A GUARANTEED SHOW.

The Girl That's All the Candy"
which comes to the opera house next
MONDAY, is q far better show than

con, our local manager should be con-
graduated in securing SUCH an attrac-
ton and to encourage him to bring
more companies our people should
turn out and support it. Mr.. Bacon s
contract calls for the very same pro-
duction as gwen in the large cities.
Every piece OF scenery and all cos
tunes must be used. It will be the
very same show YOU will pay $l,5Q
to see In Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati,
or any of the large cities. 1t is a big,
expensive show and our opera house
will have to be packed for the CONF
pany to break even. 49,.
It is the. first time they have ever
played for this low admission, and in
order to ho4l the admission as stated
Mr.. Bacon was obliged to guarantee
the company that their receipts would
be at least $30U.00. II our people
don't turn out and support this attrac-
ton they can't expect Mr.. Bacon to
bring any more such companies here.
Any one who is not satisfied can have
their money back when the show is
over. You run no risk. Turn out
you can't afford to miss this show.

Sues On. for $4,000

The case of Matthias Schumacher,
as administrator of the estate of Louis
Schumacher, his son, in which the
plaintiff is suing Mathew H. Mills
and the Great Northern Railway COM
|pany for 100000, has required practi-
cally all the time in district court,
during the past week. The case will
60 to the jury tomorrow.
This is legal battle royal, between
some of the best known attorneys Of
the state. The plaintiff is represented
by F. B. Lambert of Minot, and Atty.
Dewitt of Wahpeton, while the inter-
ests Of the defense are looked after
by LeSueur & Bradford of this city,
and Murphy & Duggan of Grand
Forks.
The accident which caused the
death of Brakeman Louis Schumacher
happened at Berthold, N. D., in June,
1907, and is we'll remembered by many
in Minot. Schumacher was riding on
top of the train which was just pulling
into Berthold, when Conductor Mills
set the air, from the rear OF the train.
The engineer at the same time receiv-
ed orders from the brakeman, Schu-
macher, to go ahead, as the brakeman
had misunderstood the conductors or
ders, it is alleged. This resulted in
the trains parting, and five cars were
piled up in the ditch, causing Schu.
macher's death. 10
The defendants claim that If there
was any carelessness on the part Of
anysof its agents it was on the part
of Schumacher himself. be-. .,aL.-
One point of interest that was brot
out in the trial, was that OF common
law marriage. While it is not claim
ed that Schumacher was married, the
plaintiff alleges that he was related
to the woman for whom the damages
are claimed, by common law" mar
riage. The Judge ruled that common
law marriage was valid in 50 far as
the rights Of property is concerned.
A special verdict will be submitted
to the jury, containing specific ques-
tons pertaining to the case. This YER
dict was demanded by the defendants
and allowed by the Judge. 4.
The wife of Louis Schumacher, by
common law marriage with her littS>
son, has attended the trial through
ou-. s III
The next case to be tried is tina,
of the 500 Railway company VS..
James L. Smith and A. A Robinson
The case practically condemnation
proceedings pertaining to the sale of
lots facing North Reishus street,
which the 500 desires for it's new
passenger depot. The defendants, it
is understood, offer to sell the lots to
the lots to the 500 for $4,000, while
the company has offered but $4,000.
Two cases that will come up next
week, are the State VS., Kelley. from
Williams county, and the other, the
State VS.. D. M. Noah, for murder.

Managua, Feb. 10.-The revolution

Chamorro and Masis captured Mata'
galpa this morning. On receipt of
the news that Matagalpa had been
taken by Chamorro, the authorities
here declared that the city was un-

having evacuated it. It is rumored
however, that the insurgents defeat

continued on to Matagalpa without

Wyoming and New Mexico after

If any payments are required, as
in cases where the lands were form
erly within Indian reservations, the
act operates to extend the date the
payment becomes due until the entry
is made
A leave of absence of three months
from January % last is permitted
these homestead entrymen, but those
who avail themselves of this privi-
lege cannot claim residence during
their absence from their claims, and
the period of residence under either
or five year proofs is
not shortened by the act.

Calhoun ON
10 HOUR DAY

Springfield, Ills, Feb. 10.-William
]. Calhoun, United States minister to
China, appeared before supreme
court of Illinois today, in an appeal
to have that body overrule a decis-
ion bearing upon the ten-hours a day
working law for women. Judge Tut
hill last July held the law limiting
the working day to ten hours un-
constitutional in that it infringes
woman's right to contract for the
price Of her labor. Calhoun was one
of the large number of Chicago men
and women opposing the decision,
who appeared before the supreme
court. The minister to Chicano told
the court that he would confine his
address to a single phase Of the case
its humanitarian or common sense
side.
"When men and women are depen.
dent upon their daily wage, when
they are face to face with poverty
all the time, when the loss of a days
work and a days wages means not
enough money to pay rent, or not
enough to buy food, it is not fair, it
is not common sense, to say that
they enjoy any freedom to contract
for the sale of their labor" he said.
Must the selfish desire of a few
men to sell more goods, to grind out
more orders, be allowed to stifle the
needful demand Of maidenhood and
of motherhood"
