JANE BARTLETT IN
 THE TONGUES OF MEN,

At the Empress theatre Thursday Jane Bartlett will appear in the sparkling drama of "The Tongues of Men," a tale of love and duty, of the pulpit and the stage. In a sermon on the evils of the theatre Rev. Dr. Pen field Sturgis, rector of fashionable London church, refers directly to the grand opera "Zaporah," of which Jane Bartlett is the star. The mayor closes up the show on the strength of the sermon and the actress determines to make the pastor eat his words. He finds that she is supporting num- Der of the poor and is quietly doing a lot of good with the money derived from the plays. He repents and in public statement retracts his sermon. His congregation rises in arms and to rectify his mistake he offers to marry the actress. She accepts him in order to carry out her point. The story takes an unexpected turn at this point and is full of interest. Special music has been written for this play. Watch the paper for list of the big specials coming to the Empress.

BLIND PIGGER'S $4,5OO
 CACHE OF WHISKEY STOLEN

HOQUIAM: To have property for which he paid $4,500 stolen and not dare report his loss to officials is the exasperating experience of Hoquiam bootlegger, who a couple of months ago paid $5 a quart for 800 quarts of a good grade of whisky and cached 1t in the woods about fifteen miles fromHoquiam. A few days ago he went to draw on his supply to i'll some orders at $10 quart-the price he had set on the booze-and made the sad discovery that somebody had beaten him to 1t and carried away the whole 800 quarts. Onicers learned of the theft from some one to whom the ksggrieved bootlegger told his loss. Al he is out about $s.000 figuring the S5 . bottle profit he expected to make the oficers may not prosecute him for bringing 1t into the state.
