To Be PIastered With Ads-Citizen

A prominent citizen relieved him.
self of the following yesterday:
Say, what do you think of the
management of the Keylor Grand
Theater plastering their drop curtain
with advertising cards? 1 personally

What's wrong about it," asked the
reporter.
We'll, in the first place, first class
theaters throughout the country no
longer use their drop curtains for
town directory purposes. Only in viii
lage halls and the cheapest of theat-
ers in cities does one see curtain
nowadays plastered with ads. In the
second place, when I go to a theater
don't want to gaze continually at lot
of inane business cards containing such
wonderful information as this: 60
to Jones, he'll sell you meats that
are always fresh" Smiths Bakery
our bread is never stale;" when in
town stop at the Commercial hotel;
good accommodations for man and
BEAST" and so on without end.
Wouldn't an artistic scene of some
sort look better on the drop curtain
than such rubbish as the above. In
my opinion it would.
Il thought the Keylor Grand was to
be an up-to-date play house, but with
it's drop curtain covered with ads it
doesn't look like it, But in this COM
mercial age I suppose everything must
stand aside for the almighty dollar.
But in this case I believe that the few
dollars that curtain will earn will do
the theater more harm than good. If
it is not already too late 1 believe that
the plastering of their drop curtain
with cheap ads is one question the
management of the new theater should
reconsider"

A VERY SAD CASE.

According to the story put up by
Chairman Knapp of the interstate COM
merce committee, James J. Hill has
been found guilty of rebating. The
circumstances relate to the hauling
of several thousand tons of water pipes
from Philadelphia to Winnipeg. The
Great Northern agent in Philadelphia
was plowed with by a firm which was
anxious to make contract with the
city of Winnipeg to deliver the goods.
The firm went shopping on rates, and
when it came to the Great Northern
agent, succeeded in fixing up a deal
whereby it got a rebate of cents a
hundred on the haul. With this card
up it's sleeve the Philadelphia firm went
in and scooped all contemporaries The
interstate commerce commission claims
it is a clear case.
There are two aspects of this story,
which, if true, will strike the public as
pathetic. The first will be the rage of
James J. Hill at getting caught when
he has been telling from the housetops
that he obeys the interstate commerce
law, though it is odious to him and pre-
vents him from properly developing the
country tributary to his railroad. Mr..
Hill has usually conveyed the impress
sion that if it were not for the inter-
state commerce law, the Great North
ern railroad would be twice as long
and three times as wide; the country
alongside it would be raising peaches
and bananas, and farmers would be
wearing velvet coats and shoveling
money into the savings banks. The
fearfully facilitating effect of the in
terstate commerce act has been one of
his favorite themes, and one of those
themes on which he would dogmatize
until the sun rose if he could find list
eners. But he always obeyed it-be-
cause it was the law. Alas!
And the grief of the interstate COM
merce commission at having to insti-
tute process against the Great North
ern road, when President Hill has al
ways been so friendly and fair in mis-
comments upon the commission, it's
personnel and it's work-think Of that
world, but it seems that some of them
must be performed.

ROMANCE LEADS TO BIGAMY.
Scion Of Yankee Aristocracy, Denver
Doctor, In a Double Life.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 1S.-Dr. Hen
ry Dalton, said to belong to an aris-
tocratic Massa chusetts family, a grad
uate of Harvard and Heidelburg uni
versites and a well-known cOntribu-
tor to medical journals, is a fugitive
with a charge of bigamy against him.
His first wife arrived here today
from her home in Cambridge and ex-
posed the doctors double life.
His second wife. with whom he fell
in love while he was studying at
Heidelberg, was a famous beauty
when he married her in Paris. At that
time she was the wife of Bruce Nc
Clellan, wealthy American, who was
so disgraced at his wifes actions that
he cut his own throat in a Paris hotel.
Mrs. Dalton Nc, 2 says she will
kill her husband and herself before she
will give him up. Although people in
this city have just learned of the ex-
istence of wife No. 1.
DR.. Dalton's romances with No. is
well-known to Denver society. He met
her abroad seven years ago. She
was born in Teheran, Persia. Her
father was a Satrap with power over
six provinces. He was implicated in
a revolution and banished for ten
years. Then ne took his family to
London, where his daughter, Vasyta,
was educated. She married and trav-
eled over Europe. Then she took
Paris by storm with ner violin and her
beauty and famous dancing.
DR.. Henry Dalton, brilliant young
surgeon, taking vacation from his
post graduate course at Heidelberg,
met her and lost his head and heart.
She ran away from nome, it is said,
and he followed her to Paris, where he
there married her.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-When

