1.-THE RED MILL"

OF all the musical successes which
have been endorsed by New York,
Boston and Chicago, none stand out
more boldly than does Martin & EN-
cry Co.'s production of the Henry
Blossom and Victor Herbert musical
story, THE Red MILL" which comes
to the Grand opera house next Wed
nesday night.
The tone of refinement which per.
Vades this unusual musical play, the
modest and picturesque costuming, the
interesting story of two American tour
| lists who have gone broke on a travel.
Ing trip and who, after many compli-
| Gated situations, find themselves as
sisting in an escape from the old red
mill, form one of the most sensational
stories ever given musical setting.
1t is made doubly entertaining by the
! introduction of some of Victor Her
DeItS most tuneful music. Mr.. Her
bert has fitted Mr. Blossoms unique
story and telling lyrics with melodies
that will be hummed and sung and
Whistled for many years to come.
Among the best musical numbers
heard in The Red Milf are EVERY
Day is Ladies' Day With Me-" You
Never can Tell About a Woman" Go,
While the Coins Good" 1.-The Streets
of New York. Because You're YOU"
THE Isle of Our Dreams" and Il

by which the player can read his OPP
ponent's cards as they are dealt to
him. Another is concealed in a peck
etbook which the manufacturer says
may be laid on the table before the
player without arousing suspicion.
A slight pressure on the pocketbook
causes a mechanical hand to creep
out, grasp the card wanted and carry
1t back in hiding.
Concerning a holdout contrivance
which costs only $95, the manufactur-
er says:
Nothing suspicious, no unnatural
moves, no strings or rubbers 10 break

Of detection"
The firm handles an attractive arti-
Gle for cigar stores. II is an electro
magnet and works with transparent
dice on the cigar case. The machine
is in the shape OF the ordinary cigar
moistener usually to be found in cigar
cases, and IL works this way:
In order to make a big throw all
you have to do is press the secret
squeeze and throw the dice over the
spot where the magnet is concealed.
You can better almost any throw
that your opponent might make and
this with the same dice he uses and
without any juggling Of the dice or
box. You put the dice i'm the box
and toss them out in a careless way
The dice roll perfectly natural at ali
times, and no one can see any differ
ence when the current is on, only in
the size Of the hands thrown. The
current is neither heard, seen nor
felt"
The magnet is also made for persons
who do not run cigar stores. The
attachments can be screwed under an
ordinary table on which dice games
are played. The firm sells "dice-tops"
with "come high" when spun one way,
anG come low" when WhrIed In The
opposite direction.
Concerning a crooked wheel offered,
the firm says: Have operated it our
selves for the last two years to the
entire satisfaction Of ourselves and
everyone associated with u.s."
1t is claimed that this wheel can be
stopped at any space desired and the
maker guarantees that detection is
impossible. OF another wheel the cat

made without a gaff. We guarantee

CLINCHER VOTE

Bismarck, N. D., Feb 25.--A row in
the corridors of the capitol building
took place last night Immediately after
the vote by which the clincher motion
for the adoption of the majority report
of the Cowan investigating committee
was announced. The principals of the
scrap were Secretary of State Norton,
H. j. Flynn of Westhope, brother-in-
law OF Judge Cowan. d. II. Brennan,
editor of The Devils Lake Inter Ocean,
and Attorney Mccarthy of York.
The crowd was leaving the house
chamber and general excitement pre-
vailed. Secretary of State Norton and
Mr.. Brennan were passing through
the corridor together on their way
down stairs.
Mr.. Flynn and Mr. Mccarthy were
standing conversing together A re-
mark was heard to emanate from Mr..
Flynn regarding eavesdropping, which
the secretary of state is said to have
resented. The latter turned on the ac-
cused jurists brother law and is
said to have made two rapid passes
at Flynn. The couple was separated
at once by bystanders.
After some comments from the Sec
rotary other resentful remarks were
made by others, which led to second
escapade between Editor Brennan and
Attorney Mccarthy, who were also sep
arated by friends who had gathered
quickly to witness the episode. Secre-
tary Norton, accompanied by Mr..
Brennan and Mr.. Bloom of Devils
Lake, then left the group and went
down stairs to the formers Office

some "SURE Things"

The department of justice has de-
cided that the federal statute relating
to the use Of the mails to defraud,
covers the sale of sure thing gam
bling devices ~ various kinds. The
postoffice inspectors here and else
where are on the trail Of the manu-
facturers of these devices and will
prosecute every case that comes up.
For some years the manufacturers
Of these crooked devices have used
the mails boldly in selling their
goods, because they believed that as
the manufacturers they could not be
held for the acts Of persons who used
them to defraud the unwary public.
The postofiice inspectors have had
catalogues and other printed matter
sent out by the manufacturers, but
have not felt justified in proceeding
without an opinion from the depart
ment of justice.
One OF these catalogues has the
following to say of the dice on sale
by the firm:
1--WE wish particularly to cali your
attention to our transparent work.
We load these goods in the bird's-eye
spot work and we also load the COM
mon, ordinary concave spot work.
This work is executed so cleverly that
they defy detection. We also manu-
facture a transparent. bar-dice and a
buffed transparent dice that will go
for square SO times out of 100, One of
our most clever productions in the
transparent line is our adhesive dice.
Wise ones will stand for them, just the
same as the novice"
Concerning a brand of dice called
loaded transparent crap dice" the
catalogue says:
eve honestly can recommend them
for bankers use and for the pro-
lection OF your game. Players have
confidence when shooting with a pair
of these dice, because they can see
through them. They do not excite
suspicion. The work is there but it
cannot be seen"
Among the useful articles the firm
has for sale are amalgam and cellu-
loid rope for loading dice, ink for
marking cards, thumbnail pricks, and
"daubers for marking cards while in
play" There are "refiectors made to
fit on a ring" burrs for drilling dice,
shears with thermometer attach
ment to cut out a piece of a card no
wider than the thickness of a piece of
tissue paper, corner FOUNDERS. and full
instructions for using the devices.
Holdout machines, designed to reach
out from gamblers sleeve, lift up a
card and hold it up the sleeve until
needed, are advertised in great number
and variety. Some of them work by
chest expansion, some by arm pres
sure, some by lifting or Strengthening
the leg, and others in mysterious ways
which are kept secret.
You can come and go with your
hand fiat on the table while your OPP
ponent is calling your bet" is said Of
one of these devices, which is war
rented TO work nOiselessly and can be
worn with a white or flannel shirt.
Poker tables with the holdOut con-
trivance built into them may also be
purchased, and they are Warrented to
stand the closest inspection.

sentiment from the day before after
the bill had been lost by a vote Of
81 to 81, that the measure would carry,
and Senator Kennedy was hopeful of
its passage. However. when it was
revived, the bill was lost on the final
vote, much to the regret of those who
favor the union men.
The union label bill now goes by the
boards for this session at least, for it
