TnEATER.-The Nevada Theater was opened
last Thursday evening, under the management
of Mr.. Phelps. The attendance on the whole
has been fair, though not large. Mrs. Estelle
Potter is the principal attraction, and being
supported by good stock company, there is no
reason the management should not receive a
liberal patronage during the season. AT Mrs.
Potter's benefit, last Saturday evening, at
which she personated her great character oil
Lucrctia Borgia, the house was crowded, show
ing concusively that her former efforts in the
hstrionic art are remembered and appreciated
by our theater-going citizens
This evening is set apart for Mr. Phelps ben
eft "Rafaelle the Rcprobate," "Used Up"
"Gance at New York." and small and broad
sword exercises by Mons. Chauval and Schmidt,
are among the attractions which will be pre-
scnted on the occasion.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

REJEcrEp.-The special election on Wednes-
day last, resulted in the rejection of the propo-
sition for the introduction Of water for fire pur-
poses. The whole number OF votes cast were
369 of which III were in favor Of the PROPOSE
ton. and 1913 against 1.-TWO votes having been
rejected in the count Numerous objections
were made TO the proposition, some OF which
would be fatal to any proposition that might
be submitted Many objected to it because they
were opposed to granting individuals or private
companies the exclusive right to supply the cit
izens with water by means Of pipes. Others
thought the city corporation should pay moth
ing; that the amount collected from the sale OF
water would be amply sufficient to remunerate
the company for their outlay of capital; while
others thought the contractors should become
responsible for damages by fire, in case the
works were out of repair at the time These
objections cannot be obvated at present. Had
the exact location of the reservoir been given
in the proposition it is probable it would
have been accepted. The reason the location
was not given more definitely, was that the
contractors were not the owners Of the ground
and had the exact spot been designated, those
claiming it might have charged an exorbitant
price for it, This latter objection, and Others
which have been made to the wording of the
contract, can be remedied should another pro
position be presented

GOING OUT AND COMING IN.

In that home was JOY and sorrow
Where an infant first drew breath,
While an aged sire was drawing
Near unto the gate OF death.
His feeble pulse was falling,
And hiseyo was growing dim:
He was standing on the threshold
When they brought the babe to him. .
While to murmur forth a blessing
On the little one he tried,
In his trembling arms he raised it,
Pressed it to his lips and died. ....
An awful darkness rcsteth
On the path they both begin,
Who thus meet upon the Tires hold.
Going out and coming in.
Going out unto the triumph,
Coming in unto the fight
Coming in unto the darkness;
Going out unto the light,
Although tho shadow decpcned
In the moment Of eclipse,
Whom he passed through tho drcld portal
With the blessing on hidlips.
And to him who bravely conqucrs
AS he conquered in the strife,
Life is but the way ofdying-- .@
Death is but the gate of life;
Yet awful darkness resLeta ......
On the path we all begin, w.
Whero we meet upon the Threshold,
Going out and coming in.
