SURPRISED Al BILLINGS
Says Have Better opera rouse and

ST. Louis Audiences for Attending.
From Sundays Daily.

Ef
who with his Ministries appeared at
the Babcock theater last night, was
delighted with the great change that
has taken place in Billings since his
appearance here about four years ago.
Together with several members Of
his company the famous comedian
walked about the city. MI. Dockstaal
erlSexpressed himself as being greatly
surprised at the number Of fine build
lngs and especially with the opera
house which he said was easily the
most modern that they had played4i in
In the west. He characterized the
| stores as showing on better, both in
side and out, than any he had seen
for weeks. He predicted that Bill
ings would undoubtedly the next
time that he appeared here have six
and seven-story buildings together
with other things possessed by a large
eastern city.
Are Completing Season.
Mr.. Dockstader with his troupe Of
burnt cork artists and fun makers
have nearly completed a tour Of 40
weeks during which they have played
to all 81 the largest cities in the east,
In Canada, through the southern,
western, northern and central states.
From Billings they go to Duluth,
MINI, where they will play the last.
performance ,of the season tomorrow
night.
During the last two weeks the min
strel company has been holding the
preliminary %rehearsals for their next
seasons run. Besides his present
company Mr.. Dockstader said that he
will have several new comedians
added to his payroll.
Had Successful Season.
Speaking OF the trip that he has
taken during the last eight months,
MI. Dockstader said: w have had q
very successful season, have had the
finest Of weather during the whole
time, and have had an opportunity Of
seeing q large portion Of the United
States. While the panic was felt
pretty hard in some places, there was
comparatively little difference made
In the amount Of our gate receipts.
" few places in the east and in the
farthegt south seemed to be the most
effected, judging by the size Of our
audiences"
Man Got Porterhouse.
It was while the company was show
ing in st. Louis that the so-ca1led
panic occurred. Knowing well that
something out Of the ordinary had to-
be done in order to secure an au.
dience large enough to pay expenses,
Mr.. Dockstader inaugnrated 10 novel
scheme Of show advertising. Large
spaces were secured in all Of the prin-
cipal newspapers and advertisements
stating that porterhouse steaks would
be given to those purchasing parquet
sets, mutton chops to those In the
dress circle, two boiled Holsters to
purchasers Of box seats and dill pick
els to those in the gallery. He says.
the scheme worked to perfection and
although they were compelled to put
mp the cost Of one porterhonse for one
man, they. succeeded in starting the
whole city to talking OF how a show
could possibly undertake such an i'm
possible feat. @ @ :

1t is announced from Arlington that
Hon. j. X. Batchelder OF that town
will be a candidate in the county con-
vention Thursday for the north shire
senatorship against E. c. Orvis, of
Manchester, who has, up to this time,
had the field to himself 1t is urged
in behalf OF Mr. Batchelder that Ar
lington has not had a senator in four
teen years while Manchester had the
office six years ago. Then, too, Mr.
Batchelder is one of the leading cti-
zens of the state, but has never been
to the senate, and, being older than
Mr.. Oryis, ii is claimed that he should
have the first call The situation is
further complicated for Mr.. Orvis in
that he has not solid delegation from
his own town, two of the eight, # is
claimed, being supporters of Mr..
Batchelder The friends of Mr..
.Oryis are up in arms over the matter.
Mr.. Orvis says that he asked Mr..
Batchelder personally last spring II
he was going to be a candidate and
that Mr. Batchelder assured him that
he positively would not be a candidate
this year and promised Mr.. Orvis his
support. This row over the north
shire senatorship promises TO be the
chief feature of Thursdays conven-
ton. There is no candidate against
Dr. Potter in this shire. c. b. Kent
of Dorset seems TO be in the lead for
assistant judge from the north shire
and Il he is nominated and DR.. Potter
is named for senator It is probable
that Hon. Norman Madison of Glast
enbury may be again nominated foI
assistant judge from this end. Judge
MattisOn retired two years ago but
the lawyers and court officials desire
one experienced man and putting hin
back would obyiate the difficulty
from having two new men at th'
