ALEXANBER
Merit m& Glass
"Alexander and company" will be
the attraction at the Opera House
for one day, April the 7 th. -
- For the benefit of those who have
not heard of Alexander on the coast
where he last year scored the great
est triumph ever scored by any road
attraction In this part of the United
States, let it be stated that Alexander
is the only recognised magician in
the American theatre today.. Since
the passing of the Great Thruston
there has been only one man who
has held the distinction ot being
the foremost exponent of the black
art, crystal reading and Simla Seance.
One year ago Alexander played tor
four weeks In the Helig theatre Port
land. Alhambra theatre Seattle and
the Auditorium theatre Spokane. This
year he has been persuaded to break
the jump to the larger cities of the
north by playing a split week in
Medford and Eugene.
- Alexander has spent most of his
life la the Orient where he has
studied the black art among the an
cient Hindu and Arab. He has mas
tered all the magic as offered by
the one peer of magicians, Herman
the Great and the Great Thruston.
While these King regents of their
age were heralded as the greatest
brain marvels In the world, Alexan
der the peer ot magicians, and White
Mathama ot the twentieth century,
offers an attraction so Intlrely new
and unusual albeit mystifying and
awe-inspiring that the most learned
professors and business geniuses ot
the day hare pronounced this exhi
bition of the uncanny an occult phe
nomena. The areater Part ot the last half
of the show la the Simla Seance and
in this Seance. Alexander presents
himself as he is known and worship
ed in the east, the White Mathama,
(crystal seer). He answers ques
tions, written and seated, gives the
name of the writer and tells them
more than they themseKes know
about their lives and many things
that they thought no living man or
woman could know.
The performance la " further en
hanced by oriental girls who offer
the dances of the Orient and the
dances of the religious rites of Asia
Minor. This novelty Is presented m
the Oriental stage setting Interpreted
from the original settings In the pal
ace ot black art In Bombay.
The attraction Is the highest class
attraction of its kind that has ever
been offered In theatre in the
United States,
THE SIMLA SEANCE
Alexander is the originator of the Simla Seance,
a performance that is the most mystifying and
awe-inspiring that has ever been offered on an
American stage. The most learned men in the
country have pronounced this feature an occult
phenomenon.

at Opera House.
THE MAN WHO KNOWS
Just what Alexander, billed as the man who
knows, does know regarding the intimate
life and affairs of the general public, can be
realized when the statement is made and
statistics shown that night after night dur
ing his performance in the larger cities
where he plays f6rv weeks at a time,1 the
same people come back again and again to
witness the performance and ask questions
pertaining to their personal affairs.

Further enhancing the perform
ance of Alexander at Ibe Opera
house tor Saturday. April Tth, Is
the artistic and oriental dancing
of Dell iMartel, queen of lionitay
and her Jjoiipe of oriental danc
ers. '
The Alexsnder attraction Is
something far out of the ordinary
In the line of magic and black
art exhibition. Aa this attraction
haa never before been secured for
exhibition in Grants Hiss a little
advance matter on this attraction
Is necessary.
Alexander played an engage
ment on the Pacific coast last year
securing such a triumph In the
Hell theatre of Portland and Al
hambra theatre. of Seattle that
these cities have booked Alexsn
der for a month's engagement in
each theatre for a return engage
ment this year. ,
Alexander comes to the open
house direct from the MarDon
ough theatre In Oakland where
he has played a two weeks' en
gsgement and the Clunle theatre
of Sacramento where the attrac
tion played for one week to ra
pacity houses.
The performance is divided In
to two parts. The first part being
a series ot the moat mystifying
and astounding feats of msglr
ever presented uKn an American
stage.
The second part of the perform
ance st led the Simla Seance la
without question the moat marve
lous and awe-lnsplring act that
has ever been conceived for Ibe
stage. Any person who doea not
leave the theaVre after a perform
ance of Alexander thoroughly
mystiried and puxaled surely Is
gilt edged pessimist and skeptic.

Army recruiting based on selec
tive conscription of the country's
young men as rapidly as they can
be equipped, officered and trained, Is
considered prdbahly the most Import
ant of the war plans.
All men except those exempted
such as married men, mechanical ex
perts, scientists will 'be expected to
come under the colors. .
The government will have some
designation a button probably
which will bo given to those exempt
ed and otherwise serving the conn.
try. but who are not under training.
This Is the same scheme followed
by England to protect those not
actually In the army from being
dubbed "slackers."
. Under the three-year basis plan. It
is the Intention of the government
to train men In Increments of 600,
000 until there are sufficient num
bers to beat Germany. No men will
be sent to Europe Immediately;
prrthahly none will go for at least
six months. The present regulars
believe they would ;bs the flrst ex
peditionary force to go, leaving the
newly trained men as a home guard
until the second Increment or 600,
000 men Is trained.
The maximum and minimum age
ot men at first la expected to be 18

Pending the raising of America's
army, this government la making
preparations to stoip unlimited sup
plies to the allies Including not

officers Is creating effective means
ot combatting the TJ boat. Naval

, Chicago, April 4. In one of the
most turbulent elections In recent
years, non-partisans turned the po
litical machines topsy-turvy here
yesterday and administered a re
sounding rebuke to Mayor Thompson
and the republican city hall forces.
Besides electing the city clerk and
city treasurer, the democrats won 22
seats In the city council. The social
ists elected two and the republicans
the remaining twelve. Other ma
chines also went Into the ditch. In
the river wards, where fights culmin
ated In the murder of a Grogan
worker, Independent democrats elect
ed their, candidate. . Bloodshed and
arrests were common occurrences
along the levee throughout the day.
Today Is a gala day for the demo
crats. Two years ago Thompson was
elected as mayor by 147,000 plural
ity and the republicans carried Into
office 23 aldermen. Yesterday's re
sults Indicate a complete reversal. '
To a socialist goes the honor of
piling up the highest plurality of an
aldermanlc candidate. John C. Ken
nedy, running for re-election, rolled
up more votes than his three op
ponents combined. His majority was
8,157.
