PLAY BY DANISH AMATEURS
Performance of Exceptional Merit for
BENEFIT Of Danish Sister
hood.

How Tordenskjold, the great Danish ad-
mirsl. bedevilled the Swedish garrison in
the island Of Hisingen was unfolded to an
audience Of the seadog's fellow-countrymen
at Washington hall last evening. A Danish
drama, by Danish actors, was played before
a Danish audience, and the tribulations of
the Svensks were Hailed with glee. Incl
dentally a company of amateurs showed
careful rehearsal and some considerable
knowledge of the art of acting besides
defamation, at which point the amateur
generally stops.
1t appears that Admiral T., played by ].
Enkebolle, arrived off the island. strongly
garrlsoned by the Swedes. with one ship
and a mere 300 men. Strategy then's the
word. Disgusting himself as a fisher
man, TordenskJold make his way into the
fort and starts to ensnare the -commandant,
Dankwarth. Dankwarth last night was
Aage Jorgensen, as good an actor as trod
the boards during the performance. which
was for the benefit of Haabet lodge of the
Danish Sisterhood. Meantime a vice adj
miral or lieutenant or something. has de-
barked the noble 800. The Dane invites
the unwilling commandsnt to take a little
walk, and leads him to that corner of the
island whence his men are.
Now comes the strategy. Mr.. Dankwarth
Is suddenly Informed by T~ordenskjold that
the speaker is the great Dane. He assures
him that personally nothing is to happen
to him, but that the island is surely doomed.
The Swedish leader Is skeptical. There is
a big garrison, IN able vice commandant
and, even minus his unworthy self, the
place is simply impregnable, he says. In
answer. Tordenskjold springs his little coup.
The three hundred are marched past the
Swede. They disappear In the horizon and
others take their place. Trampl Tramp!
Tramp On they come. VIII there be no
End? Seemingly not. Meantime the audi
ence catches onto the ruse. The three hun
bred are swinging round in a circle and
fooling the rather easily deceived swede.
He admits that he would not nave a
look-in 'gainst this powerful host and ca
%pitulates. 'Rah for Denmark!
This is the main story of the drama,
which is said to be based on an historical
incident. The time of action is the seven
tenth century. There is not much for the
women players in the drama, which is by
CART Etlar, a Danish playwright Of great
note.
Before the play proper began, the pro-
logue was spoken informing the auditors
what they might expect-if they under
stood Danish. This foreword was acclaimed
by Mrs. Lawrence Skow, who read he
lines with vigor and the proper emphasis
Of important points.
A dance followed the last curtain. The
''nersonerne" WAS as folloUa.

SAMSON MAY HAVE BALANCE
Ak-Sar-Ben Funds Are Larger De-
spite the Increased Expense.
BOOKS ARE NOT YET BALANCED
People who Paid to Get Into the Den
at Cinderella Ball Saturday Are
Receiving Their Money
Back.

Samson may have a neat balance on the
right side of the ledger when the books
are approved this year.
While it will take several days to as.
semble all the bills. It is probable that the
balance will be considerable. When SAM
son looked at his bank account Monday
morning he saw he had to his credit over
$4,000. His income for the year has now
stopped and II is a Question OF how many
and how big bills the board Of Ak-Sar-Ben
governors has incurred for the high
chamberlain to settle.
One extra hall has has to be paid for
this year and the expense of the Cinder-
ella ball is considerable. The daylight
parade this year was quite expensive be-
cause of the soldiery and the bands, but
the governors think the more splendid
parade ~justifies the. extra expense. Three
bands were KEEP on the carnival grounds
this year, whereas one was made to suffice
in previous years.
Samson started the fall festival this year
with no money in the treasury, the money
left over from last year having been used
to pay off the mortgage on the den. More
money was taken in this year than last,
as more people passed through the turn
stiles at the Kings Highway and the shows
did a larger business, but the expense for
free attractions was also larger. Every
thing was run on a larger scale than last
year.
Many Unable to See Ball.
Many people who were unable to get into
the Cinderella ball were around Monday
to have their money refunded. The crush
at the ball was unprecedented In the annals
Of such affairs in Omaha. The board Of
governors, the ushers and the police were
absolutely powerless to handle the throng.
AS soon as the doors were opened the
crowd rushed in and took any seats avail
able and the police could not keep them
back. The reserved seats were occupied
by those holding cheaper tickets, and long
before the time for the ball to start :. NJ.
Cudahy, chairman of the pail committee
for the hoard of governors. gave orders
that not another person could be admitted
to the hall. Many appeared holding re-
served seat tickets which had been bought
down town, but there was noth!DS to do
but refund the money. The bEldIng would
not hold another soul and yet give room
for the big spectacle.
Many requests have been made for the
reproduction of the Cinderella ball. The
governors say they will not do 1t, but that
, 1t may be done on the outside.
Treasurer Penfold says It will be several
days before the bills are all in and the
governors can tell how the finances of Ak
Sar-Ben stand.

evening between 5 and $3.50 o'clock burglarls

suggested that a stipulation OF facts be

Rush Makes His Statement.

