panies of border scouts near the sta
tion of Kaiuan early on the morning
of November 20. The scouts charged
without giving the bandits battery
time to come into action. The ban
dis made feeble resistance and fed in
all directions, leaving 200 of their
number dead. The Russian loss was
trifng.
A Japanese column of two COM
panies attempted to penetrate the
Russian eastern flank on November
90 but it was met by two squadrons
of Russian cavalry and driven off with
severe loss.
The artillery has been silent for
two days. The opinion prevails that
| if the Japanese do not attack General
Kouropatkin will take the offensive
again.
Much difficulty is being experienced
with camp followers, mostly Caucas-
ians, Tartars and other tribesmen
from the Caucasus. They swagger
around in cloaks and fur hats, with
daggers at their belts, and have com
mitted so many depredations that Sc
we're measures have been adopted to
get rid of them.

WASHINGTON - Governor Cum
Minis left for New York Tuesday
night He saw Acting Secretary of
War Oliver in relation to the inscrip-
ton on the tablets to be erected by
Iowa regiments on the battlefield of
Shiloh. The old contention regarding
the time when the Iowa regiments
the Fifteenth and Sixteenth, entered
the battle, is sill the subject of much
controversy, but Governor Cummins
insists that the reports of the colonies
of the two regiments, which are the
only official reports of the participa-
ton of the regiments in the fight,
should be accepted. He insists, after
a review of the official reports in the
department that the only direct evil
dence regarding the two regiments
come from Colonel Reed and Colonel
Chambers, and that in the absence of
other direct evidence the Shiloh COM
mission should accept those as the
time when the regiments went into
action. Acting Secretary Oliver decid-
ed to hold open the question pending
the return of Governor Cummins to

Taxing Power of Japan.
THE HAGUE-The first sitting of
the arbitration court on the Japanese
house tax question was held Monday.
The United States is interested in the
matter, although not a party to the
present arbitration. The point at issue
is the contention of Great Britain,
France and Germany that Japan i'm
posed taxes on buildings in the old
foreign concessions, which, being per-
petual leases. are exempt from taxa
ton. The United States and other
powers having similar concessions will
accept the award. Mr.. Gram. president
of the court, who is ore of the provin-
cial governors of Norway, at the open
ing of the proceedings congratulated
the governments who, by consenting
to submit disputes to international
jurisdiction, had given fresh proof of
their attachment to a great and noble
cause. He regretted that the path of
humanity along the road of progress
was full of obstacles, but added that
happily the number of conventions
forming fresh bonds between nations

GERMANY IS MUCH PLEASED.
RooseVelt's Speech Of Saturday Is
Highly Commended.

TlINNIJ SOTUTnSHuGus
BERLIN - President Roosevelts
speech at Washington Saturday, on the
occasion of the unwilling of the
bronze statue of Frederick the Great,
and the attendant ceremonies have
pleased Germany. Reports of extraor-
binary length for the German press
were cabled, including the speeches of
the president and of Ambassador
Sternburg. Leading articles express
ing appreciation of Mr.. Roosevelt's ut
terances appear in most of the news
papers today. The semi-official North
German Gazette, which may be taken
in this instance as representing gen.
eral opinion, says:
"In Germany the celebration, and
particularly President Roosevelt's ad-
dress, will leave lasting impression.
The profound insight with which the
president, as a historian, did justice
to the personality of the great king
and general and described his heroic
and unwearied self-sacrifice for a
great political idea, fills us in Ger
many with warm sympathy. We fully
understand the position that the presi-
dent, as a clear-minded statesman, as
signs to the United States in It's poll
teal relationship to the various Euro
pean nations, whose emigrants for
three centuries have found home be-
yond the ocean and there have been
blended into one indivisible whole,
which, as a thoroughly specific in
dividuality, is making itself felt more
and more on the worlds stage. Our
people and the American nation are
really not rivals. On the other hand,
they supplement each other in more
than one salutary direction. If misun-
derstandings have occurred here and
there it is satisfactory to record that
the clouds that formerly obscured the
good relations between the two great
peoples have been dissipated."
