The Silver State Dramatic Company Of
Ruby Hill will make their debut in the
Hill Opera House this evening in caste"
There will be no little curiosity to see how
an amateur company will handle this IA
vorite comedy, but we predict the Utilities
will get away with it in good style. 1t
should be remembered that the entertain
ment is given for the benefit Of the public
school, which, aside from the merits OF the
performance, should draw out one OF the
finest audiences ever assembled on the Hill.
We believe arrangements will be made 10
run the stage from Eureka at such hours
that those who desire so see our neighbors
in Caste" will be afforded an opportu-
nifty TO do so.

A striking Contrast.

The Elko Independent says: Omitted
States Senator James G.. Fair passed
through by the train last evening on his
way to the National Capital, via Concord,
New Hampshire. where his son ia attend
ing school. The Senator-elect, instead Of
packing his own grub and immuring him
self within a special palace car. promptly
came ashore from the regular sleeper in
which he travelled; Economically took q
seat at the regular hotel; ate a good, square
meal; put up a regular American dollar
for it, and then moved among his friends.
There is nothing particularly p~raiseworthy
in this, but it is in striking contrast with
the course pursued on similar occasions
by the person whom Mr.. Fair succeeds"

The Lyon County Times says the Off

THE New Orleans States says
the Natchitoches Vindicator fairly
bowls because it thinks the Lottery
question will be Jagged into the leg
islation Of the present session. A
certain class of members is itching
to get it Jagged in. As long as there
10 any legislation pending or in
prospect affecting the Lottery, those
members who do not look for pay to
she. Treasury alone have some
chance of replenisbing their empty
pockets. When there is nothing
stirring about the Lottery there is
30 need to dispense the bribery fund,
and the rank and file Of corrupt
members become needy and queru-
lous. 1t is only the captains and
lieutenants of Howard that draw pay
all she year round, and judging from
the way some Of them splurge sud
denly, without visible source Of in
creased revenues, the Lottery must
bleed copioasly.
