From careful estimates, based upon re-
ports from all over the parish, we placs
the rice acreage this yeaF at 26,500 acres,
against about 81, 900 last year, and nearty
40, 900 the year before. It is yet too early
to give any estimates as to the yield,
because large portion Of this acreage
was planted in June, and has many
perils vet to encounter. 1t may be
trnthfmly said, however, that no
more rapid growth was ever made
than that Of the late planted rice this
year, and should the season be wet one
from this on it promises to yield an
enormous crop. A good rice crop and a
good price would set the Calcasiep
farmers Oh their feet once more.

WHY mn MUSICAL PEOPLE PREFER The KRANUER PlANQ!
COLD STREET CARS.
A Great Deal OF Complaint About Their
ErIgidity.

The patrons of the Wheeling electric
street railway lines in this city are
complaining abont the GOODNESS OF the
cars running over their lines. There
has been some talk that the company
intended putting in stoves this winter,
but If there is anything in the report,
the company is slow about putting in
the necessary beating stoves.
This is all very aggravating to the
patrons OF the road who are compelled
to ride in the cars, and the company
should see to it that stoves are put in AZ
once. 1t will not only be a convenience
to the people, but will be a benefit TO
the road. as many people will ride who
walk now on account Of the cars being
so cold.

AND SPECIFICATIONS.
And Ai7srises for Bids-To be Constructed o.
Wood, Steel or Iron-SOms New
Features

The Board of Directors Of the State
Fair Association held a meeting yester-
day afternoon, and decided TO erect a
new grand stand for the new driving
track Drawings prepared by Engineer
Gil Browne, embodying the best fea-
lures OF the grand stands at Columbus
and Cleveland, were submitted TO the
Board and unanimously approved. The
Board decided to advertise for bids for
the erection of the stand OF iron or
steel, or wood.
Engineer Brownies plans provide for
q grand stand with a seating capacity
of 5000, The present structure seats
$500. 1t Will be built 40 feet from the
track, and the floor of the stand will be
seven feet from the around al it's lowest
point, permitting persons to pass under
it. The bar will be placed underneath,
and provisions will be made for pool
sellers. The reporters stand will be
eight feet from the ground, and attach
ed TO the front aud center OF the grand
stand. The judges stand will be on
the west side OF the track, and the
timers and band stand inside the quar-
ter stretch.
The new grand stand will be loaded
from the rear and top. Stairs will
lead to the top from the north and
south ends of the building, and a land
ing SIX feet in width will extend the
entire lenghth of the stand. There
will be three stairways in front for
emptving the stand into the space be-
tween it and the track. Instead of the
rough bench seats folding chairs will
be provided, with sufficient room to
move about, as in the opera houses.
In another column Secretary Hook
advortises for bids for the erection of
the grand stand. When the contract
is awarded the work will be pushed TO
completion as rapidly as possible In
the meantime the work Of grading and
filing for the new track is being

DIRECT FROM EUROPE.

On Monday evening, November 10Th,
our theater goers will have the oppor-

of Europe have been ransacked for the
most perfect models Of the human form
divine. The previous attempts OF this
latest form Of entertainment will be
completely eclipsed in this representa-
tion and twenty Of the great master
pieces OF ancient and modern times will
be protrayed by breathing visions Of
loneliness, ravishing color, harmony
and physical perfection. Notwith-
standing the large expense Of this at
traction, the usual prices Of admission
will be retained.
THE POWER OF GOLD.
Walter Sanford's great scenic produc-
ton OF 1.-THE Power OF Gold" will &C.
cupy the stage of the Grand, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. The author
could scarcely have chosen better sub
ject for a melodrama, and its itstantan-
eous success is convincing evidence Of
its popularity. The play is one Of
modern life, and unfolds a story com
tale of love, despair, poverty and muir
der; the harsh jargon Of the ruffianly
thief finds an echo Ia the soft, honied
words Of pair Of fervId lovers, the rich
trappings of the gilded saloon fades
away to give place to the squalor OF a
garrett in a London tenement house in
the overcrowded slums.

A good sized audience witnessed the
charming opera "Olivette" at the Opera
House last night. Miss Lizzie Coma
lez sustained the title role, and her solos
were enthusiastically applauded. The
Countess" of Essie Barton was fault
less. The chorus was strong in all its
numbers. This afternoon, LA Mas
cote" will be produced, and this even
ing "Girofe-Girofa. The house should
be crowded at each performance.

The above named play has been hold
ing the boards at the Grand since Mon
day evening. The play is strong one
and is very we'll put on by this com
pany. The stellar part is that of little
Edith, taken by child only seven years
old. The little one is without a doubt
one OF the best, il not the best child
actress on the stage at the present
time. This play deserves much better
patronage than it has been receiving.
There will be matinee this afternoon
aud the performance tonight ends the