favor of opening Manchuria to for

mon system, and that in many of it's
details the Mommon faith is a strong
advocate of justice, righteousness and
integrity. Mormonism could be a
menace only through two cardinal
features of it's PRONUNCIATION, namely
polygamy a d hierarchy; and there is
no question that through these dis
graceful factors Mormonism was at one
time a serious menace to the country.
The question is whether these factors
are being eliminated. There is evil
dence that the practice of polygamy
is decreasing, and perhaps, also, the
principle is losing it's hold upon the
Mormon people. But whether the
principles of polygamy and hierarchy
are or are not discarded by the Nor
mons, we cannot deal with them as
a menace to the country so long as
in practice they conform to the law
to which we all owe obedience. Sena-
tor Cullom says:
1.-The principle of polygamy was
born in the guise of a revelation, from
the mind of one who considered that
the practice would promote the sue
cess of the system of ethics which he
was developing. 1t is not necessary to
consider or construe the arguments in
dorsing it. 1t flourished and Mormon
ism f1ourished with it, taking no heed
of United States law, active in ter
ri orial government until President
Arthur, at my request, sent my old
law partner, Judge Zane, to be terri
torial chief justice Of Utah, where
ne still resides a highly honored citi-
zen. He at once began a vigorous as
sault on the viola tors of the law and,
in common parlance, he made it so
hot for polygamy that another rev.
elation was promulgated, publicly, at
least, RELOCATING the practice, so far as
it is concerned of the further contract
ing of plural marriages, to grave
somewhere within the confines of the
Temple

WILL SEEK NORTH POLE.
Confident of Success Because Of Their
knowledge Of Arctic Life.

SEATTLE, Sept. 1S.-If the plans
of the International Society for Polar
Research are carried out an expedition
in quest of the North Pale win start
out in 1906 from Dawson, Yukon terri
tory. Governor w. B. McInnes of Yu
kon, is one of the leaders in the move
ment, and General Greeley, U. S. A.
thinks the plans of the society feasible.
The main differences between the
plans of the Yukon explorers and
those of expeditions in the past is
that the Yukoners expect to utilize
their knowledge of ways and means
of existence and transportation in the
Arctic
The International Society of Polar
Research was organized recently in
Dawson with 200 members. One thou
sand persons attended the public
meeting. Among the patrons were
Governor McInnis, Dr. Alfred Thomp
son, member of the Canadian parlia-
ment; Justice Dugas, Grail, and Mac
auley the highest judges of the terri
tory; Major z. T. Wood, commander
of the Northwest mounted police,
and the foreign consuls in Dawson.

The scheme for the expedition was
originated by DR.. Anthony Varicle,
who came to Dawson from Paris. In
lecture Charles Macdonald, clerk of
the territorial court of the Yukon, ex-

"Nansen had no handles to his

essential to the Yukoner
in helping right the sleighs.
Nearly every expedition sent to the
Arctic thus far has been composed Of
sailors, men who are useless On land
or anywhere but aboard snip. Those
expeditions not military were largely
semi military.
Yukoners Are Seasoned.
"All were headed and composed Of
men not acquainted with or expert
enced in the north. 1t is the object
and plan of DR.. Varicle to draw the
great contrast right here. He will
have none but the most experienced
northern mushers and travellers, and
none but most experienced and best
trained heavy Yukon dogs.
THE question of fuel and sufficient
across the ice is the stickler. Varicle
proposed to overcome this with an
auxiliary expedition of mules. He can
make the mules last $50 days or more
by killing a mule every few days for
food for the dogs.
by thus supplying the dogs with
mule meat each dog will have nothing
to haul but supplies for the men.

WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED.

The reductions in premiums recent
ly made by an eastern insurance
company have been heralded as the
opening gun in a great insurance re-
form. But comparing the old pre-
miums with the new it does not ap-
pear that this company has done
anything sensational. 1t has, for ex-
ample reduced the premium on a
$1,000 standard life policy at age 30
years from $24.1S to $21.19. This is
not a very severe reduction when one
considers that there are dozen first
class companies paying annual iivi-
dends in which the standard life rate
would come to something less than $40
on the average. On ordinary life
nom participating contracts this COM
pany makes a reduction Cat age 800
from $19.77 to $1S.65. But this con-
tract is practically term insurance
which can be purchased now from
many high class companies for or
81 less per thousand than it is offered
here.
The reductions in premiums are
not SO startling as to show that there
has been any serious robbery in the
rates before. Of course, everybody
understands that the insurance COM
need to carry on the business, and
that this overcharge belongs to the
ticularly interested in is not that
there shall be no overcharge at all,
but that the surplus Shall be taken
care of and returned when the COM
pany does not need it for safety. The
complaint today against insurance
companies is not so much that they
charge living rates for doing the bust
ness, but that they waste the surplus
left over and that they invest their
reserves in 2 per cent loans to trust
companies instead of looking up sound
and per cent investments which
would net the policy holders some
thing.
The problem before insurance COM
panies now is not so much to catch
the public with bargain counter pre-
miums as to restore the confidence of
the public in the fact that they know
how to do business and have the dis
position to do it honestly.
The investigation of the insurance
companies by the New York legisla-
ture will undoubtedly bring out a
great deal of evidence regarding the
way insurance companies are man.

the Mutual of New York had it's trust

The insurance system of these COM
panies is sound, but they have be-
come so incrusted with dishonest
business methods that they are a dis
gushing sight to the public. The pub
lie will learn a lot more about insur-
ance methods in New York unless
these powerful corporations succeed
in heading off the investigation in
whole or in part.
