DEWEY
Folly Stock Company.

Manager Joe Oppenheimer has
spared neither pains nor expense in
perfecting this company, which will be
at the Dewey theater commencing with
today IS matinee. He is veteran man
ager, whose experience enables him to
secure the brightest beauties and olev-
crest comedians on the burlesque stage.
Mr.. Oppenheimer has been putting on
stock performances all summer and has
proved that he can give the people
what they want. The costumes are
the most expensive and the chorus is
not only pretty. but knows how to
sing and dance. The comedians are the
best that money could get. The olio
will remain the same as last week by
request, as the city people were busy
entertaining the G. A. R. and could
not witness the performance. The first
part and burlesque will be entirely new
to Minneapolis theater-goers. There
will be matinee every day. Friday
will be ladies day, and every lady at
tending either the matinee or night
performance will receive handsome
hand-painted china dish. Smoking will
not be permitted in any part Of the
theater.
The opening piece Of the perform.
ance is called "The Wild and Woolly
West. - The performance will close
with the comedy burletta entitled
lUKelly's Cafe.

METROPOLITAN
"Gismonda" and "Carnille.s

Manager Dick Ferris announces an
extraordinarily attractive double bill
for this the farewell week, Of the Fer
ris Stock company at the metropolitan
operahouse and one Of the most sue
cessful summer. stock seasons ever
played in Minneapolis will thus be
given a .ittingly glorious finale. The
two plays to be presented are Victorlen
Sardou's "Gismonda and Alexander
Dumas masterpiece, "Camille. - The
latter will be- played only on Thurs
day and Friday afternoons, and Friday
evening. Every other afternoon and
evening during the week " Gismonda ~
will be the attraction. -.
This choice of plays has been made
with a view Of ending the season with
the best that Florence Stone S roper,
tory affords, and as Gismonda and
Camille this talented emotional actress
will have an opportunity. to display
est development. The choice was also
made in response to the requests of
many of Miss Stones admirers who
have wanted to see these plays and
would have been disappointed if the
season had been ended without pres
entation of them. 4. =
Mr. Ferris has taken personal charge
of the productions and they will be
staged and eostumed with. even more
sumptuousness and a closer attention to
artistic details than when he put them
on in this city two years ago. There
has been no expense spared and Mr.
Ferris intends that. the people who. see
the Ferris Stock 'company's final efforts
of this summer will go, away? with q
most pleasant impression to last until
the company revisits Minneapolis. T.

started Saturday night week
ago Angelo Onessie had insult

assaulted Onessie, knocked him down
and gave him a severe beating. The

walked up to the bar and ordered his
drink they stepped up and shook
hands and then asked him If he had
said certain things about the former
trouble. Stumfull told them that he
had not, but told them what he had
said. No sooner had he spoken, than
Angelo jerked a revolver from his
pocket and shot Stumfull. About the
