Through the inability of the Wells Fargo company to deliver the ship ment of films so that the proper connections could be made Manager A. R. Cavaness of the Plaza failed to receive his consignment of films depicting the eruption of Mount Lassen, and in consequence of the non arrival of the pictures was un- able to fulfill his promise to the public yesterday.

 Hundreds of people turned away from the theater yesterday disap pointed on account of the non ar rival of the films.

emn warning to every Maynard boy

II am paying the l.rice of a bad
reputation. I had the best parents

wrong way"
The condemned man was refer

ton. While developing his evil
character he for a time still may
have a fair or eve guod reputa-
ton. It's a mars character that
either aids him to success or furn-
ishes the weakness making him vul.
nerabla to temptation.
But the wayward boys fail to
heed even such warnings. Their
departure from the path fenced in
by law is not always immediate.
They f1irt with temptation, while
they indulge appetite and passion.
Then comes the day when sud-
denly their weakened mpa tally and
physical desires become the allies
of temptation, and in one moment
is committed the deed which brings
over their lives y pail of crime, dis
grace and vain regret.

BARRIERS VS.. BARlENDERS

There was quite a crowd at the
ball park yesterday afternoon tu
see the game between the BARRIERS
and the b~artenders. The game was
so one-sided that after the 18th in

got very cold and they gave up the
contest. In four innings they sue
ceeded in getting only two men
across the homo plate, while the
BARRIERS in three rounds at the bat
had 20 tallies to their credit. If
the game had run to the full nine
innings, the BARRIERS would probably
had close to a hundred tallies to
their credit.
Next Sunday nine of the fat men
of the town will meet the BARRIERS
at the bat. This ought to be an

sALUIIAG The FLAG

A flag salute as a form of re-
dress for an injury or slight to ma
tional honor is not a new thing in
American history. This country
has itself on several occasions So
luted the flag of other countries on
demand. The Springfield Republi-
can recalls that in 1884 our navy
Mas required by order Of President
Lincoln to give a national salute
in honor of Brazil. The American
navy had captured a Confederate
cruiser in Brazilian waters and as
an apology for this violation of
Brazilian sovereignty the govern
ment of Brazil demanded a salute
and received it. Also in 1855 a
national salute was given the
French IN account of a violation::uf
the treaty rights of the French
Consul in San Francisco. In some
respects the difficulty in Tampico
was similar to that in Valparaiso.
Chile, in 1891, but the Valparaiso
trouble was a more serious offense
while the ultimate consequences
were not SO great as the Tampico
difficulty is likely to be. In Vel
pariso certain sailors of the United
States cruiser Baltimore, on the
shore leave, engaged in a fight with
Chileans in a red light saloon and
the whole town became embroiled.
Endeavoring to return 20 their
ships the sailors were roughly hand
led by a mob, several were injured
and one or two killed. The United
State did not demand a national sa-
lutte OF the flag III recompense for
this offense, but after a year or two
Of negotiations the Chilean govern
ment made suitable apologies and
paid an indemnity of SIS, 900 for
the relief of the families of the
sailors who had been killed.-Ana-

BOUND AND GAGGED
BY TWO BURGLARS

from st~rangulation last night when
two men, whom he describes as
large and dressed in dark clothes
attacked him as he was retiring at

The men were undoubtedly sec
reted in the house when Wristen
began to disrobe and probably fear
ing interruption in their work or
that an alarm would be given were
Wristen allowed his freedom, they
siezed him, bound his legs and
arms, gagged him with a handker-
chief that was reeking with filth
and threw him under a table. NJ RS.

moment and realizing at once that
something was wrong, entered
Wristen's roo and found him al

men had disappeared.
Wrlsten's vague description of
the men was not of much assistance
to the authorities, who Immediately
began a search for the burglars, so
there is not much hope that they
will be apprchended. Nothing SO
far as known was taken from the
