LYCEUM THEATRE

Charles f. Blaney has fairly out-done
all former efforts in his new play Young
Buffalo, King of the Wild West" which
comes TO the Lyceum Theatre on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday Of next week,
with matinees Monday and Wednesday
It is a good melodrama Of the sensational
type. There are real Sioux Indians
trained horses and ponies. and pistols
knives and guns until you begin to think
it war time.
The scenery is unusually attractive.
There is action Of the very liveliest kind
throughout and no one can leave and hon
estly say he or she did not get his
moneys worth. The company is a good
one for the work in hand. and Young Buff
falo. who was formerly a real cowboy
and saw strenuous service on the plains
among the "punchers" has been trans
formed into an actor. His handling Of his
pistols and his horses. shows his western
training and at once settles him firmly
in the good graces of the audience.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
August 9. 10 and II. with the usual NATL
nees on Friday and Saturday the attrac-
tion at the Lyceum Theatre will be AT
Cripple Creek" 1t is a western melo-
drama with plenty Of exciting scenes and
incidents but with a good plot. The
scenes are not unreal and it will be ex-
cellently mounted and given by a capable
company. 1t has been successful elsewhere
and will, no doubt, repeat its successes
here.

stood close by in . niche or the wall.
Bobby has been keeping me amused
while you talked to Mr.. Lakeley," she
said pointedly.
Directly addressed, Loder turned and
looked at Blessington. How d'you
do?" he said, with doubtful cordially
The name or Bobby conveyed nothing
to him.
To his surprise Eve looked annoyed
and Blessington's fresh colored face
deepened in tone. With slow, uncom-
fortable sensation he was aware Of
having struck a wrong note.
There was short, unpleasant pause.
Then, more by intuition than actual
sight, Blessington saw Ewes eyes turn
from him to Loder, and with quick
tact he saved the situation.
How d'you do, sir?" he responded,
with q smile. Il congratulate you on
looking $3.50 uncommon we'll. I was
just telling Mrs. Chilcote that hold
n commission for Lady Astrupp to-
night. I'm a sort of scout at present
reporting on the outposts" He spoke
fast and without much meaning, but
his boyish voice eased the strain.
Eve thanked him with a smile
Then we mustn't Interfere with
person on active service" she said.
Besides, we have our own duties to
get through" She smiled again and,
touching Loder's arm, indicated the re-
ception rooms.
When they entered the larger of the
two rooms Lady Bramfell was still
receiving her guests. She was tall
and angular woman who, except for q
certain beauty of hands and feet and
a certain similarity of voice, possessed
nothing in common with her sister Lii
liam. She was speaking to group of
people as they approached, and the
first sound of her sweet and rather
drawing tones touched Loder with a
curious momentary feeling-a vague
suggestion of awakened memories.
Then the suggestion vanished as she
turned and greeted Eve.
How sweet of you to Gomez she
murmured. And it seemed to Loder
up her face Then she extended her
hand to him. "And you, toor' she add
ed. Though fear we shall bore you
dreadfully"
Watching her with interest, he saw
the change of expression as her eyes
turned from Eve to him and noticed q
colder tone in her voice as she address

ed him to self assertion.
That's a poor compliment to me-"
he said ITO be bored is surely only q
polite way of being inane."
Lady Bramfell smiled. What" she
exclaimed. You defending your So
cial reputation?"
Loder laughed little. ''The smaller
it is the more defending it needs" he
replied.
Another stream of arrivals swept by
them as he spoke. Eve smiled at their
hostess and moved across the room,
and he perforce followed AS he gain
ed her side the little court about Lady
Bramfell was left we'll in the rear, the
great throng at the farther end of the
room was not yet reached, and for the
moment they were practically alone.
There was a certain uneasiness in
that moment of companionship. II
seemed TO him that Eve wished to
speak, but hesitated. Once or twice
she opened and closed the fan that she
was carrying, then at last, as if by an
effort, she turned and looked at him.
why were you so cold to Bobby
Blessington?' she asked Doesn't II
seem discourteous to ignore him as
you didT'
Her manner was subdued. It was
not the annoyed manner that one uses
to man when he has behaved i'll; II

Snyder was killed in a brawl at nu-
cams saloon on the 9Th of June, 1905.
both Dugan and Snyder exchanged
shots at each other and both Were
wounded. A coroner's inquest exoner-
ated Dugan who established satisfac-

Mr. Shively says that there is no

he can see no reason why such a move
should be contemplated.

the employees into conference last

At present the employees get from
Is to 10 cents per hour. and work as
many hours as they are required. US
ually from IL to Is hours per day.
There has been considerable dissatis-
faction over this schedule and about
100 men have quit the company dur

has been made to adjust the wage
scale by means Of a strike.
