The world famous Byrnes Brothers and their company of comedians and pantominists will present their enor- mously successful spectacular produc- tion New Eight Bells at the New Haven theater tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and at the matinee Wednesday,.
 In the first act they appear in a school scene as students and guy the old echoolmastef (Beeswax) and near ly break his head, perform all manner of pranks, form a pyramid and tumble into different stories of a house, vault over walls and fences, and like "Will O the Wisps," appear and vanish. For the ending of this act they bring on a raw boned horse that requires no hay dances a jig and faints squarely on top of FOOT Dan McGozzle who has been chasing three mschievous stu dents through doors and windows. over the top and underneath trick coach which suddenly explodes with a biff- bang, throws the different parts of the carriage to the four winds, breaks the old horse squarely in two and throws the students in every sort of comlcal positions, making one of the most Imaginable sights ever presented. The second act shows a railway station and the dock of the steamer which Is to take he merry party to France In this scene several pleasing vaudeville specialties are given, leading up to the celebrating revolving ship scene. A. large full rigged steamship is suddenly seen looming up out of the mist with signal lights burning, etc, the calm swell of the sea gently swaylng her From side to side, making a very spec- tacular picture Suddenly another change takes place and instead of the ship sailing tranquilly on the ocean one beholds four adjoining staterooms of an Atlantic liner each room occu- pied by members of the Merry con- pany It is here the greatest work of the evening is done, and fun and laughter reins galore.

"GIRL BEHIND THE COUNTER"
 The coming to this city at the Fly perion Thursday, Friday and Satur- day with Saturday matinee, September 26, 27 and 2S, of Lew Fields and his exceptional company, presenting the musical comedy "The Girl Behind the Counter" will be an event of rare in- terest to local playgoers, and no doubt the attendance at the Hyperion will be very large. Mir. Fields reputation as an actor manager is such that the mere announcement of his coming Is eagerly awaited as the prodigality of his productions is well known. This season, as last, he is associated with the Messrs Shubert and this is the most pretentious of their efforts. There are one hundred persons in the organization, which includes four score singing and dancing girls, and a score of principals of established rep utation. Among them may be men toned Miss Connie Ediss, who came to this country from the London Gaiety theater especially as MT. Fields lead ing comedienne; Louise Dresser, Lotta Faust May Naudain, Topsy siegrist, George Beban, Ignacio Martlnetti, Joseph Ratliff, Penman Maley Vernon Castle, and the original English pony ballet

Dubois Last Act

Whatever sins of omission and commits
sion may be chargeable against United
States Senator Fred 7. Dubois, the fact
remains that he is mailing grand stand
finish. His last act, the attaching Of an
amendment to the Indian appropriation
bill carrying $3.50, 900 for Fort Hall lrri-
cation, certainly endears him to his con-
stituency. That single accomplishment
permits HIM to retire with a good rec
ord.
1t is matter of moment that the sen
ate paid high compliment to Senator
Dubios, in accepting his Fort Hall
amendment. With the exception of
this 10000 item, all amendments of a
salary nature were stricken from the
bill on points of order, and it is deemed
decided compliment to Senator Dubois
that his amendment was allowed to
stand.-Pocatello Tribune.

Polmatisr Sisters

Wednesday evening Blackfooters were
treated to a musical feast such as it is
seldom their privilege to enjoy at home.
The Polmatier sisters are, without
doubt, one of the finest musical organ
izations on the road and only appear in
the smaller places under the auspices Of
some one Of the local lodge organiza-
tions, in this instance the Athenian
Lodge, X. p, which is to be congratu-
lated and thanked for its effort. There
is nothing to be said of the individual
members Of the company. The boquets
must be thrown at them as a whole.
Every minute, from first to last, was one
of keen delight and we can only add
that we hope to have the pleasure Of
hearing them again next season.

For Better Sheep

A. Whitten received shipment of 81
blooded ewes last Monday which he took
to his ranch near Wapello for breeding
purposes. He bought them Of Frank
Harden, Secretary Of the Cotswold
Breeders Association, of Wakeshaw,
Wisconsin.
The intrinsic value of this shipment
is considerable, but still that is small
item in comparison with the value of
product of this flock as it will appear in
subsequent seasons. Every man who
brings in fine stock to raise the standard
of excellence here shows good Judge
ment and besides doing a good thing
for himself is public benefactor.
Mr.. Whitten never has had room for
scrub stock of any kind, and we hope to
get some observations from him for pub.

