"The Conyict's Daughter. .

Although in its fourth season, the
play has been witnessed by larger
audiences than any other melodrama
written in previous years. Itappeals
to every class of theatre-goers, from
the boy in the gallery to the mother
of the family; to sweethearts and sis
tiers, and the father who loves his
home. Yet, even with all its powers
OF entertaining, the manager has not
been satisfied to stop at that. He
has furneshed every detail in regard
to scenes and situations, properties
and mechanical devices to make q
perfect performance.
The first act opens at sCol. Gould s
home, with its pretty home-like cot
taee, beautiful flowers and shad trees,
and the air Of perfect happy content
ment. One commences to feel it's sun
shine and warmth from the very be-
ginning, and the interest neuer flags
from the first to the fifth and final
act. You are carried from one scene
to another with keen excitement, and
q great hope and desire that right
shall succeed aud wrong shall reap its
just reward, A wonderful bond OF
sympathy spreads itself through the
audience for the sweet, innocent
child of the convict and her down.
trodden father. There is but one way
to appreciate this truly great play.

NEGRO WHIPPED IN PUBLIC
RECEIVES THIRTY 9LAsHEs BE.
FORE DELAWARE CROWD.

Brutal Assault on Twd
Women Recently.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 24.-Before

for committing an atrpcious assault
and battery upon Mrs. Beatrice Frank
ish and her daughter, Miss Gussie
Leitch, two weeks ago, was publicly
whipped in the yard of the New Cas-
tie county workhouse. While there
have been many whippings in the jail
in the past none attracted the interest
as that of Conley's. More than 1000
persons clamored for admission to the
workhouse yard, which was too small
to accommodate all Of them.
c Conley walked to the whipping.post
and stood without tremor as his
wrists were fastened into the iron
bracelets. Warden Meserve took his
position, and with the crowd standing
at breathless attention, administered
the punishment. The heavy whip
!, with its nine leather tongs, each about
sixth Of an inch in diameter, fell
across the culprit's bare back with q
force that raised a large welt. This
was repeated 80 times, an assistant
warden monotonously keeping audi

sound until the sixteenth stroke, wheI
an agonized ooh" was forced from
his lips. and was repeated until thu

that no blood was drawn. The man
back, however, when the castigatiol
was completed, was mass Of darl

ders to waist. Conley staggered slight
ly when he was released, but was abb
to walk without assistance to his eel

Washington, Sept. 24.-The Nom.
bers Of the Interstate commerce com
mission have returned from Chicago
where they have been engaged in
hearings bearing upon the grain ele-
Yator problem and also In consider.
ing other questions connected with
the regulation Of interstate commerce.
Chairman Knapp said that the com.
mission would give immediate atten-
ton to the modification Of the require.
ment made Of railroads to give 80
days. notice Of any change OF sched-
lles as 1t Affects rates on imports and
on other exports than cotton. The
commission has already authorized q
modification of the law as 1t affects
the exports OF cotton. and there has
been almost as great pressure to se-
cure similar change with reference
to other articles, both OF export and
import. The transcontipe9tal rail
roads have been especially urgent for
a ruling on imports In the interest OF
the oriental business Of the country
with which they are greatly con-
cerned. In the same connection the
commission is considering the ques.
ton Of reduction of the time for
notice of reductions by roads whose
rivals fail to notify them Of proposed
changes 80 days in advance.

MINERS CAUGHT
IN SNOWSLIDE
Three Austrian Miners Caught in
Avalanche at Coal Basin
Tuesday Noon and Are
Instantly kiIIed
FUNERAL WEDNESDAY AT RtDsToNt

Three miners employed by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company at
Coalbasin, were caught in snow
slide Tuesday afternoon and instantly
killed.
Shortly after noon big slide came
down in the gulch near the entity to
the mines and during the afternoon
several smaller slides were noticed
but nothing was thought of them as
they missed the buildings and ap-
parentiy did no damage but in the
evening when the miners quit work
three of their number were missing
The first thought of their associates
was that the men had not come up
out of the mine and several men
entered the mine and made careful
search for them
When everyone was speculating on
what could have happened to the
missing miners some one suggested
that they might have been caught in
the slide before getting into the mine
at the noon hour. This theory prov
ed to be correct for after digging into
the slide of snow. ice and boulders
until nearly 10 o'clock that night they
came upon the mangled bodies of
their associates.
The unfortunate men were Herman
Kaski, Peter Stimac Meret and Peter
Jurcich, all Austrians. The former
two were married men. Death had
been instantaneous in each case. The
remains were taken to Redstone for
interment.

Biz Bands Of tks Coming

Members of the B. p o. Elks, who
live in Denver and who have made
business trips to the East during the
past two weeks, have returned to
Colorado with somewhat startling re-
port in relation to the reunion next
July.
Different members of Lodge No.
H." said William Maher. "have re
turned and have nothing but the most
enthusiastic reports to make about the
crowds that will visit Denver and
Colorado. 1t has been habit Of re-
unions to estimate the expected crowd
about three to one. We have claimed
rs, 600 visitors. 1t is true this figure
might have been high estimate two
months ago. Today it certainly is
conservative figure, according to our
reports at hand. Members of the
general committee have recently been
in Chicago. No Of Chicago. for
example is going to send special
trains to Denver. In one case a
member of the general committee
found seven different Elks who had
made up parties of from eight to
twenty four people each. The rest of
the parties are not members of the
Elks, but are going to take advantage
of the reunion and low rates to see
the west. Thousands of visitors will
spend anywhere from 10 days to a
mouth seeing Colorado 1t is easy
to guess what this will mean to the
state. The people of Colorado have a
mighty big undertaking in caring for
the visitors and the only way we can
do it in true western style, is to have
the help of every business man in the
State-not Denver-but the entire
