ELEYAIING STAGE
Mystery Of Death Valley the Hero
Of a Drama, Playing
- Himself.

Seattle Wash, March 1S.-Walter
Scott, the mystery Of Death Valley,
made his debut as an actor yesterday
afternoon before an audience that taxed
the theater. The play was written for
"Scotty" by Charles A.. Taylor, and is
a melodrama Of the blood and thunder
order. It's title is scotty, King Of the
Desert Mine y
Eli Smith, the Nome mailcarrier, with
his mailsled and ten dogs, is featured
as "Scotty's friend from the frozen
north; a national character loaned by
Uncle Sam. -
Scotty Is SO poor an actor that he
made the melodrama a roaring farce.
He ignored the lines and improvised as
he went along. He referred to, the same
character by several different names,
and when the audience laughed he
winked at those in the front seats. His
entrance was announced every time by
the discharge Of firearms.
Incidents in Scotty's career furnish
the basis Of the play. The curtain goes
up in the first act showing Scotty s min
ing claim, with two villains trying to
Jump it's AS they are about to shoot
the girl who is the favorite Of the camp,
Scotty steps from behind his cabin with
a rifle I'M his hand. He yells: Throw
down that Gun. y At this iuncture the
gallery applauded and Scotty put the
rife under his arm and waved his hand
to the audience. -
In New / York the villain steals a
child and Scotty, together with Eli
Smith. goes up and down Broadway
with the ten malamute dogs searching
for.the child. The dogs are represented
as having a wonderful sense of smell,
and they finally succeed in getting the
scent of the child and leading Scotty to
the rescue.
Scotty says he is putting up 49, 900
to finance the play, and that it will go
to Portland next Monday, then to San
Francisco. Chicago and New York.

enty thousand persons have been ar

offenses must, within twenty-fo q
hours Of their arrest, be confronted
with the charges and allowed to make
explanations. The circular also gem

This step on the part Of the govern

was established yesterday when the
mystery surrounding the death of his

was solved.
The girl died of poisoning month

Miss Morton, who lived with her
father, Alexander Morton, at u Madi-
son street, met, some months ago, James
Boucher, nephew Of DR.. William A.
Norval. They became sweethearts, but
for some reason there was an objection
to their marrying on the part Of Miss
Morton g family. This opposition
only served to cement the bond Of affec-
tion between them.
Gave Her Glove Charm
At last Boucher, despairing of his
suit, decided to leave Paterson. He
gave to his sweetheart just before he
left, on Feb. Z, an envelope containing
a number Of tablets. He told her they
were love potion or charm, and that
she should take one Of them every time
she thought Of him when he was alb

He told her the mysterious power Of
the tablets would bring them into a

he would know she was thinking Of

and jealousy guarded the precious tab

On Feb 9, Boucher was found dead
in q rem in a hotel in Scranton, Pa.

died of heart failure, but further ex-

EXCELSIOR VOTERS
DO VALIANT WORK
Battle of Vets and "Drys"
Waged on Hammer and
longs Lines.

With a spirited mayoralty contest to
add excitement, and the much-mooted
question Of wet or dry still in the fore
and comnsand ding the interest of every
man, woman and child in the village,
history was made in Excelsior today.
Before the doors Of the town hall
were opened to the voters at am, a
score of men were on hand to cast their
BALLOTS in decision Of the absorbing
question of license or no license, and
SO, high was the interest and anxiety
voter had east his word and even at
that early hour it was established that
the vote would be full and the total
probably the highest in the annals Of
the village.
Minneapolitans Vote Early.
The presence in Excelsior and the
early appearance at the polls of every
Minneapolitan who has the right to
vote on the saloon question bore evil
dence of the ends to whfeh the rival
parties have gone to bring out every
possible vote and the anxiety on both
other lake jewellers who have tempo
rary residences in other cities lent
their votes to one or the other of the
factions, many taking actual part in
the annual strife for the first time.
Every citizen Of Excelsior will vote
before thespolls close at pm, and the
result almost doubtless will be the
largest total vote ever registered in the
village on any question.
AS was exclusively announced in
The Journal last night, an indie
pendent ticket, headed by Mayor Z. F.
Sampson, was put before the voters
today, and it somewhat complicated the
situation. Tho the majority of the tenn
perance party supported G. |: Chiefly,
Che regular caucus nominee, it is de
clared that many anti-saloon advocates
approved of the administration of
Mayor Sampson, despite his support OF
the saloons as a lesser evil than the
1fblind pig and voted his ticket. for
mayor, tho they scratched the anti
license side of the Independent ticket.
Mayor Sampson Is ticket did not alter
the caucus nomination to any extent
T.. j. Morse appeared for councilman
in the place Of T. Moody, but other
wise the candidates named in the Sat
urday meeting, dominated by the tenn
.perance faction, were left uncontested

Another council # ght, not eoneernine

when John Panac announced himself as
candidate for councilman: His plat
form has an anticorporation plank: He
declared the village has been injured by
the interuTban in the building of its
| viaducts, which, he says, are too low.
I Lewis Hanson further complicated
the situation when he announced him
self a candidate for the park board
against William NJ. Morse, the caucus
