ADJUSTMENTS.

Milton Mobiles and an excellent COM
pany appeared last night at the opera
house in revival OF his old success,
the Phoenix. This is the play that
made Mobiles famous the American
continent over, and now that it is
dished up again after several years of
peaceful repose it shines all the bright
er. 1t gives MOBILES more oppottuni-
ties, and like the pheuix he aspires TO
represent he rises from the not alto
gether satisfactory work that has
attended other plays of his, and en-
dows his old time fayorite character
with rare personalities and excellent
presentation. have on several oc-
caslons taken exceptions on Mr..
Mobiles work in other characters and
other plays, but am free to confess
that in his Phenix he is pleasing
His work is smooth, his presence not
in the least affected, and his general
presence both attractive and enter
tanning He Is fortunately surround
ed this season with an excellent com
pany, embracing among the number
Miss Dollie MOBILES, Miss Blanche
Hillman, Messrs Charles Winans and
G. Joy Williams. The last named
representing as he does "tle member
from Jerusalem" does most excellent
and effective work in the comedy end
and is second to none in quality and
finish.
Last nights audience, while not
very large in number, was still above
the average, end was certainly strong
in their approval of Mr.. Mobiles and
the company's wsrk-Austin Daily
Statesman.
This popular southern favorite, to-
gether with his excellent company
will appear at Ghio's opera house on
Friday evening. the 10th inst.

should invest five cents for a cake of
Clairette Soap, and find out what true
economy means.
AS this is true of Clairette Soap, so
can the same principal be truly ap-
piled to Rea & Pages "Our Beauty"
brand of -four This -four, in point
of general excellence, has no rival in
this city. 1t makes snow-white "de-
licious bread" fit for the gods to feast
upon. If in the hands of a good cook
there is no other brand of flour in
this city that can be compared with
it, SO far as quality is concerned. And
unless you demand of your grocer
"Our Beauty" brand Of flour, and
make him send you this brand, you
use on your table bread made from
second or third grade flour, no matter
if 1t is branded "High patent"
just try a small sack of "Our Beau
ty' -four, will you? And note the
difference in the bread, to that made
Of the kind yon use. "Our Beauty"

Senator Myers of Linn county, has
introduced road bill which provides
for the building of roads by money de-
rived from direct taxation, to be levied
by county courts, and expended in the
county where the levy is raised. He
has confidence that the measure, if it
becomes law, will be great improve
ment on the present slipshod method OF
road-making. The bill creates the office
of supervisor, who is to expend the fund
in conjunction with the advice of the
county court. For all repairs of new
work not exceeding $50, his personal
Judgments supreme, but for larger con.
tracts he must advertise for bids, and
award the contracts after consultation
with the county court. There is to be 8
poll-tax of 50 on all males between the
ages of twenty-one and forty-five years
which may be paid in work. Bridge
work is to come in under the road law

will be grieved to learn that there is a
tendency among the modistes oftLondon
