Over the Hills to the Poor House
By the Thesnians.

In reviewing the work of our local
talent, enough cannot be said in
praise of the efforts made to satisfy
the public and insure successful re.
suits for the object intended.
The acting in the play showed
studied improvement and better effect
than when first produced by the
Thespians, and it was gratifying to
note that the public turned out an
appreciative audience sufficient to fill
the opera house.
Though the applause rendered was
not in degree equal to the merits of
the acting, still the audience showed
every indication of being satisfied
and delighted.
The part of Hugh Floyd was very
successfully rendered by MI. McCloy
with pleasing effect.
Mr.. l.. A. Simpson as Charles Floyd,
carefully acted his part with good
effect.
ID. G. Klinefclter as Nimrod,
vencered the play with professional
characteristics, and his acting side.
tracked any ideas in the spectators
mind concerning amateur acting. If
the goal of Mr.. Klinefelter's ambition
was not to he a polished railroad con.
ductor, his present calling as a rail-
road trainmm would be considered
out of bounds when measured with
his talents.
MI. klinefelter should not think of
going ''to.morrow"b but arrange to per.
m%anently reside in Dickinson among
his friends.
The part of Frank Jackson was
creditably rendered by Chas. Rau, and
showed no signs of lack of prcpara-
tion, though the part not rendered by
him when formerly presented.
j. J. Freeman as MI. Floyd, old
man, acted his part with very good
effect.
The part of Tim Gardens was
smoothly rendered by O. E.
Lehmicke.
Joe Lenneville as Tom Piper was
effective.
For the ladies too much cannot he
said.
Mrs. E. l.. Scolield acted her part as
Mrs. Floyd with becoming ease and
dignity, and commanded pleasant and
genial consideration.
Mrs. ]. j. Freeman as Jennie acted
her part remarkably we'll knowing as
we do that the character of a cranky
daughter-in-law is directly opposed
to her cheerful christian attributes.
We say this to have it on record in
event of Mrs. Freeman being accused
of meanness enough to drive her
mother-in-law to the "Poor House.
Miss f. C. Lenneville acted the
part of Mary Watson with a pleasant
degree of effective force. The scene
regulating the advance of Frank
Jackson was very nicely rendered.
Mrs. S. p. Gotta as Mrs. Charity ad,
vertised a moral and the character as
rendered was effective. We feel that
the good ladies of Dickinson will heed
the moral and delye in the mine OF
charity at home, while forgetting
Africa and the Sandwich Islands.
Miss Edna Scoield as Ella acted
very gracefully.
The Fort Keogh orchestra rendered
selections with remarkable and skill
full ease. We wish Fort Keogh coult
be located two miles from Dickinson
instead of that distance from Miles
City.
The dance after the performance
stepping to the delightful strains Of
the orchestra was enjoyed by all who
participated, and the "Thespians'
must receive credit for affordina
Dickinson people such delightful.
amusement. Come again.

Let IS talk about the weather. as
that is Il topic of much interest to
cattlemen. We are still able to say
that the winter has been the very
best that could have been looked for
in any country, no matter how fortu.

by Il light fall of snow, and since then

mercury has ranged above the zero
mark. There is not a hump in the
back of any animal OH the range, as
our weather has settled down to that
fall-like weather that has been
characteristic of the winter through.

The now that fell was almost Il
necessity, for before the change in
the weather which brought the snow
set in, large punches of cattle were
drifting toward the rivers, but now
they have gone back towards the
hills and settled down OH their old
places. During the last month water
OH the range was very scarce and the
cattle felt the shortage very much,
and the large streams being open in
places the cattle came from away
back, six or seven miles, for water.
and of course the feed for four or five
miles on either side of the streams
was eaten off, and the effect of these
trips was beginning to he apparent,
when the present fall of snow put
things in good shape again.
