GRAND OPERA IN CHICAGO.

After the severe disappointment of
having their regular grand opera sea
son called off on account of the Eu-
ropean war situation, Chicago music
lovers were delighted with the recent
announcement that the Century Opera
company will visit the Chicago Audi
forum for the week beginning Nov.
%. The Century series will be the
only grand opera to be heard in Chi
cago this season. The Century or
ganizat:on was formed last year by
the same group of wealthy patrons of
art, who have been for many years the
hackers of the Metropolitan Opera
company in New York. 1t was or
ganized with the idea OF giving all of
the larger cities of America an annual
season of grand opera at regular the
atre prices. The chorus, ballet and or
chestra are of the same size and eff
ficiency as in the organizations pre-
senting grand opera at five and six
dollars a seat, and The only reason
that this company can afford to give
performances of the same high stand
ard at two dollars is that their prin-
cipal singers are all young, but exper-
fenced artists, who are making their

WATSfkA, ILLINOIS, FAME
Hunting Story Ar0uses Reminiscent
Mood of PliIlstine.

Editor, Times:
Noting in the last issue of your pa
per the photographed account of
truly wonderful hunting adventures in
this part of Idaho by citizens of the
above named hamlet, the writer is at
once and forcibly reminded of the last
previous occasion upon which that
particular sucker city was brought to
his attention:
1t was toward the close of the sec
ond year Of the Civil War, when draft
ing was about to be resorted to, for
thepurpose of filing the depleted ranks
of the Union armies that prominent
citizen of Watseka, Illinois, publicly
put himself on record to the effect
that he would not go to war if he
was drafted; he'd hire a prostitute
first"
These modern Watseka nimrods
evidently have as fertile imaginations
and as versatile use Of the English
language as their forbears of 1862.
Respectfully yours,
PHII,LISTINE.

SYNOPSIS

Zudora is left an orphan at an early
age Her father is killed in gold
mine he has discovered. Half an hour
after hearing Of the death of her hus-
band, Zudora's mother--a tight rope
walker with a circus--is seized with a
vertigo, falls and is killed.
Ludora and the fol tune from the
mine, which grows to be worth 500
100000, are let in the guardianship OF
FRANK keene, circus man, Zudoras
mothers brother. Zudora giving pro-
mise OF great beauty, reaches the age
OF IL. The uncle, who has set himself
up as Hindu mystic and is known
as Hassam Ali, decides in his greed
that ZudOra must die before she can
have chance to come into possession
OF her money, SO that it may be left to
him, the next of kin, and he prevails
upon her to leave her money in his
hands three years longer and sag
nothing to anyone about the fortune
Hassani Ali sees an obstacle to his
scheme in the person of John Storm,
young lawyer, for whom Zudora has
taken a fancy, and he commands the
girl to put the man out of her mind
Storm comes to ask Hassam Ali for
the hand of his niece. At first the
crystal gazer will not listen to the pro-
posal, but Zudora insists that if she
cannot marry Storm she will marry
no one.
We'll, we'll" says Hassam Ali, "if
you take such stand, I'll compro-
mise. Solve the next twenty cases and
you can marry him; fall in single
case and you must renounce him."
Zudora using the knowledge gained
from years of association with her
uncle, unravels battling mystery and
wins her first Casa case In which
John Storm Is saved from being con-
victed of a murder instigated by Has
sam Ali himself

PORTLAND MARKET REPORT.

Portland, Dec Is, 1914.
Receipts for the week have been !:
cattle, 372; calves, 8; hogs, 1862;
sheep, 3200
Cattle.
The quality of cattle offerings have
been good during the week, the qutn-
tity however, has not come forward.
Steers sold at $3.50, cows $6.25, and
heifers $3.50. Demand is good and
trading keen
Hogs.
Hog receipts this week have been
lighter than usual, this with good de-
mand has brought the price up TO
$3.50 for tops, the highest price in the
United States at the present time.
Eastern markets in some cases forty
to fifty-five cents under the Portland
market.
Sheep.
Sheep prices were fully as strong
this week as other lines of livestock.
Good grain fed lambs would no doubt
bring considerably more than the pre-
sent top Of $7.35, ewes and wethers
going at strong prices

IhlnSs fell out as Hassam Ali pre-
dicted; only, he had not expected John
storm in the cheese shop. At the cry
Of lire, Storm ran out with the others
and accidently dropped his purchase.
Hassam Ali saw the package fall, and
instead of entering the shop he ran
to the package and picked it up, on the
principle that anything belonging to
John Storm might eventually prove
useful. He thrust it into his pocket
ana started back to make his investi-
cations, but it was now too late. The
cheese maker, seeing no signs of fire
anywhere, had returned to his shop.
SO Hassam Ali made his way back to
the diamond cutters. When he open
ed the package he swore and flung 1t
from him savagely. Then he picked
1t up and broke it. 1t was a good
cheese, and it would be shameful to
waste it.
Look" he cried suddenly. From
the cheese he plucked small dia-
mond
Il knew it" exclaimed the unhappy
diamond cutter. It's Altman, after
all"
Meantime Storm, having lost his
cheese in the small riot and learning
that the cry had been practical Joke,
or the clever scheme of petty thief,
Storm returned to the shop somewhat
ruffled in spirit, to purchase another
cheese. He had scarcely taken it into
ush
followed by two policemen, came
rushing in the shop and demanded
the arrest of everyone-that is to say,
Storm, the cheese maker and his wife.
They did not take his daughter, who
remained behind weeping.
Storm was permitted to telephone
Zudora.
|, What is the matter?" she demand
ed
1T seems that I've been arrested as
an accomplice of Altman, the cheese
maker, on the charge of stealing dia-
monds from diamond cutter living
next door The diamonds were found
in a cheese ] bought AS matter
OF fact, think it's a practical joke of
some sort. You know where Altmann's
is. Nothing serious can possibly come
or 1t, but I'll have to do lot of buy
ing when / leave the police station.
The laugh is one me somewhere"
III have you out before midnight"
she declared.
But she nearly lost her life in the
furnace room. The diamond cutter
ran amuck when he saw her enter the
furnace room and he flew at her like
an enraged tiger. She eluded him and
picked up hammer with which to
| defend herself. The hammer was
nothing to the mailman. He reached
out to clutch her, when he gave a
weird cry, stumbled, and fell head
long into the furnace mouth His
heart had given out
! And so Hassam Ali would never be
able to add diamonds to his pyramids
of shining gold
| But the death of the diamond cut
| ter complicated matters, and despite
the protestations of the victims they
were held
When the truth did come out finally
the whole city laughed quietly. Zu-
dora discovered the thieves-a pair OF
bright eyed mice, who had decided tic
go house BUILDING with diamonds as &
corner stone!
