MOST ELABORATE EVER HERE
n. S. Rounds Made a Canvass OF the
City Yesterday and, While Not Re.
eeivlng Much Advance Sale, An
nounoed Today Show viii Come.

H. S. Rounds Of Sioux City who yes.
tcrday made Il canvass Of Norfolk
with the idea OF noting what sort OF
n reception the presentation Of "Thc
Prince of Pilsen" would receive here,
was well enough satisfied with his
days work to announce this morning
that "Thc Prince of Pilsen," will be
in Norfolk Wednesday evening, Oc.
tobcr rs.
While the advance sale was not
what Mr. Rounds thought he should
have received, yet Manager Beall has
decided to send really high class
show to Norfolk for once just to give
the people n chance to show how they
will patronize those things and In
the prince of Pilsen." he Is send
ing to this city the best bit of theat-
rcal production that Norfolk has ever
seen.
only Company Now Out.
Mr.. Henry w. Savage has only one
company presenting that standard
musical comedy "The Prince of Pill.
sen" this season and has brought to
this organization the best members
Of the various companies that have
presented the piece in this country
and in England during its term of life,
and for three years past this most de-
lightful and successful of American
musical comedies has been presented
in all the principal cities Of this
country, recording runs of over one
year in New York. five months in
Boston, five months in Chicago and
n remarkable run of half Il year at
the Shaftesbury theatre in London.
whore it gained the prestige of being
the most charming American compo.
sitiOn of its class that ever visited
the English metropolis. The com
pany that will present this big musi-
cal comedy success here Wednesday
October rs, at the Auditorium, is a
composite of the companies that have
presented It previously-sele
from the several casts having been
made by Mr.. Savage with the inten.
tion of making the present tour the
most successful yet had.
The inherent beauty of Gustave Lu-
ders' musical contributions and the
romance and poesy of that distin-
guished the lyrics and story provided
by Frank PiXley give to "The Prince
of Pilsen" distinction that warrant
all the managerial care and expense
that are expended in keeping It at
the high water mark of excellence
Manager Beall assures the people of
Norfolk that the company that will
appear here is the only one playing
"rhe Prince of Pilsen" and is making
n tour of the principal cities from
Boston to San Francisco. Through a
combination of circumstances he was
able to arrange with Col. Savage for
the date here and the performance
will be given in it's entirety, just as
i'm the largest cities.

tutions have been subpoenaed to
appear before the grand jury
leading to the belief that the
federal authorities suspect that
there has been collision between
the companies forming the trust
in bidding on supplies for the
state institutions.

penitentiary, L. B. Baldwin Of
the home for feeble minded at
Grafton, D. F. Bangs of the
school for the deaf and dumb at
Devils Lake and ]. l.. Brown of
the reform school at Mandan
were before the grand jury this
morning. DIR. Moore of the state
insane asylum is expected to ar
rive in the city tomorrow night
and he will probably be before
the jury tomorrow.
1t is not believed any evidence
will be secured that will lead to
results. The meat for the peni-
Tertiary is butchered by the pri-
soners and most of the other in
situations contract with local
butchers. The soldiers home
at Lisbon is supplied by the
trust but the commandant was
not among those summoned to
appear before the jury.

Minot Strikes
Natural Gas

Optic: While the people Of
Minot were quietly enjoying the
beautiful showers Monday after
noon, crowd of local men were
out at the fair grounds Of the
Ward County Fair and Racing
association watching a shower
of rocks, coal, mud and other
materials which were hurled
from a dept Of 200 feet in the
earth to..a height Of about forty
feet into the air.
h In fact they gazed upon a
miniature Vesuvius which threw
out great quantities of material
form the bowels of the earth,
with the rumbling, rolling noise
present when the volcano is in
eruption. After about thirty
minutes the confusion was
brought to a close and an exami-
nation of the well which is now
in the course of construction at
the grounds, was made.
The well is: a gas well beyond
all doubt, but whether the gas
can be put to any use or not has
not been decided, and will not
be until the quality Of the gas
has been examined. At present
the gas can not be ignited as it
comes from the earth, but when
some of it is enclosed in a bottle
it very quickly spreads into a
flame. It is probable that some
chemist from the State Univer-
sity will be asked to determine
the value Of the gas. This
morning a person was almost UNI
able to get within several feet Of
the, well, without fear of being
Esuffocated. The fumes bear a
sweet ordor and are not at all
distastful to the sense of smell,
although they are quite strong.
Besides the gas features of
thissWell which is now 210 feet
deep, there is a great probability
that the local association has To-
Gated a series Of coal viens upon
its grounds. During the erups
ton yesterday afternoon, large
chunks of ignite were elected
from the interior Of the earth.
The well is indeed a wonderful
thing, for the pressure is enor-
nous and when rocks are thrown
into the well they are almost i'm
mediately hurled high into the
air. During the period Monday
when the various substances
were thrown out, there were
sixty feet of water in the well
and this was sent flying through
the air above fifty pounds pres
sure. From this it can easily
be seen that the well is indeed a
very powerful one and one that
should be thoroughly investiga-
ted.
N. A. Kennedy is the man who
is drilling the wonderful well
and he states that from 172 feet
to 1917 feet there was fine sand.
and from 1877 feet to POI feet
there was gravel. The excite
ment occurred at about 8 o'clock
Monday afternoon while there.
was quite a crowd Of spectators
present. Suddenly and without
warning the heavy iron drill was
thrown above the surface. After
this in rapid succession, came
rocks, coal and other materials.
They were lifted about forty feet
in the air, much to the astonish-
ment of those present. How J.
ever, after continuing about
thirty minutes the eruption sub
sided but the rumbIing noise
continued. NJ
This morning a committee Of
the members Of the association,
consisting Of L. S. Champine,
L. M. Davis, Charles Grow, vis-.
tied the grounds and made ex-'
animation Of the well. At that
time there was no eruption, how
ever. but the rumbling and the
high rate OF pressure still con-

On account of the incessant
rains and cold weather this year,
the outlook for wheat and corn
is not the very best up to this
time. The corn reaches scarcely
above ten inches in height, where
in the years previous it reached
almost tour feet in height. Many
farmers are complaining of rust
on wheat. This evil is attributed
to wet weather being Immediately
followed by a hot sunshine; but
remains unsolved, as there are
several farmers in this vicinity
whose wheat fields are in hrstclass
shape and with no sign of the
destructive rust. The oat fields
are in good shape, however, and
promise good crop. 1t is quite
possible that there will be a
change in the weather for the
better.
