mous Dntce case in London, was ar

British authorities. He was charged
with perjury.
Caldwell testified November 8 at
the Druce trial that he anew the late
Duke of Portland, both as a duke and
as T. C. Druce, at Welbeck Abbel,
and at the Baker street baaar. He add
ed that he had treated tht duke at both

dual life, and that he bad received
presents from the duke, aggregating
$50,000 , beaideB a fee of $200,000 for

could not rely upon the evidence of
Caldwell and the following day discov
ered that Caldwell had suddenly left

Caldwell had a somewhat similar ex
perience in this country in the case of
the late A. T. Stewart, the dry goods

retary He was. He declared that the
will had been destroyed and another
substituted and that the body had been
stolen from the graveyard and buried

Chaplain Prays That
Nebraskan Be Elected
as Next President.
GUTHH1E, Ohio., Da. 21. "William
J. Bryan today add rt wed a joint vm-
ion of tht legislature. lie was gir-
en an ovation. The chaplain of the
house was inpired by the preweiioe of
Mr. Bryan, and prayed that he would
fee tho nPHt president of the United
State. Following the prayer the house
broke into a Htorin of applause. Renkor
Murray added emphanii to the prayer
by immediately putting the qtieiticm to
the body, and every democrat present
answered with a rousing "aye."
AMUSEMENTS.
A fflir-iir.ed audience greeted the
National Htock eompany at the opera
honae loet night, when it presented
"Tenneiiee's Partner," an the oening
bill for its engagement of two nights.
The closeness to Xniue, with the Biuret
and thops all open accounted for the
size of the audience, which waa in no
way eonimenaurnte with the excellence
of the company. In fact, the National
Stock company is probably the wnt at
traction for tho money that ever ap
peared in Med ford.
Tonight the company will present
that rollicking drama made famous by
fins Herge and Ben Hendricks, "Ole
Olson," nnd The Tribune bes'-esks a
big house for a worthy attraction.
The Dance That Led to Death.
Among the miniv brilliant scenes that
the production of "The Holy City"
present none is more sensationally su-
ierb than the one in which .Salome, the i
beautiful daughter of Herndia. dances
before King H"rod and his court. Tn '
diaphanous drapery, kaleidoscopic as
butterflies' wings in rainbow rays, its
folds rising nnd falling around flnfl
above -her nimble feet like clouds ra
resHert by mumer winds, bending and
KWJiying in harmonious motion to tTie
enticing music played, the royal dancer
floats like a bubble on the palace ter-.
arch, who first offers half his kingdom,'
but finally grants the head of John the
Miiidis a rcfard for nenjuimiH de-I
,:glit, Kxqirsite tm arc the surround-!
rfg of Ts p'tiKitir.n, its dramatic inten
sity ia never lost; the conspiracy and
jb fateful ending bidden for the mo
mnt by the alluring act in g seldom
witnessf-l noa stage. I,Hdln Mo rev, es
"ciiilly engaged to play Hnlome, gives
to the difficult role that fire and in
tensitv which the character demands.

BACK FROM
GOLDFIELD
General Says Situation
Is Delicate But He
Does Not Look For Any
Trouble.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21. General
Funaton has returned from Ooldfield.
Ho reports that tho situation in the
mining camp is delicate, but does not
look for trouble as things stand at
present. He Btates that a majority of
the miners aro peaceably inclined and
the troops neutral. Mine owners have
taken a determined stund and given a
ultimatum that they will never again
employ a member of tho Western Fed
oration of Miners.
"They declare," said Funston, "that
they will operuto tho mines with bom
union laborers, andt although they have
not yet done so to amy extent, I be
lieve there will be serious trouble if
they start to import non usios miners
from the outsido.
"As to the merits of the cose, it is
not bo seay to form an opinion."
GOLDFIELD, Dec. 21. No commu
nication from the Mineowners1 a-BSticin-tion
or from the civic bodice of Gold
field has gone to the president regard
ing the removal of the federal troops.
Sheriff lagalls planB to form a larjje
body of deputy sheriffs to be in effect
much like a company of state militia.
A portion of the expense of maintain
ing this small company, however, must
fall on the mineowners, whose execu
tive committee meet this afternoon to
hear details. President Dowlen of tbo
association is still in favor of abandon
ing the mines for a yenr to starve out
tho strikers. Members of President
Roosevelt's commission left today for
Los Angeles, from whence they will
proceed' to Washington.
