once on the top rung of the theatrlca'
ladder and afterward tho wife ol
Lord Krancls Hope, and possessor ol
tho famous Hope estate, tho hero ol
a sensational elopement with Captain
Bradley Strong, tonight will play at
a little west side "ten, twenty, thirty"
show houso. She just arrived In Chl
cag from the west. She has been
living in Seattle and San Francisco
recently.
Miss Yoho Is not disheartened, as
she has metamorphosed Into a phil
osopher. Perched on a kitchen chair, Sur
rounded only by barren walls of the
stage dressing room, she conversed
gaily and laughed over tho life she
says sho "bungled."
"I am now a fallen Cleopatra,"
said she.
"My life history is very simple to
understand. My first mistake was
in running away from Lord Hope.
Then I erred again, once, twice, three
times a regular comedy of errors, as
it woio. All I have loft is a tired
feeling that does not forsake mo
even when I er act or sleep; and
this beautiful volume of red-Inked
clippins from various public prints."

ATWOOD PLEADS
FOR LOWER RATES
WASHINGTON, L. C. Jan. 18.
Arguing that the railroads power of
'eminent domain" would operate as
a bar to increased rates;, John 11.
Atwood, attorney for the western
.shippers' committee, argued today
oefore the interstate commission
against the proposed advance.
Atwood based his contention on
the ruling of the supreme court oL
ihe United States case of Wilcox
against the Consolidated Gas com
pany of New York, in which it held
that it "concurred with the lower
.ourt that the status of the property
will bo determined when the iiupiiry
was made regarding rates. If the
property legally entering into the
consideration of the rates increased
in value since it was ncipiircd, tho
company way entitled to the .benefits
of such increase."
Atwood argued the converse of the
proposition. The railroads, he said,
could not make the claim as lite
gas company had done, because they
were clothed with the power of "em
inent domain'' with the gas company
was not. He contended that the in
vestor in railroad stocks knew when
bo invested that the railroad could
secure property much cheaper by ex
ercising ito right of "eminent do
main" und therefore lightly ex
pected only a fair return for his. in

Although small hopes are enteralned
that the real causo of the boiler ex
plosion which killed eight men on
tho battleship Delawnro yesterday
will over bo definitely ascertained,
tho navy department today began or
ganization of a special board of In
quiry to mono Into tho disaster. It!
probably will ronslst of engineers
from tho Norfolk nnvy yard and from
the battleships Delaware, South Caro
lina and Michigan.
In tho effort to fix responsibility
for the accident Captain Govo of tho
Delaware has already appointed a
board on his ship, but tho officers
aro freely quoted as saying that so
far no cause for the explosion has
been ascertained.
As tho Delaware had twelvo boil
ers, there is no belief that the disas
ter will Interfere with her dctnil to
take the body of Minister Cruse back
to Chile. Unless tho navy depart
ment countermands former ordors
tho Delaware, with tho body aboard,
will start for Valparaiso January 31.

The De ath of
THE OWNER
MJUt
Enables us to offer what we honestly believe is tbe best
bargain in a producing orchard in the valley. There are
35 acres in the tract and it is only a mile from a shipping,
station. &
There are about 11 acres in apples, Ben Davis, AVincsaps,
Spitzenbergs, Newtowns. Trees are about UO years old.
They are in good condition and produce heavily.
There are also about 12 acres in standard varieties of
peaches, in full bearing. About 8000 crates of peaches
were shipped from this orchard last year.
There are also 8 acres planted to Newtown apples, which
were three years old this winter.
The balance of the land is cleared and was in grain last
year.
The buildings consist of a house, barn and packing
house.
We think treasonable estimate of the crop on this place
this coming year would be 3000 to 4000 boxes of apples and
6000 to 8000 crates of peaches.
A team of horses and a full equipment of machinery goes
wtih the place.
The price is $15,000, a trifle more than $100 an acre. The
terms asked are half cash, balance easy. If you cannot
meet these terms as to the cash required, make us an offer.
