Whatever may be happening in the
Far East, there is little definite infor-
nation from any quarter. The armies
In the vicinity of Mukden appear to
be limiting their activities at present
to feeling the positions of their adver-
saries. It is supposed to be the plan
of the Japanese to possess themselves
of the passes Of the Da mountain
range before making a direct move on
Mukden. Strategic and political con-
siderations seem TO make 1t essential
that General Kuropatkin make
stand there and prevent the town
from being made the winter headquar-
ters of the Japanese, while the lack
OF adequate facilities elsewhere Tor
the housing Of troops during a rigor-
Gus Manchurian winter MAKE 1T nee
essary that the japanese bend all their
energies to the capture Of that town.

 Klaw & Erlanger will present the Rogers Brothers at the Hyperion next Tuesday night in ''The Rogers Brothers in London" the best of the highly sue cessful series of six farces which John J. McNally has written for these come dians. The story has a more humorous and better sustained comic interest. the action is even quicker and more spirit ed, which is saying much, the music is more attractive to the popular ear and the specialties are more numerous. and artisicaIly developed. MT. McNally and Messrs. Hoffman and Ellis. the cornpos- CTS os the music. have done their best work in this production. The mounting of the piece is of the very best, and the audience who witness ''The Rogers Brothers in London" will undoubtedly be most thoroughly pleased over it in every respect. Seat sale opens Friday. Prices S1.5o. s1, 75c.
 Richard Mansfield will be here Thurs day night, January 2S, to reveal his much admired Karl Heinrich. crown prince of Sachen- Harrisburg, in Meyer
 
 of German University student life, "Old Heidelberg" The play of 'sOld Heidel- berg tells a simple. sweet, romantic, touching story, and MT. Mansheld's adaptation of the German original will do justice to it's characteristic German bleding of poetry, symbolism, joviality, sentiment. sadness and humor. The character of the prince seems exactly suited to Mir. Manstield's peculiar tenn perament and style, and is most fortu- nately chosen; for no Notwithstanding actor is so thoroughly imbued as MT. Mansfield is with the romance of the German fatherland, and what the public need is oleasure, the innocent, "zhirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lcngthens lise." The whole production is on MT. Mansfelds cus- tomary magnificent scale. The charm ing old student songs will be given by chorus of seventy-f1ve men. Seat sale Monday. Prices, $2, $1.50, s1.

For His Brothers Crime is the lat est offering from the pen of Charles E, Blaney. the well known builder of good melodrama. It is said to be play abounding in sensational climaxes and heart interest, and in the opinion or the author himself and the critics who have seen it, it is the best thing of the kind Mir. Blaney ever wrote. Tine play tells an Interesting story in which love out weighs every other consideration save honor. As the plot progresses the ex- citement is intense and the charm of 1t all is that most of the developments are unexpected. The climaxes os the first three acts being particularly exciting, causing the audience 10 almost rise from the seats at the conclusion of each startling denouncement For His Brothers Crime with Montgomery Irv- ing, the modern Hercules, who Is be- sides a talented romantic actor. assisted by strong company will he presented at the Grand the last three days this week with Saturday matinee.
 Lincoln J. Carters latest melodrama "Too Proud to Beg" will be seen at the Grand Monday. Tuesday and Wednes- day O. next week. The story is an in- teresting one, consistent In every re- spect, with much feeling and pathos blended into it's finely constructed plot and running through are explosive bits of comedy, wit and satire that are in the hands os some clever players. h. deed the cast Is more than the average melodrama has in its roster and they play their parts with dash, vim and energy that does credit to them as well as pleasing the public. An aerobatic turn is the only speciality :n the play performed by the wonderful Boylan children and MT. Carter has offered anyone a handsome reward to produce their equals. Wonderful does not ex- press their greatness and a large vo- cabulary of flattering adjectives is re- quired to give 8 conservative estimate of their rare ability. Matinee Wednes- day.

penses since they we're placed In pos
session last october. Many promises
have been made and It Ia understood
that the trustees have not yet aban-
doned their efforts 10 raise the amount
needed to keep the mines going. For
four months the miners and merchants
have kept the enterprise going, but last
Monday, when an expected remittance
failed 10 arrive from the east, the mer-
chants concluded that they had had
enough and refused TO furnish any
more supplies, This neceseltated the
closing OF the boarding houses az the
Old Hickory and Harrington II lckory
and Acting Manager Mays Issued or
ders for the closing down OK all Of the
properties. AZ the o. X. the boarding
house Is run by Superintendent 81 Os-
borne, who Ia able to keep things going
on his own resources, and as the min
ers were wiling TO continue work they
were permitted to do So.
Mechanics liens have been filed at
Beaver by the miners OF the Old HIck-
DRY and Harrington Hickory, many OF
whom are left stranded and viii be UNI
able TO secure their wages for some
time. The other local creditors have
taken no action, Several Beaver boys
were Obliged TO walk home. thirty
miles. A number are leaving for other
camps.
II Is given out that assurances have
been received from the east that all Of
the labor claims will be settled up this
month, and 1t seems to he the general
impression that the company win settle
up all Indebtedness before the creditors
are forced TO resort 10 extreme meas
ures, The entire indebtedness at this
end OF the line for labor, supplies, etc,
Is about $4,000. and as the greater por-
ton OF this amount is preferred lien
on the property. there is little unelsi-
ness concerning settlement, although
the long delay has paralyzed business.
Acting Manager Mays has kept things
going here for several months. without
any assistance whatever from the east,
and in the face OF innumerable obsta-
Giles, and II Is well understood that ne
has done all that he could do to relieve
the situation.
Concerning the future Of the Ma'es-
tie there is considerable doubt. but the
general impression seems 20 be that
there must be general reorganization
ana REIMBURSEMENT. II Is known hat
the various factions are still at war and
II seems impossible for the st0ckhold-
ers to act in harmony for the advance
ment OF the properties, There has never
been any question concerning the mer-
It's OF the enterprise. and Il ls the uni
versal wish that It may be speedily
placed upon n practical business basis.
