There Will Be Rush for the Per.
formance of "Davy Crockett"


This morning at o'clock the reserv-
ed seat sale opens at Griffin's book
store for the production Of 'Davy
Crockett" with Champion Jim JEFF
fries in the title role, at Fishers to-
n orrow night. There win be great
demand for seats and theatergoers
should visit Griffin's at an early hour.
Jeffries may not be veteran in his
stage experience, but he exhibited an
appreciation of the public taste far
beyond that OF some Of our brilliant
theatrical managers when he decid-
ed upon a revival Of that standard old
drama of the frontier, "Davy Crock
ett." 1t is one OF the best grounded
and most fascinating plays that has
ever been written on American life.

tury ago. The expression of the fa-

every school copybook in the land and
1t would not hurt the scholars Of today
IL these same lines were on the pen
manship slips. and not only frequently
copied but remembered as well.
When man like Jeffries will show
such good sense as to revive play like
"Davy Crockett" he deserves public
attention and support, and he at least
deserves well for eshewing the wild
cat melodramas, that are neither
wholesome, entertaining nor good for
else than to daub on seem
cry and picture conditions that are not
worthy Of the stage or public produc-
tion. The champion is. however, pre-
senting the role of "Davy Crockett" in
his good, homely. natural style. which
appeals to heart interest, and others
will voice the sentiment that II he
continues to revive such wholesome
American plays in the course of his
theatrical career 1t will be long in
the land and as successful as it is long.

TOO GOOD TO HIS FRIENDS.
Roseburg Mans lndiscretion Resulted
in Discovery Of Frauds.

Roseburg. Or. Nov. 3.--If one OF the
settlers who was to receive $3.50 for
his timber claim had kept discreetIy
quiet and not been so anxious TO get
all his friends 'in on a good thing
II Is possible that the operations OF
the alleged timber land gang would
never have been exposed. But this
man. whom the authorities now have
under surveillance. and are holding
until all the principals in the supposed
fraud have been apprehended. was very
anxious that all OF his friends should
take UP timber claims under the offer
OF the company. which Frank E. Kin
cart and Harry E. Miller represented.
The result was that the secret leaked
out and the United States officials
were informed of the situation, the ar
rest OF James Kincart and Harry w.
Miller following ON the charge of timber
frauds.
The operations of the alleged ring
were very extensive. 1t is said that
Miller. Kincart and another man, en-
tered, into contract with big tim
Der company to furnish them with tim
ber land at certain figure. and that
to get this timber. land they brought in
settlers and located them on timber
claims, paying all expenses and fur
nishing the necessary money to make
the payments. There was an alleged
contract with each man to the effect
that as soon as he proved up on his
claim he was to sell to Kincart and
Miller'at a stipulated figure.
The play was working very smooth
ly, and nearly all Of section 13, town
ship 26, had been taken up when one
of the men. growing afraid that all the
timber land in the state would be COB
bled up, and that his friends would not
not get any of the benefits, fastened
to gather up his friends and urge them
to join the ring.
1t is said to be known that Miller
and Kincart were not to hold the land
thus obtained themselves. but the gov
ernment officials refuse to divulge the
name Of the company buying the land
from them. AS soon as the news of the
supposed fraud reached the ears Of the
government officers, they came to Rose
burg and confronted the settler who
had been urging his friends to get
In on the good thing" and he gave the
whole scheme away. 1t is not known
the government win attempt
to prosecute the settlers or not, but
several Of them have taken the hint
and left the country.

OH MISTAKEN STAMPEDE.
Erroneous Report Starts Many for the
ouinauIt Reservation.

Aberdeen. wash. Nov. 3.--A typi-
cal land stampede has just been wit
messed here and at Hoquiam. owing TO
the circulation OF a rumor. which gain
ed credence In some w6J, that the Qui-
nault reservation. or a portion OF the
Olympic forest reserve. has been
thrown open. A few went from here,
but the larger number frem Hoquinm.
In some instances men closed their
places OF business. others gave up good
positions. and all the horses and ve-
hicles IN the town were pressed into
the mad rush. one party left Hoquiam
at II o'clock at night, so as to be ahead
of all rivals.
The rumor. OF course. proved false,
and the land seekers have about all
returned 20 their occupations. The in
cident serves 10 show that unless
proper precautions are taken In open
Ing the reservation the land may be
largely grabbed up by few soon
ers' and agents for lumber companies.
II is considered here that the coming
session OF congress will probably see
the Quinault Indian reservation thrown
open. The Indians are said to be very
anxious for the allotment. and recent
acceptation Of the corrected survey
marks another step IN getting the re-
serve opened. Some think after the
Indians have their quarter-sections
the remainder win be thrown into the
forest reserve. Il is thought
BY others that the land will be dis
posed Of by lot. as was done in the

Guard Russian Ambassador.

1t is stated on the best authority
that 1t has been necessary to guard
the Russian ambassado, Count Cas-
sini and his daughter, the Countess
Cassini, for some months. and more
than once their lives have been In
danger during that time. 1t seems
incredible that such things can be.
Count Casslni is one of the highest
types of his people, courteous to the
lowest menial, genial and affable at
all times. His conduct of AFFAIRS be-
tween Russia and the United States
has always been marked by the highest
degree Of ability and there has never
been jarring note in all the years
Count Cassini did not bring on the
Japanese war, and certainly the deal
little Countess had no hand in 1t, and
why seek the lives Of these two inno-
cent people. just because wrong has
been done somewhere? who shall
dare say by whom the real wrong was
committed which brought on the
present deplorable condition of affairs
between Russia and Japan? II
reaches farther back than ken Of this
generation, and certainly those who
contemplate so flendish crime as an
assassination of the Russian ambas4
sador and his daughter need only to
become known to have justice Of the
