Erwin's s Friends
 Worry About Him

Some apprehension is being arous- ed on the part of the friends of Marshall l.. T. Erwin concerning his welfare, for no news has been re ceived from tim for more than three weeks. When last heard from MT. Erwin was in the Battle Creek, Michigan, Sanitarium, evidently quite sick.
 J. Elmer Clark, chief deputy mar shal who has charge of MT. Erwin's office during his absence, sent a telegram Friday to the latter, but has failed to receive reply to it.. The telegram was of an official na- ture, and if MT. Erwin is able to do so it is believed that he would have replied to it promptly.
 Until three weeks ago, MT. Er- win kept in touch with his office, by wire, though his last letter was written in November. The last telegram from him announced the fact tuat ne had gone to the sanitarium for medical treatment.

"The Vampire Dance"
 Seen at Opheum

Thrilling and fascinating" These gre among the adjectives used by those who saw the picture, in de scription of The Vampire Dance, , the three reel kalem feature which was shown to two crowded houses at the Orpheum theatre last night. The picture is to be shown again tonight, and owing to the fact that great number of movie" enthus- lasts failed to see it last night on account of other attractions, two more crowded houses are expected. The usual two shows will be given, starting at 8 o'clock, the price of ad- mission being 25 cents.
 "Ti e Vampire Dance' has met with much popularity wherever 1t has been shown. The story itself is one of a powerful nature, tell ing as it does how a youthful artist is lured to his death by a vampire in the disguise of a wood nymph.
 Bert French and Allie Els, two well known Kalem stars, are in the cast of the play. Harry Maillarde, Marguerite Courtot and Alice Hol- lister are also seen in action.

 The Hohenzollerns take their name from castle which stood upon the hill of Zollern. near HeChingen, on the borders of the Black Forest Of course. the counts of Hohenzollern claimed ilustrious ancestry, tracing Y cir descent from the Colonna fam fly of Rome, but it is nevertheless. true that during the first six hun dred years of their known history they lived in comparative obscurity.
 The counts of Hohenzollern were not idline away the hours in thei. lofty castle. however; they were steadily adding to their wealth and taking away the possessions of the 1eighboring robber barons.

 Taken during the last Balkan war this picture shows some of the de tails Of actual warfare. In fact, it is as advertised in every respect, and there are no fake scenes what ever.

 Proves Unusual

When few days ago the ther- mometer took a drop until it reach ed a point nearly 30 degrees below zero, numerous old timers could be
 card to remark:
 Now We are in for good spell of old-fashioned winter weather such as we enjoyed in the winter of '98,'' or some other equally we'll known season Now, however, they see that their prOgnostications were all for taught, as the reverse has happened and the thermometer registered but Jery few degrees below freezing last night.
 It is now nearly certain. that, wher the snow has melted off the hills in June the Panama valley will have passed through a winter sea- son with the thermometer standing 1t all times higher than 35 degrees below zero. From the middle of December until the middle of Jan uary the coldest weather is usually experienced and now that the cold season is past and the sun is making tself felt more every day it is ;ard,y probable that more than the lsual seasons weather of but a few degrees below zero will be exper- fenced before another winter rolls around.
 True, it is pointed out, that h. terior Alaska has experienced some so-called 50 and 60 below zero wealth CT during the months of March and February but the weather records kept by local business houses show nat those seasons were exceptional ones in every respect.
