Tho Geisha.

The Japanese comic opera, 'The
Geisha," given last Wednesday and
Thursday evenings in the opera house
under the auspices of the local p. b
o. f. lodge exceeded the fondest ex-
pectations of Greeley theatregoers,
and they expected much from the
fact that the best OF home talent had
been selected and that they had
been working faithfully with the de.
termination to make it great sue
cess.
The characters were all well taken
with no weak parts to mar the
whole, and one could scarcely be-
lieve that 1T was only amateurs, for
the performance was in places much
better than the majority given here
by the professionals.
The production was under the
guidance of II. ID. Allen, stage di-
rector, and Guilyn Thomas, musical
director, and when one stops to think
that they accomplished In about
three weeks time what stock COM
pany would not undertake In less
than ten weeks one realizes how
much credit is due them.
The fact that the costumes and
scenery we're all new and made espe-
cially for the occasion added not a
little to the brilliancy of the perfor.
nance.

BIG SHRINKAGE IN VALUES
Heavy Aggregate Loss by Drop in
Price Of Stocks.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE past week
In the stock market was the most SEN
sational in some years. Prices went
lower for many active Issues than in
the panic of May, 1901, and the shrink
age in values of some stocks ranged
from s15,o00,00O to s25, 000, 900. The
causes which made the decline were
fear engendered by the threats of fur
ther radical legislation by the federal
and various state governments, the
threatened money stringency and in
dubitable evidence of recession in va
rious branches of business. Added
to this was the failure Of a large New
England manufacturing concern and
rumors of similar embarrassment.else
where. The local situation was fur
Their complicated by the advance in
the discount rate of the Bank of Eng
land and the generally unsettled con
ditlons at the various Continental
money centers. The strike of the tel
egraph operators added to the all
around feeling of uneasiness, though it
was not very disturbing in its effect
upon business. The week closed with
prices of many speculative issues low

early part of the month.

WATCHING EVERY MOVE.
Government Spies in Employ of Big
CorporationS,

Chicago, Aug. 15.-The Record-Her-
aid says:
In Chicago alone it is said there are
at least $50 special men who are
working for railroads and for pack
inghouse companies and are watching
every move that is made with a view
Of a~scertaining whether the corpora
ton laws are observed in letter and
spirit. While no proof is obtainable
as to the presence of these spying
employees in several instances men
who have been suspected have been
removed from their positions on the
ground that they were in the employ
of the government as secret spies.
One Of the officials of this end of the
department of justice when asked if
such an army was at work for the
government said:
IF it were SO l could not tell. |
know of cases where men have lost
their positions unjustly from falling
under suspicion. l have heard the
statement made before, but I shall
neither affirm o deny it. If such
work is done agents Of the bureau of
corporations are those most likely to
be engaged in it."

Harvester Trust.

Washington, Aug. 17.-suit is to be
instituted by the government against
the International Harvester company
for alleged violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. The papers in the pro-

ture. 1t is likely the proceedings will
