Rev Father i’ost has returned from
his visit to Mary's Igloo and reports'
inn enjovabie trip and many novel ex-j
periences. The trip was made In two!
days and was unmarked bv had vveath- 1
! er except while crossing the Golden j
l Gate divide where a severe storm was
encountered. Father Post expresses!
extreme gratification at the condition j
of the natives under the care of Father |
j I Serial rd and states that he was much
surprised at seeing small girls who
I were able to sing and recite in both
j English and Latin while several were;
inble to ulay the organ with no little
j skill. During the visit. Father Rer
j nai'd. who is a native of France, re
ceived the call to arms from the!
j French government tail will not be
' "inpclled in respond unless ordered to
obey by his superiors in religious or
ders. Father Post states that grave
fears exist regarding the reindeer
herds in the interior section, manv of
which are slowly starving, because of
the heavy coating of hard ice covering j
the tundra, due to the frequent thaws
during the winter nnd which make It
extremely difficult for them to procure
the reindeer moss upon which they en
tirely subsist Large numbers of the1
animals are said to be in very bad t
shape.

j The Sweepstakes Road Show given
: j last night at Eagle hall proved a big
j treat to the large and appreciative
( audience who attended and from the
praising of the curtain to the final act
| there was not a dull moment.
' Iu many respects it excelled the
; vaudeville of last year and several of
( tho nets would make a hit-on the out
| side.
i Klondy Nelson and Ernest Berggren
( as the Powell and Ysaye of the North,
fully sustained tlieir reputation as solo
S violinists and the first number "It Was
S Not So To Bo" was beautifully render
S ed. They responded to u delightful
* encore.
j i Doc Kemp and his company of college
youths consisting of Faxon Lewis,
OliverWenver, Ralph Lomen, and Henry
Cole, next mode thoir appearance on
the hoards and Doc, as usual, made
good. His singing and local verses
were classy and kept the audience in a
continual roar of merriment. The
dancing and chorus work of his quar
tette showed careful training and was
tho best that Nome has seen for many
a day.
Miss Rannie Baker next delighted tho 1
audience with a very pleasing soprano
solo and was one of tho surprises of
the evening. Her tone work and enun
ciation was exceptionally clear and she
responded to n well earned encore.
Vesta Sheldon, the Vesta Victoria of 1
Nome, with her European novelty 1
chorus including Ellen Weaver, Ruth <
Morris, Hollio Jones. Katherine Me- !
Guire. Helen Allan and Ida Wegner, J
presented an net both startling and <
unique and scored an immense hit. <
Mrs. Sheldon, as well as her delectable J
dollies were charmingly gowned and <
their grace and beauty, combined with
their sparkling dancing won for them
the hearts of the Nomcltes Mrs. Shel
don was especially clever in her encore
number and this winsome star remind
ed one of the real “Chocolate Soldier.
Nell McNnh “Scotland's Greatest
Favorite" gave the crowd a couple of
Scotch character songs and brought
down the house Tills was his initial
appearance before Nome's bald headed
row and he proved to tie a second
Harry Bander
Tile moving picture “Won at the
Rodeo" donated hv the Drder of Eagles
for the occasion was splendid and not
one in the hall would have changed
sents for a ride on tile bucking bron
chos.
"At tlic Reception" a clever song skit
was ably presented by Marshalle .tones
and Doctor Sharpe and this number
showed professionalism from start to
finish Their dialogue Intercepted with
jokes of local hue were humorous to a
degree and their singing and acting
was par excellence. Bright songs from
the doctor ami bright smiles from Miss
Jones won them a hearty encore from
tlie lug audience. Oliver Weaver, ns
the waiter, showed lie was there when
it i mile to "selling Juice" and his role
was carried out well.
McGuire and Kerr in ‘‘Endjcrous
Oaperlngs of Highly Hilarious Calibre"
! kept tlie audience spellbound and
sprung a hunch of original locals that
were rich. Mae is always good and his
[partner Kerr was orpin 11V as clever
Billy the dog was there in all his glory
and seemed to enjoy the fan
The wind-up number “Fun with the
Rubes" with Wm. Pangmnn. assisted
by James Bogan Don Miller. Bud Beh
mann. Flvde Miller and Don Brown
proved to lie a top notch novelty act
and was carried out to perfection The]
old Brown-T.ehrnann plug did all the j
necessary kicking and there was no j
kicking on the Pnrf of the andence
Henry Petersen and Olpe Bourette
at tlie piano played for the various per
formers throughout and are deserving
"f special mention. The success of the
show is wholly due to Arthur Fide who |
rendered valuable services, both at re
hearsals and behind the scenes where
the real work takes place.
The Kennel Flub will net about $250 i
on the performance.

WASHINGTON April II Develop
ments along the .Mexican border are
such ns to cause the State Department
considerable anxiety during the past
forty-eight hours and members of the
official world . arc reported as saying
that the situation is critical. The
Mexicans are reported to be pa\ ing no
attention to the repeated warnings of
tin* American otllcers and violations of
the rights of neutrals are reported to
ho frequent. The threatening state of
affairs has caused the government to
order additional troops to the bound

MANY REFUGEES SEEK
TU ESCAPE FROM MEXICO
j WASHINGTON. April H.—The in-1
I creasing disturbances throughout the |
Mexican republic are dail> compelling
tile foreign population to seek safety
in flight and hundreds of refugees are
arriving at the various seaport towns
from all parts of central and southern I
Mexico. Advices from the American
Consul at Vera Cruz yesterday state
that over three hundred refugees are
gathered at Tampico awaiting an op
portunity to return to the United
States. It is probable that the gov
ernment will order some vessel of the
tleet now in Mexican waters to pro
ceed to that point.

TURKS REJOICE AT ALLIED
FAILURE AT DARDANELLES
SOFIA, April U.—Dispatches from
Ottoman sources indicate that the
Turks are jubilant at the failure of the
allied war fleet to make further ad
vances in the Dardanelles and the
Moslems who lately fled in anticipation
of an attack on the Turkish capital
are again returning. Government bul
letins are said to be openly declaring
that the allied fleet is not only unable
to make a further impression against
the defenses in the Dardanelles hut
ate also losing round. New batteries,
concealing large caliber guns are de
clared to have opened fire on the
French and British war ships com
pelling them to withdraw to the west
ern side of t he passage after receiving
severe punishment from tHe Turkish
fire. The allied fleet is said to tie de
voting attention to the few isolated
batteries a)ong the western entrance
and are maintaining a desultory t>om
I'ardment which is declared to be in
effective. It is assorted that there is
not the least doubt that the hostile
fleet will he compelled to abandon the
unsuccessful and costly nttcmpt to win
ifs way to the Turkish capital and a
complete abandonment of the effort is
daily expected.
