1t was supposed that the influenza
epidemic had passed high water mark
and was waning in the state, and all
restrictions as to public meetings had
been removed. However, during the
past few days the number of new
cases appearing in the cities has
greatly increased and the schools at
Spokane were again closed Monday. 1t
is also reported that on account of an
increased number Of cases in Seattle
all public meetings and assemblies
have been prohibited in that city.
The disease is very contagious and
wherever 1t exists it Is noticeable that
there is an increase in the number
afflicted after any large gathering OF
people. 1t is a disease of the crowds
as has been so often stated, and sc
long as crowds gather in communities
where the influenza exists Just so LONG

known as the kaiser. A dispatch from
London states that French, English

Cousin Agatha rose without another
word, and walked out of the room.
Her gait and manner were fairly
sheep-like but the glance she gave
me as she went through the door had
the cold glitter of a cObra'S eye in it.
AS I closed and locked the door afeer'

you, and that when I tell you I'm at

Cousin Agatha safely in here.

promised grinaly "And-Ill help you

AS IF the nam Of her son had been

great novel of the same title, that was
thrown on the screen at the Lyceum
theater yesterday for the first time
in the city. 1t will be the picture

and tomorrow. Yesterday when big
audiences saw it, nothing but favor
able comm ent was heard.
When Sir Gilbert. Parker wrote
1.-The Judgment House" he reached
the height Of his ability. and when J.
stuart Iackton filmed the novel, and
gave it to the world in its greatest
form, q picture OF greater strength
and force than any OF it's kind was
accorded first place in the ranks. To
attempt a, description of the thrilling
scenes, the wonderful plot action, and
the artistic achievement is a task too
great for the average person, SO to
briefly state that THE Judgment
House" is a world beater will have to
suffice.
on the same bill as this big pic
turc are three of the best acts the
Yyceum has ever had. Topping the
list is THE S1rapnel Dodgers" four
men back from the Flanders front.
The men are not fakes. They can
show marks of combat one having
lost his hand, another part Of his
eyesight, and another has a deep cash
in his head inflicted by shrapneI.
They admit that they are not born
entertainers, but they successfully at
tempt to show how the soldiers spend
their time while out Of the trenches
Their act is an entertaining bit, and
went over we'll at the performances
yesterday.
On the bill are also Clarke & La
we're. a man and woman in one OF
the best team sketches ever present

edy magician with q good line of
patter. Summing up the bill the
first half Of the week, it must be
said that there is very little room
