ssZozo The Magic Queen.,'
 It is seldom that the manager of an op- era house, the manager of a show the peo- pie taking part, the press and the public in general agree unanimously in one thing. But such was the case last night in the presentation of 'Zozo," It was one of the worst performances ever pro- duced in the opera house. The scenery was the worst ever presented in a spec tacular play. Should the company last another week it will be a miracle.

 ''Ivy Leaf,
 w. H. Powers "Ivy Leaf" company opened last night to a crowded house. All Irish plays are reminiscent of one another. 'The Ivy Leaf" embraces the salient points of all with the tower scene added. Constant acting has done much to make the performance smooth and easy, and this is the main one of the leading points in its favor. The play is excellently mounted and interspersed. There are taking songs and lively dances, Everything went with a snap, and the audience was we'll pleased with their evenings entertainment.- Francisco Alta. At the opera house Monday evening.

The Governor OF Kansas Favors . Service
Pension Bill.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 1S-ln response
to an inquiry from the editor of the
Western Veteran, Governor Humphrey
has addressed communication to that
paper declaring in favor of q service
pension. He says:
II am and have always been in favor
of the most liberal pension legislation
possible in aid of the survivors of the
Union armies and of widows, orphans
and dependent relatives Of deceased
comrades. The men who preserved this
Union have a simple, trusting faith
that the country, now rich and
prosperous, will not fail to remem-
Der them kindly in time of peace. It
would not be money thrown away but
put in circulation through worthy and
deserving hands. The Nation would be
no poorer, but rather the richer
for having thus remembered its
defenders. The Republic would never
lack for brave men to die in
its name in the future. Millions would
come to Kansas, the home and ref
uge of more than 100. 600 of the men who
followed the right flag. Everybody
would be helped. Best Of all, the old
veteran would light his pipe with old
time zest forgetting his wounds and
misfortunes in the exuberance of
his JOY. 1t would give him new
heart to wrestle with the world. With
his old wife he would devote his remain
ing years to thanking God and blessing
his country. 1t would lend a new charm
to his life. His grizzled, wrinkled,
weather-beaten face would beam with
patriotic delight. IS he gathered his

just that much worse. The citizens
