king D0DO" come

PLAY HAS HAD A WONDERFUL
RUN IN THE BIG CITIES OF
THE EAST.
Short Review Of the Story Of the Play
MANY New Song Hits Will BE
introduced,

king Dodo," one of the merriest
comedy operas of recent years, will
be the attraction at the Bijou opera
house this evening.
This promises'4to be the theatrical
musical event of the season local
ly.
king Dodo" is, perhaps, the most
successful entertainment Of its ma
ture produced from the pens of Amer
lean authors. The writer of the lib
retto Is Frank Pixley, while the mu-
sic is by Gustav Luders. Mr.. Pix
ley's book is filed with bright lines.
He has taken for his theme the de-
sire OF an old king to regain his
youth, and when the king does reach
the coveted goal he finds that he has
only gathered the apples of Hesper-
ides, for a certain bewitching queen,
who has fallen in love with him as
an old man, will have nothing to do
with him as a young one, and SO he
is very happy when band of con-
spirators throw him into the same
fountain from which he has first TAX
en- his magic draught and which re-
stores the monarch to his old age.
The complications are fully as anus
ing an am that have ever been pre-
scented on the stage.
king Dodo" has~a wonderful rec
ord. It enjoyed a run OF one solid
year, divided between Days Theatre,
Ne WORK, the fremont Theatre, Bos-
ton, and the Studebaker Theatre,

Stone STEPS Are
Being PUT IN PLACE
LAST TOUCHES ARE BEING PUT
ON METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH..
Steps Cost About $500 Dollars and
viii Be Completed TIN sWeek Is
the Plan.

The big stone steps for the Meth
odist church are being put into place
and Contractor Hallum, with Tom
Fortune and George l.. Gilbert, have
been supervising the work for the
past week.
There is a carload Of Minnesota
sand stone in the new steps, which
circles about the main entrance with
a big sweep, making the entrance a
handsome and imposing one. The
cost of the steps Is something like
$500. The stones come all cut and
charted, so that the contractors and
stone settlers have merely to follow
the chart, building brick and con-
crete foundations as they 90.
The raising Of the stones into place
is no. small task, but will be dose
this week.

RED CROSS STAMPS
SOLD in BISMARCK
GOVERNOR BURKE HAS PAVED
THE WAY FOR OBTAINING
PERMISSION.
Local Anti-TubercuIosis Societies
Will Profit BY the Sale - Has
Been Done in the East Before.

Red Cross stamps will be sold in
Bismarck and other cities In the
state this year.
It has been made possible by the
interest taken in the matter by Gov
ernor Burke, he having taken up the
matter with Charles L. niece, secre-
tary of the American National Red
Cross society. The stamps were sold
in many of the states of the union
last year but North Dakota was I'M
able to obtain the permission of the
society for the sale in this state at
that time. Now that Governor Burke
has taken "a hand in the game the
sales will be made.
The stamps are to be used on all
Christmas packages sent. either by
mail express or any other method,
and were very popular in the east
last year. .; se.ys .-...,. .,
As is explained in the following
extract of a letter received by Mrs.
e, P. Quain OF this city, the local
Anti-Tuberculosis society Of this
CITY will profit by the sale and Will
secure funds for fighting the Great
White Plague within the confines
of the state:

To all Agents for American Red
Cross Christmas STAMPS.
The American Red Cross by form
al action on October IA, 1909, has re-
duced its own proportion Of the pro,
ceeds of Christmas stamps from IS
1-3 per cent to 20 per cent.
The Red Cross has estimated that
by retaining one-third OF the proceeds
Of stamp sales. it would be- enabled
to meet all lof thevexDenses which 1t
had assumed and realize a net profit
Of perhaps IS per cent. It was the
intention to apply this Is per cent
of profit to the furtherance of tuber-
culosis work in some national way
or to any other urgent demands OF an
fmperetive character. After more
: thorough consideration, it has seemed
wiser to permit the application OF the
), returns from the sale of stamps to go
more fully into the local tuberculosis
work in the various states. For. this
reason the above mentioned action
was taken. The result will be that

Blu RNING GAS.

