With the great diversity of interests

divided into numerous departments.
There are many concerns in Grand

COAL INVESTIGATION.
Union Pacific Coal Rates Being In.
quired Into.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 2S.-Judge C. A.
Prouty, representing the interstate
commerce commission. has resumed
in this city the investigation of rail-
roads in connection with coal condi-
tions which was begun at Omaha last
week and was continued this week at
Salt Lake City. The Union Pacific
was the railroad under investigation
when the session opened today. The
testimony of number of witnesses
showed that the Union Pacific Coal
company secured large number of
men to sign declaratory coal state
ments taking up coal land in Wyom-
ing and at the same time to sign re-
linquishments for this land. The nay
for this service was SO or 81 in each
instance.
Among the witnesses examined to-
day was Cyrus Beard, justice of the
supreme court of Wyoming. On the
recommendation of George L. Black,
one of the officials of the Union Paci-
fic. and with money advanced by
Black, Judge Beard testified that he
purchased certain coal lands in Wy
oming. Later he sold the land to d.
o. Clark at an advance of 5000 on the
recommendation OF Black. Justice
Beard denied that he knew that Clark
was acting for the Union Pacific conf
pany.

should console herself with the re-
Election that she is much better of
than great granddaughter will be.
Judging from the utility of certain
modern improvements for private
residence, there can be no question
that they will be permanently adopted
in the future. In those days the house
hunter will deplore the difficulty of
obtaining a house. fitted with the latest
type Of electrical cooking apparatus.
and will complain bitterly OF the poor
quality of the cooling plant furnished
for use in summer. And she will
think regretfully of the days gone by.
when such simple appliances as fur
naces and gas stoves were the only
means of heating and cooking.

SOI.OISTS FOR THE DREAM
Philharmonic Especially Fortunate in
Selection for the Final Event.

In selecting the soloists for the
"Dream of Gerontius,O to be given
by the Minneapolis Symphony or
chestra and the Philharmonic club at
the Auditorium Tuesday night, the
committee of management made an es>
pecial effort both because the "Dream'
closes the season for orchestra and
club and because it is quite the most
pretentious musical performance ever
attempted by local talent, and the three
roles written for the soloists are ex-
ceedingly difficult.
Julian Walker, who is to sing the
role Of the priest, has sung in every
city of Importance in eastern Canada
and in the United States, and in 80
per cent Of these cities he has ap-
peared more than once, while in some
he has appeared a dozen times. The
press of the east is enthusiastic in its
praise of his singing. The Philadelphia
Evening Telegram describes him as
Zone of the best bassos in the coun.
try''; the Newark Evening News says:
"Only sheer delight can be felt in the
singing of Mr.. Walker.' The Pittsburg
Dispatch says: "The work of Julian
! Walker was one of the delights Of the
evening" o.. .-.

lieves that with Mr.. Walker, Mr.. Var

Lyceun Theater.

Lyceum Theater.@
The Ralph Stuart company will pre-
sent one of the best American dramas
ever written next week, and the Ly-
ceum's clientele will have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing a play which de-
lighted fathers and mothers quar-
ter of century ago.
NThe Octoroon,'5 Dion Boucicault IS
celebrated play, will be the offering,
and much may be expected OF the work
of Mr.. Stuart company in depicting
it's strong and interesting scenes. Sew
eral members of the company, nota-
bly, Lewis Stone, are thoroly familiar
with "The Octoroon,' having played
in it repeatedly, and for that season a
particularly smooth performance OF the
play is anticipated:
Aside from an intensely interesting
story, depicting the unhappy lot of
Zoe, a beautiful octoroon girl, whose
ruin is sought by northern desperate,
the play contains a fascinating story
of a murder. An Indian chief is &C
cused of the murder of a little boy
| companion, altho the real murderer is
McCloskey, the 'northerner. Some OF
the most melodramatic touches ever en-
twined about great crime sustain the
interest in the discovery of McClosky'
guilt. A camera figures with unerrine
/ Truth in fastening the crime where i
belongs, and the duel with knives IL
the canebrake between McClosky ant

/ The play will receive it's first presen
tation at the matinee performance to
morrow, and will continue thruout tn

The conspicuous merit Of the new bill
to be presented at the Unique next
week is that it is wholly new. There
are no old acts, but instead, new, bright,
attractive specialties by some Of the
best people now appearing in popular
priced vaudeville.
The best of these, or what is known
as the "head-liner' act, will be pre-
sented by the famous Lutz brothers,
rifle shots and trick musicians.
The Cox family of singers is another
important addition to the bill. But
one sketch will be presented, the new

success in vaudeville entertainment:
