Charles Pnerper, Who Wrote tho Music
for the "Robber of the Rhine"

The "Robber Of the Rhine" the new
opera with which the rebuilt Fifth Avenue
theater in New York was recently opened,
did not make as good an impression at
first as IL has since created. The hbretto
was considered rather dull, although writ
ten by that prince Of repartee, Maurice
Barrymore, and the piece, taken all in all,
lacked that snap which Is absolutely es-
sential to the success of a "comic opera"

Mr.. SIoNAL:-Won't you allow
young Weiser miss an opportunity to
write few lines in the paper we all
like and which every one reads?
This being leap year, l think it
would not be out of place to allow
one of the gentler sex to express her
views upon subject of deep interest
to her and many of her companions.
1t is to the young men | wish to speak.
l claim to be nice, quiet, sensible
girl. do not give myself up entirely
to dancing and other aeeting
amusements. While / do like
amusement to certain extent, do
try to think of other things good
part of my time. | try to improve
my mind and make a good noble
woman of myself, worthy to be the
helpmate of some equally worthy
man (of course, like all girls, l expect
to meet some one whom | shall call
husband some time). Now | have
arrived at the point l wish to get at.
How can a sensible girl tie herself to
any of the frivolous, flirting young
men of Weiser? Scarcely any of
them seem to have an object in life
other than to fiirt, dance, wear good
clothes, and spend their money at
cards. None of them appear to think
of the future or try to fix themselves,
financially, so that should they meet
their hearts choice they would be
enabled to take her and settle down
into domestic happiness. There are
few young single men "a very few
here who are steady and appear to
have some other object than butterfly
gayety in view. But perhaps one of
them does not touch the right chord
in some girls heart, and perhaps
some girl s heart is set on some young
gent whom (she being a sensible girl
she cannot think of marrying, how
ever much she may like him, because
he has not the stamina to place him
self in comfortable circumstances.
He is frittering away youths golden
days in foolishness and when he does
realize that his youth is dwindline
away and considers that he would like
to settle down with a sweet little wifi,
TO comfort him, he is not able TO DE-
so, as be has not means to keep her
and must put in several years more
accommodating a sustenance before HI
can do so. BY that time he is prett,
well along in middle age and the hap
piest and most golden days for welded
bliss is past Will the young mel
reform? BESSIE.

and from the day of the trade began
to steadily to pine away. His new
owner left the country and John took
care of Bally, paying 81 pasture
bill, and finally presentinga $40
stable bill, which Bally could not
pay, and his owner having left, Mr..
Cobbs advertised the old horse for
sale This was more than Bally
could stand To be traded off was
bad enough, but to be advertised!
No sensible horse could stand such
humiliation Bally couldn't, and
and the other morning when Cobbs
entered the stable there was Bally,
dead He had laid his throat across
the manager pole and throwing forward
his whole weight, thus shutting off his
wind, taken his own lifel Committed
suicidel Poor old Bally! (This Is
the story as told by friend Haas.)
Remember your small accounts due
the SIGNAL! We are close run
Creditors are insisting that we pay
them. The commissioners have de-
graded themselves by refusing to pay
us for work the county ordered done,
and, although we are well aware that
every one is hard up at present, if
all of our patrons can spare q dollar
or two each, it will greatly help the
paper that is honestly doing its best
for your interests and would do more
if it was financially able.
R. G. Stewart, writing from
Indian valley, says: "The Leader
came very promptly until the 1st of
September. Since then l have had
three copies of the SIGNAL in October
and November" Something is
rotten in Denmark sure, as the paper
has been regularly mailed. We have
forwarded number of these
complaints to the postal department
and if the present administration is
DESTROYS of retaining the good will of
the people it will certainly look into
matters in this section.

Happenings up There
AS Seen by Our Regular
Correspondent

ED. There is very little
news in this part of the country to
write about at present, but your
correspondent haying kind of itch
for writing though he would work of
some kind of batch of rubbish,
which you are at liberty to label as
seems to you most appropriate.
AS to the burning of the school
wood; the way l understood it was
that every man having children to
send to school was to contribute,
collectively, wood to last through a
three months school: part of the
term to be paid out of the district
money and the remainder to be paid
for by subscription. Five persons
out of about dozen furnished wood,
two of them for school purposes that
l know of, and if the other three
hauled their wood for the school, the
church with, the alliance, got the
benefit of it. If it was hauled for
alliance purposes, then the three
persons mentioned and number of
Others are delinquent for school wood.
But the wood was burned and the
school closed just for pure
unadulterated laziness on the part of
the persons interested, What said
about the wood was said and intended
more for the church than the alliance
The Citizens informant, who
. insinuated that the alliance had been
called names, must have been laboring
under some kind of mental
hallucination or else he had taken an
extra pull at the pipe.
Nick Woods, our genial miller,
and an old time resident of Indian
Valley, says he intends to bring or
some of the latest improved machinery
for his mill in the spring The mill,
as he proposes to improve it, will be
run principally by gas. He says,
too, that he will have sufficient
supply to furnish the alliance il
campaign material.
