Southern Pacific Doing Great Worl
for California.

The Southern Pacific Company
has already undertaken the work,
in behalf of the entire Pacific
Coast, Of dispelling erroneous and
damaging impressions, that effect
the entire Pacific Coast, growing
out of the recent disaster at San
Francisco. Announcement is made
that in this public service the CO.
operation of public men and of
the pressis assured.
While San Francisco was burn
ing, when it was impossible to
verify rumors or to substantiate
facts, stories were circulated that
found their way into print that, if
uncontradicted, will injure not
only California, but also the other
States of the Pacific Coast.
Nothing but the truth is neces-
sary to point out that no material
neutrality-suspicious., Horticulture,
viticulture, mining, manufacture
ing, commercials suffered inter-
ruption or permanent injury. A
series of articles, prepared by men
whose regulations command re-
spect and inspire confidence, is re-
quired at this time. Such will be
arranged for and will be circulated
all over the world by the Southern
Pacific Company. The entire
American newspaper and maya
zine press will, in sympathy and
in justice to the stricken State of
California, give them all possible
publicity. Their educational value
will be great.

Whose Say-sO is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-so alone as " their cura-
tive value. OF course. such testimony is
not that of DISTINGUISHED party and
accordingly is not TO be given the same
credit as IL written from disinterested
motives. DIR. Pierce's medicines. how
ever. form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters OF
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into DIR. Pierce's full

MILLER & LUX
WIN.
Judge Hawley's Decision in
Bic Walker River Water
Controversy.

The first skirmish in the big
battle for water in the Walker
River basin, has been won by Mil
Ter & Lux, as the following from
the Carson Appeal shows:
The Hickey Land & Cattle Co.
suffered temporary defeat at the
hands of Judge Hawley in the U.
S. District Court Monday, on al
most every point of its contention
in the now celebrated Walker
River water cases.
The judge. in long decision,
granted an injunction forbidding
the company to prosecute cases
against Miller & Lux in Mono
county. Cal, and decided against
every cross bill and demurrer the
Hickey people made.
In making these decisions the
Court stated in effect that all the
eight cases brought hinge on the
first case, No. 73I. that the points
to be decided in this case are the
same points to be decided in later
cases, that in filing crossbills in
later cases and in filing two suits
in Mono county, the Hickey Land
& Cattle Company is attempting
to delay and complicate the adj
ministration of justice. For these
and other reasons, the prayer of
plaintiffs is granted, the demurrers
in which the plaintiffs state they
should not be compelled to ans
wer in Mono county, is sustained.
The cases involve the right to
the water of Walker River Mil
Ter & Lux sued T. B. Hickey and
others to prevent them from TAX
ing water from Walker River un-
til Miller & Lux Gin effect had
what they needed.
Subsequent to the filing of this
suit, T. B. Hickey formed the
Hickey Land & Cattle Company,
and defendant Hickey AYERS in
court that the formation of this
company was bona fide transac-
ton. This corporation then filed
cross bills, and filed two suits in
Mono county against Miller &
Lux, bringing two suits in that
county as the law of riparian
rights in the State of California
differs from the law of prior occu-
pancy and use of water in this
State. 10 f,t
Miller & Lux demurred to the
cross bills on the ground that the
first case would, on decision, settle
all points brought up in subse-
quent cases, and asked for re-
straining order in the Mono county
matter.
The Judge held that the U. S.
District Court has jurisdiction and
forbid the Hickey Land & Cattle
Company from proceeding further
in Mono county; held that the
first case decides them all, and
cleared the cases SO that the trial
OF No. 73I will be in effect, trial of
all the cases.
There are nearly I5odefendants
and intervenors in the big case,
and the new Judge will have a
celebrated matter to try, now that
Judge Hawley has cleared the le-
gal atmosphere.

ROBERT MANTELL.

