"LAST LOAF"
Inc Performance in Bellevue for the
Benefit of the Fire Company.

The recent strike in the Minnie
Moore, which has given cause for so
much congratulation up and down
the river, is especially pleasing to the
people of Broadford and Bellevue and
last night at the performance of LAST
Loaf" by the dramatic club of Belle
vue, the first opportunity of giving
expression to the good feeling per-
vading all classes, was made the most
of. A party of 35 went down from
HALEY.
Capt Lusk and Judge Hunter, of
the Queen, and big, genial r. j. Nc
Phee, who knows more about the Min
ME Moore, and ought to, than anv
one who has been in charge of it, we're
prominent in the audience that filed
the theater.
The play was we'll put, the stage
setting being appropriate, and the
characters, on the whole, fairly we'll
sustained. Mrs. j. H. Harris, as
"Mrs. Ashton" gave evidence of I'M
doubted dramatic talent. She was a
little stacy at times, but in the main
true and natural. Carl johnson. as
"Dick Bustle," and Mrs. o. S. Glenn
as 'Patty JONES'" were the life of the
play. James Locke, as "Chubbs, the
butcher" gave piece of character
acting that would have been credit
able in a veteran comedian. Miss
Grace Leachman, as "Lily'', was vi
vaclous and charming. Mr.. Downs,
as heavy villain, was decidedly heavy,
seeming to appreciate the possibilities
of the character least when they ap-
peared greatest. VIM. Mercereau, as
Harry, did the best he knew how,
no doubt-but he don't know how.
l.. Solomon, as the easy going father
of an interesting famil y IN comfortable
circumstances, was very good. AS a
drunkard he was a monumental fail
ure, and when the audience should
have been touched, they were-to
laughter.
After the play the floor was cleared,
and dancing claimed the attention OF
all until the light of a new day broke
over the world.

But One that the Victims Deem Very
Despicabie,
Recently a lodge of the Grand
Orient was established in ketchum,
with a membership of about 40 nom
bers. Last night they had a regular
session, and initiated IL additional
members. They had previously or.
dered fine layout at the principal
restaurant of the town for midnight
sharp!
AT the time stated member of the
lodge went to have the tables set, say
ing they would be down presently.
Five minutes later about so men fled
in, sat down, and were served to
boned turkey, truf1ied fowl, Swiss
cheese, cranberry sauce, etc. AS this
gang arose to 60, having com.
pletely demolished the spread, the
lodge arrived, with invited guests
from Haley, Bellevue, etc. Tab.
leau! There was nothing left but a
few crumbs!

Diseases Of Doctors.

An English statistician, DR.. VIM.
Ogle, declares that the mortality of
physicians from scarlet fever, typhus,
diphtheria, enteric fever, malarial fe-
yer, and erysipelas, is very largely in
excess of the average. Medical men,
however, seldom have small pox-pro-
badly because they are most frequent
ly and successfully vaccinated. Dis
eases of the liver are very fatal among
doctors, due, Dl. Ogle believes, to me-
glect of the wise dietetic rules which
medical men recommend to their pa
tents.

PercherOn Horses.

Hundreds of stations are now an
nually imported from France to the
United States. The immense wealth
they are adding to the nation will be
better understood from the estimate
that the first cross of Percheron stall,
lion with native mare doubles the
selling value of the colt when mature.
The accomplishment of these grand
results are greatly due to the energy
of one man, to whom the American
people are greatly indebted, he having
imported and distributed to almost
every State and Territory, nearly
1000 Percherop horses. A visit to
Mr.. NJ. w. Dunham's "Oaklawn
Farm" at Wayne, illinois, will give
new ideas of the magnitude of the
horse improvement of the country.

IHE HALE & NORCROSS.
Its Superintendent Confident of Soon
UncOvering a Bonanza.

ItS superintendent Confident OF Soon
Uncoyering a Bonanza.
AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Hale g. Norcross Min
ing Company, in San Francisco, a few
days ago, the superintendent submit
ted a lengthy review of operations
during the past year, which concluded
as follows:
Finding this quantity and quality
of ore at this great depth from 1900
to 300 feet,) in a perfect fssure sur
rounded by the most fertile ore bear
ing material, and the formation iden-
tica' with that of the largest ore
bodies heretofore discovered on the
Comstock, inspires the hope and be-
lief that the present find will not
prove an exception to the rule, as
shown by the past history of the lode,
and that the patient stockholders of
this company will soon be rewarded
with bonanza equaling any hereto
fore uncovered on the great lode.
The report was received with en-
thusiastic applause. 1t might well
have been, as the announcement of a
bonanza on the Comstock would be
neither more nor less than the discov-
cry of an ore body that would yield
hundreds of millions of dollars, and
would make independently rich any
person lucky enough to own as few as
20 or 80 shares, even.
