FRIDAY, DRCEnssR ~. 1900.
WAS COERCION Intended,

me result OF enforcing, OF III
least attempting to enforce, the
town ordinance against gambling
has resulted in three men en-
gagged in the saloon business or
derrng their paper stopped and
withdrawing their advertise
ment One of these gentlemen
remarked that he could not pat
roniEe a paper that 'knocked
his business. The Editor of
the Echo is the executive head
of the town council and rs such
it is his sworn duty TO enforce
the law.
Now there happens 10 be a
state law against gambling, the
penalty for the violation of
which is much more severe than
that provided by the town ordi
nance. The writer does not
wish to be understood as in any
manner begging the question,
aud desires only 10 state in this
connection that notice was served
ON members of the town council
and the mayor elect by officials
OF the Great Northern railroad
that if the ordinance against
gambling was not promptly and
rigidly enforced that an attorney
of the company would call on the
prosecuting attorney and invoke
the aid of the state in suppress
ing gambling in Leavenworth,
stating that the extent 10 which
gambling Was openly carried on
here in violation of the law was
seriously interfering with the
efficiency of the company's en-
ployeeS and causing vexatious
SaruiShment suits To multiply.
These facts are stated not be-
cause the ordinance IS enforced
NJ the request of the railway
company but that those who OPP
pose lis enforcement by the town
government may know that its
non enforcement would not have
provided immunity from prose
cation under the state law. but
because 4 majority Of the council
believed it to De for the best in
tereStS of the community, and
perhaps, too, because the pro
prietorS of three Of the seven 81
looms IN Leavenworth told the
writer that they were opposed 10
gambling in saloons. That
gambling Was made illegal and
criminal BY the same law that
made the saloon business legal
and gave saloon men the right TO
collect debts and call on the law
for protection of their person
and property; that it was their
opinion that the violation Of law
by men engaged in the business
broughtit into diSrepute and was
largely responsible for the con
slant agitation Of laws restrict
ing the business
Let Us reason together, stating
the question in the least O2en-
Sive form, Does Ii not appear

The Price Of Books.

Mr.. Howells raises point in the
Easy Chair for February about the
price Of books which appears to be well
taken. He calls attention to the fact
that book by an author Of established
reputation, one who is known to have
written ably and well, sells for little
If any more in the bookstores than one
written by an unknown and perhaps OF
very little value intrinsically It takes
about as much white paper, it takes
as much typesetting, proofreading,
presswork and binding to put out the
book by the unknown as it does a book
by the author Of reputation, and the
price appears to be fixed accordingly
He wants to know when the Literary
output is going toSbe valued and SOLD
according to its quality and reputation
Just as wine or cloth OF a good many
other commoditie are sold. The ques
ton is reasonable and pertinent. WHY

The situation was serious one, but
Amidon found his way to a hotel, and
completely dazed, tried to collect his
thoughts. especially after he discovered
that five years had elapsed since he set
out on his vacation, the last thing he
now remembered. A sign in window
across the street attracted his attention

and Occultist. All Mysteries Solved" He
resolved to try her skill and find out
where he had been for the five years that
had dropped out Of his memory. The eff
fort was successful. In hypnotic state
he became Brassf1eld and told all about
himself on the Brassfield plane. He had
gone to Pennsylvania. invested in oil
lands and made a fortune. He was fur
thermore soon to marry very charming
girl, evidently the writer of the letter.
Restored from his hypnosis, Amidon re-
turned to his hotel, there to meet by ac-
cident his former lawyer in Wisconsin.
He appealed to the man to help him solve
the mystery. The lawyer agreed that
there was doubtless business in Pennsyl-
vania that needed attention. They, would
have to go and look after it. Then Ami
don felt a great sympathy for the young
| woman who must now lose her lover in
his own lost Brassfleld personality.
| There is seen at once the abundant
|
| RAISING situations-Amidon. the diffident
| meeting Brassfeld's sweetheart, for e&-
ample, of whom in his Amidon PERSONAL
| ity he could recall absolutely nothing.
]. The situation is one offering great pos
| sibilities. If Mr.. Quick has not fully
| risen to them it is not altogether surpris-
| ing. Nevertheless he has told a mighty
interesting and amusing tale, one sure
| to make one forget his cares so that by
| getting Double Trouble" one really cuts
mis- troubles in two, or possibly three or
! four.
/ Herbert Quick belongs to the coterie Of
writer's who are making Iowa famous. He
was brought up on the prairie when it
really was prairie. and lived as the
i prairie boys lived in those days when al
most everybody farmed and the simple
/ life was generally practiced. Teaching
school carried him into the law and the
law into politics, as democrat among
hopelessly republican surroundings. Once
he was mayor Of Sioux City, and many
1 people say that he was good one.

