MYSTIFYING ILLUSIONS.
Many Rather Wonderful Ones Are to
Be Seen at the Novelty.

Ronald Travers. who INDUCES in feats
of magic at the Novelty theater this
week. is certainly mystifying individ-
ual. His tricks of ledgerdemain are per
formed with lightning rapidity and two
or three of his illusions of the vanish
ing act order are most cleverly perform
ed. They fairly took the breath aWav
from the unusually large audiences
which attended all the performances
yesterday afternoon and last night
The popularity of the Novelty was
never better evinced than on yesterday
afternoon and last night. Although the
weather conditions were such as TO ar
tract crowds at the ball game the free
band concert and Vinewood park. there
was no falling off in the attendance at
the Novelty. This theater is making a
record for attendance that makes those
of others of q similar character in the
country look like the proverbiaI thirty
cents and the reason for it is found in
the uniformly good shows which are
provided by S. r. Wells, the manager
of the house.
In addition to Travers, the program
for this week, contains a vocal act by
the Messenger Boys Trio and an enter
tanning playlet called THE Two Rubies"
which is presented by Miss Edsan and
Arthur Forbes. For an illustrated song
Mr.. F. n. Irwin sings They All Spoke
Well of YOU" and the moving pictures
show a series of conical sketches called

BRIDAL COUPLE AMONG VICTIMS
Each Sent Cheering Message to the
Other and Then Died.

| San Francisco, Cal, May 10
Three trains bearing Shriners arrived
yesterday from the scene of the
wreck. An excursion train containing
| 25 Shriners which had been but a few
miles behind the wrecked train, ar
rived last night The train was
switched around the wreck and the
passengers agree in the statement
that it was the most deplorable sight
they ever witnessed.
Dr. Ware of Cincinnati who was
the first physician to reach the scene,
arrived last night and told a graphic
story of the terrible scenes that he
witnessed. The most pathetic incident
was the death of a bride and bride
groom at almost the same instant,
each believing that the other lived.
L. n. EHenbogen and his bride were
members of the excursion party and
were thrown from the coach on OPP
over the ground. Both were NOR
tally injured, but retained conscious
ness and exhibited remarkable brav-
cry The wife's first thought was for
her husband and the husbands first
thought was for his wife.
Tell my wife that 1 am all right"
murmured Ellenbogen to the .physi-
clan. "Give her my love and let me
know how she is"
Mrs. Ellenbogen in return sent a
message of love to her husband, with
the assurance that she was all right.
Before the physician cauld carry an
DIR. Ware was compelled to use
driftwood for pillows and cut up the
sheets on the train for bandages.

years experiences and is not satisfied
that the disaster was caused by a de-

According to his statement, the

them ahead of the engine, but they

traders, will greatly decrease the yield of

THEY MEET WILSON.
Cnlef Meat Inspectors of the Countrv
Gather at Chicago.

chicago, May 6.-Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson today met in this CITY
the chief meat inspectors of every
large city In the country for the pur-
plication of the new meat laws to the
slaughtering and packing industry.
The inspectors, numbering about
lou, met the secretary at the Audi
forum Motel and proceeded to the
Union Stock yards where the confer
ence, which is to continue for three
days, is being held. The yards and
the lacking houses were first inspected
ana an executive meeting was then
held, at which the phases of the law
were discussed
DR.. A d. Melvin, chief of the bu-
reau of animal Industry, delivered an
ADDRESS later in the day. He stated
that on July 1, 1906, there were en-
gagged in meat inspection at 1853 estab-
Hshments 764 employees. There are
now 2,O29 employees at $50 estab lish-
ments. There have been granted to
retail dealers or butchers, as provided
for by the law 1858 certificates of ex-
emption. Inspections have been with
drawn, Mr.. Melvin declared from 46
official establish ments principally be-
cause of failure to maintain a proper
standard of sanitation and in some
cases because of the use of prohibited
preservatives.
''The approximate cost" said DR..
Melvin "of the inspection as conduct
ed at this time is for cattle and calves
five cents per head: for swine. sheep
and goats, three cents per head. and
for the inspection of meats received
at official esta blishments from other
official establishments one-half of one
mill per pound"
In conclusion, DR.. Melvin declared
that the bureau had received in a gem
eral way the cooperation of the pack
ers. The greatest difficulty thus far
has been the attainment of cleanliness.
Conditions were, however, in his opfn-
Ton working steadily for the heftar

POLICE MAKE TWO RAIDS.
One Is a Water Haul, But the Other
Yields Results.

Saturday night was dark night
the police department. Chief Eaton
and his assistants raided two negro
resorts, the Mckinley club, on East
Seventh street, and the Jim Atterbridge
place at 112 Kansas avenue. When
they called at the Mckinley club they
surrounded the building, and caught a
large bunch of negroes, but. not before
they had broken down partition in a
wild effort to escaPe. None of the ne
groes were arrested. because the police
could not pick out the keeper, and
there was no use trying to house the
hundred negroes found in. After a
search for gambling parapEernalia
which was fruitless, the police lined
I'D the negroes and searched them for
concealed weapons. Nothing was found,
and raid was pronounced a water
haul .-s..-
Better luck attended the Arterbridge
raid James. who is an old offender.
was first arrested for keeping dfsor-
derby house. While there the Officers
observed a large ice chest with a lock
on it. They invited Mr.. Arterbridge to
show the contents, but he refused. La
ter, while Mr. Arterbridge was lang
uishing on the first charge, they Ie-
turned with a liquor warrant, removed