Robert Mantell was seen again at Polls last evening enacting another Shakespearean role, "Othell0, the Moor of Venice" The stage version is the same as Edwin Booths, with the omissions and cuts. none of which are essential to the progress of the action to the climax. ManteIl's "Othello" is really pleasing and his pOrtraiture of the Moor was we'll re- ceived. His makeup was very good and he looked the part of Othello in every detail. His enunciation, as it was on Monday evening in the role of Richard III" was of the sterling quality. his lines when spoken even in whisper penetrating the remote parts of the theater. Although Mir Mantell is convincing in subtle parts, his stronghold is in lines heavily drawn out and in scenes of this kind he Is seen at his best. His rendering of OthellO was smooth, realistic and could not fail to impress his audi ence. As the ardent lover, the happy husband. the stalwart and ever ready soldier. then the change. the sus pecting husband, the mans love turned to hate by the willy Iago. and finally Othello thirsting for the blood of his wife whom he thinks has played him false, Mantell was almost living the parts. Iago as given by Francis McGinn made an ideal ap- pearance. and although his concep- ton of the part in places might have been improved. he filled the role of the trickster cleverly. Making him. self appear as man of the most hon. est principles to 0thello, Cassie and Roderigo, at the same time of the most villanious nature. his execution of his lines were very good. Iago is just as difficult role to portray rightly as Othello and all things con- sidered, Mir McGinn's work was worthy of praise. Miss Marie Booth Russell as Desdemona was fair. al- though at times she was not convinc- ing. The setting was poor.

VAUDEVILLE.

There are few things In vaudeville production more thoroughly appre- ciated here than a refined musical act and when the material is pre- sented with more than ordinary skill by artists of good deal more than common talent the effect Is doubly pleasing. These are some of the req sons why the offerings of "The Co., lonial Septet,'' which heads this weeks show at the Jacques have made such a pronounced hit with all classes of variety patrons. The scene of the action is an old Virginia mpn- or house on Halloween with a dancing party in full swing. The explanation of the idea is spoken by a girl Tn piquant ante-revolutionary attire as a chorus standing before a tapestry curtain. The picture changes to a road through the forest with the guests vending their way to the dance and the tale Is told O. the witches horn which must be winded by him who speaks before the witching hour of twelve St'i another change of scene shows the ball in full progress. the dancing Of the minuet, the singing of the old songs. a beautiful sextet selection for violins. cello and bass viol. the playing of the magic horn. a tremeu- dous instrument whose tones rumble from the heart of the brass Ike a roar of harmonious thunder and for the finale a rendition of the great old Poet and Peasant" The seven retire In a perfect hurricane of ap- plause that with reluctance suffers the rise of the curtain on the sue ceefing act IL would never do to allow such q splendid act to '

NEVER SAW A WHITE MAN.
Captain of Whale Discovers Strange ~ People in Far North.

People in Far North. Seattle, Dec 5.-News has just reached this city of the discovery ill the far north of strange people who never before seen white men. The management of the Alaska-Yu- kon-Pacific exposition will secure a number of the savages for exhibition at the international fair which is to be held at Seattle in the summer of 10O9
 !. The report of the discovery of the from the north by an officer of the revenue cutter T1iet.s. The officer has the information frst-hand from Captain Klinkinberg of the steam whaler Olga, who found the people. According to Captain Klinkinberg. the natives were found by him in the nelghborhood of Prince Albert land. Prince Albert land is in the Arctic ocean, north and west of Hudson bay. The whaler, accompanied by an Essi- mo. started inland last winter on a hunting trip They journeyed about 250 miles, in northeasterly direction. before coming up with any people, although they had found frequent in- dications that human beings resided thereabouts.
 Suddenly the whaler and bis Eski- mo met party of l50 strange look ing beings. who rushed toward them. armed with copper knives and bows and arrows. They had their weapons above their heads. The skipper pointed his rife at the host and wait ed. The company halted. and one stalwart buck advanced alone. When he had gone a short distance, he laid down iIs weapons. and Captain Kiln kinberg. willing to treat with him, dropped his rife. The sealer and saw age conversed in sign language. and Klinklnbcrg learned that none of the fellows people. except one old wo- man. ever had seen a white man be- fore.
 The whaler and the chief got ou together very we'll They visited the village. where Klinkenberg thinks there were about 0O0 people, all of whom lived by hunting and fishing. Then dress was not like that of or dinary Eskimos. but more like the dress of Greenland natives. being made of softly tanned skins sewed with deer sinews They used the most primitive utensils fashioned from bone and natise copper.
 Their winter houses were made of sod. and lined. for tho sake of further protection against cold. with skins The people were nomadic. but were accustomed to stay some time In one place. The only article seemingly brought from civilization which Captain Klinkinberg saw was a small piece of steel. evidently from some ship. This had been fashioned into a spear head

