CAPACITY HOUSE VIEWS
1.-THE SPOILERS'' AT NIXON

Every seat in the Nixon opera
house was occupied last evening, the
attraction being Rex Beach's popular
novel, "The Spoilers in picture
form.
The films told the familiar story OF
how a United States District judge
and shady politician conspired to
rob the miners Of their property by
authority of law. While the play
does not SO state, it will be remember
ed that as a result of these transac-
tions Judge Arthur p. Noyes was i'm
peoched and Alexander Mackenzie
(McNamara) was convicted of fraud
and sentenced to years imprison-
ment in the Alameda California;
county Jail.
The pictures were works Of art and
gave a good conception of life and
conditions in the great Alaska gold
camp. The fight between Glenister
and McNamara was probably the nm
est exhibition of its kind ever seen
from in front of the footlights.

the railroads to charge actual mileage
TO the respective points. The change
in rate will also go into effect on the
Rock Island lines, the rate TO Chica-
go being the same as that on the Mil
waukee. AS the passenger rate in
