CREASE CLOSES Sc CHICAGO
THEATERs

Chicago, Feb. 17-Over 100 Of the
scent theaters of Chicago have closed
their doors because of the advance in
the price of films little matter of
100 percent-for the moving picture
machines. These nickle theaters have
spread about Chicago like lights in
in the city at dusk but it is commonly
reported that the film manufacturers
have effected combination strong
enough to double their prices at one
coup. The marvellous cinametograph,
mutoscope, bioscope, kinodrome, and
other devices have sprung into sudden
popularity and disrepute according to
the character of their moving pictures,
some Of which have been summarily
suppressed because the patrons of the
nickle theaters are largely children
Showmen made sudden fortunes from
the inventions, but there soon will be
several hundred of them In this city, !
as in all big cities, who will sadly sur
vey their gilded entrances, their iron
clad leases and their idle equipment
and sigh for the days and nights of
crowded houses. IL

THE LAST MAN SHAVED.

An Explanation by The Barber That
Did Not Quiet His Nerves.
There were FIVE Of us hunting and
fishing in the Queensland bush whom
one rainy day stranger appeared. He
said he was tramp barber, and as
none of US had been shaved for q fort
night we gave him half days work.
About four hours after he had left
us q band Of six men rode up, and the
leader inquired If we had seen a tall,
roughly dressed man pass that way.
We told him Of the barber, and he
looked from man to man and ex-
claimed:
+'Good gracious, but you are all fresh
" shavedg'
Eyes. we gave the barber job"
"And he shaved each one Of your
"He did and did 1t well.'
Boys. do you hear that?" shouted
the man as he turned to his compan-
ions.
What of it 2" asked one Of our party.
s'Why. he went insane yesterday and
cut mans throat In his barber's
chair over at Unadilla, and we're after
him to put him in an asylum"
They rode away at q gallop and next
morning returned to our camp with the
man, who had been captured after a
hard fight and was tied on his horse.
He seemed to remember us when he
was given q drink of water, and as he
handed the cup back he quietly OBJ
served:
II say. gentlemen, please excuse me.
I meant to finish of the last man who
got shaved, but got to thinking of
something else. and it slipped my
mind. Cape Times.

JURY DISAGREED
IN SMELL CASE
Old Millionaire Left His Son
Pittance and He Kicks
About Il

Clinton, Ills. Feb. 17-This after
noon after having been out forty-six
hours, the jury in the Smell will case
was discharged without agreeing on
a verdict. The jury stood eight for
breaking the will and four against,
which was the same as on the first
ballot. Each juror said he believed
it impossible to agree on a verdict.
The case cannot be heard again. before
the May term of court.
The suit to break the will of Col.
Thomas Smell was brought by the
aged millionaire's son Richard Smell.
president. Of a Clinton bank. It has
been rife with sensations, the chief Of
which were the Smell letters" writ
ten by a woman and young girl to
the old man, who was willing to pay
lavishly for being loved and for be-
ing told SO in affectionatly worded
epistles. Among the letters were
some from the wife Of clergyman,
who not only expressed her own love
but told Smell that her daughter, six
teen years old, would love him if he
would send her money. The letters
from the girl herself, bearing out the
promises of the mother were intro
duced at the trial of the suit to braak
the will.
When Col. Smell died in June. 1851.
he left an estate Of 100000, but to
his son Richard he left only an annu.
ity OF fifty dollars per year. To a
grandniece, Mabelle Smell Mcnamara
he left property valued at $25, 900 and
an annuity OF $1,000 per year. The
rest OF his property he left in trust,
the interest to be added each year
to the principal, until twenty years
after the death Of his youngest grand
child, then but five years Of age.
Richard Smell sought to break the
will on the ground that the old man
was insane.

Beacon Fires IN China.

In China such beacon fires as spread
the alarm Of the Spanish armada
through England used to be the call
to war. Many years ago. the story
goes. the emperor sat with beautiful
woman looking toward the beacon
hills. She would like to see those wait
ing piles lighted. and upon her insist
ence the thing was done. The greatest
excitement prevailed throughout the
provinces. and troops came hurrying
In from all sides. When the leaders
learned that no danger menaced, that
the fires were lighted to satisfy the
within Of q woman. their wrath fed on
their lost confidence, and with the ac-
tual call to arms the response was slow
and unenthusiastic. It was repetition
OF the old story in Webster's spelling
book. Wolf" had bsen cried too Often.

n Curious Custom at the Courts OF
East Indian Princes.

