PUTTING IN TRIM THE THEATRE
Ten Companies Booked Already for
Season.

Manager Dudley of the theatre has
started the work of contemplated inn
proyement upon the interior of the play
house. For Obvious reasons these i'm
provements will not be nearly as ex-
tensive as first planned, as the pros
poets for future business are diAlinish-
ing somewhat. Mr.. Dudley will not
now enlarge the house, thus increasing
the stage capacity as originally planned
as the house will probably accommodate
all shows hereafter coming this way.
The theatre is being repapered, and
electric lights will be put in as an
auxiliary to gas. Thus far ten at
fractions, including three minstrel
companies, have been booked for the
next season.

KILLS WIFE AND HIMSELF
South Rend (Ind.) Man Commits
Crime in Chicago Hotel.

Chicago, Aug. 27-Charles H. An
drews Of South Bend, Ind, shot and
| killed his wife in the Saratoga hotel
and then committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the head.
The cause of the tragedy is un-
known. The couple came to the hotel
and registered under the names given
above. Nothing was seen or heard
of them until the sound of a revolver
shot was heard, and Christopher Rich
ards, who occupied an adjoining room,
ram in to ascertain the cause. The
woman was lying dead on the floor
with two bullet wounds in the head.
Andrews was standing over her with
a revolver in his hand, the blood flow
ing from his head The police We're
hastily summoned and Andrews was
taken to the hospital, but died just as
he reached there.
On a table in the room was found
letter evidently written by Andrews
and addressed to G.. W. Andrews, Jr..
Elkhart, Ind. The letter contained the
following sentences, which leads the
police to believe that the murdered
woman may not have been Mrs. An
drews.
Ethel and myself have not been
feeling very we'll of late You know
the reason why. Be good boy and

TAKEN FROM THE SHERIFF
Nebraskan Accused Of Murder Is
Iynched by Mob.

Omaha, Aug. 27.---Loris Higgins
who murdered W. L. Copple and wife
farmers, near Rosalie, Neb., May IL,
was lynched in Bancroft during the
day.
Sheriff Young of Thurston county
came TO Omaha to get his prisoner
who had been in the Douglas county
him to Bancroft on train which ar
rived there about o'clock in the
morning.
Twenty men took Higgins from the
sheriff, hauled him off in a dray and
hanged him to tree.
When the sheriff left for Omaha ne
was accosted by citizens of Bancroft
who asked him what he would do
IL they should attempt to lynch Hig-
gins.
Shoot the first man who tries It."
he said.
We'll, we just wanted to know; !;
chances are you will have some shoot
ing to do"
Higgins crime was wanton He had
worked on the Copple farm and had
some trivial dispute with Mr.. Copple
Anger over this is the only suggestion
of reason for the murder. He shot
and killed both in the barnyard.
Higgins was young man and after
his arrest became radically religious,
participating in every service held in
the jail.

OUT OF THE QUESTION
President Small Says Telegra-

CAN HOLD OUT TWO MONTHS
Union Declares the Strikers Will
Only Be Treated With as individuals
and Some Will Not Be Re-EmpIoyed.

! New York, Aug. Rehabilitation of
the telegraphers' strike as it stands
at present is out Of the question, ac-
Cordine to resident S. J. Small of the
Commercial Telegraphers' union, who
| is in the CITY, Mr.. Small said the
strikers are prepared to remain out
for two months and that the union y
support them for that tir'~. The ex-
ecutive boaru Of &c American Fedora
tion of Labor, he added, will consider
the relation of the federation to the
strike in day or two. Mr.. Small
said also tnat the week opened with
the brightest prospects for the strik-
ers, that conditions are worse for the
companies than on the day the strike
was called and that one-half the West
Elm Union force in this city failed to
report after Friday last, when, he said,
the double pay system was abolished.
He predicted that by the end of the
week the telegraph systems of the
country will be out of commission
Superintendent Brooks of the West
ern Union, in speaking of the strike
situation, said:
Our company will have nothing to
do with Mr.. Small or his union. While
we are willing to consider individual
cases of the men who went out where
We believe they did SO under pressure,
the agitators who have engineered this
situation will not be re-employed un-
der any circumstances"

STEAMER SINKS TUG
Five Men Perish in Collision on
the Atlantic Coast.
CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT
Confusion of Signals Seem to Have
Taken Place and Each Vessel
Claims the Other Was Responsible
for the Disaster Which Resulted.

Baltimore, Aug. 27.-The tug Gerry
Of Wilmington, Del, was sunk in col
lision with the British steamer Barn
stable during the night in the Patap-
SEQ river off Sparrows point. Five men
are believed TO have lost their lives
out of twenty-five who were on the
tugboat.
Six Of the survivors clambered up
the side of the steamer by means of
the anchor chain. The remainder We're
picked up by the steamers boat or
swan to a dredge moored near by.
Confusion of signals seems to have
caused the accident, each side claim
ing that the other was at fault. Cap
tain Davidson of the Barnstable said
that when the vessels were within
about 100 feet of each other the tug
suddenly changed it's course and at
tempted to cross the steamers bows
Before the latter craft could be
stopped it struck the tug, sending it
to the bottom in a few minutes The
Barnstable was not damaged. On the
part of the tugboat it was claimed
that her course was changed in COM
pliance with a second signal from the
Barnstable. The Gerry was on her
way to the dredge Standard, which is
engaged in widening and deepening
the channel at Seven Foot knoll. The
Barnstable was bound to this port

the propagation Of that doctrine Pres
ident S. j. Small OF the national or

conduct of the strike.
President Small's coming is in line
with the declaration made by some Of
the union officers a week ago that the
affair will have to be managed from
New York, and he is here to act with
the local leaders. According to his
declaration he is also devoting great
part of his attention TO the proposition
of government ownership
