OLE OLSON COMING.

"Ole Olson" the quaint and natural
comedy drama in which the Swedish
dialect character was first made use
OF for stage purposes. will be played
at the Grand next Sunday, matinee
and night. This play has taken its
place as a f1nmaker by the side of the
German, Irish and Yankee dialect
plays, and "Ole Olson" is equally as
interesting and pleasing as any of this
style Of dramatic work. The charac-
ter is presented with natural dignity
and full appreciation Of comedy eff
fects. The story, of course, centers
around "Ole," and the cool and unruf-
fed manner in which he battles the
schemes OF the villain never fail to
get rounds Of applause, dealing as it
does with the tribulations Of young
widow and the efforts of a faithful
young Swedish man whom she has be-
frtended. to tighten her burden, is told
with the natural simplicity that Is
heart-appealing. Mrs. Jordan, the
widow, has almost overcome the
schemes Of an INSCRIPTIONS brother
in-law, when her first husband, Jeffer-
son Bassett, whom she has long be-
lieved dead, makes his appearance and
cooperates with the scoundrel to Sc
cure fortune left her by her first hus-
band. In their pursuit Of this plot
they run counter to the young Swede,
who instinctively dislikes the two ras-
Gals and becomes Mrs Jordans self
appointed guardian. The development
of the Swedish immigrant from the un-
NniIfh and awkward n tho Swedish
American citizen of the last act is car
ried along lines of mingled comedy
and pathos that have "the simple an
mails Of the poor" ever in mind. Ben
Hendricks heads this company.

duced rates will be allowed by selling
return tickets at a cut.
BY restricting the sale of tickets
to these gatherings the eastern roads
managers often defeat an organiza-
ton in securing reduced rates by
lack of attendance, but what is de-
sired is to have these rates thrown
open to the public and thus insure a
reduction.
There is little basis for the state
ment that scalpers will defeat re-
duced fares made for gatherings, as
the United States supreme court de-
cision is clear against brokerage in
contract form transportation, and If
such reduced rate tickets were sold
by scalpers it would be through the
allowance Of railroads.

catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with local applications as they can
not reach the seat of disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tsrrn Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly On the blood and mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not a quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians
in This country for years and is a
regular prescription 1t is composed
of the best tonics Known combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting
directly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such Won
derful results in curing catarrh.

| costumes, effects and exclusive opera
rights that have been used for the
| four seasons Mr.. Hammerstein has
conducted opera at the Manhattan
/ Opera house in New York. The Met
ropolitan Opera company today took
possession of all the productions sold
them by Mr. Hammerstein. The final
papers in the huge deal were signed
late Monday night.
| The following statement was given
out: ''As a result of four years ex-
| perience Mr.. Hammerstein finds that
| the production of opera on the scale
/ on which it has been his ambition to
produce it has become increasingly
difficult year by year. The exactions
of the artists, musicians and others
brought about by the rivalry between
| the two opera houses has grown al
most beyond control and has been the
occasion Of such advancing prices
that notwithstanding the generous
| patronage accorded by the public
each of the houses has been face to
face with a deficiency. Mr.. Hammer
stein is satisfied that it is in the in
terest of the opera-going public that
these exactions shall be kept within
bounds, unless we are to be deprived
of opera and that the only way to ac-
complish that purpose is to have one
opera house instead Of two"
Hammerstein has been a pictur-
esque personality and a significant
figure in the development of opera in
America. AS producer of opera in
English he gained profit and praise
in years gone by. but 1t was not un-
til 1905, when he opened the Man
haitian opera house with Nine. Nellie
Melba as his leading star, that he be-
gan to loom large on the horizon:
The popular support accorded the
first performance grew as the season
aged.
The following year Hammerstein
sought energetically for novelties and
gradually built up repertoire in
which the works of modern French
composers predominated. Offenbach's
Tales of Hofmann," DeBussy's ''Pel-
leas ct Melisande," Charpentier's
Louise Massenet's ''Thais" and his
LIE Jongleur" were given their first
American production at the Manhat-
tan.

Strauss ''Salome," with Mary Gar
den in the title role. after the Met
ropolitan had abandoned it. This
year he followed with "Elektra" by
the same composer. A venture in the
field of opera comique with a separ-
ate company was abandoned last sea-
son after a short trial and a so-called

prices, though carried to completion,

simultaneously he had invaded
Boston and Philadelphia, where
heretofore only the Metropolitan

road companies had played in Balti-

GEMS FOUND BY CHANCE
Hiding Place of 100000 Worth of
Jewels Revealed by Stumble.


Jewels Revealed by Stumble.
New York, April 2S.-The mystery
of the disappearance of 100000 worth
of Jewels of the late Mrs. Theodore
Octavia Moss, widow of a theatrical
manager, has been cleared up by a
freak of chance. The missing jewels
were revealed, it was learned yester-
day, by the accidental ouch of secret
spring which released a door in a pc
destal in the home of Mrs. Moss on
Madison avenue.
Mrs. Moss was a wealthy woman
and took no one into her confidence
Last January she died, and as her
Jewels were not found it was thought
that she had sold them.
A few days ago Beverly Kator, a
student at Columbia and grandson of
Mrs. Moss, while passing through a
room accidentally stumbled against a
pedestal Instantly the secret door
flew open, revealing a dazzling array
of gems-all the trinkets and jewels
that had been his grandmother's.

UnusuaI Method of Killing Young

Kewanee Star-Courier: Two farm

found under a gooseberry bush near
the place where the FARMERS lived.
The wolves, which were about the

ing Advantage of Tariffs
for Conventions.
SCALPERS APPEAR AGAIN
Surprise at Fight of Railroad Repre-.
sentatives to Conf1ne Benefits
to Organizations.

There is considerable surprise over
the way railroad representatives are
fighting an effort to give the public
the benefit of reduced rates made for
organizations.
At the hearing in Chicago Tuesday,
in which discrimination was charged
because rates for conventions are not
open to the public. Commissioner
Donald, representing the eastern
lines, in protesting the public bene-
fit, said that If the tickets ware sold
openly they would be handled by
scalpers.
This is a surprising statement to
come from this offlcer, say the COM
plainants, as he has been one OF the
active campaigners against ticket
brokers. It was under his jurisdic-
ton that the protective bureau was
formed which bureau has taken cred
it for the prosecution OF scalpers.
Many Promises Made in Past.
This bureau has sent out from time
to time glowing accounts OF its eff
fective work, and its representatives,
as well as most railroad men, are
loud in their declarations that ticket
scalping has been eliminated
During the many years fight to
kill brokerage the railroad men were
continuous in their declarations that
If revenues could be conserved
through the abolition Of scalpers the
transportation companies would con-
cede more to the public In the way
of rates and arrangements, particu-
larly for special gatherings.
The railroad men said that the nui-
sance Of compelling passengers to
sign return tickets at joint offices,
and use certificates and many other
cum bersome and arbitrary systems
would be abolished and journeys
made pieasanter. These pledges, to
some extent, especially in the west.
have been redeemed. Notice has been
given that there will be no Joint
agency nuisance this year in the Col
orado district.
This means that the passenger may
buy round trip ticket in Chicago
and when he is ready to return get
on the train without the formality of
standing in line at joint agents Of
fee several hours to have a clerk say
he is the original purchaser of the
ticket.
