SPECIAL EXCURSION TO

Minneapolis Greatest Theatrical Event
-klaw & changers Mighty Beauty
Spectacle, "Mother Goose" the
Week Of March 27, at Metropolitan
Opera House.
Next Monday, March 81, at the Met
ropolitan opera house, Minneapolis, the
most notable theatrical event of years
will take place, when Klaw & Erlanger
will present their colossal production
of the greatest of the English Drury
Lane spectacles, Mother Goose at
that theater, beginning an engagement
of one week, with matinees Wednes-
day and Saturday. An idea of the inn
mensity of this production may be
cleaned from the fact that more than
400 comedians, singers, dancers and
pantOmimists appear in it, and seven
teen scenes, each as elaborate as an
entire ordinary production, and more
beautiful than has ever been seen upon
the American stage, are used. The
costumes number 1000, and cost alone
$4,000 to produce. Mother Goose
ran an entire year in London and all
last year in New York city at the New
Amsterdam theater It is the first
play of it's class ever presented in Min
neapolis, and is described as being the
mightiest exposition of beauty, quick.
rafting fun, charming melody and
spectacular magnificence known to
theatrical history. It's production will
be with the original cast and every
detail of gorgeousness which has made
the presentment the most talked of
and notable theatrical event OF the
past two years in the United States.
The music is harmonious and catchy:
the fun rollicking and in good taste;
the specialties novel and entirely diff
ferent from those seen in any other
entertainment of this kind. From a
more than casual study of Mother
Goose" it deserves the great success
and lavish praise that has been be-
slowed upon it by playgoers of Lon
don and New York.
The sale of seats will begin Thurs
day morning March 20, the prices be-
ing SO cents, $1.00, $3.50 and $500.
Mail orders, accompanied by remit.
ta1ces, will be promptly attended to.
Excursions will be run on all roads
entering Minneapolis Monday and
Tuesday, March q and 20, at reduced
rates.

order houses are making North Da-
kota the dumping ground for impure
foodstuffs, especially canned goods.
The houses are having damaged and
discredited goods relabeled, it is as
serted, and then shipped to customers
here. Some of the samples show
the material to be unfit for human
food. The houses have no agents in
the state, and as they deliver direct to
customers by express or freight, it has
not been an easy task to reach them
Pure Food Commissioner Ladd will en-
deavor to stop the practice. Since it's
organization the Fargo Commercial
club has had secretary devoting just
half his time to the work. At a meet
ing of the club recently it was deter
mined to have secretary all the time
The success Of the club has been Of
an encouraging nature, and the mem
bers see possibilities of much better
work if more time is devoted to its
interests.
The question of the state fair was
also up for consideration and it is,
planned to organize both state and
county fair associations here and run
the county fair on years that the state
fair meets at Grand Forks. The men,
bers of the club will have to back up
the fair proposition and there is a SEN
timent in favor of selecting a man for
secretary who will be able to handle
the affairs of the club and look after
the detail work of the fair associations
as well. 1t will be necessary TO Or
ganize the state fair association by
July in order to be eligible for. the

DEALS DID HE SUSPECT
CRiMiNALiTY.

Buffalo, March 49, - John Flynn,
horseman, testified yesterday in the
trial of AlonZo J. Whiteman. former
Minnesota state senator and alleged
fOrger, for larceny.
Flynn said he had known Whiteman
for nearly seventeen years. They
first met in Duluth, and then seven
years later in the San Francisco coun-
ty Jail, where they promised to be
pals. After many years they met here
during the racing season at kenil-
worth Here Whiteman told Flynn.
according to the testimony, that
rich friend wished to start in the rae.
ing game, and that he had the needed
experience to conduct the enterprise.
A few days later the horseman was in,
troduced to Whiteman's pal, Booth
man, Flynn said, masQuerading under
the name of Thomas, and supposed to
have an unlimited supply of money.
Within the next three weeks Flynn
cashed more than $4,000 worth of
checks drawn by Boothman, alias
Thomas, on a deposit in the Fidelity
Trust company, which was put there
on a draft that had been raised from
$51 to $4,000.
Boothman Unbosoms Himself.
Joseph Boothman was subjected to
lengthy cross-eXamination. He re-
lated a conversation in which he said
Whiteman had arranged to have an
account opened at the Fidelity Trust
Company of Buffalo in the name of F..
II. Hubbard, and in reply to question
| as to whether he believed Whiteman
when the defendant came to him with
$4,000 draft and said Hubbard
wished him to open an account for him
at the Fidelity, he replied that he did.
And when you Endorsed that draft
without the consent of any one, you
knew you were committing forgery"
| he was asked.
"Whteman told me to indorse it,"
was the reply.
Shifts All the Blame.
Boothman admitted that he had
been mixed up in many transactions
with Whiteman. that he had signed
checks and drafts with fictitious
names, and that he had represented
himself to be some one he was not !;
but he stoutly maintained that he had
no knowledge of criminality in any of
the transactions, and stated that ev-
erythng he did was at the suggestion
of Whiteman.
Boothman identified two checks

H. r. Thomas. He gave both checks

$4,000 check, the witness said. he gave

been drawn against the $4,000 check
