"Skipped by the Light of the Moon"

Harrison and Gourlay's screaming
farce comedy, Skipped by the Light O
OF the Moon," which will be again pro.
duced at the Salt Lake Theatre next Tues.
day evening, can lay claim to the longest
and most successful run of all the funny
plays in this country for the past two sea
sons.
No analysis can be given of such a
farce. The laughter begins two minutes
after the curtain rises, and the authors
make it point that it shall not stop I'M
til it falls upon the third and last act. To
succeed in this they have hesitated at
nothing. There is nothing so wildly i'm
probable in idea, in repartee or in action
that they have not brought to bear. Or
binary methods are pushed aside. Pieces
OF this klnd-and this is really alone of
its actual kind-are either not funny at
all or they are too funny for anything.
Mr.. Louis Harrison, who takes the lead
ing part in this farce, is natural-born
wit. He seldom opens his mouth without
saying something that is worth listening
to-. He has manner all his own and
belongs to the domain of saturnine COM
edy, half dry and the other half as brilli-
ant as Clicquot. Mr.. Gourlay, his part
ner and fellow-worker, makes the con-
trast. He has humor quite as individ-
ualized and an action that would shame
young monkey. They are both hard
workers and never lose chance. While
the audience roar they go on working up
points, which result in constantly new
:llmaxes that again produced fresh peals.
The best advice to give about a piece of
his kind is to go and see it.

OPINIONS ON THE CRISIS.
Caught OH the Fly by the ssDemO.
crat,s,, Ubiquitous Reporter.

In making news roundup to-day, q
DEMOCRAT reporter caught on the fly
many expressions and opinions on the
':signs of the times" The universal
belief is that the hour of the crisis in the
affairs of Utah has arrived-the begin
ming of the end has commenced. Every
body seemed to have something to say,
and gave expression to their views with
out reserve.
A prominent insurance man said he
thought that commission was now in
evitable; that it has become q financial
necessity to save the Territory from going
to pieces. The defunct legislature, he
said, had, through its imbecile course,
brought the affairs of the Territory into
such condition as to leave no other
course for Congress to pursue but to en-
power the President to appoint a COM
mission.
Another man of prominence thought
that Congress would order new cleo
ton and provide for new legislature
within sixty days.
A certain Peoples party newspaper
man offered to bet that commission
would be appointed before the LIST of next
July.
Attorney Dickson said this morning
that he had received word from reliable
source that George @. Cannon was not at
MS home where he had been since his
capture. Numbers of others say that if
Cannon has skipped it is the very worst
hing for his people that he could have
lone: and that his departure will not |
postpone the final result one hour, but, |
instead, hasten the end.
A faithful old Mormon said this morn
ng that if President Cannon has left, it
both disgraceful and dishonest"
Everybody is hopeful as to the ultima
UNI, the Saints, on the one hand, be-
eving that God will deliver his people,
nd the sinners holding firm and fast
hat Uncle Sam will come out boss and
n top.

THE GUBERNATORIAL CHAIR.
Rumors To-Day That Col. Merritt
Will Next Occupy the Execn-
tive Seat.

The most widespread excitement pre-
vailed on the streets most of to-day, re-
sulting from rumor that Colonel S. A
Merritt had been appointed Governor Of
Utah. There were parties found who
were ready to give assurances that the
telegram announcing the appointment
had been seen by their informants. Mr..
Merritt, who was found in his Office
shortly after the rumor became circu-
lated, stated to reporter that he
had heard nothing in relation to
the appointment and didn't believe
any such action had been taken. The re-
port gained such rapid circulation, how
ever, that within few minutes after the
first announcement was heard on the
street several of Colonel Merritt's init
mate friends and admirers called excit
edly at his Office to offer congratulations.
The Colonel himself was not affected in
the slightest perceptible manner over the
report and, in very cool-headed way, in
formed his callers that ''there is nothing
in it."
1t seems that private telegram was
received from Washington last evening,
stating that President Cleveland and At
torney- General Garland were closeted on
the Utah question, and were considerably
perplexed over the situation of affairs
here. The very plausible inference is
taken from this and some other circum-
stances which have developed within the
past twenty -four hours, that John T. Game,
having been appraised OF the "crisis" be-
tween the Governor and the Legislature,
laid the affair before President Cleveland,
who gave the assurance that he would |
ak the matter over with General Gar
and and see what could be done. Mr.. |
Jaine may have made the guess in his
telegram to friends here that the result
If the Presidents talk. with Garland
night result in the BUSTING of Governor
Murray and the appointment of Mr.. Mer-
lit. OF course this is only an inference.

