Crowd Is Dissatisfied


The disagreement Of the jury far

been SO freely banded about the cor

mence when the court finally dis
charged it, The sentiment was one Of
absolute disgust. Except for the rela-
tives and close friends gathered around
his chair Conboy had few partisans.
The two jurors who stood for an ac-
quittal were r. /. Cook. jeweler. 94s

second hand furniture dealer living at

that TO their minds the case was one Of

May Have Been Careless

The cause of the explosion is a
mystery. Some of the men who es-
capped attribute it to carelessness ON
the part of two of the victims. Nc
Carthy and Zoos. who were. handling
powder in drying house No. 1. which is
believed TO have been the source Of
the catastrophe. 1t is their theory
that these men paid the death penalty
for violating the fundamental rule OF
powder workers that boxes of the ex-
plosives must not be dragged across
a floor This is merely a theory, how
ever. and the true cause of the dis
aster will probably never be known.
Vice President ". P. MuIhern of the
Trojan powder company was not in
clined to place much eredence in the
theory of carelessness, and said that
a chance contact between nails. caus-
ing a spark and cOneussiOn. seemed
the most plausible explanation.

'THE QUEEN OF
 THE MOULIN ROUGE.'

The attraction at the Elks Theater on Tuesday, Oct. II, will be the much talked of musical comedy drama. "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge and promises to be the sensation of the present theatrical season. The production comes here under the management of Sam B. Rork, direct from a years run ot the Circle thea ter in New York and a six months run at the Olympic theater in Chi cago. The piece is the result Of the collaboration of Paul M. Potter, Jno. T. Hall and Vincent Bryan and is said to correctly portray night-life in Paris as it exists at the present time.
 The story has to do with the ad- ventures of the King of Orcania anc his bride-elect, the Princess Marotz on the night of the famous Quot-z- arts Ball, which is the annual dance organized by the studios of Paris and is the biggest event of the veal at the Moulin Rouge. The floats each containing the prettiest mode of the studio, are shown as they cir cle around the Moulin Rouge and as they are afterwards thrown into the River Seine. The peculiar songs and dances of the occasion are literally reproduced. Then are disclosed the odd resorts to which the party be- takes itself after the ball is done First, still in masquerade costumes they are seen at Madam St. Angelo $ gambling place, "The House witf the Green Shutters Then they ad

POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"

Polly of the Circus Frederick
 Thompson's big success, With Miss
 Ida St. Leon in the title role, is
 pretty, appearing st, rE of the tried
 and true type until ,.a circus hap pens into it. Then ill it's last fif-
 teen minutes it tapers off into
 commonplace show piece in which
 Polly is sacrificed to the scenery and
 the dream to the twinkling lights. It
 is to the credit of Margaret Mayo>s
 play that here be some disappoint-
 ment when Polly all but fades away
 and the circus moves forward. If the
 first two acts did not make her dear
 to the audience, no one would care
 a hurrah what became of her. She
 might return to the lot and forget
 about the young parson who had
 spent a year teaching her how to
 become a darling in a simple white
 frock and how to live a different
 and happier life than she had ever
 known as an equistrienne extraordi-
 naire, if that is what she was, for all any one would care. But when
 she developed a charming pathetic
 little character and in spite of all
 the commonplace of the stage and
 the most ordinary situations of the heart drama, keeps an audience Won- dering whether it should be ashamed
 of it's tender heart or proud to cry
 with her, and is then pushed aside
 while the scenery acts, it does ln-
 spire a kind of resentment. Polly
 it may be stated in explanation, as the heroine of Margaret Mayo's play , circus in which she was riding as her mother and grandmother hae ridden before her, played on lo1 . adjoining the parsonage of a Metho' dist church in a small Middle West ern town Her friends carried he, ! into the parsonage; the young min ister had her taken upstairs to the 5 spare room, and the circus of course } had to go on and leave her there. t Polly stayed at the parsonage T.
 months and in that time worked her self into the hearts of all who knew ] her, which is exactly according tt z the rule Then the circus played = over the same territory, came back g to the town again and again played ,. on the lot adjoining the parsonage r In the meantime much had happen , ed. Polly had grown to love tht l young minister and the young . minister had grown to love s Polly But just as they were abou e to confess their affection, the village l gossips made Polly think she wa: ' in the way and she returns to tht e circus. This is the production tha . played in New York at the Libert. !. theater for one solir year, and vii ,, be presented at the Elks theater pre- s cisely as seen in the metropolis.
