WOUND REDEEMS COWARD
"NORTHERN LIGHTs,'' IN WHICH

NOTED FACT IN SURGICAL SCI
ENCE,

"Had anyone asked Mary Queen of
Scots why her son, James l., shuddered
at the sight of a drawn sword, she
would have answered, 'Darnley ~ -
This is the way in which the physical
cowardice Of Wallace Gray. the son of
a veteran and gallant soldier, is ex-
planned by Swiftwind, one of the char
acters in Northern Lights,' which is
running at the Lyceum this week. The
character Of Wallace Gray is a fasci-
mating study of the effect of prenatal
influence upon character. Born of
fighting stock and destined for the
army, Gray proves to be contempti-
BILE coward in his Srst battle. At last,
desperate, he re-enlists in the army.
hoping that he may be shot in action
before he has time to run.
He is shot while running SWAY from
his first action, but the wound in his
back is not fatal. He falls into the
hands of his father and, tho recog-
nized, is sentenced to the punishment
Of a coward and deserter While watt
ing trial, he is under the care of the
post surgeon, an educated Sioux named
John Swiftwind.
BY a strange chance, young Gray gets

Swlftwlnd, aware of the fact that
Gray,s father was wounded just before
the birth of his son, suspects that some
nervous defect makes the young man
fear the sound of firearms. Swiftwind
performs a delicate operation on his
spine, which relieves the pressure there
and restores his courage.
Appearing with the Frawleys in this
fascinating play are the Journal cadets,
who take. up the minor, but essential,
military roles. The play will run thru

Worry and apprehension on the part
of railroad men and shippers has not
been lessened any by the fact that the
special grand jury'fis taking a vacation:
OF one week. The suspense is wearing
on good many Of them, and this is
not relieved by the general impression
that the jury will take more and posi-
bly, new evidence when its members
recOnvene. Ea -. -.
Traffic men who have been figuring
on the possibilities of indictments re-
sulting from the jury Investigations re-
call the fact that at the time the Elkins
law was put into effect, an injunction
against any violation of the law was
issued by the federal court against FIVE
OF the ten lines running into Minneap-
oils. : These were the southwestern
lines, or the Milwaukee. North West
ern, Rock Island, Great Western and
the Burlington. In violating the law
either line would incur the danger of a
penalty for contempt of court as well
as for the actual violation of the law,
in case of conviction for the offense.
They have called attention to the
fact that four of the lines not speci-
ffically named in the injunction have
been concerned directly in the exa1nina-
ton which the special federal grand
jury has been conducting These are the
St.. Louis, Wisconsin Central, Great
Northern and Omaha lines, altho the
Omaha is virtually part of the North
estern system. The 500 and the North
ern Pacific, the other two lines not en-
joined, have not been represented by
witnesses to date, so far as can be
learned.

THE COMPOSER TRIUMPHS
Leoncavello Recalls Effect of His First
Triumph.

1t is not often that Minneapolis has
an opportunity to hear world famous
composer conduct an orchestra in his
own compositions and the appearance Of
Leoncavello will be a musical event.
The program includes the favorite ~
Pagliacci,'' the Italians masterpiece,
as well as selections from his other op-
eras, "La Boheme," "Zaza,' and the
march "America,'' which was dedi-
Gated to President Roosevelt, -
When: II Pagliacci'' was given, the
composer and his young wife were too
poor to buy even a seat downstairs in
the Scala theater in Milan and in an
obscure corner Of the balcony they
waited tremblingly for the verdict Of
the audience. When the great Bari
ton had ended the prolog,' recalls the
composer, and the public shouted,
'bravo,' 'bravissimo,' and the applause
echoed from one corner of the theater
to the other, I felt I was going to
faint. My wife could no longer re-
strain herself, she threw her arms
around me and kissed me repeatedly,
crying, You win, Ruggiero, dear, you
win I told you, you would!' - :.

A LONG STRIDE AHEAD.
British Workman Is Much Nearer to
Improved Conditions.

London, Jan. 20.=In the mass of
conflicting opinions as to the signifi-
canoe of the parliamentary elections,
two conclusions may be drawn without
much danger that they will be re-
versed by later events. One is that
Mr.. Balfour's opportunism was the
leading cause of the unionist debacle
and the other is that the British work
ingman has taken a long stride toward
the goal of better social conditions.
That is to say Chamberlainism
definite, fearless and well considered
has INDICATED its claim to be a safer
party programme than Balfourism
and labor, long ignored by the tory
and the old time WING has justified
the contention of John Burns 1 8 years
ago that organized political action
upon the part of the working class
Will finally create a party that all 9TH
ers viii have reason to respect and
some others viii reason Sto fear
How far the element of fear should
enter into the calculations of the
privileged classes, now that the labor
representatives have made such re-
markable gains, is a nice calculation.
The tories of the reactiOnary type talk
angrily Of "foreshadowed socialism. -
They pretend to see a menace to vested
rights in the presence of John Burns
in the cabinet and the 'nefariOus ac-
tivity of the communistic Keir Har6e''
chief of the Independent labor party
and labor movement in Britain and
they assert that Sir Henry Camp belI-
Bannerman's big battalions are more
than half infected with the virus of
the German social democracy" There
is much buncombe about all this.
AS a matter of fact the doctrines of
the German social democracy have
slight footing in Britain. In Campbell
Bannerman's following is represented
the majority of the British employers
of labor, and the latter are no more
disposed than are the tory landlords
to favor the Communication of the
agencies of industry and the products
of those agencies. Taking the British
population as a whole today, it con-
tains a smaller proportion of aggres-
sive socialist influence than either the
German or the American.
Liberals We're ShreWdeF.
What has happened is that the lib
erals have been shrewder judges thar
the conservatives of the way the wind
was blowing as to economic changes.
One of the grounds of Mr.. Chamber
lain's phenomenal strength in Birm-
ingham is the fact that for 20 years
allied on other issues with the tories
he has steadfastly advocated the same
betterments, social and industrial. for
the working classes, which Lord Ran
dolph Churchill. the progressive con
sentative of 1885, advocated when
the Primrose league was young.

