The Denver Express.

Manager Chalmers of the Fay
Opera House will give his patrons
a real novelty in the coming of
Holden Bros big sensation, the
Denver Express" AS a melodrama
the play has few equals; as a scenic
production it is without doubt the
most complete and elaborate of any
at present touring the country. No
expense has been spared to make
the stage settings gorgeous and
beautiful; the mechanical effects
are new and novel and surpass any,
thing in that line ever attempted in
a meiodramatic production. The
cast is all that can be desired, every
actor having been chosen expressly
on account of their fitness to por-
tray the parts. One of the strong
features of the performance, and a
feature usually omitted in plays of
this class, is the strong vein of neat
comedy that runs through the play;
numerous specialties are also in.
troduced, all neatly blended in the
story so not in any way to interfere
with the plot. The Denver Express
will be here Monday, Sept. 2.

Origin Of Expression ''23."

The origin of the expression "23
for you" is in dispute. Some claim
that it came from Dickens novel,
"A Tale of Two Cities" where the
hero was No. % at the guiliotine.
But 23 is also the number that tele-
graphers use for"keep of the wire,"
is the number of the insa ne ward at
Bellevue hospital, is the number OF
verses in Genesis where Adam and
Eve were ordered out of Eden, and
was the number of the rule in old
base ball rule books giving the um-
pire authority to eject a player from
the grounds. It is also said that
the race tracks we're formerly laid
out wide enough for "a horses so
that No. % would be left. Another
story is that big New York hotel,
in numbering it's rooms, accidently
left out No. q, and the clerk when.
ever he had an Objectionable guest
registered. would tell the oall to
"show the gentlemen to No. 23,''
meaning to kick him out.

improved Telephone Service.

The Mesaba Telephone Co. has
been making many Improvements
in the local and toll lines which
will doubtless result in an appreci-
able betterment in the service.
These improvements include ad-
ditional copper circuits, installed
during the past month, between
Virginia and the towns of Eveleth,
Biwabik and Hibbing. Conditions
have also made it necessary to do
considerable work locally to reach
new subscribers and to put the
lines in shape to Withstand storms,
etc. AS soon as practicable addi
tional cable will also be strung for
the same purpose.
1t has been found necessary also
to care for the enormous increase
in business between the two points,
to string three new circuits between
Virginia and Eveleth, and work
will soon be commenced on rebuild
ing the lead between the two places.
To further assist the service to BIZ
wabik a new circuit will also be in
stalled between Eve1eth and Biwab-
tx. The company will also install a
number of new lines between this
city and Mountain Iron in the near
future

r. A. Wildes, Jr, of Hibbing, who

mine on the range with a view to
obtaining data of interest to the
commission in the levying of
assessments.
While members of the commits
sion we're very retictnt about any
possible changes in the assessed
valuation of mines, it was learned
that the body put forth special in
terest in the ferreting out of alleged
inequalities in valuation as re-
turned, many of the smaller mines
and properties which are not being
wrought being assessed at much
higher figure, proportionately,
than are the larger properties
