This favorite company has engaged the
Cheyenne opera house for next Saturday,
Dec 5, for one night only. Three Of a
Kind is the comedy in which they will
appear here. The New York Graphic
has the following on this laughable piece:
"A winning hand is suggested by the
title Three Of Kind, which Mr.. Edward
E. Kidder has adopted for his new play
presented by Salisbury Troubadours to a
merry audience last Monday night. 1t is
a very bright production and provoked a
great deal of merriment and applause. OF
course it is understood that with such in
terpreters as Nellie MeHenry. Nate SAILS
bury, John Webster, W. s. Daboll, Josie
Langley and Thomas f. Jackson a right
jolly entertainment is assured, but it must
also be conceded that in Three Of a Kind
Mr.. Kidder has supplied a vehicle for the
display of their exuberant peculiarities "

Yes, you may well say complaint, -
for if there is anything makes a poor NOR
tai complain, it is to have his liver out OF
order. The liver is the great scavenger
of the body. 1t gathers up refuse, works
it into bile, and then works the bile off.
II has a heavy contract and sometimes
fails. Then there is a general disturbance.
This disturbance Is quoted by taking
Browns Iron Bittens. Mr.. w. A. Brown,
of Marshalltown, Ia. says, Browns Iron
Bitters relieved me OF liver complaint after

SHERMAN.
Dame Natures Panorama--A Singing
Glass Organized.
The Young Men Look at the stars from
the Floor Of the Skating Rink,

Special.
SHERMAN, TEX, Feb. 13.-Winter
weather with its storms of snow, sleet,
rain and ice has been the rage here for
the past few days, and every time the
curtain dropped on a winter act some
one would applaud and bring out an
encore. The performance opened today
with q solid prospective Of snow, but
after the sun arose in his majesty, the
white mantle gradually disappeared
until late this afternoon nearly all the
streets revealed again their natural
cOlOTH.
An interesting singing-class has
been organized at the Baptist church
on Crockett street and twice a week
the future stars OF song will assemble
there to cultivate the divine art under
the instruction OF Prof j. M. Hunt
rhe professor lately moved to this
city from Lampasas and will in future
make Sherman his home.
The skating-rink was completed in
the opera-house yesterday, and last
night the male votarias OF roller elS2t-
ing made an imprumptu test OF the
new rink. The wood door had been
treated to a hardening process that
made IL very sleek and precarlous as a
footing, and the consequence was that
many of the boys saw their heels
soaring high in the air while the men
tal faculties were taking lightning
sketches OF astronomy from showers
OF stars that appeared about the
time their several anatomies found a
place 10 light. After sprinkle OF
chalk had been lavishly dispensed
this Inconvenience was overcome, and
Saturday night the ladies VIII be out
in force to bless the new enterprise
with their smiles and presence. This
Ia perhaps the only $4,000 rink in
Texas.
A greater number OF drummers than
usual have been loating about our
h tells during the past week. Severe
snow-stOrms ia the Northwest have
driven them south with the other
migratory fowls, and bad weather
here has made them oOntented % stay
where comfortable quarters invite.
