"On the Quiet"

In "On the Quiet" the Augustus
Thomas three-act play in which Chas.
Frohman is to offer William Collier at
the Keylor Grand theater next Tues
day evening, September IL. Mr..
Thomas appears to have provided a
medium for the star that affords him
ample opportunity to display his pecu-
liar traits of comedy and to present
his talents to good advantage. The play
pleased the London public so i'm
mensely that Collier became the lion
of that big town for months, over a
year ago, and the comedian has only
just returned from Australia where
he also scored a great hit. Every
where in the United States the young
star has met with similar receptions.

WIRELESS TO THE PHILIPPINES
Navy Department Arranging To Es-
tabish Stations Along the Pa
cific Coast.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The navy
department is arranging to establish
coastwise stations of wireless tele-
graphy in the Philippines, similar to
the chain of stations reaching from
Portland, Me-, to Galveston, Tex, on
the Atlantic seaboard. Lieutenant G..
C. Sweet, of the navy, has been engag-
ed on this work for a year or more
having been sent to the Asiatic sta
ton by the bureau of equipment to
install wireless apparatus on the ships
of the far eastern fleet. He has Sc
lected the sites for the new stations
on land, and the islands have been
fully covered by the system of COM
munication. In the arrangement Of
this system special pains have been
taken to establish communication with
ships bound, for Hong Kong. The sys-
tons, which are situated in the south
ern part of the islands, 1t is hoped
eventually to install stations Of suffi-
cient power to send messages from the
Philippines to Guam, thence to Hawaii,
and so on to the Pacific coast. These
long distance relays are believed by the
experts to be possible without trouble,
and there are those who have faith in
the development of the wireless sys-
tenn to the extent that it will be pos
sble to exchange messages between
Manila and San Francisco without any
relays. The experiments conducted at
the Asiatic station have been to the
same effect as those elsewhere. The
best results are obtained at night, and
all sorts of uncertainties attend the
operation of the system, to anticipate
which battles the skill of the scien-
fists.

CREDITORS LOOK FOR Us. ALLEY
Forgotten to Pay Bills When
He Left.

RITZVILLE, WASH, Sept. 15.-The
leading topic for conversation on the
streets is the flight Of ]. s. Alley, a
thresher, who operated a rig in the
vicinity of Ritzville. His whereabouts
is not known at present although it
is stated on good authority that a war;
rant is out for his arrest and it is now
rumored that he has been located.
Some of his workmen, 10 of them,
claim that only a small portion of their
wages have been paid, and some claim
to have received nothing on account.
Many of the farmers for whom Alley
threshed left the amount Of his bills
against them in the German-American
bank, subject to his order and the
money has been freely checked out.
Now the laborers who hoped to Oper-
ate the threshing rig are claiming a
lien on the grain to the extent of their
wages and in most cases the farmers
are paying the claims to avoid litiga-
ton. Alley is indebted to some of the
large general stores to the extent of
several hundred dollars, and the air
is filled with talk about liens, attach
ments and garnishments
Some Of the farmers who have paid
claims presented by laborers for their
services are: L. ]. Schaefer, ]. Adler,
P Werttemberger. In several cases
these men are paying the bills twice
in order to avoid litigation.

Murderous Blow.

ROCHESTER, Mimi, Sept. 15-Rob-
ert Harvey, 25 years old, a farmland,
is in Jail here, charged with assault
with intent to kill, and upon the out
come of the injuries of Walter Dunn,
a prosperous farmer of Wabasha coun-
ty, depends the possibility of the
charge being changed to one of MUIR
der. Dunn is in a precarious condi-
ton, his skull being fractured.
Dunn was assisting with threshing
operations on the Bentley farm, where
Harvey was employed. Harvey for
merly had worked for him, and there
is said to have been a dispute about
wages which Harvey claimed to be
due him. He fought with George Dunn,
son of his former employer, and
when the elder Dunn demonstrated
Harvey is said to have struck him over
the head with a pump handle.
