Lyceum-"Held BY the Enemy"

Patriotic thrills abound in William Gil
lettes civil war drama, Held by the
Enemy" and none Of them is slurred over
in it's presentation by the Lewis Stone
stock company at the Lyceum this week.
While the plot centers about the love
story Of, northern officer and O.
southern girl, the audience Is never per-
mitted to forget that great war is In
progress, just behind the scenes.
Lewis Stone as Colonel Charles Pres
colt of the northern army, does an excel
lent piece. of work. His acting, while
spirited, is at all times natural. AS
Thomas Henry Bean, the irrepressible
special correspondent" Ernest Fisher
scores comedy success. The character
work of Arthur Pattison as Uncle Rufus,
the faithful negro servant, Is notably
good. Louis Conaughy, who impersonates
Lieutenant Gordon Hayne of the confed-
crate cavalry, carries thru his one. in
tense scene with great success.
Rose Curry, who takes the role Of the
heroine, Rachel McCreery, acts well and
looks charming, Jane Wallace Davis, as
her younger sister, Susan, is delightfully."-
ingenious. The part of Euphenia Nc
Creery, the domineer1ng maiden aunt, af-
fords Louise Lewis Farnum an excellent
opportunity to display her abilities as a
character actress, and she makes the most
of it.
Well written, we'll staged and well
acted, the play is calculated to please any
one at all affected by the spirit Of the
present week. -

BRYAN'S CHARGE
AGAINST SULLIVAN
Nebraskan Says the Illinois Man
Pilfered the Democratic
Party's Rights.

Paris, Aug. 13.-William J. Bryan to-
day gave out statement concerning
the controversy respecting the Illinois
democratic national committeeman. The
controversy has grown out of Mr..
Bryan's letter demanding the resigna-
ton Of National Committeeman Roger
Sullivan, to which demand Mr.. Sulli-
van returned prompt refusal and
stated that Mr.. Bryan had been misin-
formed respecting the situation by M.
F.. Dunlap.
Mr.. Bryan rejoinder says that no
one but himself is responsible for the
information contained in his letter, and
that he had intended to ask Mr.. Sulli-
Dunlap. Mr. Bryan added:
Bryan's Statement
HI entered into this contest because
I believed that Roger Sullivan and
John Hopkins had deliberately robbed
the democrats Of Illinois Of their polit-
ical right, and I still believe so. To
secure political power by force or by
fraud ought to be as disgraceful in the
eyes of the public as to secure money
by force or fraud. I cannot conceive
of any plausible defense which Mr.. Sui
livan can make for remaining on the
national committee. If the body is un-
able to rid itself of the leadrship of
men like Sullivan, who seek to control
the party organization in order to ad-
as well dissolve. While I was anxious
! to give Sullivan a chance to retire with
out the fight, it is probably just as
well that he refused, for if we must
| fight to purify the party organization
| the sooner it begins the better.'

Crowds at Wonderland.

Wonderland had unusually large crowds
yesterday, even for pleasant Sunday.
G. A. r. visitors to the city were promi-
nent. Every attraction on the grounds
got It's slice Of patronage. The special
features at the park for this week are Of
unusual merit. Hamilton, the /aeronaut,
is to give daily flights In the Knabenshue
airship, and last evening gave an exhi-
bition Of aerial navigation that lasted for
thirty minutes. demonstrating the entire
dirigibility Of the balloon. The "Globe Of
DEATH" performed by Lemon and Rose,
the centrifugal cyclers, is fully as sensa-
tional as promised. No motor Is used to
make the globe revolve, as In a similar
act given at theater in this city last
season, and they make their rides to-
gether, one above the other, instead Of
singly. Mexieas and Mexieas, a funny
clown and dog trained to do difficult
balancing feats, give an act that Is very
entertaining. Arnaldo's remarkable
trained leopards and panthers, another
strong feature, also attracted much at
tention. IF .... ---T E-

redskins. The lieutenant and brother
officer are in love with the charming
daughter Of the commandant, and to save
his own neck and strengthen his case, the
lieutenant charges the deed to his broth
er officer, Lieutenant Hawkesworth.
Hawkesworth, however, volunteers for
dangerous service, brings aid just as
everything seems lost and the day Is won
with the girl.
Ben Johnson, a Minneapolis favorite, is
welcomed back in the role Of General
Kennion. Miss Sibyl Kline wins friends
for herself as his daughter Kate The
trying dramatic scenes between the two
are carefully handled. George Schraeder
as Lieutenant Hawkesworth wins the au-
dience by his manly and artistic work.
De Witt G. Jennings as Major Burleigh,
is gruff, lovable fighter, thoroly in love
with his son, Dick, who Is q bright char
acter Of the play. Miss Rose Swain, an
other favorite, Is charming ingenue with
many friends in Minneapolis. Miss Made
line Liggett who also has many friends
in the twin cities, and has been seen in
university productions, Is a genuine, i'm
pulsive girl as Lucy Hawkesworth, sister
of Lieutenant Hawkesworth. The cast is
exceptionally strong thruout. Charles
Lindholm, we'll known in Minneapolis, ap-
pears to advantage as John Ladru, leader

Orpheum.

