A aEsa ENTERTAINMENT.


The entertainment at Odd Fell
lows Hall last Saturday evening,
under the auspices Of the Gem Liter
AIRY Society, was the most brilliant
school entertainment that was ever
presented 10 a Mountain Home au-
dience. The house was crowded
and the receipts were good.
The whole affair served to show
what may be accomplished by
pnpils (nearly all Of whom had
never been on the stage beforc) If
properly trained.
The exercises opened with So
lection by the band, followed by the
pleasing dialogue, From Down
East" Daniel Linehan, a. Mr..
Pike, Minnie Tanner as Mrs. Pike,
Laura Johnson and Bertha Turner
as the Misses Wilson. and Fred
Davis as Algernon Westfield, de-
serve special mention.
The recitations---"You put no
Flowers on my Pera'e ggs.ssn by
Lena r. Howard, "The last Hymn"
by Bertha Turner and The Mer-
man" by Jessie Sprague. were mas
terpieces and contained not little
of elocution.
The Empire Drill" under COM
mand Of Mrs. Mullins, was beau
tiful display. the costumes looked
lovely and the young ladies were
much admired. The audience was
so delighted as TO encore, which was
responded to by an overture" from
the High School Band.
| The "hit" of the occasion was the
rendition of the farce "Mr. k
which was greeted by round aftel
round Of applause. John c. Wood
ward as Mr.. X. was simply superb
Charlie Manion as Anthony HEM
was scarcely inferior and showed
remarkable adaptability to thu
character; Fred Davis MS Joshui
Ticks, the telegraph operator. wa
"at homen as q bashful man; Flor
ence Manion az an old maid, ex
celled; while Daisy Griffith, as An
thongs daughter, interceded in be
half Of her bashful lover in q highl,
creditahle manner; Hope Pyburl
in the difficult role of "Molly, tn
maid" was q veritable Bridget
and her costume was strikingly mp
propriate.
The scene, 'Woman's Rights
was very realistic and caused
mighty roar of applause from tn
hen-pecked portion of the audienc
and everybody else.
| At proper intervals Euterpe Cor
net Band rendered splendid an,
gratuitous music for the occasion
as they did for Miss Lizzie Fit
waters Sunday school entertain
ment the previous week.
| The "Gems" should be induce,
to repeat the performance at n
distant day.

AGENT cRowLEY,s REponT.
over 1900 Chinese and 10000 Pounds Of
Opium Struggled into Portland.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report Of Supervising Special Agent J.
G. Crowley, has been submitted to the
secretary Of the treasury. Referring
% the trials at Portland during the
ummer and fall Of 1898, M Crowley
states that in all about forty persons
we're indicted for conspiracy to Illegally
import Chinese laborers and 10 smuggle
opium. He states that the fact was
established that more than 1900 Chin
,se laborers and 10000 pounds OF opium
nad been smuggled into Portland from
British Columbia in a period Of less
han seventeen months. and that seven
4 the principal smugglers had pleaded
guilty and three others were convicted.
Mr. Crowley is Of the opinion that tho
reaty lately entered into with China,
which provides for the return 10 this
country OF Chinese laborers, will, II rat,
fled, greatly increase the work Of the
pecial officers, and II is certain that

Syracuse. Nov. 17.-The bout which
resulted fatally to Riordan was live
ly one. In fact, Fitzsimmons was
such quick boxer and hard hitter that
mis- opponent never had an easy time.
The idea in sparring bout is to in
terest the audience, without making 1t
a fight. To make a bout resemble
fight, the star not always deals gently
with his opponent. Every man in the
house was positive last night that
Fitzsimmons' blow landed on the Jug
ular and Riordan fell forward on his
face, the worst kind of knockout.
1t did not seem to be a hard blow, and
probably was not, The chances are
that 1t was new punch which Fitz-
simmons said he would use few
weeks ago. 1t may be described az
practiced by Fltzsimmons and Riordan
In tais way. Riordan would lead with
n straight left, and It was the custom
Cor Fitzsimmons to counter with his
right, forcing Riordan's glove back to
his own face and neck with the idea
Of Fitzslmmons landing a light punch.
Fitzsimmons conceived the idea of rev
versng this method when the lead Of
his opponent was not very strong. Ri
ordan would be allowed to shove his
left and Fltzsimmons would counter
with his right, on the side Of his OPP
ponent's left arm, forcing his fist out
and from the body. then, with lightning
rapidity. Titzsimmons would continue
the countering blow, landing nine out
of ten times on the other mans Jaw
or face. 1t was one Of the prettiest
and most scientific blows In pugilism,
but 1t had been contended very hotly
by authorities In boxing, that man
cannot hit hard enough with It to pro-
duce knockout. II this was the blow
practiced last night, arguments against
1t are forever thrust aside, for here.
where there was no Intention to nut
Riordan out or even to hit him hard,
his friend and employer landed blow
which ended his life.
Fitzsimmons was arraigned this
morning in police court on charge Of
manslaughter in the first degree, and
waived examination. and was taken
before County Judge Northcup, who
fixed his bail at $4,000. which was fur
nished.
The death certificate gives the cause
Of Riordan's death, as "hemorrhage
within the cranial cavity, causing com.
preston Of the brain" Riordan was
found in perfect health. DR.. T. M.
rellman, who conducted the autopsy,
'ays Riordan must have been struck
a terrible blow on the chin, which
communicated direct with the base Of
The brain. The depression ON the right
'ide Of the brain was very deep, and
half an hour after the clot
vas removed.

1t will be seen that the idea Of the
public ownership of local transit is not

for the future would not be better
than II 1t allows a single corporation
to appropriate to Its own use, to the

way? Who that owns dock property
along the front of the city, would not
consider his holdings worth more If
such were the case? How much would
the cities Of Oakland, In California and

This city is just making start. and
1t Is proper that it start right. The
