of anguish.
Good Godl They give no light"
And the echoes chartered back: mo

There was a long silence. The
huddle on the floor rocked to and
fro, his face buried in his thir
hands.
The moon had sunk, and the sky
was clear as dark glass. A cock
crowed somewhere in the east At
that sound the wretched figure rails
ed its head. Opposite him was
door with a fan shaped transom
over 1t, and as he looked it grew
gray and then rosy. Some one was
coming. Now even the cabman
could hear the light creak of steps.
Nearer they came, nearer. The door
opened, and little figure peeped
into the room-the little figure of
woman, shriveled and very old.
The man by the fireplace sprang
up. As the woman's eyes met that
CHASTITY face she gave a cry. "Ju-
das!' she screamed, "Judasp' Then
she tottered and slid in heap at
his feet. He kicked at her, but she
only lay there, gibbering: ''What do
you want? What do you want?"
At last he answered her.
at was black 1t choked me-
it was so dark-oh, so dark! l have
come back for the light they prom
ised me. They said l should find it
here; that without it my soul will
be blind-blind! Do you hear me?
Help me find it! As you were my
wife, help me find itp'
The woman crawled to her knees,
her eyes raised to his, and the ter
rifed cabman, watching through
the window, saw that the kerchief
folded across her bosom was bright
as if a lamp glowed behind it.
The other man saw it, too, and
his white claws shot out, burying
themselves in her breast. When he
had finished he held in his stained
and dripping hands the woman's
heart. 1t quivered, like the bruised
human thing it was, but the light
shining from it never wavered,
lighting the hollow of the mans
hand and the hollow of the great
room, his face and his loose, white
lips smiling widely, and the pit of
his throat, that was black as the
gate of hell; lighting, too, the tum-
bled, trampled body and the star
dust of spilled diamonds.
| He paused an instant, he whose
name was that of the dead. Then
he turned and bounded toward the
window. There was a smash OF
| glass, and the cabman felt those
smeared fingers at his own neck.
''Now take me back where came
from. Be quick, or else"- He did
not finish his threat.
| The cabby gave sick gulp, as il
his throat we're full of paste. Their
he was dragged over the ground and
flung into the seat of his cab. The
creature sprang after him, grinding
him against the dashboard with its
bony knees, where the poor cabby
chung, frantic with terror, as they
| fled, pounded, flew down the road.
When the cabman opened his eyes
again there was a great burst Of sun,
shine Above his head shone the
heavens, deep as the core Of a sap
phire, and far away he could see the
blue haze Of the city streaked witt
gray plumes of smoke. In the grass
lay his shattered cab, and high over
his head, its .pearly summit seeming
plunged in the eternal azure, rose
a marble shaft. On it we're carved
these words: ''To Judas Withers

"UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES. .


1t has been said by those who have
made a careful study of dramatic liter
atura that no play can make popular
success that has not a good love story
at its very foundation. Dramatists
have found this so true, that whatever
themes may appeal to their artistic
sense as novel or instructive material
for the basis of play. it is put aside
as not likely to meet the taste of the
majority of theatregoers and some var
iation of the old but never worn out
theme of love is again and again
written for that public which is al
ways demanding it. 1t is, no doubt,
the strength and interest of the love
story in "Under Southern Skies"
that has given it its stronghold upon
the public. The play is now in its fifth
year of uninterrupted success. playing
to crowded houses wherever it has ap-
peared. The strong story showing the
broken life and hearts of a man and a
woman, and the almost wrecked hap
piness of a young girl has never failed
to hold an audience fascinated and
deeply interested from the opening of
the play to the fall of the final cur
tain.
A novel scene introduced in the
.pla,.Tfis a Halloween celebration, the
nse which has never before beer
doFle upon the stage. Hallowe en-
tricks are performed and a pumpkin
dance follows. The diversion is so
natural and is entered into with so
much spirit that it rouses the audience
to the highest pitch of laughter and
enjoyment. Taken in its entirety,
"Under Southern Skies" has truth
fully been said to be the most origin
al, diverting and unhackneyed play of
Southern life ever written. Our
theatre patrons are to be congratulated
upon the fact that they will have an
oportunity of seeing this highly sue
cessful play. "Under Southern Skies
is to appear at the Auditorium on Sat-
urday evening, September 9th.

CANINE ACTORS WITH COZAD'S
DOG AND PONY SHOW.

