Another matter which tie people oi Nome should take uP as a body is the suspension, al least, of the railroad mileage tax law.

 tions that their only objest is to secure notoriety. For this req son public bodies very ofter fat

J. R. Bender, manager of the local picture show is to be con- graduated on securing for Wran- gell the great Hackett Play, The Prisoner of Zenda" which will be produced tonight at his tbeater beginning at -:3o o'clock and last ing two hours.
 The photoplay in five parts was produced by Daniel Frohman, using James Hackett in the dual role of King and Kings Cousin, also the entire original company of the famous Iackett players and 1000 people in support of the lead ing cast.
 The fact that it cost Sz5, GOO. co to produce this motion picture jus tihed the Dramatic Mirror, Nov ing Picture World, and other the atrical critics to pronounce it the greatest production eyer attempted Those who have read the book, by Anthony Hope, or have seen the play by Hackett can realize what stupenduous undertaking Mr. Frohman attempted.
 The successful hImizing of the Prisoner of Zenda marks new epoch in the motion picture world at other plays will be produced and in isolated localities 1t will be a boon.
