The new edition of "The Alaskan" will be the strong attraction at the North Theatre next Thursday June 2. The company comes direct from Chicago where the new "Alaskan" had a most phenomeual live montlm' engagement, and was proclaimed by the entire Chi cago press in its new revised shape, to be amongst the best things in the musical comedy line seen there in years. Man ager William P. Cullen, who now con trols "The Alaskan1' has been exception ally liberal in giving the present produc tion a sumptuous mounting and the cos tuming is very elaborate. It is expected that the novel "snowballing" feature will prove as big a sensation here as it has elsewhere. The now famous train of Esquimo dogs is still a prominent factor. Tuesday morning J. S. Haney received a letter from Congressman Latta saying five hundred and twenty feet of pontoon bridge would be available for use as a temporary bridge across the Flatte south of this city, until the new struc ture was completed. Mr. Haney took the matter up with the Commercial club and was instructed to wire an acceptance of the tender. While the bridge offered will not span the entire river, it will he ample to span the deep portion and make a good crossing. The bridge will be shipped in the near future and placed in position, and this will give a good cross ing until the work on the permanent structure is completed. Something entirely new in the musical comedy line will surely prove an innova tion to our local amusement seekers. "The Alaskan" is promised as that and even more. The new and novel "Snow balling" number in which the entire audience is allowed to pelt the Esquimo girls with fluffy missiles which are exact replicas of snowballs, is very exciting. "The Alaskan" comes to the North Theatre next Thursday for one night on ly. Seat sale opens Monday, prices 50. 75,81.00 $1.50. This year the dates for the Columbus races are much earlier than usual, being this month. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, June 21, 22 and 23.

V. lirecht Butchers Supply company of St. Louis, committed suicide by cutting his throat. Hinzlie arrived in this city Sunday on bis regu lar trip and registered at the Meridian hotel, as usual. On going to bed he left a call for seven o'clock, but when clerk Kellock went to awaken him Mon day morning, he received no response and found the door locked. Entrance to the room was then gained over the transom, and it was then the suicide was discovered. It seems that Hinzlie must have taken his lire shortly after be went to his room, as bis body was cold when discovered, and be had all his clothes on. Hinzlie was well known in this city, as he called on quite a number of the business men, and his rash act caus ed surprise to his acquaintances. His borne is in Dubuque, Iowa, where he has a family of grown children, ho being a man over Gfty years of age. When his body was discovered clerk Kellock noti Ged undertaker Uerrick, who took charge of the body until the arrival of coroner Gass. An inquest was held Monday morning, the jury composed of W. L. Boettcher, Tony ltothleitner, G. Launer, Steve Hogan, E. II. Stanley and Oarl Schubert, returned n verdict of suicide. The knives used to kill himself with were taken from his sample case and were about one foot in length with an inch and a half blade. Coroner Gass telegraphed both his family and the house he was employed with, and the body was sent to his home in Dubuque for burial. THE BEST is alone good enough for our custo mers.

All the witnesses from this city teatiGed last Saturday and Monday of this week, their testimony bearing on the time Dr. and Mrs. Doxey were in this city. Following are the latest developments in the case, a num ber of the events spoken of occuring in this city: The most damaging evidence yet in troduced against Mrs. Dora E. Doxey, accused of the murder of William J. Erder. was presented today. Firt an attorney testified that the woman had predicted the death of a relative in a letter and sought to hive certain indebt edness held up pending the settlement of his estate. Then the pastor of the church to which the Doxeys belonged in Columbus, told of their straightened circumstances and just before adjourn ment tonight Mrs. Katherine Erder, mo ther of the dead man, corroborated the testimony of her daughter, Mf,a Kate Erder, who is regarded as Mrs Doxey's nemesis. The lawyer was O. II . Miller, the last out-of-town witness against the accused woman. Mrs. Doxey lift ed her eyebrows as if in surprise when the letters were nail. Her lawyer ex plained that she wns under the inllnence of morphine and irresponsible when she wrote them. Miller also testified to a conversation he had with Mrs. Doxey April 15, in which she told him of a man whose life was insured in her favor, hut before her alleged marriage to Erder. Three days before her mnrringe, to Erder, Mrs. Doxoy wrote to Miller to address her letters to Mrs. William .1 . Erder. Miller said Mrs. Doxoy told him her cousin had married Erder. Tuc defendant appeared much re freshed after her day of rest yesterday. The announcement was mude by the woman's attorneys that unuodylate of sodium, with which she is aliened to havo poisoned Erder, has been fcd to a dog for three week?, without deleterious effect. Throughout the day ther was the largest crowd that has attended the trial since it began . When court open ed at HiHi o'clock deputy sheriffo had difficulty in keeping order The corri dors were thronged by people apparent ly anticipating sensational developments nnd auxious to gain points of vantngo in the court room. The defendant's attorneys says the. ex perts who conducted the experiment with cacodylate of ttoda on a dog u ill testify that the animul, far from being dead, is fat, healthy nntl very much alive and that the drug which it is charged caused Hnler's death, is not destructive to human life. The animal is said to have eaten KM) grains of tlm drug. Mrs. Doxey, during her trial, is wear ing two wedding rings, those of Dr. Doxey and Erder. C. II. Miller, a lawyer of Des Moines, la., testiGed he received n letter dated June 14, less than a month before Erder died, from Mrs. Doxey, asking for a loan of $20. Slit: wrote him she was to get the insurance of a man who "is almost dead." The letter to Miller, which was introduced in evidence, reads in parts: "I am still sick but I hav word from St. Louis that the man of whom I spoke to ou is nliuost dead. You know I will get 2,.r(N, or maylte more, as foou mh his insurance is Gxetl up. I'll get something also from his estate when tlm things aro sold. Even if you have to borrow the money, get it. Von will get it hack all right, and you will not have to wait more than two weeks." The Grst part of the letter was written by Dr. Doxey. He offered to givo a note for money advanced to him. He closed his part of the letter with the fol lowing: "My wife will write on a fw lines." Attorneys of the state said they do not fear the defense's plan of exhibiting a dog fed on cacodylate of sodn. They cited that strychnine is u tonic anil at the same time poisonous The letter that Mrs. Doxey wrote to Erder's sister from Columbus, Neb., urging her to have pity because of "Will's unborn child." was admitted as evidence. In the croea-exnminatiou of Attorney Miller he wtw asked if he did not know Mrs. Doxey was a morphine Genii, und not "at" herself when she wrote letters to him. He said he did not know that. The Itev. S. D. Harkness pastor of the Presbyterian church at Columbus, Neb., which the Doxey's attended, testiGed that on his Grst meeting with the Doxeys June 0, last, Mrs. Doxey told him that Doxey was in straightened circumstan ces, but added that she had property in St. Louis from which sim expected to realize money shortly. In August, the minister said he saw Mrs. Doxoy again. This was after Erder's death. Sh told him she had Bettled up mntterH in 'St. Louis and explained that she had been nursing Will Krder, whose wife had de serted him on his deathbed. Sho said Erder had given her $700 to pay certain expense and said S."MNJ represented his sister's life insurance Mrs. Katherine A. Erder, tin: mother of Wiliintn J. Erder, took the wituon stand shortly lefore adjournment. Mihs Kate Erder, her daughter, to w1iop. de tective work the trial of this cose is due, burst into tears as her mother walked into the court room. The latter's testi mony was mainly corrnliorativc of that of the former Charles Shnfrr, an insurance agent, and M. J.Kregdll, a notary public, iden- ItiGed the insurance policies on Erder'a life and the checks, which they said were paid to Mrs. Doxey as Mrs. Erder.
