In the last two or three years, lola
has had two or three really first-class
entertainments, and one of them, to
our notion, was the lectures given in
the Opera House last week by Prof.
Jas. Rosedale, the Jew. The Professor
is a veritable Hebrew, Levite, and
his description of Jewish customs, peo-
pie, songs and manner of living in the
first lecture, his account of the Mohani-
elan pilgrimage to Mecca In the sec
ond,9 and his illustrations of Jewish
and MOhamedan ceremonies in the last
lecture, were all intensely interesting.
Considering the nature Of the enter
tainment and the price of admission,
the audiences, We regret to say, were
ridiculously small.
At the request of McCOok Post we

Mcclure Bros. went over to ElDOra-
do Tuesday of this week to invoice a
large stock of dry goods which they
have bought for the purpose of estab-
fishing a branch house there. The To-
cation they have secured is one of the
best i'm the city, We understand, and as
they will carry Il heavy stock we have
no doubt they will work into a fine
business. We commend Mcclure
Brothers to the good graces of our Ell
Dorado friends and assure them that
they have acquired a wide-awake, ell
ergetic firm, and one which will be a
credit to their town. J. w. Mcclure
will take charge of the branch, while
w. H. and Matt" will try to hold
things down at the old stand. We
wish the new departure unbounded
success.
On Monday night few minutes be-
fore the Lehman & Higginson fire, a
two horse rig stopped near Peery 4
Jones' elevator, horses were white,
three men were sitting in the rig, and
another man coming from the direction
of the stable, where he probably set the
fro .rnt into tho riU MAKING f0rr in
the buggy, they drove toward lola; one
man wore glasses, and when the man
who filled the empty seat got into the
rig, the fire was the size of water
bucket.-lnter-Std
The above is an attempt to make it
appear that some Of the lola boys who
went down to Humboldt Tuesday even
ing to see the ruins are responsible for
the fire that occurred there Tuesday
night. Wee quote it, not to waste space
by denying it, but just to show what
IN internal fool man can make of
himself when he tries.
