DOCKSTADER
 FRIDAY NIGHT

Lew Dockstader and his minstrels, to the number of seventy, will ap- pear at the Elks Theater Friday night April 16, with minstrel show fash offered here. In the cities where MT. Dockstader and his notable aggrega- ton have appeared thus far he has been extensively colnplmented for presenting an innovation as well as an agreeable surprise to his numer- ous admirers. Mir. Dockstader set his wits to work last summer and developed an entertainment in black face that strikes an entirely new chord.
 In the first part the old idea of the singers and the orchestra assembled on the stage has been preserved, but in this instance it forms part of the story, and Dockstader daringly pro- claims that the story around which the songs, jokes, etc. are grouped :s just as logical as the average frame work of present day musical comedy. The rise of the curtain brings into view swell colored organization known as the "Possum Hunt Club" the setting showing the clubhouse on the left while the terraced lawn is occupied by the members seated at tables and symphony orchestra dis courses popular airs from the ve- randa.
 The colored gentlemen are deslrous of finding the North Pole and when Prof. Hightower CMr. Dockstader) drops down into the gathering with his aeroplane he explains how easily Peary and all the other explorers can be beaten in the search by aerial navigation. un the interim the mem- bers are furnishing delightful en- tertainment in the singing of beauti- full ballads. comic songs, telling stor- les and in a general way conducting themselves quite like those attending session of some social organization. 1 The master of ceremonies wanders about the grounds, bumps into Nell OBrien. Eddie Mazier or some of the others, starts an argument and gets all the fun of the clublike affair that
 used to be extracted from the old
 fashioned first part with its naughty <. interlocutor.

There was some talk about Argenta dropping out of the State League, which had some foundation, but 1t seems that interest has been revived in that city and that Argenta will In all probability have league ball fAe coming season. The special says:
 While baseball in Argenta has been in comatose state for the past few weeks, 1t took on new life this morn ing, and the crowd that Is behind the proposition means that there will be baseball in Argenta this season. back ed by the best business men of the city, who will be found boosting every day ir the week.

RUsSIA'S GREAT WATERWAY.
Baraes Lie Ten Abreast on the Volga
WAITING Their Turn.

Russias great waterway is the Vol
ga; it has a navigable length Of 1,5O0
miles, some 26O miles further than the
distance from st. Louis to the sea by
the Mississippi, says Paul w. Brown
to the st. Louis Republic. The Rus
sian winters are so cold that the sea-
son of navigation is barely six months
long, as against ten to twelve months
on the lower Mississippi from St.
Louis. From the head of barge navi-
cation the Volga communicates with
ST. Petersburg by way of the Scheksna
river and a series Of canals, making a
grand waterway, connecting the Bal
tic with the Caspian.
When ]. A. Ockerson Of the Missis-
sippi River commission, was at Ry-
binsk, at the junction of the Volga
with the Scheksna, last summer, he
saw barges lying ten abreast in the
stream, waiting their turn at the
wharves. A strange thing about the
Volga is the fact that the heaviest
tonnage is upstream. The trade in pc
troleum and it's products alone run
above 100000 tons annually; there
are upward of a thousand boats en-
gagged in it exclusively.
Steel tank barges of 1000 tons are
much used in this oil traffic. st. Pc
tersburg, separated from the Volga by
hundreds of miles of river and canal,
nevertheless receives from it more
than 100000 tons annually. At Mini
Novgorod, on the upper Volsa, the
boats arriving have numbered as many
as 1900 in the course of a six months
season. So rapidly has the traffic been
growing that the number of vessels
engaged in it increased 100 per cent
between 1884 and 1895, and has had a
further increase Of &c per cent since.
Most of the boats are built in Russia.
The steamers all burn oil. The gov
ernment project, according to which
the river has been improved, provides
for a depth of eight feet.

WARS IN AFRICA.
British Government Has Big Task In
Somaliland.

SOmdIilanos
The most serious native wars In
which Britain has engaged in Africa
have been those Of the Upper ME-
headed by the so-called Mad" Mullah.
The centre of these periodic dlstur-
bances Is Somaliland, where Great Br1-
tain's experience has not been nap
py one. In the last eight or nine years
she has fought the Mullah alone and
has fought him in alliarcs with the
|Abyssinians. She has fought him un-
der the foreign office and she mas
fought him under the Indian govern
ment. and the colonial office Is now
irving it's hand at the old problem. he
has beaten her, or all but beaten her,
once. and she has heartily drubbed MIN
two or three times. But the upshot OF
Il all is that he Is still alive and ac-
tive. merrily raiding the tribes under
her protection and most reprehenslply
oblivious of the embarrassments OF
government that is anxious above all
things to economize. She has spent
already $25,000,000 or so in chasing him
about the desert, and he is apparently
perfectly willing that she would spend
$25, ,000, 900 more. Why not, say some
people, leave him alone? why not
withdraw from the interior altogether
and hold only the coast towns? what
is Somaliland to Britain? There is no
trade there worth mentioning; its po-
litical importance is utterly insignit-
cant: the Somalis under her protection
have neither loyalty nor gratitude; the
country is an endless source Of worry
and expense. Why not clear out?
The answer is, first, that having es-
tablished a protectorate she Is bound
in honor to afford security Of life and
property to the inhabitants; secondly,
that withdrawal means handing over
the country to an anarchy which Will
continue until the Mullah, by ruthless
raids, has subdued all the neighboring
tribes; thirdly, that the strong fanati-
cal and retrograde Mohammedan pow
err thus established in northeast Africa
the interests of Italy, France and
Abyssinia-all friendly powers; and
fourthly, that to be kicked out OF So
maitland by the Mullah will lower her
prestige in Arabia, will fan the embers
Of fanaticism in the Soudan, will en-
courage the Somalis in the Jubaland
province of the east Africa Protector
ate to rebel and finally in view Of the
numbers of Indian troops and camp
followers who, after the last expedi-
ton, returned to their homes and are
now scattered widely over India, will
bring her into serious discredit
throughout the peninsula.
That England appreciates the grav-
ity of the situation is evident, for at
the present time it is being investi-
gated by Sir Reginald Wingate, the
Sirdar. Several courses are open, but
the only one which offers a final set
tlement is that of killing or capturing
the Mullah, and destroying for good
and ali the dervish force and move
ment This unquestionably is what
Britain will have to come to in the
end. Such an expedition would take
several months to prepare and would
undoubtedly cost a considerable sum,
somewhere between $2,5OO,0O0 and $5.-
100000, but would undoubtedly be
cheaper in the end.-Boston Tran
script.
