Once again Julian Alba, the Mexican
man Of many troubles, is up against it.
His wife has jumped her job as assist
ant chili-miXer, and is in Jail as a re-
suit of wedding another. The chill
business is poor. And the police are
after Julian. This time he is arrested
for running a joint where chill is not
the only thing served. They say that
Julian also sells booze. Therefore Alba
and Mr.. lea Demea, his assistant, can
hope for no mercy, as they do NOT
belong to the union.
Yesterday brave Officer McEIroy and
an assistant broke into a room over
the Kansas Farmer office and arrested
young white man on the charge, as
it is booked of running a opium
den" They found hop pipe, and then
kicked in the door to George Klauer's
room, next door, and found another
pipe. The fact that the hop pipe was
used as an ornament, together with a
pair of Chinese slippers and a string of
brass coins, did not prevent the bold
officers from taking both Klauer and
the pipe. They also swiped a Jug of
whisky from under Klauer's bed A
caller was also arrested. All three men
gave bond.
Owing to the fact that the present
chief has tclosed all the joints" not
more than dozen plain DRINKS were
gathered over Sunday.

MERRY BURGLAR WAS
LOOKING FOR A FRIEND

John Doll was arrested shortly af-
ter . o'clock this morning by Detec-
tive Macdonald on a charge of bur-
glary. Doll is proved to be one Of
the coolest and nerviest burglars so
far captured.
Louis Wilkman, who lives in the
Washington club building at Third
avenue and Washington stret. was
awakened about 2 o'clock by hearing
some one In his room.
AS he turned over he saw a strange
man going through the dresser draw

wilkman leaped from the bed and
grappled with the burglar who was
overcome after a tussle.
Without losing his nerve. Doll told
his captor that he was no burglar
but was there looking for friend
named Clement. When asked what
he wos doing In the dresser drawers,
Doll coolly replied that he was look

KATHERINE RIDCEWAY
WELL RECEIVED

Miss Rideeway had her hearers
laughing and crying by turns. Her
art is perfect and her rich, low voice
is particularly appealing.
Her FIRST selection was His Ma
jesty the King" and after several en-
cores she gave ''Her Dad Struck Oil"
a clever comedy sketch.
Several selections which she gave
with low piano accompaniment were
delightful as well as decidedly origi-
nal, and her spoken coon song simply
brought down the house.
Tears were in the eyes of nearly
every woman in the house and many
masculine coughs were heard when
the graceful little woman recited
His Dream" the story of little
neglected child of a society woman,
whose mother used to forget to kiss
him good night. AS the story runs,
the child told another little play
mate whose mother tucked him in
that she kissed him every night, then
his little heart nearly broke because
he had told a lie. He falls asleep
and dreams that his mother is kiss
ing him and wakes up to find that it
is the truth, as she had stopped in
his room from the opera at her hus-
bands request.
At the close of the recital Miss
Ridgeway came before the curtain
and spoke feelingly of her pleasure
in reciting for Spokane people. She
will open her season November l and
has engagements for every night un-
repeat successful tour Of England.
The proceeds of the concert will be
given to the pipe organ fund of the
Westminster Congregational church.

CITY COUNCIL

Councilman Pratt's expected move
toward wiping out the present health
department system did not come up
before the council last night owing
to the fact that no regular report
on the subject from the finance COM
mittee was ready. In place of this a
recommendation was made that the
city use the lower part of the crema-
tory site, near the river, for purpose
of dumping tin cans. and ashes in
stead Of buying a new dump as pro-
posed by the health ONCE.
Councilman Koontz introduced an
ordinance providing for the creation
Of a city claim agent to be under
the direction Of the corporation coun-
sci and who shall be paid sos a
month. The duties Of the claim agent
shall be to look after all cases against
the city, collect evidence and do the
general detective work for the coun-
sells Office. The ordinance was re-
ferred. as

Katherine Ridgeway, q famous elo-
cutionist whose girlhood days were
spent in this city, gave benefit con-
cert at the Auditorium last night.
She was assisted by Claire Monteith,
a baritone formerly Of Spokane. The
house was packed and society was
out in force. There was not a vacant
seat in the house and even standing
room was scarce.
Miss Ridgeway, whose real name
Is Hogan, has hosts of friends in
this city. She was showered with
beautiful flowers and was encored
several times after each Of her Sc
leetions. She good naturedly complied
with each one and seemed to heartily
enjoy pleasing the people from her
old home, or, as she expressed it In
a neat little curtain speech. the
scene of my early struggles"
Miss Ridgeway has a charming
stage presence and many say that
her fascinating smile and pretty
laugh has. combined with her genius,
done much toward bringing her fame
as an elocutionist. She was beauti-
fully gowned in white satin embroid-
cred with crimson roses. The stage
settings were carefully planned and
effective.
Although Mr.. Monteith's baritone
voice is almost beyond criticism and
his manner unaffected, his selections
did not seem to appeal to his audi
ence. He sang several times and was
given generous applause, but there
was a sameness to his songs that was
disappointing. The last song he sang,
a pretty Scotch air, was by far the
best, although many particularly en-
joyed "The Recessional."
