THE RunaWays."

At last local theatre-goers will have
an opportunity to witness an original
production Just as it was presented in
New York City. Generally it is their
fate to see the big musical successes
played by No 2 or 8 companies, while
the original production never goes out
Of the metropolis. The tide has turned
however, the management of the Green
wood Opera House promises that the
forthcoming presentation of the big
Shubert, Nixon & Zimmerman musical
extravaganza entitled "The Runaways"
with Arthur Dunn as the star. will be
the same production that played for
over six months at the New York Casino.
Furthermore it is the only
ever organized to present this musical
comedy, in which will be seen eight
comedians, three prima donnas, the
original Casino show girls and twenty
song hits. The date here is Thursday
evening, Feb uary rs.
One Of the very clever features of
"The R~unaways" is the famous pony
ballet in radium dances, a novelty that
created the widest comment in New
York City and London, and which was
one of the most interesting offerings at
the st. Louis fair. The radium dance
is a really remarkable and m~ratifying
novelty and will be much talked about
after "The Runaways" are gone.

WILL MOVE MUCH RON ORE.
Prediction That 100000 Tons
Will Be Shipped from Lake snps-
rior Region Next Season.

From present Indications about 30.
100000 tons of iron ore will be move
from the Lake Superior region next sea-
son, This is the prediction Of a man
very prominently Identified with the
lake marine, and he does not make such
predictions without some excellent rea-
0 for his estimate.
This means that the ore movement
from Lake Superior in 1905 viii break
all previous records for q single season;
that 1t win be $500, 600 tons in excess
Of the season record, made in 1882, and
be at least 10000, 900 tons greater than
the prospective record for the present
season Of 1904. The authority says-fur-
Their that all new boats now under con-
1Btruction for the lake trade, and which
will go in commission next spring or
early in the summer, will find planty Of
business. The movement Of 30.g0OOOO
tons Of i%ronhore from Lake Superior
next season means that the SHIPMENTS
from Duluth, Two Harbors and Superior
will be In the neighborhood Of lG0OO,GOO
or II, 900, 900 tons.
The boom in shipbuilding and the ex
tensiye preparations that the Minnesota
ore roads are making for handling their
products next year all seem to bear out
the prediction Of a monster shipment
next season. 1t is especially cheering
news for Duluth and for all Of the range
towns of Minnesota, and also for all the
and shipping towns Oh the Lake
Superior region.

Radiuim Ballet.

Sam s.. Shubert, Nixon and Zimmor-
mans big musical extravaganza "The
RnDaways' with Arthur Dunn in the
stellar role, which played over six
months at the New York Casino will be
the attraction at the Greenwood Opera
House on February 10. Positive assur-
ance is given that this is the original
Casino production and the only company
ever organized to present this roaring
musical comedy which has been seen
and praised by nearly half a million
people. Over $4,000 was expended in
costumes and scenery for "The Runa-
ways. 1t is beyond all doubt one of
the grandest spectacles ever produced
on the American stage. Arthur Dunn
heads the cast Of musical excellence and
included in the company of one hundred
players are the original Casino show
girls, said to be the prettiest women of
the New York stage.
THE Runaways will be a surprise in
more ways than one. The whole town
will be talking about the famous radium
Pony ballet after this attraction is gone.
The radium dances have proved a SEN
sation wherever presented. No one
can Just exactly explain how and why
the costumes radiate and are plainly
visible, although the theatre is in a
dense darkness. The secret is In the
possession Of but one man, a certain DR..
Bulzano, IN Italian, and his discovery
has set the world talking,

UNIQUE PLAN.
south Dakota Mans Scheme Is to
Keep Moisture in the Soil
by Using sand.

Sioux Falls, S D,-J. NJ. Greene. one
OF the pioneer advocates Of irrigation
n the central and western parls Of
The state, is tine originator OF an idea
which will, il is believed, result in
good crops in central and western
South Dakota during even the Gryest
years,
His idea is to construct bitches
about two feet apart. similar to listed
bitches, but deep encagh so that a
vein of sand, three or four inches in
depth, a be placed at the bottom Of
The bitches, which can then be flied
In, leaving the sand so deep That in
piowins it would not be disturbed.
He states that the moisture VIII so
down TO the sand and form a reser-
voir which would be drawn upon by
the plant as needed, In his opinion,
bitches two feet apart would be ample,
and n or two wae0nloads of sand
to the acre would be sufficient to line
the bitches.
Experienced farmers, to whom the
plan has been explained, declare it is
practical and worthy OF adoption, and
1t is probable that several farmers will
prepare small areas of ground in this
manner next season to test the plan.
When irrigation by artesian wells
was first agitated, and farmers gem
orally were skepticaI as to the pr
ticabiiity Of this method, Mr.. Greene
bought a large area of land in the
central part of Bruce county. upon
which he constructed an extensive ir-
system. He demonstrated
that his idea was correct. and for
years successfully conducted his irri-
gated farm.

SUFFOCATED.
Woman Found Dead by Her Eight Year Old
 Daughter.

New York, April 2.-Her money and other valuables gone, her clothing torn and disarranged, marks of violence about her head and neck, and wad of cloth stuffed far down her throat so that 1t probably caused her death by suffocation, Mrs Marie Ducci, 45 years old, was found dead today in her lit tie two room apartment in Spring street. The discovery was made by her eight year old daughter, Rosie. The police are searching for two Italians, one known as Andrea Dosposito and the other unknown by name.
 Mrs Ducci frequently had boasted to her neighbors, they say, that she had a large sum of money and that she all ways carried it in her bosom. When her body was found it was lying on the floor and the front of the waist and the corset had been torn. Two bent safety pins, inside her corset, marked the place where the money had been kept.

BANK ON FIRM BASIS.
Milwaukee Institution Not Ruined by
 Dedication.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 26.-Con. fidence has again been restored in the banking institutions of Milwaukee, and the run on the First National bank and the Milwaukee Trust company, which was caused blythe confession of de- falcation by Frank G. Bigelow, until Monday president of the First National bank and director of the trust com pany. of over $1,OOO.OOO is a thing of the past, and banking affairs in Mill waukee have resumed their normal condition.
 Before the hour for opening the banks had arrived a meeting of the Milwaukee Clearing House association was held, and a committee of that in- stitution, after examining the assets and collateral of the First National bank, issued reassuring report that the bank was perfectly solvent.
 On top of this came word from the board of directors of the Milwaukee chamber of commerce announcing it's decision not to withdraw its current expense fund from the First National bank. All of these statements had a reassuring effect on depositors as to the stability of the bank.
 Early in the day crowds of men and women in all walks of life gathered in line two and four abreast and took up positions in front of the two big bank fpor institutions ond oxva;&,d xba c,~o,, ing of the doors at 10 o'clock. The line extended about half a square on East Water and Wisconsin streets from the main entrance of each institu- ton.
 One of the most spectacular happen ings of the day was the action of Mayor Rose in walking down wiscon- sin street in full view of the crowd with S5O0,OO0 in currency and gold in canvas bags. He was surrounded by policemen and detectives and walked into the bank with the treasure. This money was part of the shipment from Chicago banks and some from other Milwaukee banks.
 Casnler Frank J. klpp IS authority for the statement that much more than $2,OOO.OOO was received during the day by the bank. Al noon the street as- sumed its normal appearance and the run was completely over.
 The First National bank is deposi- tory for government departments in Milwaukee. the funds there including those of the internal revenue office and the offices in the department of justice. None will be withdrawn.
