The presentation Of the above
sparkling drama, at Ghlo's opera
house in this city, on the 18th instant,
by the popular actress, Lillian Lewis,
will be the event Of The theatrical sea-
son, In the production Of this cele-
brated play, Miss Lewis appears as the
premiere rider Of the Prague Amphi-
theatre. The action of the play takes
place at Prague, Bohemia, during tho
war of '66 between Austria and Prus-
sia; the costumes are in the main mill
tary German, of course) and the
scenic effects are original and very
picturesque. Miss Lewis costumes
are very handsome, including four
magnificent gowns--an Arena dress
of full tights and the uniform Of q
Prussian Hussar.

A Popular Favorite.

In speaking of Lillian Lewis, the
fair and facinating favorite of the
American footlights, the San Antonio
Express, says: There is probably no
better known actress in San Antonio
than Miss Lillian Lewis, who is at
present playing an engagement at the
Grand Opera House. Miss Lewis has
been visiting this city regularly for
many seasons past, and her popularity
IS evidenced by the large audiences
that invariably greet her. Although
Miss Lewis has only been seen in
emotional parts, she is an actress of
rare versatility and she has large
repertoire of various plays.

the State Line Methodist church, in

line Of march was taken up for Rose

A wATERY GRAVE.
Geo. Watkins and His Son Joseph,
Drowned in Red River.

Geo. Watkins, q well known either
ank excellent mechanic, of Ogden
Ark, accompanied by his son Joseph
and a friend, Mr.. b. S. Skinner, start
ed on Monday evening of this week
on hunting and fishing expedition
down Red river, from their place OF
residence. The boat prepared for the
journey was moored about about
three-qusrters of a mile north of the
Fexarkana and Fort Smith railway
bridge, and IN the launching of same,
it was that both father and son lost
their lives beneath the treacherous
waves of this dangerous stream. The
details of the sad event are related as
follows;
The hunting party composed OF
father, son and Mr.. Skinner, arrived
at the river bank, about A O'Clock
Monday afternoon, preparatory to
embarking on their fishing and hunt
ing tour down the river. The boy,
Joseph, was seated in the stern Of the
boat to steer, while the two men re-
NAMED on the bank to shove the craft
from the shore. 1t seems that the
boat struck and lodged against u snag,
when Mr.. Watkins waded out into the
stream and giving the boat a power
full push sent it out into the river, the
sudden force of the shove dislodged
the boat and sent it down beneath the
water, causing the boy to lose his
balance and fell into the river The
father at once struck out for his boy,
and in the effort to save his life, which
followed, both father and son were
drowned.
The other member of the party was
rendeaed helpless to aid his compan-
ions because of his inability to swim.
Immediately after the news Of the sad
occurrence reaching Ogden a party
was made up to search for the lost
bodies. After graphing in the nver
all day yesterday the effort was aban-
doned as unsuccessful and messenger
dispatched to the city to secure the
services of Mr.. G. w. Ripple, an ex-
perienced river man, who left here
this morning by private conveyance
for the scene Of the disaster He went
prepared with dynamite cartridges to
attempt the recovery Of the bodies by
means Of explosives, this being the on
ly practical means left untried. Should
this method fail, time and the mercles
Of the waves can alone be looked to
for q surrender of the bodies of the
unfortunate victims.

taken for consumption, in its early
stages, checks further progress of
the disease, and even in the later
stages, it eases the distressing
cough and promotes refreshing
sleep. 1t is agreeable to the taste,
needs but small doses, and does not
interfere with digestion or any of
the regular organic functions. AS an
emergency medicine, every house.
hold should be provided with Ayers

Having used Ayers Cherry Pee
toral in my family for many years, I

been such list of attractions offered
to the people of Redwood and adjoin-
ing counties.

terday, but the attractions will not
commence until this morning, when
the music of the bands, the coaching
of the base ball clubs, the clang of
the horses hoof, the serenade to Gov.
Nelson, who will be driven to the
grounds with solemnity, will mark an
epoch in the history Of Redwood
county. For never before has a Gov
ernor of the Great North Star State of

es. Horses from all over the State
that give promise of new records are

for the purses.
