GLASS BLOWERS IN DISFAVOR.
Accused of Buncoing and Short
changing a Saloon.
By order of Marshal Gurdane, the
glass blowing attraction operating in
the Matlock-Brownfleld building yes
terday, was forced to close shop and
dispense with any further business in
this city. During the afternoon yes
terday complaint was made to the
marshal by one of the patrons of the
place. He alleged that he had not
been treated fnlrly after he had spent
several dollars bucking a lottery
counter, and after Investigating his
story the marshal took the same view
of the case. ,
But aside from the above there are
other and more serious charges
against the glassblowers. One of
the crowd Is said to have been work
ing a Bhort change game since his
arrival here. Day before yesterday
he was In the Exchange saloon and
while there succeeded In buncoing
Jesse Shull out of 35 by the short
change method. However, the fel
low had no sooner left than the trick
was discovered by the proprietor, and
with the aid of Sheriff Taylor, Mr.
Shull then took after the Bwlndler.
He was soon found In another saloon,
and when Mr. Shull demanded his $6
back the money was produced with
out a murmur.
In view of this Incident and of
other accusations that have been
made against the men in the blowing
troupe, the police do not regard the
crowd with favor. "

It Is now highly probable that un
less a new theater Is provided for
this city suddenly or the present one
remodeled by its owners the city
government wll take a hand in tne
matter to the extent 01 requu.i.B
better fire protection at the Tazer.
Tn aarertaln the sentiment of city
officials regarding the present state
of affairs, the mayor, fire chief, fire
committee chairman ana otnera
were seen today. In general it may
be said that the feeling was found
verv adverse to present conditions.
Fire Chief John Vaugnn, wno. Dy
virtue of his office is also head of
the board of fire wardens, has been
taking an especial interest in the
subject, and he Is strong In de
nouncing: the Frazer as a fire trap.
"I have been intending to take the
..,. un for a long- time," saia ne.
"and now seems to be the time to de
mand miv chances needed. At pres.
ent the gallery Is the most dangerous
place, and It is the worst fire trap on
earth. Should a fire occur with the
gallery crowded the people could not
possibly get out In time. They
would be shovsd over the gallery
railing onto th. people below. The
arrangement of the stage and drop
curtains is such that should a flro
break out there would not be flva
minute, before It would sweep across
the entire plnce. Furthermore, there.
Is considerable danger of fire from
color lights, electric wires Becoming
crossed, etc. A. fire proof electric
switch l hadlv needed, ana mere
should nlso be a fireproof asbestos
curtiiln to drop In the. event or a
fire, so ns to prevent the names irom
sweeping Into the auditorium.
According to the tire cniei ne
had In mind before this to demand
that a stairway bo constructed on the
wet side of the gallery, so as to pro
vidf an escape from that side In the
..nf nf a fire. However, he fears
thai such a change would be a dlffl
enlt one to make, and la inclined to
believe that the only way to make
the theater safe would be to com
r.int,.iv remodel the place, or else
erect a new one.
At present there Is no especial or
dinance governing tneaiers ana me
(ptutc srnvernlng such buildings is
the irenernl fire ordinance. How
ever, nn ordinance can dc passea at
any time thnt will apply to buildings
nw in use. and Judging from the
enttment of the concllmen the aa
ministration will stand behind he
fire chief in any suggestions he may
make. As a result there is a strong
possibility thnt a theater ordinance
ivin soon take rank with charter
ehannen, hitching grounds and
Carnegie library ns live topics before
the city fathers.
Tollman Funeral Tills Afternoon
The funeral service over the re
mains of the late Alfred Tellman will

Cohen replied; '
"Just while you are asking we live
In the best part of the country. You
can travel a long ways and not find
anything tetter than eastern Ore

the south la that the people there live
In a country where nature has been
so good to them that they do not
have to exert themselves enough."

Ne Matter What Color.
The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something If the bead is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair, It Is
now known, Is caused by a parasite that
burrows Into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where It saps tbe vitality. The lit
tle white scales the germ throws up In
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently, then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbro's Herpldde. an entirely new re
sult of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling ba1r, and prevents baldness.
