The house was light, much lighter ‘than the worth of the production warranted, but was hearty in its appreciation. It is late in the day to speak of the play, or of Mr. Morrison's adaptation, but some clever lighting effects in tho famous “‘Brocken’ scene, where Faust and Mephisto summon the witches, are worthy of mention. A good Mephisto is played by Errol Dunbar, who lays a clever tongue to the blank verse and the satanic- soliloquies with which the play is so plentifully be- sprinkled.

A Stevens is dyving at the hospital raves Is held at the City Jall. This was payday for the company, which and G Palouse country. To pass ' away weary hours of travel to-day a_ poker game was started, penny ante, and nickel limit. Five men were in the game when the cars reached the local Union Depot to-night. The_ players Stever Graves, Allen, MacDonalu, the properts man, James Osborne and Charles Hughes, musicians. All had been drinking. About 8 p. m. the game broke up when Graves won a jack-pot. He accused Stevens of stealing two poker chips. This started a quarrel which Stevens applied vile epithets to Graves and the latter attempted to go to another car. Stevens grabbed a wooden stool and followed, threatening to lay Graves out. As Stevens tarew the stool Graves noticed a revolver lying in an open locker near where he was standing. He dodged the stool, seized the gun and fired. The ball from' the 38-caflber weapon entered the right groln, severing the femoral artery, ‘I'ne police were notified and Stevens was taken to the hospital in an ambu- lance. He arrived weak from blood, too far gone to talk. The physi- cians 'say his wound is surely fatal, Graves was taken into custody by the police. An informal investigation was had by the Prosecuting Attorney, who de- cided to permit the other members of the company to continue their journey to Wardner, Idaho, where the minstrels will give their next performance.

[TWO FARMERS TRADE FAMILIES Brothers in a New York Town Make Curious Deal in Households. PR L Spectal Dispatch to The Call. MIDDLETON, N. Y., March 3.—John| and EH Reddiker, brothers, living near | Cragamoor (Sam's Point), have traded | wives and families. The men are small farmers and live but a short distance apart, thelr father having divided his farm between them. John is about 25 years old and El is perhaps 32. The deal in wives and families was the result of a bantering proposition made | by John severgl months ago while he and | his wife were spending an evening at Ell's. The wives took a part in the dis- cussfon and the proposition was laughed | at as a first-class joke. The subject was | brought up again and again at subsequent | meetings of the families and every time | it was discussed the idea seemed to grow in_favor with all parties concerned. John had two chiiaren, a boy of five vears and a girl of three, and Ell had a boy about three years old. When it came | to arranging the terms for the deal, Ell insisted, since the wives were to take the | | children, he ought to have something to boot to ‘make up for assuming_the care and support of an extra child. The prop- osition seemed reasonable and after much haggiing it was arranged that John should glve him his cows. Having won out on this proposition, EH then demanded more “boot,” since his wife was several years younger and much more comely than his brother's. Mrs. John did not take .w.ndly to this demand, saying that it was a poor way to begin life together to cast reflections on her age and attractlveness, but Eli insisted .that Youth and good looks ought to count in a wife dicker as well as in a horse. trade. John offered a horse well along in years to even things up. Ell demanded a wagon as well, and when this was thrown in, the deal was made and the wives and chil: dren changed abode | SPIRIT MESSAGE FROM ROBERT G.

TACOMA, March 3—On an investment from $3000 to $4000, three Kadiak men are likely to realize a big profit on the sale of the machinery and wreckage of the steamer Tillamook, which was wrecked on the western Alaskan coast three months ago. The steamship Newport brings news from Unalaska that the wreckage was purchased for §700 by gett, Cannon & Bowers of Kadlak. At a cost of $2000 more they were able to re- cover her bollers, engines and other ma- chinery, besides some freight. and land all safely at Kadiak. This feat was made possible by favorable action of the tides, to enable wreckers to remove her machin- ery at a minimum expense. Her bouers alone are said to have cost $3500 last year. The_machinery will be sold at Kadiak or on Puget Sound. OBJECT TO READINGS Parents of Pupils at Ev-vett Wish Plain Facts to Be Taught Their Children.
