mile Modiste," in which FRITZ Scheff
comes to the Mason for the week begin
ming November II, has been one of the
sensations of the past two seasons in the
east. The book and lyrics are by Henry
Blossom, author of "The Yankee Consul"
Checkers" and "The Red MILL" while the
music is by Victor Herbert. Precisely
the same large cast and company that
was seen during the three runs of the
opera at the Khickerbocker theater in
New York is promised to appear here.
The company includes William Pruette.
Robert Michaelis, Claude Gillingwater,
Leo Mars, ]. G. Doyle, Howard Chambers,
r. W. Hunt, Miss Grace Delmar, Miss
Blanche Morrison, Miss Josephine Bart
lett, Miss Carlyn Stretlitz. Miss Ethel
Bard and Miss Bertha Holly.
Role Suits Her
In the role of Fiji, FRITZ Schen has
found a part that enables her to be as
volatile. capricious captivating and hard
working as one might desire. Madame
Scheff is woman of pronounced per-
sonal charm, with the chic Viennese man
ner, for she halls from Vienna, which has
sptly been termed "the Paris of the
Danube She has every opportunity TO
sing as only she can sing in light opera,
and she also has chance to demonstrate
that she is a comedienne of ability. Ma
dame Scheff's best numbers are the kiss
Me" song, the solo in the finale of the
first act, and ''The Mascot of the Troop, y
a martial song in which she becomes a
poetic drummer. Another big song num-
ber is William Pruette's decisive 81 Want
What Want When Want It."
mile. Modiste" has been pronounced a
most unusual work and one that will in
time rank as classic American light
opera Arrangements have been made
for special trains so that residents of out
lying cities may witness Madame Scheff's S
| performance.

whats in that sack?' he demanded.
"Schust ole scrap iron," replied the
junk man.
The sergeant lifted number eleven and
kicked the sack lightly. The Swede, In
side, realizing it was up to him, lifted
his voice and remarked:
"Yingle, yingle. yingle."
The problem of what we shall do with
our ex-leading men, which seemed likely
few weeks ago to rival in Importance
similar problem regarding the nations
ex-presidents, bids fair to settle itself
satisfactorily and muy pronto.
Mace Greenleaf, one of the distinguished
exes, is already in harness again at the
Belasco: while James Neil, another of
them. Is figuring oSa tour of Australia,
in "A Bachelors Romance" If this
scheme is carried out John Burton and
his wife. Robert Morris and Mrs. Morris
will accompany him. Morris, as of course
you know. is stage director at the Bur-
bank; while both Burton and Miss Es-
mond are prominent members of the Bur-
bank company. I don't know what Ollie
Morosco thinks of the plan. but II you
are curious you might ask him-and then
dodge.
There still remains Joseph Galbraith
and T. Daniel Frawley. Galbraith. how
ever is showing a disposition to get into
the game again. He bought vaudeville
sketch few days ago and within a few
months he'll probably be back before the
footlights. T. Daniels plans for a Los
Angeles theater do not seem to be any
nearer retaliation than they were two
months ago, but he is still looking around
and you never can tell.
So you see the exes are pretty much
agreed upon one thing: that they won't
continue to be exes day longer than
circumstances compel. Their wives are
the only influence that have kept Gal
braith and Greenleaf from the stage as
long as this; and now the latter has cut
the knot by persuading Mrs. Greenleaf
to join him in vaudeville. They have
new sketch which will be tried out up
north just as soon as Mace can get away
from the Burbank.

The Big Hunt.

At noon last Thursday word WAS
brought to Lamar that two strangers
answering the description OF the
Frisbie murderers were seen at the
John Levan farm northeast OF La
mar and posse started from La
mar to follow their trail. The hunt
which commenced then proved to be
one of the longest and most exciting
ever known in this section.
Tho trail led north and east until
the Missouri Paolfic was reached at
Brandon, and from there east along
the railroad into Kansas. The posse
was largely reinforced at vsrious
times from Lamar and all points in
Prowers county, and was also joined
by Sheriff Bailey and large mum
Der Of deputies from Kiowa county,
W. L. Bliss, who is correspond
emit Of the Denver News. In all
there were over one hundred in the
field at various times, and the
two fugitives were kept constantly
on the run. The latter were handi.
capped by lack of knowledge of the
country, but made up in nerve and
endurance for everything else. They
came very near running into the La
mar posse at Sheridan Lake and did
get close to them at Stuart, but each
time escaped. They were finally
brought to close quarters in Kansas
on Sunday afternoon and after a run
ming fight separated, one Of them be-
ing CHASED into q school building at
Aston, . little station on the Missouri
Pacific in Kansas. The door was
battered down and when he escaped
out OF the window, he was captured
BY sheriff Bailey.
On Tuesday the captured man was
brought to Lamar, and there was
very little excitement. The people
Of Lamar had determined that there
should be no disturbance and that
the man should have fair trial to
Determine il he was the murderer.
The reports in the daily papers OF
the danger of lynching here were
creatures Of the diseased minds of
sensational reporters, and never had
any foundation in fact.
The second man seems to have
made good his escape during the ex
element Of the final chase after the
one captured, and at present there
seems small hope of his capture.
The one in jail does very little
talking but denies any connection
with the murder. When captured
he gave the name of Andrew Thomp-
son and residence as Kansas City.
The reports indicate that the police
ct that place are we'll acquainted
with him.
It is belieyed from descriptions
that he is one of the men wanted at
Lsadville for the recent d. & II. g.
train robbery, under the name of
Andrew johnson. Parties from
Leadville are expected here today to
identity him il he is the man. The
reward offered there is $1,000.
