The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-07-07

The telegraph brings the news that
another war between the United States
and Mexico is imminent. For years
bands of cattle thieves from Mexico
have been depredating on the Ameri-
can side of the Rio Grande, stealing
from settlers and occasionally murder
ing one who attempts to protect his
property. This has been carried on to
such an extent of late as to attract the
attention of both the United States and
Mexican Governments. The latter ap-
pears to be unable to suppress the ma
RAIDERS, and it has been ascertained
that many of the Mexican officials are
in league with the thieves. So loud
was the cry for assistance raised
on the Texas frontier that it reached
Washington, and preparations have
been made to send an expedition to the
border. A Washington correspondent
says that the movements of the War and
Navy Departments have been con-
Quoted with the greatest secrecy, and
very few outside of official circles hare
an idea of the completeness of every
detail of the onward march upon
Mexico. Imperative demands will
be made upon the Mexican Gov
ernment, and if not conceded,
sterner measures will be resorted to.
This means war, victory for the
United States, and another slice of
Mexican territory, the greater part of
which will evidently become part of
Uncle Sans domain.

UPON investigation it appears that
there was not much to warrant rush
to the Black Hills. The Government
sent geological expedition to the
country in charge of Professor Jenney.
Some time since he reported that as far
as explored gold had not been found in
paying quantities in the Hills. To-day
the telegraph says he reiterates his
former statement, and the Black Hills
bubble is bursted.

GRANTS kitchen organ. the Washing
ton Republican, eulogises Gorham, and
says: 1.-The shafts of SANDER pointed
at him will fall harmless at his feet. F"
The organ is right. The fact that Cor
ham is despised and repudiated by the
people of California does not affect him
in the United States Senate, of which
body he is Secretary, and the popular
vote at the coming election in that
State does not affect him so long as the
Senate is Republican.

bance.

The OPERA HOUSE.
Its Opening last Night by John Dillon.

The long looked for hour when Ottawa should
again be the possessor of frst-cass place OF
amusement, came last night The opening oi
the Opera House was justly made the event Of
the season, and was witnessed by over one thou
sand OF the leading citizens Of our city. Prioi
to the raising Of the curtain, Mr.. John +. Nash
delivered short address, combining himself to
the loss sustained by the burning of the old ed
flee and the gain to the city in the erection OF
the present greatly improved and beautiful
structure. lie paid deserving tribute to the
enterprise of Messrs. Colwell, Clark Il Co. in
sparing no pains or expense in presenting q
place of amusement perfect in all its appoint
ments, and bespoke for them prosperous and
popular future. At the conclusion Of Mr.. Nash's
remarks the orchestra rendered an excellent
overture, and the popular play Of "Everybody's
Friend" was gone through, with the uneXceled
John Dillon as the leading character, sup
ported by Hooley's full stock company.
The play was perfect in all its parts, and, as
demonstrated by the rounds of applause, was
highly appreciated by the vast audience. To-
night Mr.. Dillon, with the same support as last
night, will present the lew play of "Zachariah."
This is play which is entirely new, having been
written expressly for Mr.. Dillon, and never be-
fore put upon the boards. There is great inter
est taken IN the play by the press of Chicago, SO
much so, in fact, that the amusement editors OF
the Times, Tribune and Inter- Ocean, will visit Of
tawa this evening and see the play put upon the
stage for the first time. or course our citizens
will fill the house to its full capacity, as on last
night.

Susan Denim.

The popular Dramatic Troupe of Susan Denim
will be in Ottawa during fair week. and give six
entertainments at Turner Hail. The character
OF the troupe and the ability of each actor is too
well known by our citizens to need word
of recommendation from us. To all who desire
to witness frst-class and refined entertainment
we say, patronize this troupe The company. as
well as being stars, is composed of ladies and
gentlemen who, by legitimate theatrical life,
are winning laurels in their profession.
Their advance agent, Mr.. Whitley, informs us
that new attractions will be presented each even,
ing, and that the company will do all in their
power to present such plays as will find echo in
the minds of an appreciatlve audience. We
trust that they may receive crowded houses, well
knowing that their ability will deserve them.
For particulars see small bills.

During the Fair.

On Monday evening, the 18th inst, the cele-
brated Haverly minstrel troupe will begin six
nights engagement at the Opera House. The
troupe is undoubtedly the best on the continent,
is composed Of % star performers, and will give
a series of entertainments which in mirth and
original wit will surpass anything ever offered
in the city. The Press far and near is universal
in the praise of the troupe, and give to each az
tor such endorsement as to denote the party the
success of the age. Reserved seats will be on
sale at the usual places, and our advice to our
friends is to secure them at an early day, there
by avoiding the rush of strangers who will be
here during fair week.
