ESSENTIAL PROVIDED Good Music, . Individual and Chorus; . ... . . Stage and All Thing Good. With a smoothness of professional ism, a jingle and rythm that smacked of Broadway and Geo. Cohen, some half-hundred La Grande people last evening presented H. L. Brown's com ic opera, "The Elk's Tooth" at the Arcade theatre under direction of the composer and auspices of local Elks." Every iota of detail that makes up a real road comic opera was at all times evident and in costumes, stage set tings, prima donna and comedian de tails, the parts were well carried. For j the most part the principals were local men and women of stage experience and they showed it Recruits in the ( business were equally up to standard however, and it is safe to say that no local musical production has ever been staged here that sparkled with as much keen comedy, good chorus work, excellent costumes and scen ery. ' " "The Elk's Tooth'' is brim full of catchy songs and the plot' is just heavy enough to keep interest going.

Y., Oct. 7.-The Sulzer impeachment court in executive ses. sion today, -voted one to 14 to overrule ! Chief Justice Cullen's decision that Allen Rvan's testimony before the court yesterday was inadmissable. The vote indicated an overwhelming anti Sulzer sentiment. The outlook for Sulzer is considered dark. The testimony referred to was in troduced by the prosecution to show that Sulzer attempted to involve Root and Barnes in the Albany affair. Ryan's Evidence Damaging. Ryan recalled" and considerably am plified the story told yesterday. Not only, he said did Sulzer try to influ ence the republican senators through Root and Barnes but he wanted Ry an to have Delancy Nicols see tho I "Boss" and urge that he persuade him to have the impeachment called off. The method the governor suggested I Ryan explained, was that the senate; vote that the lower house had exceed- ed Its authority in impeaching him.