Dave Lewis shines as the bright star of
the opening bill Of the Orpheum this
week. The program varies all the way
from trained dogs to highly trained
zouaves, with rifle shooting, gymnasts,
vocalists and comedians for filler. The
bill Is picked up with the idea Of appeal
ing to the varied tastes Of transient Wis
itors Of the week rather than the regu-
lars, who will take up the work Of at
tendance later, and with this fact in mind
it goes well.
Lewis is the hit Of the show, and would
shine in any company on the Orpheun
circle. His dialect stories are clever, we'll
given, and he bids fair to make the kill
ing on vaudeville boards that marked his
work in the heavier work Of comedy.
The show opens with the two Vivians
who do all of the regulation stunts and
some new ones with the rifle and revol-
yer. Lorimer Johnstone and Caroline
Cook follow with a lame skit, "a Shave
for Wife," In which the action Is great

more vaunting than the result Eleanor

Minneapolis has flung open wide her
gates and admitted with joyful welcom-
ing arms the hosts Of the Grand Army
of the Republic. Nothing that can be
added in words will make that welcome
more emphatic than the flag Of our
country flung from every housetop and
draped over every doorway. The flag
says Welcome" Welcome" "Wel-
Gomez and the spoken word is but the
echo of that greeting.
For the second time in her history
Minneapolis welcomes the Grand Army.
Twenty two years ago, when the Grand
Army met here, both the Army and
the city were younger. The city was
then but growing into it's adolescence.
The Grand Army was then in the full
vigor of physical manhood. Then the
close of the war was scarcely twenty
years distant; today the grand muster
out is forty years away. The men of
the Grand Army have been going down
the hill of life rapidly. While their
numbers are still considerable, bowed
heads and feeble steps are the rule as
they were then the exception.
This city takes a pardonable pride
in being twice selected to welcome this
great patriotic organization and in the
fact that it has given two commanders
in-chief to the society.
Minneapolis was but struggling vii
lage when President Lincoln issued his
first call for troops to suppress the re-
bellion, but men from this village were
among the first to 90, and Minnesota
made the first official response to his
call. Minneapolis has been a good
place for G. A. R. men ever since. They
have been respected, honored and ad-
vanced in the life of the city. When

ALASKA CENTRAL
RAILROAD RUSHED
By Winter of 1907 It Is Expected
Long Line Will Be Com
pleted.
Special to The Journal.


Seattle, Aug. 13.-Recent advices
from Seward, Alaska, are to the effect
that the contract has been let for the
construction of 140 miles of the Alaska
Central railroad from its present ter
minus at Turnagain Arm, and that be-
fore the winter of 1907 sets in it is
expected that 225 miles of that road
will have been completed. The latest
reports from the north state that about
nine hundred men are at work, while
the force is being increased as fast as
possible. There was some loss by deser-
tions to gold stampedes, but the ranks
New men are being sent out north
with each steamer, and it is expected
by Sept. 1st at leas, 1,500 men will be
at work on this line.
The contractors must reach the Chi
caloon coal fields within eighteen
months, according to their agreement.
This coal is described as semi-anthra-
cite, and government analysis shows it
to be the best found on the Pacific
| coast.
The prospective point is Fairbanks,
on the Tanana, and when that point is
reached and connection is made there
with the river system of transportation,
access to all parts of Alaska will have
been made much more easy and much
cheaper than now, when the only means
of transportation into the interior is
by way of the mouth of the Yukon or
| by way of Dawson.
| 1t is southern Alaska, however, the
Tanana and Copper river valleys and
the country west of the Copper river,
thru which the Seward road will run,
that is attracting most attention, and
this road, which is to penetrate central
southern Alaska, is beginning to attract
capital as a promising investment. At
the last annual election in June inn
portant eastern financial interests be-
came identified with the Alaska Cen
tral, and F. Augustus Heinze, the Mon.
tana mining operator, became a mem
Der of the board of directors.
The Alaska Central has not been re-
garded as a serious enterprise in some
quarters until recently, but in spite
of the suspicion which has followed
this project almost from the beginning,
it seems to be pushing forward on a
solid financial basis and to offer more
substantial evidences of prospective
success than any other railroad venture
now developing in Alaska.