The statement Of the government was
presented by Assistant Attorney General S.
r. Rush. This was in effect that the
parties named in the indictment had en-
tered into a conspiracy to defraud and to
suborn perjury in furtherance OF the con-
spiracy. The amounts OF land thus taken
up under this alleged fraudulent agreement
was approximately 10000 acres. and was to
revert TO other parties, notably the Hay
ward Cattle company and others. He fur
Their held that the government would show
by a number OF witnesses. some Of them
members of the Chicago Ranch company,
tina they never Intended to live on the
land and that they were told by Baird
that they would not have to live on the
land, but II would only be necessary for
them to visit II once in six bonths. The
improvements on the different holdings
consisted Of small houses costing between
S25 and $40.
The first witness called for the afternoon
was w. w. Wood, register OF the Alliance
land office. 1t was expected TO prove by
him from the land office records that the
entries charged IN the indictments had
been made. Before MT. Wood was ques-
toned at all, Mr.. rBome stated that he
would admit that all the entries charged
in the indictments had been made and
that It would save considerable time were
these records not read in detail, as has
been done in previous and trials. Mr..

With 20 meE now at work and with
Is more to be started by the end of
the week the securing mill is now
getting under way for the seasons
run, which promises to be as heavy
as any in the past.
For several days past the securing
mill has been running with a partial
force and today F. E. Judd, manager
of the plant, announced that the night
force will be started either Friday or
Saturday. From that time on the
wheels will not stop until the seasons
clip has been secured.
Though the securing mill was late
in starting this year because of the
slowness with which wool was sold,
that fact will not affect matters fur
ther. According to Mr.. Judd the mill
will make its usual run, from all in
dications, and will not close down un-
till well along in the winter. At pres
ent there Is sufficient wool on hand
to keep tildInill going and as the wool
is now selling freely, though at low
prices, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the mill will make its usual
run.
In local business circles the open
ing of the securing mill means much
for the mill has a pay roll of nearly
$1,000 per week and this money all
goes to workmen who live in the city
and spend their money here.

PANAMA CASE

TROUBLE INEVITABLE WITH
$4,000 MEN EMPLOYED
soldiers of Fortune stir Up Dlscon-
tent Among Foreign Laborcrs-Rev-
olution Is Threatened and Election
Trouble Is Certain To Occur-Busi-
hess men Appeal TO Americans TO
Assume Control

Washington, June 5.-The serious
ness of the political situation in Pan
anna is greatly increased today, ac-
cordlng to reports here which say
trouble among the $4,000 men em-
ployed on the canal seems inevitable.
Soldiers of fortune who have been
collecting on the isthmus for the last
six months have aroused dssention
among the men and there is serious
difficulty over the payrolls.
Most of the men working on the
isthmus for the last six months have
aroused dissention among the men
and there is serious difficulty over
the payrolls.
Most of the men working on the ca
nal are foreigners and adventures,
and found little difficulty in instigat-
ing trouble among the ignorant.
The outbreak feared, combined
with threatened revolution and
practical certainty of trouble over the
election, has aroused the officials to
take careful consideration of the sit
uation. Appeals from business men
for the Americans to assume control
until peace is restored, continue to
reach Washington.

WALLA WALLA DRUMMER
COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Walla Walla, June 5.-Just before
arriving at his home in this city last
evening. on the Northern Pacific train
from Pasco, Louis Schmidt, travel
ing salesman for brewery supplies,
committed suicide by shooting himself
in the head while preparing to leave
his berth in the Pullman car.
Schmidt was despondent over tho
fact that he could not provide well for
his family. and wrote eight letters 70
friends declaring his intention of COM
mitting suicide. He was formerly
proprietor of a saloon in this city but
was forced to close up few months
ago and has since been selling brew
cry supplies, and failing to make a
living in this business, took his life.

