LAUGHED
The Opera House Should Be
Packed This Evening.

The Y. M. C. A. minstrel entertain
ment was greeted by fair but en-
thusiastic audience last evening at
the Grand opera house.
The association gives one of these
entertainments each year, and, while
the one given last year was pro-
nounced excellent, the one last night
was a far superior entertainment in
every sense of the word The songs
rendered were all of a high class
character-were well rendered, and
each was greeted with a liberal
applause. The jokes sprung were all
new and created much merriment
and laughter and the specialtiCN were
up-to-date, and were thoRoughly ap-
preciated. as was evidenced by the
applause given each.
Those entering into the compost
tion of the show had labored faithful
ly and industriously to make the en-
tertainment a success, and that they
achieved this end In the highest and
broadcast sense of the word was evil
denced by the attention and applause
given the performers during the en-
tertainment, and the words of praise
showered upon the participants upon
its conclusion.
The performance win be repeated
this evening. and IL you did not at
tend last night you should not fail
TO be there tonight.

Is for a 25 Per Cent Increase.
LnNIrnn ppnsa 1nAann wInn. 1

Chicago, Ills, Feb. 9.--Vice Pres
ident Whitney of the Brotherhood Of
Railway trainmen announced today
that unless the eighteen railroads
with terminals in Chicago grant the
trainmen's demanded wage increase
before Saturday, all switchmen and
yardmen employed by those roads
will strike.
He stated that an ultimatum will
be submitted to the roads tomorrow.
If the demand is refused the strike
will be called Saturday night.
Dissatisfaction with the existing
wage scales which was first ex-
pressed among the employees of the
roads east of the Mississippi river
and north OF the Ohio, has spread to
the roads between Chicago and the
Pacific Coast.
More than 10000 employees of the
western roads, including the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe, who are members OF the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers, have demanded a 20
per cent wage increase.
Their demand, which was pre-
sented to the general managers as
ISOLATION in Chicago by Grand Chief
w. S. McCarter of the brotherhood,
was rejected.
1t is believed here that the result
Of the ultimatum Whitney stated
would be given to the roads tomor-
row will have no little effect upon
the attitude the representatives of
the brotherhood will take in the pro-
posed arbitration conference.

Our Next Number

MUGGLING has always been unlawful but
~ popular-in romance and in real life. 1t
has enjoyed the tacit sanction Of society, de-
spite that the STAT les define it as criminal. In
late years distinction has been drawn between
the sporadic sneaking in of articles for personal
use and commercial smuggling. Perfectly good
people, apparently otherwise sticklers for the
observance of the letter and spirit of the law,
have unholy glee in getting things past the
customs officers without paying duty. Of
course the familiar excuse is that they don't
believe in the tariff when it applies to things
they want to wear-which would apply equally
to murder.

Loeb is so accustomed to bearing the blame for
things that he can't be happy unless people
arc saying things about him-not all of which
are fit for publication.

" an article about Mr.. Loeb's official efforts
for our next SUNDAY MAGAZINE, a remarkably

devices and subterfuges of modern smugglers.
1t takes in society women of wealth and school
teachers globe trotters and occasional tourists,
in fact pretty nearly everybody that crosses the
seas. to say nothing of prosaic commercial
s:nugglers. And the ingenuity of these folk is
past belief. You will read every word with
keen interest Mr.. Curtin really knows what
he is writing about.
