THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AMERI
CAN PLAY EVER STAGED.

All who have seen Klaw & Erlang-
er's colossal and brilliant production
of ben Hur" agree that nothing more
flying than the Healing of the Lep-
ers'' in the last act of that stupendous
spectacle has ever been offered on the
stage of the American theater. At
this point this great play is most truly
and in high sense religious" Here
the stage seems to have consecrated
itself and all its resources to the serv-
ices of Christianity, and there is moth
ing that is not reverent, beautiful and
altogether fitting in its service. This
scene shows that the stage may be
given over to uses wholly worthy, high
ly commendable, and which cannot fail
to exert the greatest possible blessing
on mankind-that of bringing home
with immense force and dignity the
eternal truth and verify of the birth
into the world of Jesus, the Saviour of
mankind.
ben Hur" is booked for the entire
week of October End with matinee per-
formances on Wednesday and Satur-
day, at the Spokane Theatre. When it
was presented in Spokane two sea-
sons ago it created a sensation, and
was unanimously conceded to be the
largest and most brilliant dramatic
spectacle that ever toured the west
Dan Weaver, manager of the Spo-
kane theatre, will pay special attention
to orders from people of the Inland

viding the order is accompanied by re-

Chicago Police Attend Their Mayor

Chicago, Sept. 81. - A policeguard

executive has been receiving anony-
nous, threatening letters of the same
character that were sent to Chief Col
Inns a few weeks ago. They are said
to intimate that the mayors only

efforts to suppress gambling and other
vices. One patrolman walks up and
down the street fronting the mayors
house all day, and two stand guard at
night near his house
A burglar who is said to have acted
as bookmaker for the gamblers during
the day gave Chief Collins such in
formation as led him to believe he
might be able to capture the writers
and instigators of both sets of letters.
A saloonkeeper, working under the di-
rection of the gambling chiefs and a
c)terie of constables, is said to be un-
der the surveillance of the police.
Postoffice inspectors have been called
upon to aid the police, and so active
have both sets of officials been that no
letters have been received for the past
10 days.

ANOTHER INSURANCE SCANDAL
Policy Holders in Many Companies

Chicago, Sept. 7.-Infevtigation of
the affairs of the Western Life Indem-
nifty company by state. examiner has
brought to light facts tending to show
that claims of perhaps thousands of
policy holders in assessment companies
have been practically wiped out
through company manipulation. Ex-
aminer Lucius Fouts discovered that
no fewer than IS insurance companies
have terminated their existence by
merging into the Western Life Indem-
nifty company. "That MEANS" said
the examiner, that the claims of the
policy holders of the original compan-
les have gone thousgh sort of arasive
process, which leaves them practically
uninsured, although they are still pay
ing their premiums and have been do
ing so for years. This condition is not
particularly the fault of the Western
or other absorbing companies, for the
absorption is done according to law"

ELECTIONS in CUBA
PRESIDENT PALMA And PARTY
ARE VICTORIOUS.
The Liberals Claim They Lid Not Vote
Because Policemen Prevented Them
From Doing So-Found Untrue by
nvestieator-Good Order in Havana
Bombs Are Found.

Havana, Sept. 25.-The election in
Havana passed off quietly and tele-
grams from the interior say there were
no disorders except at Placetas, in
the province of Santa Clara, where
many shots were fired, but no one was
killed. The liberals admit the com
plete victory in Havana and the island
of the moderates, Lne party of Presi-
dent Palma. They claim mat they did
not vote because moderate policemen
stationed at the polls prevented them
from doing so.
A reporter of the Associated Press
visited majority of the polls here, but
at none of them noted any indication
of restraint upon voters. Good order
is being maintained throughout the
city and with the exception of a man
being shot and probably fatally in
Jured in a row and another being seri-
ously hurt on the head by a rock there
has been no trouble.
Crowds which gathered in the lib
eral clubrooms were dismissed by
orators, who informed them the mod
crates were victorious and requested
the liberals to retire to their homes.
The liberals club was closed and bar
ricaded. A number of liberals say
that this was done because they had
received word that the government in
tended to search the place for arms.
An expert of Cienfuegos, who exam
ined one of the bombs found in Con-
gresham Villeundas' room, says it
contained enough explosives to blow
up an entire block. The government
has evidence showing Villeundas took
IL bombs to Cienfuegos, only three of
which have been found, though liber-
ais have been arrested and found to
have number of bomb fuses. At
Santa Clara a search has revealed IL
bombs similar to the others found and
also small number of rifles and some
ammunition secrered near the city.
The latest kilograms received here
indicate that the elections have re-
suited in a complete government vic
tory throughout the entire island.
General Jose Miguel Gomez, COVER
nor of Santa Clara province and lib
eral candidate for the presidency of
Cuba, says that the killing of Senior
Villeundas was premeditated murder

Losing Game.


Chicago, Sept. 25.-Mayor Dunno has
been flimflammed by a beer garden
waiter out of $40. but the executive
had the satisfaction later of appear
ing against the swindler and seeing
HIM fined $75 and costs.
His honor and a party of friends

around and few glasses of beer. They

Dunno insisted upon paying it. The

bill. Meanwhile another waiter came

realized he had been stung.
He threatened to close up the place

whereby out of town visitors are
swindled unknown to proprietors or
the places. At any rate, the offending
waiter was produced in court and the
proprietors GWEN warning to investi-
gate attendants.

nounced by the London Sunday OBJ
server, with the suggestion that this
was the first tangible result of the new
Anglo-Japanese alliance and the con-
