The attraction at the Opera House
tomorrow and Saturday evenings and

Evening Herald says: Sat Skinner

den and company presented the Irish
drama, will o. the Wisp.' The audience
was large, and testified its enjoyment
of the entertainment by its frequent
and enthusiastic applause. The play COM
bines comedy and pathoS in a pleasing
fashion. 1t is well constructed and has
many strong situations. Mr.. Selden is
a graceful and spirited actor. The sing

CANA, all of which are skiilfully COM
bined into a pleasing and harmonious
entirety. The mechanical devices are
really surprises, because Of their ingen'
uity and their startling effect, not the
least OF which are the transformation

wonderful illusion and on the specially

A WILD demagogic appeal to "Irish-
men Of Ohio" labelled an address by
"Hon. Douatus O'Brien," is being cir
cuIated by tens or thousands In Ohio by
Mckinley workers. The trouble with
Mr.. O'BRIENs startling appeal is that
he rips the bowels out of his own argu-
ment by quoting the following table of
wages:
Great Britain, per day..................9l cents
France, per Observation-Disclosures. cents
Germany, per day. $500. .......'.''IS cents
Italy, per day. 90 ceuts
Russia, per day Observation-Disclosures. 30 cents
Showing that Free Trade England
pays far higher wages than France,

are thousands of protected" American
laborers who don't get 81 cents per day.

Through the courtesy of County Su

from his annual report to the state su-

year ending June 80, 1891, and includes
all schools in the county outside the
city of Watertown: There are 9,671
children between the ages of and 20
in the county reported to the county
superintendent, and 1915 children at
tended public school during the past
year. The average wages paid male
teachers per month were $54.77; aver
age wages paid female teachers pei
month, $27. 7.35 There are 127 districts
in which 218 teachers were employed
during the past year. Five new school
houses were erected at a cost of ST.,

to an ordinary mechanic it would seem
an utter impossibility TO do the work

John Duncan to handle the locomo-

showing in freight earnings. Mr.. Dun
can is a shrewd, far-seeing, progressive,
energetic man, possessed Of executive
ability Of the highest order, and it did
not take him long to see that he had
better use his profession to advance his
own interests rather than those of

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.,..& meeting of
about fifteen Republican representatives
was held at the house OF Representative
Townsend, of Colorado, tonight, to dis
.cuss the present phase of the senate sill
yer bill. While the extreme silver men
were unwilling to accept anything that
did not embody free coinage,
the idea OF several more conser-
vative measures were discussed, among
them the free coinage of silver of Amer
ican product; and plan of campaign
by which it is hoped to bring the house
to vote upon the silver question was out
lined, though not formally agreed upon.
Representative Wilcox, of the house
coinage committee, said to reporter to-
night that the senate silver bill will be
reported this week. There will be two
reports, the adverse one signed by
Wickham, Walker, Comstock, Knapp
and Taylor, Republicans, and Tracy,
Wilcox and Vaux, Democrats. The
favorable report will be signed by Car
ter and Bartine, Republicans, and
Bland and Williams, Democrats.
Representative Geary, of California.
today introduced in the house a bill
providing for the free coinage of silver
produced in the United States.
The amount of silver offered to the
treasury today was 78S, 900 ounces the
amount purchased 15O, 900 ounces, as fol-
lows: 10000 ounces at 81. .OO05, 11O. 900
