The Squaw Man" viii run a second
week in the Alcazar. commencing next
Monday evening. In the title part Au-

actor that the advance announcements
predicted. His acting as Jim Carston
thrills and throbs with real humanity

an actually in the mind of his audience.
1t is portrayal that places the man
who gives il upon a firm footing in
the favor Of the Alcazar's clientele

Interesting question that obtrudes itself
At every point the plot marches stead

There is none Of the melodramatic

the four acts is a play in itself, COM

and at no time does the interest lag

The bill at the Orpheum this week
will have as its chief novelty the beau
tiful Curzon sisters, who appear in an
act unlike anything else in vaudeville.

the stage, supporting themselves by
their teeth alone. They swing in wide
circles, whirl about in dizzy masses and
finish their act with a skirt dance fly
ing through the air. They have but
just returned from Europe, where they
created furore at the London Hippo
drome.
John w. World and Minded Kingston,
who can rightfully be termed inter-
national fayorites, for they have trav-
eled all over the globe, even visiting
the remotest parts of South Africa,
Australasia and the orient, will be inn
portant factors in the success of the
coming program. World has long
been recognized as versatile singing
and dancing comedian, while Miss
Kingstons fame as the soubrette with
the grand opera voice is international

they do it." is the apt description of
their performance by a well known
eastern critic.
Wilbur Mack and Nella Walker will
appear in a lively novelty called THE
Girl and the Pearl" which they have
styled "a musical Irritation" They

the author of many popular songs In

Told" "Just Suppose" which, with the
assistance of his charming col1eag que,
he will introduce.
Herr ]. Rubens. the Munich acade-
mician, will make his first appearance
in this city. He is transparent paint
er who paints in full view of the audi
ence landscape in all its summer
glory, which he almost instantaneously
changes into winter scene. He ex-
cells in game pieces, which. he depicts
with great color effect and realism.
Dogs, flower arrangements and butter
flies are also limned with wonderful
artistic effect.
This week will be the last of La Pc
title Revue, the five AVOIDS, Lena Pant
ger and of that gifted young comedi :
enne, Eleanor Gordon, and her capital
little company. A new series of inter-
esting Orpheum motion pictures, deal
ing with an entirely original subject,
will close the performance.

Brsusels, Dec. 13.--King Leopold
is dying, according to an nnoupce-
ment of one of his physicians early
today. 1t was stated that the end is
approaching rapidly, and that the
aged monarch's death Is but mat
ter of a few hours.
Cardinal Mercier shortly before
noon administered extreme unction
to the dying king. According to news
coming from the palace, Leopold re-
allies that the end is near. Prince
Albert of Flanders, heir apparent,
is at the palace, and has prepared to
assume the immediate duties of ad-
ministration that will fall to him
should his royal uncle die.
According to Prince Albert, as the
finish approaches, the kings usual
cynicism has disappeared complete
ly. His entire thought seems to be-
centened upon the future welfare OF
his country. This change in his
mental attitude is regarded as sig
nificant
Doctors Thierer and Stieson are in
constant attendance at the royal bed
side. They announce that tomorrow.
If the king lives until then, they will
operate for strangulated hernia. The
acute recurrence OF the monarch's
chronic trouble, followed by the par
alytic stroke that compelled him to
take to his bed, has weakened his
condition so that the result of the OPP
Grafton is feared, even by the ply
scians.
The only apparent interest shown
by the public in the kings condition
lies in the effect 1t will have on the
market. There is no noticeable per-
sonal grief among his subjects.

The president of the Good Citizen

effort would be made to remove
Chief Of Police Gibson from his Of
flee under the charter provision on
charge of not enforcing the ordi-
nances of the city against houses of
ill-fame and other violators of the
law, and an effort will be made to
put Constable Ira Hamilton in his
place. The present restricted dis
trict has not been changed by the
prosecutions, but all the houses have
signs in their windows: Furnished

to be no way to prevent these
people converting their places in
to rooming houses, although the
change is very deceptive to strangers.
The ruling of the county court
against running fee bills has driven
the Good Citizenship League to take
new lines of warfare, and the first
attack will be made to impeach the
city marshal, and get new chief OF

lieved that the city council will sup

The steamer Pomona, the only
river boat the Oregon City Ttrns-

Portland-Corvallis run, was dis
abled this morningnearIndep
by the blowing out of two sylinder

by the transportation company to

last week. No one was injured by
the explosion of the machinery in
the Pomona this morning and it is
thought that the steamer can be put
in running order soon.