Killed at the Asylum

IAN account of this was ready for pub
lication last week, but by an oversight
in the press room it was left ont.
Thursday morning, Feb. IA, at hive
o'clock. JAS FL. Dobson, the cook at the
Asylum was struck and killed with {
short handled shovel in the hands o1
Win Byers, a patient who had been con
sldered safe to act as helper about the
kitchen. An inquest was held over the
remains by Coroner j. II. Morely Thurs
day afternoon, copy of which is given
below.
1t tseems that Mr. Dobson was busy at
the range and Byers had been shovellng
in coal when he struck Dobson blow at
the base of the brain that killed him.
but after he fell several blows were ad-
ministered that crushed the forehead.
When the assistant Matron Mrs. Lii
lian M. Cope came in few minutes
later Byers was standing near the body
and stated that he had killed Mr.. Dob
son. She told him to retire to the cor
ner of the room and stand there which
he did. She then stepped to the tele-
phone and summoned help, retaining
command of the irrational man until
others reached the kitchen.
The coroner's jury found that he came
to his death by blow or blows admins
tered with heavy coal shovel by one
VIM. Byers, an inmate of said instltu-
tion, and an irresponsible person, and
that neither the superintendent nor any
of the attendants were in the least to
be blamed on account of his death.
The funeral was conducted on Friday
afternoon from The Brown q Eldredge
Undertaking Parlors.
Deceased was a widower and had
made his will to Lillian M. Cope, the as
sstant matron while employed at Las
Vegas, New Mexico. Mrs. Cope has ap-
piled for the issuance Of letters testa-
mentary to DR.. G. A. Hoover, notice of
which will be seen among the legal not
ices in this issue.
The tragedy was great shock to the
community and especially to employees
at the Asylum who find themselves
greatly depressed and unable to main
tain their usual strong morale except by
the exercise of unusual effort, the weak
ness being within, and perceptlble to
each one who bears responsibility. The
sympathy Of the community goes out to
those whose lives are spent in a compar,
ative state Of peril, caring for those un
fortunates whose energies may be mis-
directed at any moment.

Murder and Suicide

"Roy Merrill has killed Mrs. Leslie
and himself" That was the unwelcome
news Sunday morning. 1t happened at
the ranch of j. w. Keeney about 10 pm
Saturday evening, and Is sad blow to
Mr. Keeney and other members of the
family.
Mrs. Maude K. Leslie, the daughter of
j. W. Keeney, was widow 32 years old
and made her home at the keeney
Ranch since the death of her husband
who was employed by the Missouri Pa
cifc Railroad.
Roy Merrill has been Mr.. Keeney's
foreman for some years and loved Mrs.
Leslie, but she did not respond to his
attentions and assured him again and
again that she could never marry him.
He had brooded over the matter for a
long time and there is reason to believe
that he learned recently of her attach
ment for another man.
Saturday night as she was putting
coal in the heating stove at bed time, he
entered the room and fred three shots.
The first shot missed her but the blaze
from the gun scorched her hair. She
dropped the coal scuttle and fed a step
or two when the second shot pierced her
heart. He then turned and put shot
into his own bosom and fell dying.
Others of the household entered the
room Immediately but every sign of life
was gone in few moments. Both OF
the bodies we're left where they fell un-
til after the coroners inquest which
was held Sunday, when the following
verdict was rendered.
"We, the jury authorized and impan-
eled to inquire into the cause OF the
death of Maud X Leslie find that said
Maud X. Leslie came to her death as the
result Of gunshot wound in the right
breast caused by the lnfiction of a bull
let from revolver when in the hand Of
Leroy Merrill" John G. Brown, fore
man; G. Holbrook, w. F. Martin, Louis
Felt, W. o. Young, H. B. Nielsen, F. M.
Randall, F. E. DeKay.
The funeral Of Mr.. Merrill was con-
Quoted Monday morning, his two broth
ers from Twin Bridges being the only
relatives who could come.
The funeral of Mrs. Leslie was con-
dncted on Monday afternoon, and was
attended by large concourse Of friends.
She leaves son four and half years old
besides her father, and her sister, Mrs.
d. K. Donnell.

THE BANNOCKS
AND SHOSHONES
BY Amelia J. Frost, Missionary at Black
foot, Idaho.

The Shoshonean family at one time
occupied large part Of the interior ba-
sin of the United States.
The narrative of Lewis and Clarke
contains the statement that "the Sho-
shoni bands encountered upon the jeff

upon the headwaters of the Columbia,
formerly lived, within their own recol-
lections, on the plains east of the Rocky
Mountains, whence they we're driven to
their mountain retreats by the Mimsa-
taree (Atsina) who had obtained fire.

The Shoshonean family, as given in