WITNESSES WHO WERE WANTED.
Hunting for Them in the Cannon
Case Brings to Light Two in
the Joseph f. Smith
Matter.

Several mounted deputies were seer
scouting around town this morning, anG
their movements created very general
impression that something important was
in the wind. When Deputies Greenman
Smith and Cudihee refined up at the Can
non mansion on the Jordan river it was
thought they We're searching for either
George O., who is suspected of being gone,
or some important witnesses in his
case. A lady who refused to
give her name was found at
the house and her remarkable anxiety TO
keep her identity covered up caused
the officers to take her into GUS
tody, and she, with Kanaka wo-
man also in the house, were brought
up to the Marshal's office. Here
the lady preserved the same determined
stubbornness as she had maintained from
the first, and neither Mr. Dickson nor an
other CT the officers could obtain the de-
sired information as to the lady's name.
1t transpires that the lady had been sus-
pected OF being one of the material wit
tiS01os' III Vic StullOll Cast, anu In tlllS.
it soon appeared, the officers had
made a most positive blunder. But
their disappointment was considerably
lessened when the lady was recognized
as one of the polygamous wives of
Apostle Joseph f. Smith, for whom there
had been a subpoena pending for some
time past. Mrs. Smith requested that
some of her friends be sent for, which
was granted. VIM. Groesbeck and others
afterwards visiting her at the Marshal's
office. The Kanaka lady was unable to
speak English, and H. P. Richards, of q. |
Z. NJ. l., who spent several wears
On the Sandwich Islands as a
Mormon missionary, was subpenaed as
Interpreter. Mr.. ]. II. Movie, the
City Attorney, who had come at |
Mrs. Smiths bidding, was dispatched |
or sureties, which it was of course neces-
'ary to furnish in any event, and in the
Meantime Mr.. Dickson took the ladies
md the Interpreter into the Grand Jury
DOM.
Mrs. Smith did not require much pe--
uasion when taken before the Grand
ury, and soon announced her name as
Edna Lampson Smith. The Kanaka
7oman, it is understood, protested posi-
vely that she knew nothing about George
}. Cannon or his family, strange state
lent in viewof her having been found
n Cannon's home. Mrs. Smith was re-
,ased on bonds and will be examined in
ne near future.

OPHIR AND DRY CANYON.
New Ore Bodies Discovered Fine
outlook for the Coming Season.

Ophir and Dry Canyon have every in
dication of big mining boom this season
The steady price of lead, coupled with
recent developments in the mines, in
sures greater activity and more general
prosperity than has been known IN those
( camps for years. At the present time
the bad roads and scarcity of teams teno
to keep the camp back, but, with the
advent of warm weather, both these can
be remedied. 1ti;a a.
During the past few months some fine
ore bodies have been opened in the
mines owned by the St. Louis CONSOLE
dated Mining Company, and in the near
future the shipments now reach
100 tons per month-will be greatly aug
mented. The Buck Horn mine, owned and
operated by this company, shows immense
bodies of ore, ranging from five to thirty
two feet in thickness. In fact, the devel-
opments have been so gratifying that
the old "whim process of hosting has
been abandoned, and fine new steam
hosting plant is being erected in its
stead. The Fairview, Grey Rock and
Stanton mines, form another interesting
feature in this chain of mines, and add
their quota to the general product. It is
the intention of this company to erect a
concentrating mill near the town of
Ophir, in the spring, to handle their low
grade ores, and several other improve
ments that will conduce to the easy work.
ing OF the mines are contemplated.
The Hidden Treasure mine is coming
to the front again as an ore producer, and
bids fair to gain its old precedence among
the mines of Dry Canyon. This prop
erty is worked under lease by Messrs.
Liddell & Talbot, who employ from fifteen
to twenty men. The ore body recently
opened in the lower workings of the mine
shows from four to six feet in thickness,
and the mine is producing about ninety |
tons per month. The bad roads have |
greatly retarded the shipments of ore,
md the recent storms have made them
almost impossible.
Tolman & Co. are working small
orce of men on the Brooklyn mine, and
make regular shipments OF about IS tons
Der month.
Higson & Co. are working the Rather
nine, doing considerable development
york and getting ready for spring ship
nents.
Taking them as whole, the mines of
)phir and Dry Canyon are looking better
han they have at any time for years, and
othing short of heavy tumble in the
rice of lead will keep from coming to
he front this season.