IN THE VAUDEVILLE HOUSES.

A treat is in store for the patrons of
the Novelty theater this week. Manager
Hagen has succeeded in securing one of
the premier attractions on the vaudeville
stage. 1t is nothing less than the appear

Louis and Isabella Ihese mature DTS OF

of the smallest and most perfectly deYel-
Oped human beings who have ever ap-
peared before the public. And unlike most
midgets and dwarfs, they do something
besides exhibiting their stature. They are
clever little comedians, laugh provoking
in a thousand ways. They sing in English
and German, dance in inimitable fashion
and indulge in feats of gymnastics and
juggling which are really marvellous. But
the mldgets are not the only features on
the bill at this popular theater for this
week. Mons Gilbert in a novelty musical
act, and Bohm and Camille, two of The
funniest dutch comedy artists doing a
vaudeville turn, are on the programme, as

REVOLT IN SENATE.
Beet Sugar Senators Will Fight Phil
ippine Tariff Bill.

Washington Jan. O.-Murmurings
are already heard in the senate of a
possible revolt by the beet sugar men
against the Philippine tariff bill, taken
up today by the committee on Philip
pines for consideration. It has al
ready passed the house.
The opposition of the beet sugar in
dustry to Cuban reciprocity developed
a strength among the Republicans of
q votes. This was enough to defeat
the ratification of the treaty, two
thirds vote being necessary. The
same strength in opposition now could
not likely defeat the bill which only
requires a majority vote.
In the other fight against Cuban re-
ciprocity, Senators Elkins, Teller and
Stewart were among the leaders. Mr.
Stewart is gone. Mr.. Teller is as s:rong-
" opposed to the Introduction Of fo4 eign
sugar in the United States as he ever
was. Mr.. Elkins is reading the fight
against the administration railroad rate,
regulation bill. 1t is understood he will
be perfectly willing to mead a diversion
against that measure with the ultimate
hope of SECURING some concessions fiom
the administration on the railroad bill
The Philippine bill IS not expected
to be reported from committee for Sow
era1 weeks.

der orders not to leave their barracks
after noon today The infantry cavalry
and artillery have all been supplied with
the socalIed war munitions" The
streets are placarded with flaming red
proclamations by the police department
advising the citizens to keep away from
the possible zones of fire in the neigh
oorhood Of tOrnorrow's mass meetings.
The proclamations intimate that no

as this the kaiser had in mind five
years ago when he made his celebra ted
addfess TO the life guard regiment. adj
Juflng the soldiers that if the time came
they must not hesitate to shoot even
their brothers to preserve the life Of
their emperor and the sanctity of the

The fact that hundreds of royal and
aristoerattc persons viii be passing
through the streets tomorrow on their
way to the annual order festivities has
caused a widespread fear that the So

AS the halls wherein the meetings
are to take place hold together only
$4,000 persons and inasmuch as more
than 100000 are sure to assemble, it is
believed that conflicts Will be inevitable
when the police disperse the overflow

NORTHUMBERLAND
Three Weeks Later Enrolled in Col
Iege of Arts in x. U.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 20.-Three
weeks ago in New York city, with
three cents in his pocket, enrolled to-
day in the college of arts and sciences
of the University of Kansas and work
ing on the university grounds to pay
his matriculation fees and tending a
furnace for his board and room, is
the story of one boy who had a de-
termination to get an education.
When Harry Hibbard Kemp got
into Lawrence the night before last
on the brake beams of a freight car
he did not know a person in the city.
He had read some of Prof. w. H.
Carruth's books on German gram
mar and composition and that had
caused him to select the University
of Kansas as the place where he would
study German and Latin.
1t was dark when he knocked at
the professors door and told him his
story. The frank open face of the
boy impressed Prof. Carruth and he
told him to come to the university
the next day and he would see what
could be done for him. The profess
sor gave him dollar and told him
to get a good nights sleep. Before
the offices opened next morning he
presented himself at the registrar
door. He told them he did not have
a cent. but that he was willing to
work at anything that was honorable.
Treasurer W. K Folks was impressed
with his honesty of purpose and told
MIN that he would get him place
to work on the university grounds
This morning he entered the uni
versity as a special student taking
Horace'ss Odes. German composition
and English literature. During Inter
missions between classes he is work
ing on the sidewalk around the uni
versity. Young Kemp has led a
strange life. When IT years old he
quarreled with his father and left
home. He went as cabin boy on a
vessel to Australia. He associated
there with the common tramps and
Travelled over the whole island From
there he went to Japan and China
and thence as a stowaway to San
Francisco and then across the United
States to Mount Herman college,
Mass, where he worked his way
through school for two years. It was
there he came to know OF the Uni
versity of Kansas and determined to
enroll in it.
Kemp is undoubtedly bright fell
low" said the dean Of the college
after he had made out his course of
study. 81 believe his story implicitly %
Kemp has a fondness for the elias
sizes. In his coat pockets is a well
thumbed copy of Keats poems. I'm
never without a copy Of Keats or
Shakespeare, said he, land although
when with tramps they have threat
ened to burn them 1 have kept them