SOUTHERN SKIES" i"

UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES"
 The most interesting and impress sive play of life in the southland ex- tant to-day is undoubtedly Lottie Blair Parker's Under Southern Skies" This play has been firmly established in popular favor during the five years 1t has toured the coun- try, and the popularity of its visits seem to increase. Mrs Parker has wisely refrained from any reference to the civil war, although the period in which the play is laid closely fol- lowed the days of reconstruction. Furthermore, there is not northern CT, moonshiner or in fact any of th claptrap characters that are general ly introduced into southern plays as bid for applause. Under Southern Skies" is a marvel of stagecraft done by a master hand in stage adroit- ness. The characters are finely drawn, the dialogue is crisp and un- derstandable, the human interest
 absorbing, the comedy charming and the pathos is sincere. Under South ern Skies' will be shown here on Saturday afternoon and evening. Prices are 20. 35. 50, 75 and $l; matinee 25 and 50 cents. Tel 1OS4. Seat sale Friday.

Chicago.-A pathetic story comes from Topeka, story of the most fas. cinating human intere t, of unselfish deeds, of thoughtfulness of others, of brilliant success and sad twilight hours The man Is one who in the hey.day of his prosperity gave freely of his fortune for the cause of kindli- ness and for the wiping away of tears. To-day, with two of his chil- dren, broken in health, very close upon the verge of last resting place, he Is waiting patiently in poverty and dis tress for the one clear call.
 The man Is Billy" Williams, once the minstrel king.
 Born in Dublin. the son of success full and wealthy physical. he ran away from home, came to New Orleans. and in time took up his chosen profession. He was an intimate of Dan Rice, the famous clown and acrobat; of Jim Hayes, the dancer; of George Thol son, who wrote "Old Black Joe" a6d of many other famous men of that time. and with them Billy Williams sang and laughed and danced himself into the hearts of countless thou sands.
 But great as was his art, it was far exceeded by his generosity. His benefactions aggregated more than $100,000. When the dark days of the fever plague smote all the southland, he gave $21,000 to the city of Mem phia alone. and to another district he sent 900 barrels of -four, costing $5,- 900. He inherited fortune of 1885, 900 from his fathers estate, and with what lavish hand he gave of it is written down only in the remembrance of the recording angel

It Is doubtful whether in his whole career there came to him a single cry for assistance that was not answered promptly. Pope Leo XIII, deeply impressed by these acts of almost unparalleled goodness of heart, had struck a medal of gold, suitably inscribed. and this the aged minstrel wears to this day.
 Then his health broke. Physicians ordered him west. in 1900 he went to Denver, and for several years conduct. ed there a theatrical school and ex. change. At last his old trouble re. turned with double malignity. Mis-. fortunes showered upon him. His wife lies between life and death in a St, Louis hospital. Five children are with her. and they have scarcely the neces. sities of life.
 Do you think this is the end of Billy Willisms7 No. Kind friends are try. ing to do something for him. and sure ly an All-Wise Spirit will see to 1t that the man who gave 50 freely of his own for others will not be permit ted to come to his last hour of un- happiness and want.
