AT a meeting of republicans last Monday,
ID. A Becklcy Of Bloomsbury and M W.
jackson IT Berwick were elected delegates
to the State convention. Capt. Ted Reese
OF Centralia was also candidate, but as 1t
was not certain that h. could be controlled
by the Cooper-Quay combination he was
defeated. The, delegates are uninstructed,
but will use their influence for Cooper for
state chairman, and probably for Gordon
for Supreme Judge

The audience that witnessed "Nan's
Acre Lot" at the Opera House Thursday
evening of last week was of good size but
it was not nearly as large as 1t should have
been. The play is good one and was

audience by storm from the start, and
nearly every one of her songs was encored.
Harry Pepper played BILLY Buffers" well
and the remainder of the company were
well up in their parts. Mr.. Pepper has a
magnificent tenor voice and his ballad sing
ing and duets with Tutein were applauded
to the echo. The performance was the
best that has been seen at the Opera House
for some time.
The May number of Harper's Magazine is
not deficient in fiction, although there is
less, perhaps, than usual. William Blacks

riage," by Miss Annie Bigelow, daughter OF
the Hon. John Bigelow, and "Lamenta'

pleasantly with one another. The supply
of poetry is proportionate. Miss Rives
