That a1 opera house is to be built in Douglas is an assured fact It will be the finest building of the kind in the territory.

The smoking room with a toilet will be provided for the men, the same as Is now in use in all of the big theaters of the East Incline exits from the galleries are to be built on both sites of the build ing, while the main entrance will be very wide, and all doors from the ioges will open on the sides di- rectly into the streets and by very wide doorways into she entrance hall. The stage will be the largest in any theater in this part of the country. 36x4o feet, which will make it large enough 10 stage any of the big trcupes that cross the continent.
 The pit floor from the rear to the orchestra will incline at a moderate angle, but will be built on a system of rollers and braces, so that 1t can be lifted in front to the level of the stage making a continuous floor from the rear of the theater to the back of the stage
 This arrangement is to make the building available for balls and par ties.
 On the first floor in front of the the atre proper there will be two stores and up stairs lodge rooms will be for rent.
 The building will be constructed of brick and stone, and will be as nearly fire proof as modern architecture can make it. Tbe ornamentation of the exterior will be carved stone and pressed brick, while the interior will be of stucco work, moulded in classic designs.
 One of the sets of plans for this structure has been prepared by Arch itect Holden, and are now in the of- flee of the International Land and I'm provement company. MT. Forbes is making another Set. which Will De seen later.

WHEN a FELLER's BROKE.

It's mighty lonely feelin'
 To te friendless and alone. Never to see a familiar face
 No matter where you roam But there's another kind Of lonesome That beats this all to smoke. Its the mighty lonely lonesome, Of knowin' that yer broke. You sec some swell young dandy, A spendin' coin galore. Yor feel that luck's agin you. And l. makes you pretty sore; You meet a crowd of comrades. Who want to laugh and joke, But you ain't got no heart to join 'em When you know that you are broke. If you only had some nickeis, You could jingle an make a noise, It's the sweetest kind of music, Music. that everyone enjoys, But when yer pockets empty. z. And your watch and coat in soak, Its a mighty tender feeling,
 This knowin' that yer broke. It really is surprisin'
 How much you want 60 eat, And you git so awful thirsty, That yer misery is complete, There's a mighty lot of longin's Lack of money will provoke But you don't how bad you want 'em Till you find out that yer broke.

These men are for the canal" he said, simply because they See @ pros, pect of getting s10,o0O.O 900 out Of It. and not because they care anything about the United States, or even about the welfare Of their own country. So turbulent were the people that for thirty years there had not been two years of peace.

 Mir. Fairbanks also found in the treaty of 1s46 justification for the atti- tude of the United States, and con tended that Colombia did not have ur- limited, sovereignty in the sense that England, Germany or France has. He insisted that if Colombia itself could not build the canal it was bound. be- cause of the attitude of the United States toward it, to permit this country to build it.
 Mir Clarke announced his disagree ment with the senators who contend ed that the president should have turned to the Nicaragua route after failing to secure Colombia's ratifca- ton of the canal treaty. His principal reason for this was announced to be his belief that We should have only a sea level canal. which. he said, vas possible on the Panama route, and not possible on the Nicaragua route. HE did not believe that any but a sea level canal would pay expenses.

to spread the strike against the pack

The first step was in calling out the

made.
The total number Of men who Quit
In response to the appeals of Pres
ident Donnelly was about 5000. 1t was
also announced by President Donnelly
that he had made arrangements for a
strike OF the switcnmen on the rail-
roads doing business in the stock yards.
and that In a short time the packers
would ind 1t impossible to ship out
their product. The %swItchmen, how
ever. have refused to strike. After a
long meeting last night, which was at

MEAT STRIKE IS

Called Out, and Meat
Famine Is Planned.
STOCK HANDLERS 60 OUT
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen anc
the Switchmen at a Meeting Last
Night Vote to Remain cs
Work.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-president Dunneily
has ordered 1.500 butcher workmen en-
ployed In the Independent packing
plants TO cease work after today. The
manager of the Union Stock Yards
company said in anticipation of a strike
of st~ockhandlers men have been in
training to take the places of the de-
serting weighers. and no trouble is ex-
pected in handling stock.
A famine In meat is declared by the
strikers to be probable as a result of
their new move against the packers.
Orders have been issued for a general
strike of all butcher workmen through
out the country. II the order is OBJ
served about 1000 men in Chicago will
he affected. II the independent plants
of large capacity in st. Louis. East st.
Louis. Omaha, Kansas City. Sioux City.
New York. Milwaukee. Syracuse and
Stickney. ILL.,. and hundreds of small
plants throughout the country will be
crippled. The union officials assert that
$4,000 men will go out. probably tomor-
row.
At 10 o'clock this morning the stock
handlers at the yards marched out and
were greeted with cheers by the union
pickets. Representatives. of the pack
ers claim there is little chance of a
meat famine.
President Donnelly is said to be de-
pending upon the union drivers for the
success of his attempt to make meat
scarce. What action the $500 grocery
and G drivers Will take remains to
be seen. Heretofore they have refused
to handle meat from the strike-affected
packers. and their employers were
forced to buy from the Independents.
1t Is also said an attempt will be
made to shut off the Ice supply from
every retail market in Chicago. In adj
dition to the stock handlers. 125 special
policemen and nearly 400 pen cleaners,
drivers of refuse wagons. and laborers,
employed by the Union Stock Yards
company, quit work. Efforts are max
ing to call out the switchmen at the
yards.
Frank F. Hawley. grand master of
the S~witchmens' Union of North Amer
lea. has been summoned to Chicago
with n view to getting the switchmen
throughout the United States to refuse
to handle cars containing anything for
The packers.
Far too many cattle are being hur-
ried to the markets. The receipts the
first half of the week were $4,000.
against $4,000 last week. The supply
was too large for the general demand
today. which was much smaller than
usual.

HILL ON POSTAL Frauds
New York Politician Attacks the Presi.
dent in His Speech at Whitney

Binshainpton. y. y, Sept. For
mer Senator David ID. Hill was the
guest today OF the Broome county fair,
which IS being held at Whitney Point,
and delivered an address.
Mr.. Hill briefly discussed the tariff
and said the democratic platform was
silent upon the money question because
that question was deemed settled. The
Almost unanimous approval by the ron
vention OF Judge Parker's telegram
operated virtually as an amendment of
the platform. and the new platform
necessarily superseded all previous na-
tional platforms.
The present campaign on the part OF
the republicans he declared. lis one of
hulnbug and false pretenses, peculiarly
Ro~oseveltism in all It's essential charac-
teristics." Mr.. Hill charged tina when
ever the president desired to impress
upon the country the greatness or
goodness of his deeds. he employed
certain magazine writer's to exploit
them, instead of communicating to the
public directly through messages or ad-
dresses. He cited n magazine article
by William Allen White. of Kansas, on
the subject. How Roosevelt Uncovered
an effort to convince the people that
the president was not responsible for
the frauds of his administration and
declared that If The article was not
dictated at the White House. 1t was
at least inspired there. 1t would fail
of It's purpose, however. because it was
not true.
Mr.. Hill took up the Philippine ques-
ton contending that the Filipinos,
when it can be safely done. should be
given their independence.
White Makes a Denial.
Kansas City, Aug. 31.-William
Allen White. referring to the statement
in Hills speech said:
THE articlc was not inspired at the
White House and the president fur
nished none of the facts"
