OPERA IN The WOODS.
Watch Tower Company Gives . Delig ghtful
Production Of the sMikado."

Production OF the "Mikad0."
Music swelled the breeze and fell
from the trees as fascinating feat
ure of the romantic environments of
the Tower last night; and large
and appreciative audience heard and
enjoyed the opening Of the comic
opera season by the Watch Tower
Opera company presenting Gilbert q
Sullivan's catchy "Mikado," under
the direction Of Manager Mackay.
The scenery ard refreshing sur
roundings make this al ideal place
for entertainments. of music al
character; in fact nature could not
have set aside a more appropriate
locality. The theatre reclines on
hillside on the west side of the
Tower in the midst of stately
trees whose limbs watt to and fro
and jingle in the zephyrs overhead,
leaving a little opening for fair
Luna's face above; and the moon got
in on the show last night, all right.
AS for the company, it is very
good in every respect. 1t is COM
posed of ladies and gentlemen-sev
eral of them with regulations the
country over, and the choruses are
well drilled. The costumes are
clean, bright and neat, and the seen
cry is in keeping with the remainder
of the show-frst class. The Mi
kado" was played by Henry Vogel,
"Nanki-Poo" by Harry Davies. a
sweet voiced tenor, ''Ko-Ko" by
George Herbert, finished and up-to-
date comedian, who made an instant
hit with the audience; "Pooh-Bah"
by Harry Allen. clever actor and
good singer, who says he resembles
William j. Bryan; "Pish-Tush" by
II. J. johnson, "Yum-Yum" by Miss
Mary Carriuglon; "Pitii Sing" by
Miss Clcmentinc Francis; "Peep-Bo:,'
by Miss Myrtle Vane; "Katisha" by
Miss Francis Carey. young Chica-
90 lady with n highly cultivated
voice and a captivating presence.
Miss Carey's 'Katishan is artistic,
and her solo singing made her an
immediate favoritc last evening.

night. The opera season has opened
and it is q success from the start.

that they penetrated the

As far back In my childhood as the
dawn OF awakening consciousness,
remember that I have possessed pre-
cocious desire for knowledge. This
premature thirst may be ascribed to
the lone and silent ntsurroundings which
nv mind has ever been in communion
with, or it may be the impulse of those
gifted but fatal faculties which have
pushed me along, as though by unseen
hands, to the brink of my wild destiny.

tary question which arose within me in

pernetrates space with the rspidity of
thought.
The denizen of earth-the human
being-has two universally admitted
parts; the material form and the soul
which inhabits the former. At death,
the spiritual entity is liberated from
its house Of perishable clay and enters
, into far more transcendal state. The
question arises as to what Is the sub
stance or medium which must neces-
sarily act as connecting link be-
tween body and soul.

earth.
These, among other conclusions, to.

4 BIG SLIDE on THE RAILROAD.

One Of the worst slides that has
occurred on the 0. c. & E. fo-
years took place between Elk City
and Pioneer last Monday morning.
The continued rains had loosened
the earth and rock Up, and just Al
ter the 'eastbound train had passed
the whole hillside seemed 10 give
way and sid down onto the track.
The slide consisted principally Of
rock, there being very little dit
with il. The track was knocked all
TO Peices by the huge boulders. and
was buried beneath a great mass Of
debris, some Of the rocks in which
were as large as box cars. The
slide covered the track for about 100
feet and extended 90 feet Up the
hill. The section gangs started TO
work and Supt. Sullivan came over
IN the evening and took personal
charge Of the work. After three
days hard work and the liberal use
OF dynamite the track was cleared
sufficiently to allow the train TO
come through all right this evening.
The express and passengers have
been transferred at the slide since
Mouday. It IS a matter Of great
oongratulation that the morning
train passed without being caught
by the slide. 1t must have occurred
soon after the train passed, and the
jar OF the passing train probably
helped to loosen it. Had that mass
OF rock and earth caught the train
squarely, it would not have left even
a brake beam.
