COMEDY OF ERRORS"
A Splendid Performance Witnessed
by n Large Audience.

The rich mounting of the play, the evil
dent adaptibility of the company for II,
showed most clearly that the Comedy or
Errors is the special feature Of Stuart
Robson'S repertoire this season. The 1dcs
that the audience last night was tlS
largest of the engagement showed thal
the theatre-going public appreciated that
fact.
The scenic appointments were indeed OF

ORR EASTERN NEIGHBoRs.

The condition of the crops, says the
Alamosa Independent Journal, is better at
this time than at the same period in any
year since crops have been grown in the
San Luis valley. The low stage of water
may bring some injury to crops later on,
but the probability is that rains w II lie
sufficient to carry them through to

Work on the Wyoming state peniten-
tiary at Rawlins is progressing, the stone
masons now being engaged on the third
floor of the cells. The work is gett ng
far enough along now so that one can
get some idea of the size of the building,
or what it will be when completed. It
already presents quite an imposing APP
pearance.
D. r. Castiday tells the Rawlins Re
publican of a thriving elk ranch on Savery
creek, about eight miles from Dixon,
owend by Barrett Littlefield. Mr.. Little
field has about fifty head of elk in a
large enclosure. about a dozen of them
being bulls and the remainder cows. The
enclosure in which the elk are kept is a
5G0-acre tract of land fenced with a six
wife Cbarb) fence. Occasionally some of
the animals get out but they stay around
close and ofttimes find their way back in
themselves. The entire herd has become
thoroughly domesticated. They come up
regularly to get salt and are as tame as
any domestic animal.

THE JUNE CROP REPORT.
Favorable Weather and Good Pros
poets For an Abundant Harvest.


Observer Sa1isbury's crop bulletin
for the week ending June % is as fol-
lows:
That the week ending June 25 was
very Favorable to the growth of crops
in general all reports agree. One re-
porter calls it an ideal week. 1t was,
perhaps, too cool to be quite that, and
it was certainly too sihowery and win
dy to be perfect haying weather. Corn
would have done better with warmer
weather, but for small grain is was ex-
actly right, being cool enough to make
wheat and oats stool out heavy, and
their heads fill we'll when that far adj
vanced. Unless there should come a
drought, or the irrigation supply
should fail, within a month"; the grain
crop will be heavy.
Cuttinug lucern was continued last
week, and the first crop has about all
been saved. 1t varies greatly from
light to quite heavy. In the southern
part of Salt Lake county half the crop
was spoiled by rain. Potatoes, beans,
tomatoes, etc, have now generally. re
covered from the severe freeze of the
14th inst In early localities new po-
tatoes, which are quite large and fine,
are on the market.
The strawberry season is nearly fin
ished. The yield has been large, and
the berries of fine quality. Raspber-
ries are now ripe. Late fruits promise
we'll, except in some localities where
the frost did more damage than was
at first supposed. In Wasatch and San
pete counties the apples are reported to
be falling from the trees. Around
Springville. Utah county, the apples
look fine.
The rains in the southern counties
on the 18th, 10Th and goth were of great
benefit, especially to tine late crops and
| the second crop of llIcern In Wayne
county lucern is just recovering from
the setback it got by the frost of the
9Th inst. In Washington county the
crops have made good average growth,
although the weather is cool for the
season. Tomatoes are in bloom but
many are diving with blight. 1t is very
dry, and watering has to be done fire.

HORSES CRY OUT.
When in Paiu and Suffering They
Give Voice to Their Anguish.

son the way to ST. Louis I purchased
a copy of a magazine and read a very
interesting article on the patient way
in which animals bear pain without
crying out" said Raymond Howard Of
Boston. who was at the Southern yes

Gle 1 take exception from personal eX-
perience, acquired during the war. The
writer says that a horse will endure
pain in battle without any cutlery.
During the war l rode the same horse
for nearly a year. He was wounded
two or three times slightly, and always
gave vent to so pitiful cry that l felt
as much sympathy for him as though
he had been a human conlrade. One
evening / was out with a foraging party
in Virginia, when we were shot upon
from ambush by a small detachment of
confederates. Ny horse was struck and
fell, and / escaped by riding double
with one of the other boys. We OBJ
tanned reinforcements and soon drove
that gray-coated attachment out of the
neighborhood.
"As we were returning through the
woods I distinctly heard my horses cry,
and returning to it put an end to its
troubles and misery by getting a friend
to shoot it, the task being one 1 could
not perform myself. Last month I
positively saw half a dozen mules do
just the reverse. They had been work

years, and when first brought to the
surface could not see at all in the day

joyed the scene hugely. "-St. Louis