When Cozard's California Dog,
Pony and Monkey circus appears here
it will be discovered that complete
entertainment lasting over two hours
can be given by animals instead of
human actors. These carefully trained
pets perform the principal roles in
dramas and comedies and in addition
give complete vaudeville program.
First comes the grand military drill
in which one hundred pretty prancing
ponies take part, lead by the wise
pony leader, "Roseberry They
march and countermarch and go through
difficult evolutions with the precision
of highly trained soldiers. Then comes
the joyous Maypole dance when clus-
tered around the sawdust arena, some
dozen children mounted on the dimun-
tive Shetlands, go through the mazes
of the dance. The demure ponies en-
ter heartily into the spirit as we'll as
the5youngsters and no prettier sight
las ever been seen. Then come the
saagcious dogs who perform the part
of fer laddies. A miniature house is
in flames; the intrepid fremen rush to
the rescue with their tiny hose carts,
soon have a stream playing on the
burning building, a baby is rescued
from the flames; patrol filled with
dog policemen dashes up an assists the
dog firemen, etc. The clown dogs,
ponies and monkeys all the while fur
nishing lots of hilarity for the little
ones. This is but an outline OF the
many startling wonders to be seen
with Cozard's Equine, Canine and ST.
mian paradox when it appears here on
Wednesday next.

A HARVEST HAND :,
BADLY INJURED
Loaded Bundle Wagon Passes Over Sack
Sewer With Threshine Outfit

The sack sewer with Dutcher's
threshing outfit, working on the old
Mckenzie place, just south of town,
came near losing his life Thursday,
being run over by wagon loaded with
wheat in the bundle.
After dinner the man had lain down
in the shade under the wagon to rest
till the thresher was started up at one
O'Clock, but falling asleep, failed to
hear the whistle that calls the men to
their duties. The driver of the wagon
under which the sleeping man was ly-
ing failed to notice him, and hitching
his team on, started out, the raar
wheels of the heavily loaded wagon
passing over the sleeping mans abdo-
men, injuring him so badly that seri-
GUS consequences We're feared for a
while, as he was in intense pain. No
bones were broken, as the wheels
passed between the ribs and the thigh
bones, but the intestines were badly
bruised, although it is believed they
were not ruptured, and unless infama-
tion sets in, the man will recover
speedily.
DR. Harris attended the injured man
and after making him as comfortable
as possible, sent him to the hospital
at Moscow, where he will E.main till
he RECEIVERS.

I Navigation has now closed on the
Snake, and boats will not run till a
rise in the water. The Mountain Gem
was tied up Wednesday morning, the
immediate cause of the tie-up bieng a
strike of the deck hands. Navigation
had become SC difficult that they
thought they were entitled to bigger
wages for the strenuous life they were
leading in lining the boat over the
rapids, but their demands were refused,
and the boat was tied up at Riparia.
The wage of the deck hands was $40
per month, with board and lodging.
The fruit growers along the river
would gladly have doubled their wages
to have kept the boat running till the
fruit was shipped out. AS it is. the
fruit must be hauled to the railroads.
Mr.. LaFollette having commenced
hauling Thursday, when a carload was
brought to Pullman and sent out over
the Northern Pacific. In order to save
the fruit, Mr.. LaFollette was obliged
to take many of his teams out of the
harvest field.
z M. c. Gray has returned from the
east, bringing with him eleven head of
beautiful thoroughbred stations for
the Burgess-Gray establishment here.
The horses are grand lot, such as
Mr.. Gray knows so we'll how to select,
and make total of twenty-four head
in the company's stables. The horses
were shipped in palace stock car, and
came through on passenger train sched-
ule, all arriving in fine condition.
Fire destroyed 1000 bushels of oats
on the w. O. Starr ranch, ten miles
south OF this city, Sunday night. The
oats were piled in stacks in the field
where they had been threshed, and it
is supposed that smouldering fire had
been left by the engine, and that the
high wind famed the Goals into fire.
Nothing was known of the fire till the
following morning. There was no in
surance.
Pullman came near having fire
to contend with Sunday night during
the big wind storm. Crossed electric
light wires started blaze on the sec
ond floor of Murray Henry's building
on Main street, but it was discovered
before it had made much progress,
and the fire was extinguished without
turning in an alarm.
Next Wednesday will be great
day for the little people, for Cozad' s
dog and pony show is coming at that
date. The tents will be pitched on
the circus ground near the Northern
Pacific tracks, in the north part of
town.

------------------
Sunday evening the worst dust
storm in the history of the country
swept over this region, coming up from
the south at about 6 80 O'Clock. The
wind attained maximum velocity of
about forty miles an hour, and the
air was so thick with dust that people
were unable to drive along the roads,
but were forced to stop at the first
farm house they came to. The wind
blew in varying degrees of violence
for about four hours, and occasioned
much damage to fruit interests, blow
ing much of the unripe fruit to the
ground, and breaking limbs from some
of the trees. Standing grain was also
considerably shattered.
Rev. w. T. Custer, of Moscow,
