under the direction of Manager Sid
|ney r. Ellis. whose superb produc-
tions in the past are a guaranty that
the coming performance will be as
picturesque and dainty as the sub
ject allows. As Indicated by the
title the play has an Irish atmos-
phere but the German element is
always present in the character OF
Metz Klonikilty, as portrayed by Mr.
Wilson. Irish folk lore has been
drawn upon for many important
Incidents in the piece and is said TO
lend an element to the story that is

Miss Anglin,s Trinmnhs.

Nednesday evening October ;.
at the Kentucky local playgoers will
have an opportunity of welcoming
one of Americas leading stars. Mar
Igaret Anglin. young actress who
has not appeared in the south since
she Won her great fame in ''Zira"
land ''The Great Divide" In both OF
which she played New York for two
continuous seasons. Today Margaret
Anglin ranks among the greatest
actresses of the American stage and
Il Is said that in "The Awakening OF
Helena Richie" adopted from Mar
garet Deland's novel, she has found
her greatest triumph. Much inter-
est is being evidenced in the COM
ling attraction. both from the fact
that the novel is so well known and
has been so widely read, and also
that Miss Angllns phenomenal ca
lreer makes her a character of more
than ordinary interest.

WAR ON MILK PRICES STARTS; RATE CUT
MAN ASLEEP IN HER
BED; WELLS FAIL TO
AWAKE HIM.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Miss
Ophelia Cobb, aged 81, went to
her room last night after visiting
friends and uttered a shrek.
Everybody in the apartment
house awoke and began to yell.
Miss Cobb, between shrieks, said
there was man asleep in her
bed. Then she tainted.
Somebody rang the fire alarm
and brought several engines.
Then came the police. When re-
vived, Miss Cobb pointed to her
bed. On it lay a man sleeping
peacefully.
Arrest him; he's a burglar" 3"
said Miss Cobb. They did.
When arraigned yesterday the
man said he was Patrick Morton,
1886 East Thirty-ninth street. He
told the judge he connected with
a great deal of whisky, and, see
ing the number 1886 on a house,
and remembering that his house
has the same number, he con-
cluded not to mind what street
the house was on but to get to
bed as soon as possible. This
story so impressed Miss Cobb
that she asked Magistrate Breen
to release Morton. He did.

When Mrs. Leeds was last in

FUNK FOR
UNIVERSAL
TRANSFERS
ORIGINAL ADVOCATE OF THIS
CONCESSION ON THE PART
OF THE TRACTION
COMPANIES
AFTER 1T FOR S YEARS
STILL BELIEVES IN THIS PLAN
AND is WELCOMING ALL
RECRUITS

When it comes to the question Of
universal transfers on the city car
lines the honors must be conceded
to Councilman Leonard Funk as the
original advocate Of this conces.
sion on the part of the traction com.
panies. .'~-
Regularly each year for five or
six years Councilman Funk has in
troduced resolution in the city
council to compel the car com.
panies to grant universal transfers
before any more franchises are is-
sued to them.
| Three or four times has the city
council passed such a resolution,
but afterward forgot or refused to
listen to it's being Incorporated into
franchises when such grants came
up for passage.
So the move to secure a universal
transfer is an old one In Spokane
and any recruits that are willing to
lend their aid at this time are well
come. If the people were to insist
on universal transfer 1t Is be-
lieved that it would only be a Ques-
ton of time until it is granted out
right by some mutual arrangement
between the companies or the con-
solidation of the two city systems.
Councilman Funk renewed his ef-
fort to have the universal transfer
granted when the recent franchise
to the Washington Water Power
Co. in Lidgerwood was under con-
sideration, but the effort to incor-
porate this in the franchise did not
meet with support. He also want
ed half fare for children at all
hours of the day and the year
| around. The car companies grant
reduced rates to school children at
the present at certain hours of the
day.
