1.-THE Third Degree" Chas. Klein's
latest play, which comes to the Bijou
tonight fresh from "a run of seven
months at the Hudson Theatre, New
York, treats of certain conditions that
exist in social life IN New York, TO-
gether with the assuming of powers
by the police that have never been
conferred by law.
Howard Jeffries, Jr., being found
on the premises where death under
strange circumstances occurs, is ar
rested by the police, and after being
compelled to undergo sweating pro
cess, termed "tlle third degree" con-
fesses that he is guilty of murder.
His wife, of all the world, believes
in his innocence, and unaided and
alone, sets out to clear him from the
stigma of the crime. BY reason of
young Jeffries having married be.

Through the persistence of the young
wife and ner earnestness, she enlists
the aid Of Richard Brewster, lawyer

ing that this connection with the de-
Tense will visit on him the loss OF

wife. than her unfortunate husband !,
and through the ingenuity and cum
ming of the woman, plans a defense
that establishes clearly beyond doubt
the innocence of the accused.
The play has certain marked meta
physical features combined with the
exposition of hyDnotism produced by
physical force instead of mental sug-
gestion. In the end young Jehfries
Is cleared and his wife earns for gher-
self the social recognition that has
heretofore been denied her.

LOCAL RAILROADERS
DO NOT FEAR STRIKE
SWiTCHMEN AND TRAiNM EN- NOT
AFFILIATED WITH EACH
OTHER.
Local Freight Moving Satisfactorily
Bismarck Fortunately Situated In
Regard to Fuel.

Local conductors and railroad men
do not look for amy general strike
arising from the failure of the switch
men and the railroad managers to
reach an agreement, although they
admit THAT such "a thing is possible.
1t lis pointed out, however, that it
takes a general referendum of the
train men to order a general strike,
and that such a vote would take sew
eral weeks.
The switchmen and the trainmen
have never been affiliated an dtheir
relations have not been the closest,
and general strike is not probable
unless it should arise out of some
grievance CT the trainnnen themselves,
and at the present time there is moth
ing in view but a possible request
for an increase of pay, which will
probably go to a board of arbitra-
tiCm.
Local freight is moving, although
not as regularly ais before the strike
Shipments of fuel from the east and
west have been delayed, and there is
a shortage of some fuels in the local
yards.
Uignite is moving on the 500 line
from the north, and Bismarck is for
tunately located in that it has plenty
of local fuel near at hand.

"a serious handicap to colleg work.
The loss will exceed the insurance
by about $20,0U0 and the trustees

SHORT.
Several Seizures Have Been Made anc
There are wore 20 Follow To-day
and Tomorrow.

Sheriff McGillis is having his troub,
les this week, but seems to be work
ing out of it satisfactorily.
1t was noted in yesterdays Tribune
that he was forcing the payment Of
personal taxes by levying on furni-
ture and other personal property and
the publication of the faI=ts evidently
had a good effect, as there was a rush
for the county treasurer's Office yes
terday by those who were behind in
this particular line, and as a result
the cash box was enriched by several
hundred dollars.
There are, however a large number
who have not come through yet. and
these Mr.. McGillis states he will get
after for the rest of the year.
The sheriff, under the law, is per-
sonally responsible for the collection
of these taxes, and says that he in
tends to make cleaning regard ess
of race, color, politics or previous
conditions of servitude. While there
were no seizures made yesterday, the

WINTER.

WlNIEH.
Winter winds are blowing,
The SNOW is drifting fast;
The wind it has been going.
But still DIT seems to last.
The snow in drifts Is lying,
The thermometer is low;
The people they are signing,
20, that there were no snow!"
To me it makes little difference,
How the wfntry winds do blow,
Or now the snow is drifting
Far above and down below.
But God, who gives us everything,
He also gives us snow,
o. let us praise and thank Him,
From whom adj blessings flow.
And may we all lbe waiting,
Patiently for spring,
And be mot mean, nor mating,
The snow, but let us sing:
o. God, We thank thee, one and all,
For all Thou givest us,
Now let Thy mercy fall,
And bless us, every one.

Washin gton, May 6.-There was a
near-mutiny right in the capital OF
the nation Sunday morning, which.
while Il dfin't result In any loss az

iety and much physical exertion.

cargo OF assorted liquids aboard,
tackled up Pennsylvania avenue ear
ly Sunday morning, trying to make
any port in the heavy weather. John
Barebones muttered to himself as
the cargo he carried SHIFTED by the
list OF the good boat Shaver, but
his mutterings were indistinct, and
sounded something like Take me
some'eres east o. Suez; we're n man
can raise a thirst. Perhaps 1t was
the listing OF the cargo.
Port at Lat
ing he spied the benches arrangs I'd
about the statue OF Gov. Alexander

of Washington former governor he
saw not at all, his eyes being upol
the ground and things nearest 1t.
Good night, matey." he sighed TO
no one in particular as he made
dive for the nearest bench. Call
me early in the morning, moth ar
dear, for I" and then the good
ship Shaver came into a haven at
last.
1t was cod along the Great Vile

O'Clock, when the sun peeped over
the top OF the city and insolentiy
stared down at John Barebones
Shaver, that heavily-laden sailor,
Shivered once or twice. opened first
one eye and then the other a1d
scrambled to his feet. He looked
about him anxiously. The little
birds across the way could see even
from where they sat, that Johns
cargo still dominated him. His Wis
ion was not clear and his step far
from steady.
He Awakes.
With one farewell glance, John
Barebones started to leave his ham
mock OF wood, when turning he saw
the yelled statue of the governor IN
all the majesty Of the early morning
sunlight.
"a bloomin' outsider" said Joha
Barebones. "a bloomin' ossifer, au'
me some'at drunk" The long thin
figure bowed with the weight OF his
cargo, Strengthened up, the shoulders
went back into position, the head
went up slowly and painfully. ana
Shaver, the liquor schooner, became
once more John Barebones Shaver,
OF his unc'e's battleship.
He marched out in front of the
bronze figure, standing high and
cold and unmoved on it's pedestal, !

Gov Alexander Robey Shepherd
made no sign.
Il beg pardon, sir, did you want |
me, sir?' repeated John Barebones,
this time in a little higher voice |
Again no sign.
II begs to inform you then, sir,
that you can go to ELL" and John
Barebones Shaver beat It with some
rapidity down the Great Wide Way
When he gets back to his ship he
may be in great fear; Attain the li7t

Cbristmas Tree Plentiful.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 17.-This
wears crop of Christmas trees is
abundant and of a good quality, al
though the price is about the same
as last year. The open weather in
the northern states and New Bruins
wick has made it an easy matter to
gather stock. At retail the trees are
selling for from 40 TO 10 cents each,
oking to size and quality. The ever
greens cost the dealer about forty
cents a BUNDLE, each bundle con-
tanning from one to five trees. Trees
retailing at fifty cents are said to
cost the dealer only about twelve
cents, but this large margin OF profit
is defended by the inconvenience OF
handling this sort of merchandise,
the large cost of delivery and the
the great risk. Trees left on hand
after Christmas are only so much
rubbish, and cannot be given away.
New Brunswick supplies large part
of the trees used in New England
and the East generally.
