Hands Across the Sea-" one Of Henry Pettit's
best melodramas, drew crowded house to
Morosco's last night. The piece has not been
played here for some years., but has always
been a great favorite, and was very well re-
ceived last night. although the book has been
cut in a. few places to suit the views of Mr.
Levick, and not always with the best effect.
Mr.. Levick made strong and manly John
Dudley, and his work In the second and third
acts especially was well received He had ex-
cellent support in Miss Hall as Lillian Melford,
who has established herself firmly with the
Morosco audiences. Their strongest scene to-
gether was in the fourth act, where both were
generously applauded.
The other parts were distributed among the
members of Morosco's excellent stock company,
who handled them with force and ability,
Messrs. Brinker and Holden and Misses Henry
and Blanc being especially good
The scene-painters did some more good work,
particularly in the ship scene in the fourth

Obituary.


Mrs. Rsbecoa A. Carter, wife OF Dan
iel Carter, died at the residence Of her
daughter, Mrs. Jefiers, in Delta, Colo,
last Sabbath, July %, 1895. Her age
was 73 years the 18th OF last February.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter came from their
home in the state Of Now York, to visit
their children in this place, expecting
to return to their home last April. but
on account OF Mrs. Carter's Ill health
they remained here. She was great
sufferer for a year on account Of an ab-
cess, as well as health broken by con-
stant care for fivc years Of her blind and
aged mother.
Mrs. Carter belonged to the Prcsby-
terian family and was reared in that
church. She was devoted mother,
wife and friend; she was always very
grateful for anything done for her; she
never wished to be care or trouble to
anyone. This was characteristic Of
her. She was psacemaker, always
ready to make and keep peace among
her friends. All who knew her loved
her; her acquaintances here were linn

pie that shows what can be done by our
fruit growers. Geo. E. Colgate has just
one acre in Strawberries. the variety ID
Edwards FavOrite' and most Of the
plants were set out year ago. This
season from the acre Mr.. Colgate picked,
marketed and received the cash for 327
crates OF 7,84S quarts. After paying all
expenses Of picking, packing and ship.
ping they netted him seven cents per
quart, making the net profit on the
acres yield exactly e549.36. This shows
what can be done on a little piece OF
land with the proper care and energy on
the part Of the grower.
This is not the only example Of great
yields here this season, but one Of the
many in which We have all the figures
at hand. s549.36 as the net profit from
one acre OF ground in season when
prices have been very low, is not bad.
There are many acres Of land about
Canon today fully as good as the piece
belonging to Mr.. Colgate that can be
bought for less per acre than his net
profit on that one acre this season.
Where is there country to equal
this?'
Right here in Delta county can be
had lands in every way superior to those
anywhere on the eastern slope, both in
price. climate, productiveness and cheap
ness.

A New Industry.

The development OF the canning fac.
tory here means much more to Delta
than is realized by the majority Of her
citizens. One Of the additional indus
tries incident to it's establishment is a
manufactory Of tin cans in which to
pack it's product. an industry which is
now established here. Nick Arch has
opened a tin shop in the large room just
north Of the court house and in few
days will have machines in place for
making all sizes OF tin cans for packing
vegetables and fruits. At present he is
killing time making cans by hand but
as soon as the machinery arrives he will
put it into active operation. He will
also do general repairing and tin work
In connection with the manufacture Of
cans.
The location Of this industry here
means steady employment for several
persons and by that amount increases
the payroll and prosperity Of the com
munity. Messrs. Sanders and Anderson,
the gentlemen who are at the head Of
the canning works, deserve credit for
their public spirit and enterprise in en-
couraging the development Of every
thing possible in tho line Of manufac-
turing hero by giving their work to
home firms instead Of sending out for
it. II everyone else in the community
would follow their example Delta would
double in population within the next

POLITICs---REPUBLlcAN.

THE great Horr- Harvey debate on the
silver question has terminated and the
verdict will be rendered by the people.
Many good points have been brought
out in the discussion bat through the
entire contest it has been plainly visible
that Mr.. Horr was inclined to be ego
fistical, thinking, that bare statement
on his part, unsupported by any known
authority could, etfectually knock out
any proposition advocated by Mr.. Har
sey. The latter invariably quoted au-
thorities for all his statements and re-
ferred to the book and page where the
quotation could be found. He not only
did this but had the books, papers and
documents actually ut hand to be ex-
amined and to show the correctness Of
his statements. OF the two there is no
question but that fair minded people
will prefer Mr.. Harvey's method and
give to his arguments the greater Gre
dence. 1t looks very much as though
Mr.. Horr could not produce the facts
hom which to Justify his conclusions.

Turkey Stoppcd tho Train.

Swarms of locusts are well known to
have stopped railway trains, but up to
this time it was probably never heard
that a single turkey had power to ac-
complish that feat. How it was done,
in Oxford, Pa, is described in the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger: The engine
was putting hard on an upgrade, and
passed under an overhanging limb of a
large tree in front of farmhouse. On
the limb were several turkeys at roost.
The exhaust steam was SO strong that
it knocked hen turkey from her perch,
and she came down upon the bell-rope.
The bell rang, and the engineer
brought the train TO a halt! Then, of
course, the conductor fastened forward
to know what was the matter, and one
of the trainhands discovered the bird
still fitting upon the rope, and giving
utterance to notes which, it is fair to
presume, were expressive of surprise.
The men set up roar, the bird took
wing, and the engine again began to
puff
