Cigarettes wild ride through a blind
ing sandstone. Several hundred dollars
have been spent upon this one stage
effect.
Few romantic dramas of the day
have won the popularity everywhere
accorded to Under Two Flags" and
few stage characters have been more
discussed than that of Cigarette, whose
love for BERTHE Cecil and whose jeal-
ousy provide the big central motive of
the story.

elaborate production. both in point Of
scenic equipment and costuming.
Among the song hltS are a Dig Hllie

FISCHER S--A breezy burlesque in
one act and three scenes entitled The
Two Dads" is billed at the First street
playhouse for the coming week. Billy
Onslow and Fred Gamble are to as
sumo the title roles each impersonat-
ing an Irish father.
Onslow has an Irish speciality "Har-
rigan," in which he is supported by the
eight attractive Roly Poly girls. An

confined to mo One Like YOU" a duet
which she sings with Hugh Metcalfe,
and 1.-THE Same Old Moor" a solo.
Inez Allen, soubrette, and Eddie Muir
ray have duet, make a Noise Like

The plot deals with the adventures
of two Irish young people who after
meeting in Paris and representing
themselves to be French, get married.
The appearance of their respective
father begets laughable complications.
Annie Montgomery and Hugh Met
calfe are the young couple. Eddie

ter of a French count, and Inez Allen
Is rather tongue-tied old woman.

Continued from Page Eight
in the first act, wherein she is almost
continuously on the stage, but IN her
mental capacity of scrubwoman in the
bar of Sid McGovern, can say but Ut
tie. She tells the story of her love for
Jim Plat, his unfortunate life and the
terrible secret of their souls all by
means of her facial expression. In all
the noise and hustle of the barroom
scenes the audience has eyes only for
Nell Sanders. Not even her murder
scene in "Tess'' has won more praise
than Mrs. Fiske's portrayal of silent
stoicism in this basest of environments,
which robs her of all the artltlcial
aids to stage success and tests the
sheer histrlonic powers of the actress
as she proceeds to bare the innermost
soul of a lowly woman in the mute,
logged despair of a sordid task. The
famous Manhattan company Wnlcn
supported Mrs. Fiske in her New \ ork
run will produce the play at the Audi
forum.

tiers the Mason Monday it will see an

Washington, July 15.-Representa-

do not use imported wheat in manu-

Washington in the last twenty four
hours to urge the conferees on the tar

also seen other members of the house
in an endeavor to secure support for
the McCumber" proposition should they
be given an opportunity to vote to re-
tain it in the tariff bill. They appar-
emily have made little headway in
their plans. William Nelson Crom-
well, a New York lawyer, is reported
to be taking more than passing inter
est in the -four drawback question.
Members of the firm of Cromwell &
Sullivan appeared before the ways
and means committee during the hear
ings on the tariff bin as representa-
tive of the largest eastern milling
concerns and also filed briefs on the
subject of the drawbacks and a rep-
resentative of the same milling COM

Al report is also in circulation here
that McCumber will yield on his
amendment, but probably not until af-
ter making fight that will sustain
the record he has made on the ques-

FLYER NEAR SAWYER is
FRUSTRATED BY AN
ACCIDENT.

Minot. N. D.. July 15.--But for a
slight accident which delayed the west
bound 500 flyer last night, some 80
minutes, there might have been a
wreck which would have resulted in
an immense loss of lives and proper
ty. A fright train which was released
at Sawyer, owing to the hardness of
the flyer, ran into q pile of ties, three
miles this side of Sawyer, but owing
to the slow speed none of the cars left
the track.
An investigation showed that twen-
ty-five ties had been piled across the
track in an attempt to wreck the fast
train. The obstruction was cleared
away and track walkers were used
for the remainder OF the time elaps-
ing before the flyer went through.
The authorities are at work on the
case, but so far no clue has been dis
covered. Had the flyer encountered
the obstacles. It's great speed would
have meant a wreck which would have
caused a great loss of life.

I. Roosevelt Scores Predatory
Wealth In Outlook Article
NATION MUST REMEDY EVIL
HE DECLARES THAT MOVEMENT
ON BEHALF or COUNTRY TO
SECURE SUPERVISION OF, AND
TAXATION OF VAST FORTUNES
Is A MOST HEALTY ONE.

New York. July 15.--The Outlook TO-
day has an article by Theodore Roose-
welt, entitled, "Give me neither poverty
nor riches" 1t says in part:
'Tt is to be wished that some Of those
who preach and practice the gospel
OF mere materialism and greed and
who speak as If the heaping of wealth
by a community or by an individual
was in itself to be all and end Of al.
OF life, would learn that from the most
widely read and oldest OF the books
that are true wisdom which teaches
that it is we'll to have neither great
poverty nor great riches.
Would Replace Unrest.
1.-THE movement which has become
so strong during the past few years to
secure on behalf of the nation, both
an adequate supervision of and an ef-
fective taxation of vast fortunes SO
far as their business use Is concerned
Is a healthy movement. II aims to
replace the sullen discomfort, restless
pessimism and evil preparation for a
revolution, by an aggressive healthy
determination to get to the bottom OF
our troubles and remedy them.
A Dangerous Criminal.
"The multi millionaire is not per-
sonally healthy development In this
country. If his fortune rests on basis
OF wrong doing, he Is a far more dam
gerous criminal than any OF the ordin-
airy types OF criminals can possibly be,
IL his fortune is the result Of great
service rendered, well and good. He
deserves respect and reward for such
service"
Penalty on the Absentess.
Respect and reward for such service
although we must remember TO pay
our homage to service itself and not
to fortune which is a mere reward Of
service, but when his fortune is passed
on to some one else who has not rem
dered service then the nation should
impose a heavily graded progressive
Inheritance tax, singularly wise and
unobjectionable kind of tax. 1t would
be particularly good thing If the tax
bore heaviest on the absentees."
