PASSION PLAY WILL BE SHOWN
TOMORROW NIGHT ONLY

Don't forget that tomorrow night
will be the only opportunity you will
have of seeing the reproduction of the
celebrated Passion Play at the Aero
dome theater. Inasmuch as these
films are much longer than the ordi
nary ones the first show will begin
promptly at eight o'clock and the
second Immediately after the close of
the first performance. As the seating
capacity of the theater is limited, the
management has determined to clear
the house at the close of the first
show. The price of admission will be
25 cents for adults and 10 cents for
children.
Messrs. EVAN & Stidd have reeeiv-
ed word from the General Film com
panv that the films showing the recent
coronation of King George of Eng
land will reach here about August
and. as the demand for them is great,
they, like the Passion pay, can be had
for but one night.

EVIL DAYS HAVE FALLEN
ON VICIOUS DOGS

"Unlicensed dogs and / are gettin

o 'Brien this morning on this return
from the pound where he had de-
posted a wagonload of CANNES cap
tured with the true O'Brien neatnness
and dispatch. The comment was not
amiss, for among the first of yester-
days captures was the ginger colored
dog whose attack on Mrs. Meehan, of
Columbia, Friday was chronicled in
these columns This canine, because
of his savage nature, was killed i'm
mediately on arrival at the pound
much to the relief of mothers in the
vicinity of Crook and First streets.
Probably the most interesting dog
case vet on record was that of a
black cocker spaniel, whose owner
did not care to go to the expense OF
providing the necessary license. The
dog was given to OBrien to kill and,
after allowing day to pass in the
hope that the owner would have a
change of heart, O'Brien set about
preparing a dose of cyanide for the
animal.
He placed the poison in a pan of
water and was watching it dissolve
when he heard a whine and looking
around found the dog up on its
launches "begging" as only a trick
dog can.
"Bela-a-av me,' said O'Brien,
'sthe' dog savvied tn bum dose that

SUCCESS NEw NAME
FOR WOOD ALCOHOL

The suggestion which has been made
that the word alcohol be abandoned as
descriptive of methyl, or wood alco-
hol. and the term wood naptha sub
stituted. is an excellent one and should
hv all means be adopted. The objee-
tion to the use of the term alcohol is
that the word has been so generally
identified with ethyl, or grain alcohol
in the public mind that to the average
lavman it has no other significance.
Chemically the term is generic, apply
ing to a considerable class of organic
compounds, and includes such widely
diverse substances as glycerine on the
ore hand, and cetyl alcohol, the chief
constituent of spermaceti, on the 9th
or. To the public, however, as al.
readv stated, the word alcohol simply
means ethyl hydrate, or grain alcohol,
TIE principal property Of which is to
irduee intoxication; consequently in
aigrent topers will drink anything
bearing the label alcohol, in ignorance
of the fact pointed out by DR.. J. b.
Holloway in his communication of
methvl alcohol ambylopia, that methyl
alcohol acts as a specific poison on the
optic nerve If this dangerous sub
stance was known and labeled as wood
naptha instead of wood alcohol. the
temptation to use it as an intoxicant
would be much diminished, though it
is quite possible that some besotted in
dividuals would find out its intoxicat
ing qualities and use it, regardless of
consequences. A change in the name
would also diminish its use in the
manufacture of cordials, etc, by
ignorant or unserupulous makers Of
cheap concoctions who now use it as a
substitute for the more expensive
grain alcohol, in many eases without
realizing the danger involved. Tn the
court of special sessions in New York
an Italian in the crowded East Side
was recently fined $3.50 for selling
anisette cordial containing a large
proportion Of wood alcohol, and it is
highly probable that large quantities
of these cordials are sold without de-
lection. The commissioner of health
of the city Of New York has issued a
special notice directing attention to
the danger arising from the use of
wood alcohol as beverage, a warning
which, in view Of the case mentioned,
is particularly timely.-Medical Jour
nal.

FREE GOLD FIND CAUSES
RUSH FROM HAWTHORNE

Samples OF quartz containing rree
gold were brought into Hawthorne a
few days ago by Fred Wallace, upon
his return from the south slope of
Mount Brant, fourteen miles from that
place.
Mr.. Wallace visited the prospects
which are being worked by Graham
Ingalls,, Nixon and Mike Knopf, and
succeeded in locating an adjoining
claim. After careful examination of
these specimens, Sheriff Eugene
Grutt, accompanied by Jim Turner
went out to visit the scene of this
strike, and Pete Fox, William AL.
brecht, John Enghlom. Frank Lorenz
DIR. Robinson and F. NJ. Chipman have
also made hurried trip from Haw-
thorne to examine the ground and
make locations.
There is well-defned quartz ledge
IN the Graham ground, eighteen inches
across, part of which is well spotted
with free gold. These claims are well
~ on the side of Mount Grant, and
the parties engaged in this work are
camped at the head of one of the forks
of Cat creek Sufficient interest has
been aroused to insure thorough
prospecting of the country, which is
closely adjacent to Hawthorne, and
the county commissioners will be
asked to consider the matter of con.
structing and improving some three
miles of road, which will be necessary
for the transportation of supplies.
The big pumps at the Lucky Boy
mine have been overhauled and re-
packed, and are now in readiness for
the work of unwatering the mine.
This work will consume week or
more, after which sinking win be be-
gun with az large q force Of men az
can be employed to advantage.-Gold-
held Tribune.