Wethope, N. D., Ooct. 19.-Natural
gas from the wells nine miles south
of town was turned into the pipes yes

night. Nearly every residence and

cigar VENDOR PLACED||
In n0SkINS' STORE
UNIQUE MECHANICAL SALESMAN
rs NOW ON EXHIBITION ;~:'
d. DOWN TOWN..
Sluos. and Lead Nickels Will Not
Work - May Be Forerunner OF
Battery of Machines.

Hoskins has an automatic cigar
vending machine that is attracting
much attention, and may be prelim-
mary to the installing Of number
Of these machines in public places.
The machine is an ingenious device
BY which cigars are vended from the
original package, which is necessary
under government regulations.
The original box necessity makes
the construction of these machines
difficult, but so well has the work
been done that. the machine never
misses fire, and the working Of the
device shows what skin, ingenuity
and a few bits of metal will do
when properly put together.
There is a plate working on
wormed groove that fits into one end
of the box and pushes the cigars out
into the main entrance, or rather
exit. which is a slotted cylinder in
to which the cigars fall and are roll
ed out one at time, upon the depos-
It of the necessary sum in the slot.
A magnet at the top swiftly grabs
all slugs and keeps them out Of the
gear, SO that there Is no chance to
beat the machine.

In. R. COMMISSIONERS
IN SESSION WEDNESDAY
MINIMUM WEIGHT FOR CARLOAD
OF CATTLE WILL BE TAX
EN- UP.
Old Ruling Is Obnoxious to Cattle
Men West Of the River - Elevator
Bonds to Be Passed On.

The North Dakota railroad COM
mission will hold a special meeting
in their offices at the capitol build
ing today.
One of the main items to be dis
cussed will be the minimum weight
for carloads of cattle shipped from
west Of the Missouri river to the east
ern markets.
It appears that number Of years
ago when there was nothing but range
cattle shipped from west Of the Mis-
souri,, the road made minimum
rate of $4,000 pounds for a 32-foot car
load Of cattle. 1t was an easy mat
ter to crowd this amount Of range
beef into a car of that size, but since
the west has gone in for corn and
stall fed cattle which are smaller,
it Is impossible to load car with
asking for the same minimum rate
that is allowed east fthe river,
namely $4,000.
The shippers west of the Missouri
river maintain that they should be
given the same minimum rate as
those east of the river, where the
conditions now are the same.
There has only been one complaint
about car shortage listed with the
commission this year. and that will
be heard at the meeting today. The
complaint is really not a car shortage
but more the nature Of discrimina-
ton against a privately owned ele-
vator as in favor Of a line house.
The complaint alleges that line
houses have been able to get cars
while the local houses have had to
hold their wheat and many times at
loss as the market has gone down
while the grain was on their hands.

Josephjns's Man Namea

Josephine. empress of the French was Yeyette 10 her intimate friends, Her name in reality was Marie tosephe Rose. Napoleon after the marriage sxacted that she should be known as Josephine. He had a mania for re- baptizing the women of his entourage. He made his sister Marianne an Elise. of Annonciade a Caroline. of Paulette . Pauline.
 Among her numerous friends Joseph fine remained Yeyette. Barras never called her otherwise.
 The pope was so unfamiliar with her name that when he sent his bene- diction the letter borne by his legate was addressed to "Our Sister in Jesus Christ, Victoria Bonaparte,''
 In 1914. on the departu0 for Elba, the Debats designated Josephine under the paraphrase "the mother of Prince Eugene"
 At Ruell her tomb bears this simple inscription, "A Josephine, Eugene ct Hortense. 1895" The restoration did not permit her recognition as empress. -Cri de Paris

Tho Substitution,

It Is . well known fact that both Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir W. s. Gilbert had . horror of the titles of their operas becoming known until the very night of their performance. This fear that they might be foresta!.ed ere ated consfderab bls confusion at the mi tial production of "Iolanthe: or The Peer and tho Peri" Tho opera was rehearsed for weeks under the title of "Perola." It was only at the dress rehearsal that the company was in- structed to substitute the name 10 lanthe" for that of "Pero!a" wherever 1t occurred in the text or lyrics. It was DO easy task to replace vocally and in the dialogue . name of three syllables for one of four. Sullivan, however. said (maybe aside) to ono or two of the actors who were nervous: 'Go ahead and sing the music. Gil bert won't be in front (Gilbert never attended the first night, ''so use any name that you think of first if you are rattled. No one in the audience will be any wiser" r."-Boston Post
