Other dealers are expected by the women to follow the lead of the big houses to- morrow. %

The Spring Maid Said to Be Better
 Than Ever.

Local opera lovers will have a gala musical event next Friday evening when Werbe & Luescher's joyous mu- sicale success, The Spring Maid, comes to the Davis theatre.
 The Spring Maid. with it's sparkling comedy and alluring song hits enjoyed a .coast-to-coast triumph last season. There is musical charm in every bub- bling note of its delightful score, and 70 much interest Is taken in the com inEhviSit that mail orders are already being received. The company is head ed by the gifted prima donna, Gene Luneska, of whom the Grand Rapids Herald says:
 Itsmay, be as well to say that the entire company is even better than last seasons organization. The Spring Maid is a delightful operetta, which must stand as the best of the Viennese trio, Including The Merry Widow and The Chocolate Soldier. It is the most artistic and tuneful play that has been seen here. A final testimonial to the completeness and finish of the pro- duction is the spirited work of the special orchestra"
 The management promises the same company and production seen last sea son. headed by Gene Luneska and J H. Goldsworthy. and including the fa- nous Spring Maid chorus and ballet and the. special orchestra including Madame Latisch, royal harpist to H R.5 H., the King of Saxony.
 Seats for the engagement are now on sale.

BREED THEATRE.
Alice Joyce and Tom Moore in A Race
 with Time the Feature.

One of the prettiest pictures of the season is the one entitled A Race with Time. an output of the peerless Kalem company, featuring the two popular favorites, Alice Joyce and Tom Moore. It is purely love story set in the unusual setting of railroad life. It is struggle between two railroads for the government contract to carry the mails, and shows the das- tardiy means employed by one of the companies to thwart the rival line in their effort to acquire the contract thrilling railroad race occurs dur ing the plots unfolding, and Miss Joyce and Tom Moore are the easy favorites in the cast.
 The Iron Heel, a powerful Essanay, with Francis X Bushman, the famous leading man.. tells a story that is uniqueSto degree, and displays Mr. Bushman in two widely different char acters, one of the most exacting re- requirements of the piece.
 The exact date for the local pie lures has not been decided upon, but will be given due notice in the daily papers.

CAUSE OF DERAILMENT
 Az OF PORTLAND EXPRESS
Engineer EiwslI Attributes It to a X Defective Spring Frog.

Hartford. Conn. Dec. 17.-Engineer c. c. sElwell of the public utilities com mission today reported to the commits sion that the derailment of the Port land express near Milford on Nov. 16 last was due to defective spring frog. He found. upon careful examination. that a. bolt and a nut at the base of the wing rail were missing and that the base plate was broken. The miss ing parts were not visible except upon a-close esexamination.
 z Mr. EIwell says that continual jar on thelfrpg probably forced the fasten- ings loose, causing the frog to split. The fact that the base plate was broken and nut missing should have been discovered by the section fore man, seyens. though hidden says MT. Elwell. ~
 He Recommends that in addition to frequent examinations of frogs and switches on the main line, that "com- .petent Supervisors" also inspect the tracks, and that their reports be kept on Ale: He further recommends that all imperfect frogs be immediately re- spla0ed.-f