Seeing Heaven from New York.

New York has recently been greatly
interested in the alleged visit to heaven
Of young woman, who was pulled back

stood over her and shouted, Adele,
where are you going9 Come back
She returned and has been trying to
describe heaven since 50 that New York
would get some idea of the place. Her
description is somewhat vague and
rather unsatisfactory. Heaven as she
saw it was a dreary waste place with
shapeless trees and building which
was at first formless, but later turned
out to have the usual dimensions. New
York was disappointed to learn that it
was not skyscraper, but became recon
ciled again when it was informed that
this building was occupied by a court

atty Of psychic research offer fine field
for humor, and for tragedy as well-a
field that has hardly been cultivated as
much as the circumstances seem to war
rant. Herbert Quick, however, has done
something in the way of presumption,
and something worthy of note in Double
Trouble, the story of a man who quite
nnintentionally led a double life. 1t is
a story the humor of whose situation is
hard to beat.
Florian Amidon, a bachelor banker OF
Wisconsin, with tastes for art and liter
azure, set off one day on vacation. On

ADJUSTMENTS
Rilou-1"Ruster Brown. y.

Few productions that have visited Min
neapolis this season on either the pop
ular-priced or high-priced circuits will
mark up with Buster Brown appearing
at the Bijou this week. Many more pre-
tentious creations are not in shouting
distance Of it. M
Tho designed to a certain extent to ap-
peal to children, Buster Brown" is a
show that will be popular with all, young
and old. To large extent, it is pa
rade of ''unimplicated vacancies but
they are all good, and are presented with
a swing and dash that Is pleasing and
gratifying.
The main point Of excellence is the
originality and life Of the. many ensemble
numbers. The chorus is one Of unusual
ability, Is well trained and thoroly alive,
and tho worked to the limit, apparently
never tires. There are any number of
striking costume changes and new move
ments that are carried out with finish and
style. Effects are created and improved
by clever lighting.
The chorus numbers are not strikingly
clever, but are we'll rendered. The COM
pany can sing, and sing we'll, and with
it's series of clever evolutions never fails
to make good. The finale Of the first act,
Raymond's Scotch fusileers, is especially
strong in every way, and demands re-
peated curtain calls. 1t introduces q
silent gun drill and intricate maneuvers
that reflect great credit on James Cor
man, who staged them. The finale of the
second act is. strong and full Of life, but
the really good singing Of the company Is
almost drowned by the introduction Of q
cornet specially trio. A pleasing and eff.
| fective number Is, sIll Be Your Honey
by Frank Christie and male sextet.
The Hughes musical trio introduce g
| speciality that is thoroly good and makes
a hit, their cornet trio being specially
clever. Harry West, as August Book
has some parodies that make good in {
hurry. ~
Master Rice as Buster Brown, is al
that can be desired. Unfortunately {
| severe cold makes his work difficult, bu
he is ever ready and always there. Tige
| his dog Is cleverly done by Arthur Hill
| and with his little master makes a decided
hit. Mamie Goodrich as Gladys O'Flynn
4 the cook, is good, and has clever Irisl
/ song In which she Is ably supported b,
4 the chorus. Harry White as Angus
Book. and Sadie Stockton as Buster
| grandmother regular jokester's joy o
! a mother law, are entertaining. Bus
! ter's mother should never try to sin,
| without the backing Of the entire com
i pany.
The stage settings and lighting effects
i and the costumes are all good. Owing t
4 the popularity Of the piece with tn
4 Youngsters there will be matinees ever
i day except Monday and Friday. in addi
ton to the regular evening performances
