The Wonderland musee and theater
is attracting friends and a large

of Messrs. Strong and Smith. Large
agdienees, IN which the ladies and chill
dren predominated, was the result
yesterday at all OF the performances
The tAeater and eurio hall will be
open every day from ] until 10 p. u.
The attendance which saw the see
ond presentation OF Manager smiths
new program at the Wateifoo-st-
theater was in accord with that OF the
preceding night in expressions OF ap-
proyal. The first matinee OF the week
Is announced for today.
James Forbes is in the city In ad-

second sight seeing as well as the un-
vailing o! the legerdemain OF spiritual

The sale OF seats for that roaring
farce comedy which Halien and Hart
present under the title Later On"
is now in progress at Powers. The
fame OF this production in the larger
cities will doubtless win the attention
OF those who enjoy genuine enter
taiument.
c. F. wiegand is In town ahead OF
one OF the most important theatrical
attractions which is booked TO appear
at Powers this season, Donnelly and
Girard's Natural Gas" Company,
which comes with the prestige OF sew
eral long engagements in New York
They Will be here August 81. Messrs
ponnelly and Girard always carry
with them the same scenery, pro-
perties, costumes and effects that they
use in the Metropolis. and they are
supported on the road by the people
who have helped them to success in
New York. The performance OF the
bright and sparkling farce comedy.
given here will be a duplicate in every
respect OF the New York production.
And a duplicate OF the performance
which proved so popular at their
engagement here last season.
THE Country Fair" as its title
suggests, is a story OF the country.
It's scene OF action is laid in New Eng
laEd, and its characters are as true
10 life as rag weed by dusty road.
It is described as laughable and
bright comedy, with an excellent dra-
matte flavor, and with Just enough
dramatic interest to keep the mind
from dwelling entirely on the cows,
horses and haymakers. The produc-
tion will be garnished with complete
scenic environment, and the running
horse-race, which has caused so much
sensation elsewhere, will he given ex-
actly as at the Union Square Theater,
New York. The sale of seats will
open for the engagement at Powers.
which occurs September 1, will begin

we have hay. straw or something of the
kind, of our own, to add to the purchased
food This is particularly so in the case of
sheep.
There is growing demand in this coun-
try for good mutton, says Mr.. Harris. For
long time mutton did not figure with US as
generally popular meat. Beef and porl,
commanded higher price. Now mutton is
generally higher than beef, and judging
from English experience this will continue
to be the case. The demand for good lambs
is phenomenal. Is seems almost impossible
to fully supply the demand. Lamb is not
only intrinsically good and nutritious
climate than beef. Lamb may not be so
profitable to raise as the mature mutton,
but it will always be profitable enough to
justify its production. Some writers men-
ton lamb-production as losing business
by this they mean that keeping the lamb to
ma turity would be more profitable than
selling the lamb but not that there is no
profit in selling lambs.
Sheep is among the easiest stock to raise
under favorable conditions, but to make a
success of it everything must be caused to
work out just right. The ewes must be
healthy, strong and thrifty. If there is to
be any rough usage whatever the merino
should be the main dependence, as that
breed will stand rough usage much better
than the fine English breeds. 1t will not
do to expect profit from the fine English
breeds under half starvation.
