So she steals that the infant may have clothing. and then steals more that she and her husband may get away from the rotten tenement before the baby comes. It is in the scenes Of the exposure and the husbands mis- understanding that the acting value of the play is splendidly brought out.

 "Walker Whiteside."
 In taking on tour his remarkably effective production of The Ty- phoon," the play that has swept all Europe and such cities of America as have been privileged to see 1t, Walk CT Whiteside is realizing the ambi- tion of his long and highly interest ing career, For several years he has sought play of the distinctly differ ent' order, and when this work of a Hungarian dramatist fell into his hands about year ago, MT White side decided to take the risk of it's production upon himself, and give it to the stage after the manner of his own ideas.

Persecution Of Settlers.

Plerre.-A number Of residents OF
western Stanley county have been Wis.
tied by a special agent of the govern
ment the past week who is sent out
by the general land department TO in
vestikate the claims that settlers are
being prosecuted by special land
agents who are looking up violations
of the land laws. Mr.. Lang, the rep
resentatlve from the department had
nothing TO say in regard to the situa-
ton on his return to this city from his
western trip, but men who were out
with him report that they took him to
q different settlers who have all
along resided upon their claims. and
who have put on hundreds of ola
of Improvements upon their lands, yet
each of these men has been notified
that his proof has been protested, but
none of them have been able to secure
any information as to who made the
complaints, or the grounds on which
the protest was made. 1t was this sit
uation which called out the resolution
in the last legislative session, asking
for just such an investigation Of the
situation from the department as Is
being made at the present time, and
such settlers have a hope that some
thing will result from the work Of the
agent Of the department.
