There is no production on tho stage
to-day which has been spoken of with
moro unqualified terms of praise than
Margaret Mather's Joan of Arc" which
is to be presented at the Opera House
Monday evening. Miss Mather's work
as the divinely inspired Joan transcends
anything She has done before. A com
pany of twenty-five capable people are
engaged in it's interpretation.
1t is doubtful if Manager Beckner has
among all his bookings for tho season

than that for Monday night, Margaret
Mather in her latest and greatest sue
cess, Joan of Arc" Tho sale of seats
has been large.
Margaret Mather's coming to a city
is generally made the occasion OF the
social event Of the year in dramatic
circles, and it is probable that her first
coming here will be no exception Of the
rule. Her engagement at tho Opera
House Monday night promises to be
enormously successful.

and fortune; and for several years the
jolly play, redolcnt of rural life and
country character, has been seen in
almost every town. city and hamlet
from Maine to California. Mr.. Jones
has long tried to get PLAY that would
be a fitting successor to Isl Perkins,"
and has succeeded beyond his most
sanguinc expectations. "Our Country
Cousin" almost tells its story in the
title, and is rather more prctcntious in
story and plot. Aside from forming
medium for the display of Mr.. Jones'
peculiar talents, it is also of great dra-
matte strength, combining humor with
pathos, with opportunities for novel
scenic effects.

Tho attraction at tho Opera House

j. Cartcr's great scenic melodrama,
The Fast Mail" 1t has been one of
the greatest successes known to the
stage for years. 1t has story of thrill
ing interest, and tho scenic and other
mechanical effects are said to be mar
velous. There is representation Of an
engine room on 4 Mississippi steam
boat, with the furnaces under the
boilers in active operation. A very
realistic train of cars shoots across the
stage, and the Niagara Falls scene is
one OF the most elaborate and daring
things ever undertaken in the drama.
1T IS described as beautiful, vivid and
accurate representation of that Stupend-
GUS marvel Of nature.
The Falls are shown by moonlight,
with the roaring and plunging waters,
and tho mist that rises from the secth-
ing current. One of the most promi-
mont OF the plays features is the com
plete freight train of fourteen cars,
with an Illuminated cabooSe, drawn by
practical locomotive. The play itself
has thrilling situations in abundance,
plenty of humor to tighten its tone and
give it an agreeable flavor through out.

Too Much Boom.

Our Western Utah exchanges say
the Deep Creek excitement is dying
out. Many working men who were
lured there by the glowing accounts
given OF the country are turning back
Disguised with their experience. This
is always the case in such excitements,
where men with no means of living
but their days work go into new and
undeveloped districts. Of course the
experience of such men, as given be-
low from the Tintic Miner, does not
in any way detract from the merits of
the Deep Creek country:
Three men walked into Eureka
from Deep Creek and Dugway few
DAYS ago, and gave a most deplorable
account of the hardships they endured
in that country. They reiterate the
statement as to the scarcity of water,
provisions and accommodations OF
every kind, while they emphatically
state that it was utterly impossible
for them To obtain employment OF
any kind. Their names are Oscar
wilkins, Sidney Worsey and A. II.
Graham, and by their general appear
ance and conversation they impress us
as honest, hardworking and truthful
miners

A strange story.

The Austin Advocate has the fol-
lowing relative to the old gentleman,
Monsieur Boularanda, who was taken
to the Asylum last week by Sheriff
McGregor of Nye county
He resided in Ophir Canyon for 90
years, is 81 years of age, and native
of Paris, France. His wife and child,
a daughter, died many years ago.
He claims that about four weeks ago
he was preparing to go to San Fran
cisco and had dug up the $4,000 that
he had saved, had it on his person
$1,000 on each side of him, when
three neighbors came to his cabin and
robbed him, and after knocking him
senseless left him lying on the floor,
and when he came to himself he was
scratched and bruised and his money
was gone. He claims also that his
flour was poisoned, it tasting bitter,
and that therefore he declined to eat
but little since he was robbed. He
SAYS he went to Millett Bros. next
day after the robbery and tried to tell
them of it, but they would not let
him in the house. He had been wan
dering about Smoky Valley for sew
eral days without hat, shoes or coat,
and the citizens becoming alarmed
sent for the Sheriff, who brought him
TO Austin. A good many people here
seem to think that somebody had got
theold mans money wrongfully. In
many things he tells "a correct story of
past events, and in some things shows
strong signs of weakness.

Attempted Outrage.

News was received here Saturday,
says the Battle Mountain Nevadan,
that Chinese cook at the Golconda
hotel attempted to drug a young
waitress whose parents reside in Battle
Mountain with tintic cantharides,
commonly termed Spanishfly. The
report was given slight credence, but
Sunday a telegram summoned the
mother to Golconda, who learned the
particulars. IL seems the Chinaman
had acted uspiciously, so the girl
was put on her guard. Last Satur-
day she observed the cook drop some
liquid into her coffee. The young
lady took it to Mrs. Gay and found
it to contain cantharides, the proper
ties for immoral purposes are well
known. Luckily the coffee was not
partaken of. When the people heard
OF the Chinaman's lascivious effort,
whereby he thought TO place the girl
at his mercy, there was talk of lynch
ing but good ~ counsel prevailed.
Nothing was said to the Mongol, until
Sheriff Fellows of Winnemucca, walk
ed into the kitchen. The minute the
door was open the Chinaman said:
"Me no puttem melicen white girls
Coffee" but the officer took him by
the nape and hustled him off to Win
nemucca. lit was fortunate for All
Sam that he did not die the death of
a dog before the law took its course.
This is lesson 10 all those who have
Chinese domestics. They are unprin-
cipled, and inherit a disregard for
morality. In their endeavors they
are sly, most crafty, and, no matter
how well rewarded, are ready to bo-
tray a trust to gain an aim.
