MISS o'NEIL PRESENTS
A NEW LADY MACBETH

Nance O'Neil remains the feature of the
Orpheum bill. This week she is playing
the walking scene from ''Macbeath." I"
The Lady Macbeth of Miss O'Neil is bet
ter than her Leah and more interesting.
The scene given at the Orpheum does not
the sleep-walking scope from Macbeth" Z"
as the condensed version of Leah" given
last week does of that play, but there is
more of interest in this one scene than
in the whole of Leah"
Nance O'Neil looks Lady Macbeth,
whereas 1t required stretch of the i'm
agination to call her Leah the Jewess.
Her features and fiaxen hair are distinctly
not Hebriac, but these as well as her
heroic stature fit her admirably for MAC
beth's" terrible queen.
The sleep-walking scene is the most
trying in the whole play. 1t is here that
the inmost soul of the woman is revealed; /;
here the actress must show her own esti-
mate of the character or fail; and here
Miss O'Neil throws tradition to the winds
and plays her own version of Macbeth
The reading of this scene used by Miss
O'Neil Is that of the earliest folios. Here
too she sets the stage directors at de-
fiance, when, with a heart-piercing shrek,
she awakens from her trance. Seeing this
for the first time is something of shock
to the careless reader of Macbeth" but
it sheds new light on the lines.
Miss O'Nei has been quoted as saying
that she does not consider Lady Macbeth
subject for pity. yet last night she made
the audience pity and forgive when she
sobbed over the imagined bloodstains on
her hands.
For the actress it was but the repetition
of an old triumph. but to the majority of
the thousands who will see her this week
at the Orpheum--a majority that shun
tragedy as they would avoid the plague
this scene from Macbeth" will be a reve-
lation of both the actress and the char
acter.

1t has been the policy of this house
during its twenty years in the piano
business to be frank and candid with
the public, anI in telling you of the
great reductions offered at this SAC
RIFICE SALE of pianos we can con-
scientiously say:
If you have any earthly use for a
Piano or Player Piano, or intend to buy
one inside of the next year-yes, even
two years-it will pay you largely to
come here and see what we are offer
ing-loo.S the bargains over anyway.
The harangue of bargains" is so
often a mockery that we refrain from
the use of the word except when we
can do it full justice. At the present
time we have on hand and coming over
one hundred and fifty pianos-Mehlin
& Sons, Lindermans, Chickering Bros,
Krells, Steger & Sons, Regents, Fitz-
geralds and other reliable makes we
handle. We contracted heavily for
shipments to reach h,re during this
month and they are coming along live
ly-too lively under present unsettled
conditions and our inability to secure
sufficient insurance protection, which
was positively refused on account of
hazardous surroundings hence this UNI
usual offering of the best pianos this
country has ever produced at prices
hardly representing actual cost-the
savings run from $50 to $200-more
in some cases-acording to the in
strument selected. The way they were
taken yesterday-the first day of the
great SACRIFICE SALE-we predict
a few days will close out all we care
to sell at advertised prices, so do not
wait-come as soon as possible for
choice of bargains. The Red Tags
speak for themselves-one price to all
alike-a child can buy here as cheaply
as the shrewdest bargainer in the ciAy.

conditional ironclad guarantee-your

"THe MAYOR or TOkIO."
Richard CarIe'S Famous Musical
Comedy at the Grand Theater.

With both scenes laid in the ancient
city OF Toxic, Japan, Russian spy and
the remnants of an American comic
opera company, there is plenty of local
color and many amusing situations in
the new Richard Carle farcical opera
"The Mayor of Tokio," that will be the
attraction at the Grand theater October
18. The music, which is by w. F. Peters,
is said to be unusually tuneful, with more
catchy numbers than often fall to the lot
OF present day comic opera. Among the
numbers that have achieved the most
popularity are: "Pity My Pitiful Plight"
"When the Ocean Breezes Blow" "The
Silver Sea Of Love-" "Foolishness,
"Tokio," and ~ Like YOU"
This merry bit of tuneful nonsense will

