STREET CAR HOLDUPS.
Spokane Experiences Two Robberles
Of Men In Charge of Cars.

Spokane, Nov. 1.-Two street cal
holdups occurred here last night. Ir
both cases the cars were empty and
the conductor and motorman were
the only victims of the robberies. The
first case was that of a Washington
Water Power car at the junction OF
the Great Northern railway, near
Minnehaha Park, shortly before
watch wore secured from the conduc-
watch were secured fro mthe conduc-
tor and a watch from the motorman.
The car slowed for the crossing,
when the pair of robbers emerged
from the darkness and covered the
carmen with their revolvers, COM
manding them to throw up their
hands.
The second holdup took place short
ly before midnight, when two masked
bandits halted a Corbin Park car on
the Traction company's line near Ter
minal. They went through the con-
ductors pockets, obtaining SIS and
his watch, but did not touch the mo-
torman. AS in the first case, the
last passenger had left the car just
beforc The holdup occurred.

At last definite arrangements have
been made for the reopening of the
Frazer theater and while the placs
will be leased by a stock company
there is a chance that some OF the
northwest circuit attractions may also
be secured.
Today the following announcem ant
regarding the present deal was made
by ]. r. Dickson, one OF the owners OF
the property:
"a lease on the opera house has
been entered into by the owners with
the Streeter-Bryan Stock company,
one Of the strongest stock organiza-
tions that has ever been on the west
ern coast.
"The theater will not be opened un-
til about December 1. owing to va
rious renovatiens and Improvements
required"
The Streeter-Bryan company Is the
one now playing in Baker City and It
has been drawing crowdede houses in
the small theater opposite the Geiser
Grande hotel The company plays
continuously, changing the bill weekly
and the prices are low
As to whether or not any OF the big
attractions will be secured by the
company Mr.. Dickson does not know,
though in the negotiations for the
theater such a policy was discussed.
Though the theatrical season will be
well on before the Frazer can be re-
opened 1t is believed that many of the
big troupes can be brought here
should the management so desire.
However, it may be that the stock
will prefer to use the house
exclusively themselves.
Already an additional stairway has
been placed at the west end of the
gallery and other minor improve
nents are being made by the theater
,wners. New scenery will be sup
,lied by the lesees and it is presum-
d a new curtain will be supplied.
How long the theater will remain
pen will depend doubtless on the
'atronage afforded the management,
ut it is understood that the place
'ill be kept open all through the sea-
on. But whether such is done or
ot the playhouse will be gotten into
ecent shape for usage and the sea-
on will not be entirely devoid of en-

Big Crop in Whitman County.

Mayor John Pattison of Colfax who
is in the city today speaks enthus-
iastically of financial conditions in
the northwest. Whitman county has
just harvested 100000 bushels of
wheat, the largest crop produced in
any county on the Pacific coast. AS
this wheat has been sold for an aver
age of almost 10 cents per bushel, it
means the distribution of $S,4O0,0OO
in that county. With such prosperi-
ty he ridicules any suggestion Of a
panic in the northwest.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes of
 Various Formations.

At a recent convention of German naturalists and doctors Dr. Watcher, of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper put forth a sensational theory to ex- plain the formation of the shape of the head of infants. He maintained that the head of a child could be molded artificially. He found by ex- perience that when medium-shaped head is placed in soft cushion the child turns on it's back or rests on the back of it's head, in order to free mouth, nose and face. In this manner the head rests smoothly, and short head is developed But if the medium shaped head of a child is placed on d hard under-rest, like hair mattress or rolled carpet, the child's head turns aside, as it cannot stand any more on it's head than an egg, for the muscle of the back is weakened. Therefore, with continued resting on the side long head is developed. To prove his assertions the lecturer pre- scented child whose mother and sis ter are short-headed. The child at it's birth had a short head, now after IS months it is long skulled. If the child had been placed on it's back, according to other experiences it's head would have been short-shaped. Dr. Watcher did not deny that the shape of the head was inherited, but asserted that 1t could be greatly influenced by the way the child rested.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of great western state puts the case regarding stimulants with comprehensive brevity that IS admirable. He says:
 q am 56 years old and have had con- siderable experience with stimulants. They are al alike-a mortgage on re- served energy at ruinous interest. AS the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Postum Food coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have been ap- parent from the first. The rheumatism that used to suffer from has left me. sleep sounder, my nerves are stead fer and rly brain clearer. And I bear testimony also to the food value of Postum--something that is lacking in coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read 'The Road to Melville" the quaint little book in pkgs.

Summit Hotel at Mt. Nebo.

A suit that is attracting some atten- tion is that growing out of the draw ing held at Mt. Nebo last summer. A large amount of property was in- cluded in the drawing, and the Sum- init Hotel, valued at between S4O,O0O and $50,000, was the capital prize. w. T. Dunbar of Fort Smith held 100 chances on the hotel and he traded them to Mrs. Stella Grusendorf of Fort Worth, Texas, for 160 acres of land in Texas and small tract in Arkansas. In the drawing Mrs. Grus- endorf won the capital prize, but be- fore a deed to the hotel was executed Dunbar secured an injunction and had receiver appointed. Mrs. Grusen- dorf has been allowed to take charge of the hotel and operate if. The case will come up in Febr@ary, and will be represented by prominent attorneys on both sides.