n Curious Custom at the Courts OF
East Indian Princes.
There is curious custom at the
courts Of the Indian princes. When a
British officer or physician calls
upon rajah he is shown into the re-
ception or throne room, where sits the
rajah, surrounded by the great state
officers. After the exchange of the
usual salutations one of the officers
brings in a tray on which are display
ed jewels and golden ornaments stud
ded with valuable stones, perhaps
worth 100000 or more. The trayful Of
valuables is supposed to be. a present
from the rajah to his visitor, and 1t is
offered first to the gentleman, who, in-
clining his head, touches the edge of
the tray with the tips of his fingers,
and it is then passed over to the lady.
who Invariably accompanies the Brit
ish officer, IL he is married, on such oc-
casions. She follows the example of
her husband, and the tray and its con-
tents are then returned to the jewel
room. In lieu Of the unaccepted Jewels
long necklace Of tinsel. Of little value.
is placed around the neck Of each,
where it remains during their stay
within the palace. There is a very
strict law against any British officer
accepting gift from q native prince.
Even when doctor may have per-
formed some serious operation upon q
rajah, who. being grateful, wishes to
give-exclusive Of money fee, vary
ing from f2OO to $1,000, according to
the operation performed present Of
a shawl, golden cup or some similar
valuable. the doctor must obtain spe-
cial permission from the viceroy before
he dare accept the present. II any
officer accepts gift Of any value with
out such permission he may have to
resign. This rule was made because In
the old days, when the East India com.
pany governed India, an officers pick
ihgs and the presents often extorted
from the rajahs were worth much
more to him than his salary.-London

An Important Election
essa 0e Seses Press


Fargo Call: Selecting congressional
delegation is one of the most impor-
tant if not the most important duty of
the voters of the state at the coming
primaries. North Dakota is a repub-
lican state and the persons chosen at
the republican primaries will undoubt-
eddy be the choice of the voters at the
fall election, while the republican
candidate for United States senator
chosen at the primaries will be elect
ed by the next legislature.
The Red River valley furnishes two
candidates for congress who will in
all probability receive the majority of
the republican votes-Messrs Gronna
and Hanna. Both are old timers and
residents of the state and have wide
acquaintance. Mr.. Gronna has served
in congress, where he has made an
efficient, energetic and valuable mem
Der. His familiarity with the needs
of the state and his knowledge of con-
gressional duties make him a valuable
member, for whom the people of the
state may vote with the assurance that
their interests will be increasingly and
we'll cared for. Mr.. Hanna has been
a resident of North Dakota for many
years, has built up a successful bust
ness, has been successful in all of his
undertakings, has creditably repre-
sentsd the county in the senate, has
served as chairman of the republican
state committee and is man against
whose probity and integrity no whis-
per has even been heard. In congress
he will take his place with the sound,
conservative and able members of that
body and the people Of the state will
receive the benefit of the efforts that
have enabled him to achieve person
al success and to make warm and
admiring friendships
The Missouri Slope has a republican
candidate for the United States SEN
ate in the person of c. B. Little, who
has been a resident of North Dakota
for more than a quarter Of a century
and who is familiar with the needs of
the state and has the energy, acti-
witty and ability to represent the state
valuably in the senate. Mr.. Little
has been member of the state
senate since statehood. He has been
successful in business affairs, through
energy and hard work. He is man
who would fairly and creditably re-
present all parts of the state. His
personal friends are many. His word
given is as good as bond. All
through the state he has a large
following and in the big western
counties he will roll up large ma
jority. An untiring worker for repub-
licanisnl, he stands upon the repub-
lican platform as declared in the
state and nation. He is not a trim
mer, not a hypocrit, but an I'M
swerving republican always, and
loyal citizen of North Dakota who is
deserving of it's highest honors.
Politically, geographically and per-
sonally North Dakota could send no
more representative or capable trio
of members to Washington than
Messrs. Little, Gronna and Hanna
They have the energy, the popularity,
the fairness and the necessary person
al qualifications to do things for the
state.

CURRENCY
TObE ISSUE.
Republican Members Of Con.
gfess Trying to Agree
on Measure
All feel This Will Be Key.
note Of Presidential
Campaign

Washington, D. c., Fef. 1.-THE
republican members of the committee
on banking and currency today enter.
ed upon series of conferences by
which it is hoped to reach an agree.
ment regarding recommendation to
the house on the currency bill at this
session. The feeling exists among the
members that the conutry's financial
system, embracing fluctuations of ma
tional prosperity, is the issue on which
the coming presidential campaign will
be fought, and that the sort of cur
rency bill to be passed at the present
session of congress will determine in
a great measure the shape Of the fl.
nancial plank to be inserted in the
republican platform at Chicago.
Republican leaders of the committee
re, therefore, very anxious to go be
fore the house with an unbrcken front
in reporting favorably the currency
bill. Thus far some rather wide diff.
ferences of opinion have characteriz-
ed the attitude of the majority of the
members. It is in the hope of closing
these breaches that the conference
series was inaugurated today.
It is the general understanding that
=. ~
mittee will submit a minority report
recommending the passage of the min
ority currency bill introduced recent
ly by Representative ohm Sharp Will
liams, no matter whether republicans
finally agree to recommend the Fow.
Ter bill or some other measure.
