SAM DEVERE S OWN
Review of Good Burlesque Show at the
Dewey.

Sam Devere s company headed by
Andy Lewis and Maude Elliot present
a burlesquc show at the Dewey theater
this week that is cleverly staged and
rcplete with ur-to-date comedy.
Both burlesques are we'll written and
have at least suggestion of a plot, so
that one is not confused by a lot. of
situations that are not connected. The
two acts were beautifully staged and
the costumes are unique. Andy Lewis
is expected, of course, to furnish most
of the comedy, but he is ably assisted
by several recruits to the burlesque
ranks who make good in the smaller
parts. Most of the songs are written
especially for this show, and altho some
of them will not be long remembered,
they are new and are we'll received. The
chorus contains more than the usual
number Of good voices and the special
dancing numbers are we'll executed.
In the olio Sam lewis and Maude Ell
lot have a racing skit entitled, "Won
at the Wire,' which is the best of it's
kind seen here for some time. The
humor, is bright, clean and Deep the
laughs coming after little wait. Gran
vile and Mack have several new ones
and few old ones in their sidewalk
turn. The act, however, is not of the
boisterous> kind and slap sticks are not
used. Winifred Stewart has a rare
contralto voice and is compelled to
answer encores until nearly exhausted.
Mcfarland and Murray are well re-
ceived in comedy singing act and the
Shrodes keep the audience in an uproar
with their comedy aerobatic turn.

BUYERS FIND THAT
LUMBER IS Up NOW

Retail lumbermen who are buying
new stocks do not pay any attention to
denlalS of an advance in the price of
northern pine. They are already find
ing it necessary to pay more for COM
mon lumber of nearly every grade and
length, and manufacturers are not will
ing to sell for delivery after the first
OF the year, except at generally ad-
vanced prices.
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman g
market report says, under the head Of

ELKs HONOR THEIR DEAD
LODGE OF SORROW INCLUDES
TRIBUTES TO ABBOTT BLUNT
AND OTHER DECEASED MEM
BEERS. ~. "

Seven candles were burning in the
Elks lodge of sorrow yesterday, and as
the names of seven brothers were called
by the secretary, a candle was snuffed
out until all were extinguished. The
candles were lighted in memory of the
lives of Frank L. Conkey, Thomas A.
Clarity, E. T. LIE Clair, Fred 0. Fiske,
Charles T: Sally, Adolph H. Filler and
Abbott Blunt.
The exercises were particularly inter
esting and impressive and the Metro
poltan theater, where they were held,
was filled to the utmost by members
OF the order and relatives and friends
of the deceased.
The opening number was a selection
by the Minneapolis Symphony quartet.
David G.. Black sang Clear Not Ye,

ehanted the opening ode. DR.. James

string quartet.
George NJ. Blocker gave short
sketch Of the life of each of the de-
parted brothers. He dwelt for a time
on the life of Abbott Blunt, whom he
characterized as one of the grandest
men who ever walked the streets of
Minneapolis
The memorial address was delivered
DX Charles ID. Hamilton, member Of
Milwaukee lodge. He spoke highly of
the lodge of sorrow, the IL o'clock
toast of the order, and, above all, of
its motto, "The faults of our brothers
we write upon the sands, their virtues
upon the tablets of, love and memory.'

W. N. Porteous. The lodge was closed
with the regular service, ending in toll

the string quartet and benediction
by DR.. Montgomery closed the services.

COMING JOHNSON'S WAY
Hennepin Candidate for Speaker Looks
Better than Ever Since Caucuses.

Candidates for speaker of the Min
nesota house are marking time. After
several days Of strenuous caucuses the
situation is still up in the air. No eau
cuses are scheduled for several days,
and the stamping grounds in st. Paul
were practically deserted today.
The prospect is better for L. H. John
son of Minneapolis than at any time
since the contest started.
1t is the general verdict that N. F.
Hugo of Duluth is practically out Of
the race. He has not been able to make
good his claims, and was given very
little consideration at the Granite Falls
caucus last Friday. He told the sew
enth district men that he had fifty-four
votes, or a majority of the republican
members, already. He was only in
Granite Falls to get acquainted. If
this claim were true the contest was
over, but the members from the sew
enth agreed that johnson and Rockne
looked better. Johnson's claim of
Twenty-Five pledged votes was given
credence.
"Johnson has strength in every con-
gressional district, something no other
candidate can say,'' remarked one Of
the supporters Of the Hennepin man to-
day. "He has also the friendship of
nearly all the other candidates, and
when the winning combination is made
there is no doubt but johnson will
be it,
