AL sNYDER's ENTERTAINERS.
They Will Present Four High-Class
Plays in Dawson.

IneY VIII Present tOuf 1lSn-OIaSS
Plays in Dawson.
In announcing the engagement at
the opera house on January End,
3rd and 4th of AL Snyder's Imperial
Dramatic Co. the manager is able to
say that he has secured what is I'M
doubtedly the strongest and best
repertoire company in the south to-
day. This is the universal comment
of all the papers in the towns where
they have played. Of Sherlock
Holiness one of their plays, the Val
dosta Times says:
can audience that comfortably
filled the ValdOsta theater greeted
AL Snyder's Imperial Entertainers in
their opening bill-Sherlock Holmes,
Conan Doyle's great detective. To
say that they were treated to a
pleasant surprise is but stating a
plain fact simply. AS a repertoire
company playing at popular prices
they are easily the peers of many
higher paid attractions that visit our
city. The play was carefully staged,
correctly costumed and we'll acted.
When such companies as this visit
the south and produce such plays
with such a competent company as
these players do they deserve crowd
ed houses. Sherlock Holmes is SEN
sational play, Astounding in startling
climaxes and strong comedy. me
audience was kept interested till the
EN- 20 +bo o,,r+ain and rewarded the
efforts of the players with repeated
curtain calls.
Although this company has such
a reputation and are so clever and
capable they play at popular prices,
So, So and 25 cents-with a special
matinee Saturday at 25 cents. They
will produce here four plays, all new
to our theater-goers, and we predict
treat for all who attend these per-
formances.

People Travelled Fifty Miles to Lay
in Supply of Booze Before
the Great Thist Came.


Sheriff w. B. Cadenhead OF Quit
man county, who has been in DaW-
son on a visit, says the whiskey sales
in Georgetown during Christmas
were something astonishing.
Georgetown, which is the county
seat of Quitman and small village
of three or four hundred inhabitants,
was one of the three or four places
in this section in which the sale OF
whiskey had not been prohibited, and
people fiocked there for miles around
to lay in a supply before the great
thirst came. Several thousand dol
lars worth of booze were sold dur
ing the holidays by the three saloons
in the village, and in a single day
the sales of one of them amounted
to $4,000.
1t was an interesting sight, ac-
cording to the Quitman sheriff, to
see the folk, many of them coming
as far as fifty miles away, hauling Off
great quantities of whiskey, some OF
them using two-horse wagons.

COUNT DE cAsTELLANE SECURES
EVIDENCE WHICH FiERcELY

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-"Princess
De Sagan must either give up her Chi.
dren OF her title. She is woman
enough to know there is only one al
tentative. She must quit the prince"
With these words lawyer OF inter
national repute. who has had the con-
hdencc OF the Gould family for many
years. disposed OF the question whether
the bride OF Prince Hene would soon
seek q divorce
Evidence had been placed before the
civil tribunal OF Paris. the attorney
said, which could not help but per-
suade the court 10 take the children
u the princess away from her and
place them In the charge OF their
grandmother. the Warehouses De
castellane.
This testimony had been procured
py Count Boni De Castellane against
his cousin and sworn enemy, Prince
Helie.
II have not seen the charges against
the prince said the informant, but
know that they hercely assail hts
character He IL charged with being
a man whose influence as stepfather
would only tend to demoralize the
Castellane children.
And not only do these charges IN
volve the past life Of the prince. They
also concern his present mode of life,
alleging that despite his recent dram
attic courtship. his impassioned VOWS
of eternal devotion. Prince Helie is
still Prince Helie. As In the Cid days
he seeks the companionship OF men
and women outside the pale. And
never before. 1t is said, were his en-
tertaiEments of these fellow lovers OF
pleasure as extravagant or fantastic.
''It must be bitter draught for this
newly made bride to learn that one
OF the chief uses Of her money at the
present time, according to the charges
OF her former husband, is to provide
suppers and other luxuries for the
'othor women OF the princes old life.
But IL Is not this alone which
understand Is about to force her again
to seek liberty from matrimony.
Though the suit OF her former husband
to regain his children is still before
the civil tribunal, yet she has been
informed that unless she abandons
the prince the court will decide that
she must be bereft Of her children.
who will be placed In the keeping OF
their grandmother.
AT present the Castellane children
are at a school at Touraine. where
their mother frequently visits them"
The attorney said Prince De Sagan's
alleged escapades at the present time
had also grieved his own kinsfolk be-
cause OF the critical illness of his ven
cradle father, the Due de Talleyrand.
For some years the duke had been In
state OF decline. for the most OF the
time confined to the bed OF sanitar-
Ium.

the result of the fotball game. Aid.
and Mrs. Charles w. Burton found that
their home at No. 38 Brainard-st had
been ransacked during their absence
and that the intruder had made q
clean sweep Of their most cherished
belongings Their respective ward
robes were practically denued, while
highly priced silverware, including a
number Of wedding gifts and q silver
souvenir spoons belonging TO their lit
tie daughter, Phyllis, with her name
engraved upon each. were missing.
The stolen articles are valued at up
wards OF $500.
Two handsome new suits, one of
brown velvet and another OF brown
silk. belonging to Mr.. Burton were
taken, as well as a long. black broad
cloth coat. The thief overlooked q
blue wolfe suit Aid. Burton's spring
suit was left behind, and that Is all the
thief did leave him in the way OF
clothing except the buds" he wore.
The only clue to the burglar Is the
footprints of q small-footed man In
the snow covering the back yard.
These show that he first tr1ed to get
In a cellar window, but Mr.. Burton
had locked his two dogs in the base
ment on leaving, and they evidently
raised such a commotion that the Wis.,
itor had to abandon this route. En-
trance was finally gained through a
bath room window on the ground
floor. the burglar breaking the glass
and then reaching through the open
ing and unfastening the catch.
A step-brother OF Aid. Burton, liv-
ing In the G. M. Burton homestead
just across the street, saw light In
the house and. knowing that the fam
lily was In Ann Arbor, went over to
investigate. He was too late. The
burglar had made a clean getaway.
William Mauer's home at No. 500
Fourteenth-ave., was entered In SIM
liar manner during the family's alb
sence, Saturday night and looted OF
jewelry, silverwear and small
amount of money, the aggregate value
of the articles stolen being upwards of
5000. The robbers left no clue.
The home of Alex. Fferbeller, No.

WHITEHALL. Mich, Nov. l6.-As
the result OF an excursion In quest OF

men. Deputy Game Warden Julius Sal

and Martin Salmonsen, a brother oi
the game warden, were drowned. Their
bodies were recovered from the lake
this morning.
Salmonsen went out Saturday after
noon and cut two illegal nets from
their fastenings. Desiring TO make q
further search he returned to White
hall and secured the services OF HE
brother and Hazeltine.
II Is considered probable that the
boat was swamped by the heavy wind
OF Saturday night and that Salmon
sen, who was a former member OF the
lifesaving crew and good swimmer
had thrown of his coat when the boat
tipped, with the idea OF swimming and
perhaps rescuing his two companions,