Tor county, II you wilD turned out
to the Merchants Exposition, that
opened at Hoquiam Thursday night.
and the attendance was amply re-
paid by the many exhibitions of the
progress of this region of country.
The exposition was opened with
an address by Tom Richards, of the
Portland Commercial club, in a
happy, as we'll as instructive vein.
The decorations of the Auditorium
are fine, and the exhibits in the ma
ture of surprise to those who have
failed to notice the great strides in
development made on Grays Harbor.
Space Is too limited to enter upon
a general description of the exhibi-

pressing the general feeling than to
quote the following from the Wash
ingtonian, in describing Saturday
night:
"The spirit of the entire Grays
Harbor country expressed itself last
night at the Merchants exposition
and when the event is to be described
the words that jump into the front
rank are energy, enterprise and the
resistless optimism of a people who
have found themselves possessed of a
determination to reap the heritage
that is theirs.
"The Hoquiam spirit was there and
the Aberdeen spirit and the spirit of
a people who are developing one of
the best countries in all the world.
Last night was the crucial night
and the success of the affair was more
than assured. The exhibits were
showrs in their best light and fused
with it all was the gentle good ma

in the afternoon, and the shingle
weaving contest in the evening, the
features were distributed so as to
provide relish with music in be-

J. Hill.

SEATTLE, Oct. 12.-Eastern as
we'll as Western Washington is be-
ginning to feel the disastrous eff
feet of the advance announced by
the railroads on Eastbound lumber
and shingle rates. The headquarters
of the lumbermen in this city are in
receipt of copy of letter mailed to
Pres. James G. Hill of the Northern
Railroad, by w. r. Baker, of Col
vile, Wash. Mr.. Baker is engaged
in the general merchandise business.
According to Mr.. Baker, the an
nounced advance in rates has al
ready had a depressing effect, and
the merchants of the town are "look-
ing forward to strenuous times in
the near future" Here is Mr..
Bakers letter to Pres. Hill:
II note that your railroad is to
advance the rate on lumber from the
Pacific Coast to Eastern markets, on
Nov. 1. I wish to state in re-
spectful manner, that this rate will
mean the curtailment of the lumber
industry in this vicinity, and will
mean a great loss in a business way
to this prosperous little community.
Our mills at this place have month
ly payroll now of $1,000, and the
industry is the backbone of Stevens
county. If this industry is ruined it
will work a great hardship on the
business of this locality, and from
present indications the curtailment Of
operations has already begun at sew
eral of our biggest mills. Several
have ceased logging for the winter,
and are going to wait developments.
This state of affairs have depress-
ing effect on business, and the mer-
chants have begun to hedge in their
operations, looking forward to
stringent times in the near future.
trust that your road will not put
the ten cent raise into effect, and
that you will see that the running
of the lumber industry means loss
of business to your road from other
sources"

SEATTLE. Oct 1.-The ehingle mills
OF Washington are to close November

portation conditions improve tor the bet
ter. This was practically decided by the
expressions OF individual millmen yester.
day, representing SO. .OOO, 900 cut per day
out of 50.O0O,0OO. or 66 per cent, when
they said, with two exceptions, at mass
meeting in Elks hall, that they we're
either closed now, owing to traffic and
market difficulties, or would close about
November l. when the new transconti-
mental rates went into effect. A COM
mittee was named, to canvass the state
to ascertain the sentiment of the indi-
vidual shingle manufacturers not pres.
ent, towards the close-down. and to in.
form them OF the action taken by O, her
mills throughout the state.
The meeting at which this action was
taken followed meeting under the aus
pices OF the shingle mills bureau. At the
second meeting. d. M. Clough, of the
Clough' Hartley Mill Co., of Everett, pre-.
sided, and R. W. Douglas, of the bureau
acted as secretary. In the absence Of

out by Mr.. Douglas, in his address. that
buying of shingles had almost ceased in
the East, notwithstanding shortage OF
stocks in Eastern yards OF not less than
$500 cars. He attributed this, to con-
siderable extent, to the reports industri-
ously circulated through the East to the
effect that as soon as the railway com.
panies advanced rates they would adopt
a policy of furnishing plenty of cars to
enable shingle manufacturers to fulfill
normal requirements, and that the re-
sulting flood of shingles to the East

SOUTH NOT HOSTILE TO
RAILROADS SAYS
FINLEY
Southern Railway President
Cites Instances TO Prove
His Statement.

New York. Oct. 15.-That the
south is not hostile to railroads is
one Of the declarations appearing in
President w. w. FInley's statement
to the stockholders Of the Southern
Railway. 'In fact" President Fin
ley says, there Is growing feeling
among the shippers and travellers in
that part of the country in favor of
reasonable treatment of railroad en-
terprises."
The statement cites as an indica-
ton Of the rapid Industrial expansion
of the south that last year $50 new
plants of various sorts were installed
along the Southern's lines and the
capacity of many older plants en-
larged.
The attitude of President Finley
correctly portrays that of other
presidents of railways in the south.
There has been a feeling of late
months that the country south of the
old time Mason and Dixon line was
strongly opposed to permitting rail-
roads to make money but Finley
says this is not true.
