Charles Aunt"

This unusually funny play will be at tEe opera house this evening, Nov ember g. There are several things about the farce contributing to make it one of the 10 st pralsworthy perform ance that will be giving during the sea son. First, the piece itself is wonder fully amusing in situation, clear ill dia- logue and skillful in development. This is a basis lit to build on, and capable company employed in its cast play as though it was the real and not the mi micked article. Another thing that makes "Charles Aunt" superior to plays of it's class is it's atmosphere. The players are men and women of good manners, moving in high walk of life. The play is frightened, even if ridiculous, and the ecene of the play permits the use of garments fit for men and women of good breeding to walk and talk in. It will be readily understood that such a combination with a good play cannot give anything but a first class perform ance. Tte company is under the direc- tion of Charles Frohmsn.

The Woman Knew Best.

Much comment has been caused by the official reports of the United States and Canadian governments, in which are presented the evidences of the superior strength purity and whole someness of the Royal Baking Powder.
 It is true that the good housewife looks upon commentators of the Royal Baking Powder from sclentists and off, cial sources such as these very much like ''the Oildinp of refined gold" Her practical experience long since taught her in the most convincing way the great usefulness and superiority of the Royal article. A higher proof than this she does not want and cannot have. Yet it is pleasant for her te realize that the facts established by these great compe- tive tests, scientific examaination made under direction of the government, exactly parallel those she had before worked out in her own common sense, practical way.
 It does not appear that any baking powder, when presented in competitor with the Royal, either at the govern ment tests or before Worlds fair iurie: has ever received favor or award ovel the Royal or made an equal showing 1T

Mrs. w. B. Meek, who resides at Camptonville, Cal, says her daughter was for several years troubled at times with severe cramps in the stomach, and would be in such agony that it was nec- esssry to call Tn a physician. Having read atout Ohamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoe remedy she concluded to try it. She found that it always gave prompt relief. It was seldom necessary to give the second dose. ''It has not only saved us lots of worry and time,' she says, "but also doctor bills. It IS my opinion that every family should have bottle of this remedy in the house." For sale by Fred Fleishman.

The Old Colorado River Bed.

| Some 60 miles east of this city and two miles south of the Mohawk section house on the s. P. railroad eau be seen | a large force of men at work. | This Is the mining camp of Prof Rowland of San Francisco. It will be
 remembered that last summer the Prof. | located Tn that section several miles of placer country and did considerable | work on one of his many claims. Hot weather came on and work was stopped uDtll cool weather set in. Prof. Rowland went to San Francisco, and it is said that during his stay there he organized stock company to prospect for the an- clent Colorado river bed. At any rate the Professor went through here few weeks ago and there followed him shortly several carloads of machinery and lumber.
 The Professor claims that in the pre- historic age the Colorado river run where he IS now at work. He says that with the assistance of his divlning- rod he has traced the Colorado rIver bed of ancient times from it's fountain head in Utah to the Cult of California.
 Near the ranch of Geo. W. Norton in the Mohawk valley is where it crosses the Gila river, and from that point the old channel takes southerly course until it reaches the gulf.
 At the place where the Professor has his men now at work he feels positive lie buried untold wealth. He has a large number of men at work night and day sinking two double compartment shafts. They are working In shifts of eight hours. Get good wages and their money when earned.
 It is the prophecy of the Professor that when the bedrock of the ancient Colorado river is reached, gold will be taken out in bucket fulls and shipped by trainloads. Let us hope that the prophecy may come true.-Sentinel
