Joe OFT in The Star Gazer."

Aware of the fact that the theatre
goers are over burdcned with threadbare
plays. Toe Off, who comes to the Opera
House, Tuesday, March 5, has replaced
1.-THE Dazzler,' the funny comedy in
which he has been starring during the
past three seasons with a new satire en-
titled, 1.-THE Star Gazcr" and it is said
where the new play has been produced to
be excruciatingly funny and decidedly
original The theme illustrates the
whims and foibles of n peculiar type of
gentry, whose insane desires to revolu-
tionize the heavenly bodies is, indeed, a
very happy idea. There are few comedians
upon the stage who have created more
loquacious endorsement and hearty press
comment than this latter day fun ex-
tractor Mr. OFT has surrounded himself
with an unusually clever support, while
the mouutings, music and general scenic
display is another leaf ahead Of the farce
comedy world.

The Melba Concert.

At City Hall, Portland, March 5, a
grand concert will be given by Nine.
Melba, the famous singer. This wonder
full singer, who seems destined to fill the
place in public esteem and popularity form
erly occupied by Patti, has been before the
public only seven seasons, but in that short
time her surprising art has won for her a
foremost position in her profession. Nine.
Melba will be accompanied by Il concert
company of fine quality, including Miss
Gertrude Edmunds, contralto; Mr. Wat
kin Mills, the London basso; Mons. Oh.
Mole, flute; Mr.. Il. Adamowski, violin
and the Adamowisk Quartet of Bos-
ton The concert cannot fail to provo one
of the most brilliant musical events of re-
cent years, and all signs justify the pre-
diction that it will be attended by an enor-
nous audience.
There will be half fare and late trains
over all railroads for all holding concert
tickets.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The New Row


The comedy success, 1.-THE New Boy, .
Will receive its first presentation here
next Saturday, March 2, at the Opera
house. James T. Powers is the central
figure of the original cast which presented
this play this season for $50 nights at the
Standard Theatre, New York city.
The New Boy is conceded to he one
OF the brightest Of all the humorous PLAYS
that have been done in this country for
years. The principals are James T. Pow
ers. Frederic Robinson, R. F. Cotton,
Helen Kinnard, George Backus, Rachel
Booth. W. r. Shirley, Helen Gardiner
and Others Of like prominence.
The New Boy is described as cam
panion play and worthy successor of
"Charley's Aunt" and an idea of the
story may be gathered from the follow
ing: "The New Boy is not boy at all,
but sedate and serious-minded married
man. who is forced into knickerbockers
again by his ample and dominating wife
and who goes to school once more, against
his will, finds himself in the hands of a
let of fun-making Philistines who bully
and cuff him and make his Indebtedness
so ridiculous that it becomes absolutely
side splitting

FOR "A RAILROAD INTO CHARLES
MIX COUNTY.

Last Saturday meeting was
held in Charles Mix county for
the purpose of offering encour-
agement for the extention of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway
into that section. Yankton was
invited, through the freight bu-
reau, to send representative to
the meeting, but the invitation
came too late for a response.
The plan of those interested in
the meeting is to induce the
Northwestern to build from Yank-
ton up the Missouri river to
Springfield and from there to
strike northwestwardly through
the center of Charles Mix county.
The Indian reservation which has
so long stood as a wall against
railroad advancement is now out
of the way. Charles Mix county
is teerning with wealth of crops
which seek an avenue to the mar
ket. 1t is a good country--one
that would maintain a railroad
handsomely---all the way from
Yankton to the western limit of
Charles Mix county. Yankton is
vitality interested in the project.

Robert Buchanan, editor of the
Sioux Falls Forum, and one oil
South Dakota's prominent citi-
zens, died at Sioux Falls June p.
He was a native of Scotland and
about 50 years old, man who
had the courage of his convictions
and who would stand by them
though all the world differed. In
the death of Robert Buchanan
South Dakota loses one of it's
most earnest and persevering ad-
vocates.

Gen. Maris Taylor, who has
been engaged in the real estate
business at St. Louis during the
past year is now visiting with his
family and friends in Huron. The
general informs us that he ex-
poets to soon move his family
south. There is a capital loca-
cation fight going on in Missouri,
and Taylor's many friends hope
that his past experience in that
line may enable him to make a
big wad of money.