Enthusiastic over the manner in
which the publicity bureau idea was
received by the people in the towns
along the line between here and Free
water the publicity committee return
ed last evening from their auto trip
to Milton.
"At all the towns along the line we
found the people interested and SEEM
ingly willing to aid in financing the
publicity movement" said T. C. Tay-
lor, chairmai of the committee. In
nearly every place they have agreed
to take the matter up and in several
places special meetings will be held
to raise money for the fund. We feel
very gratified over the result of our
trip and believe that some good is go.
ing to come from it."
On the auto trip yesterday the PEN
dleton party stopped at Adams, Athe-
ma and Weston while en- route and at
Milton and Freewater they had an op-
portunity to greet many at the straw
berry day celebration.
Owing to the brief time which the
party had for the different places II
was impossible for the committee to
make anything like a canvass. How
ever, the seed was sown and there is
every reason to believe that the peo-
pie north and east of Pendleton will
help in establishing the bureau.
On the trip yesterday the Pendle-
tonians strove to show the people
with whom they met the idea of a
publicity bureau was not selfish
one with Pendleton but that on the
contrary it means more to the re-
mainder of the county than to this
city direct. 1t was shown that the
country in the immediate vicinity of
Pendleton offers less inducements for
settlers than does the east and west
ends of the county.
Photographer McMonBele of the
Sunset company, who accompanied
the party to Milton, remained there
yesterday and is now engaged in TAX
ing views in that section. He will
take many other pictures on his way
back to the city.
The fact that the photographer was
with the party yesterday greatly aided
in the work for it showed that the
committee was already at work in
the campaign of advertising the coun-
ty.
According to Chairman T. c. Tay-
lor the publicity bureau committee
will meet again shortly and will take
up the work of raising additional
fur ds for the bureau.

Lawyers Come Next-Matlock

That it is easier to get money nov
for baseball than 1t was before elec,
| ton is declared by the baseball COM
mittee which has been out soliciting
funds for the league team today. AL
ready a considerable share of the
has been secured and the committee
believes that the full amount will be
forthcoming.
Manager E. X. Lorimer, Charles
Bond, James Estes, Dean Tatom and
L. G. Frazier constitute the commit
tee which has been making the
rounds today and they have appealed
to all good citizens to aid the team. In
nearly every instance their request
for a contribution has been granted
freely and as a result the committee
is filled with hope.
Thus far most of the solicitation
has been among business men. but
before quitting their tack the COM
mitteemen will make the rounds of
the lawyers, doctors and other pro-
fessional men of the city.
In support OF the movement for
the bali team It is claimed that 1t is
up to Pendleton to continue its repu-
tation as live town and that it
would be shameful to allow the team
to disband after the excellent playing
it has done thus far.

The idea that an occupation tax or
any other special revenue raiser Is alb
solutely necessary for the city is not
shared by all the people Of the city
nor even by all the members OF the
council.
Since the subject was broached at
the council meeting Wednesday, 1t has
been a frequent subject of comment
about the city and diversity Of SEN
timent has been unearthed.
BY some 1t is declared that when
the council opened up the subject 1t
did so largely as 'stall' to explain
the reason why some members signed
the eSanti-prohibitlon circular sent out
shortly before election time.
At the council meeting the other
night Councilman Montgomery did
not Join with his aldermanic BROTH
ers in calling for an occupation tax,
and he is still unable to see the need
OF such a course.
I'VE have more money I'm the city
treasury than We have ever had be-

Gilman, and / see no reason why an
occupation tax is needed, We cam

Should the city council go even be-
yQnd the $4,000 limit OF warrant in

time 1t has done so. Last year, while
the levee work was on 1t was neces-
sary to go far beyond that amount and
the council did so, the local banks

life in the sales. The Idaho clip is
excellent this year, owing to the mild
winter and favorable spring and the
quality of the wool is perhaps better
than for five or six years. The sheep
sheared heavier this year, also, and
but for the depressed wool market in
the east growers would have receiv-
ed top prices for their 1908 output.
This was the first Idaho sale and
may be taken as an illustration OF
prices that are to prevail at succeed
ing sales. But little wool will be held
over, according to Idaho papers
growers being willing 90 accept the
low prices rather than take chances
on futures.

|DAHO WOOL SELLS At LOW PRICE

The first OF the series Of wool sales
to be held in Idaho this year were
held at Mountainhome Wednesday,
when large amount of wool was Of
fered and sold at prices ranging from
nine to 13 cents per pound.
Practically all of the wool offered
for sale was sold at the prices Of
fered, although before the sale grow
ers had declared that they would
hold their clips II prices were not
higher than those quoted.
Last year the same wool sold at
prices ranging from II to 81 cents
and bidding was spirited. This year
there were but few bids and but little
