Thursday. 1t was perfect in every de-
tail. There were 40 stars in the
troupe-unless we call them all stars.
Every pat Of the performance was
up to high standard. The scenery,
too. was very beautiful and decidedly
realistic. The railroad scenes were
immense. A freight train rolled in
and leisurely took the siGe tracF.
The engineer climbed out Of the cab
with his oil can and began oiling the
machinery. Soon the fast mail was
heard in the distance, coming gradu.
ally nearer, and finally dashed across
the stage at lightning speed, bells
ringing and whistles blowing signals.
AS it crossed the switch target the
!ar was distinctly dlscernible Dy the
audience. The freight cars were
labelled with the familiar initials
"A. T. & S. F." and when they first
came in brought forth storm Of ap-
pause. Many railroad people were
present; the whole Of Wellington is
always glad to see the Santa Fe re-
cognized because Wellington is a
Santa Fe town.
The steamboat scene was also
grand. The boat going down and
passengers escaping in boats was
decidedly realistic.
The thanks Of the people Of Wei.
lington are due to Manager Black fol
providing them with such excellent
amusements. We learned the other
day that Mr.. Blacks aim is to spend
the entire revenue from the opera
house this year in providing frst-class
amusements-not leaving a cent OF
profits for the owner. In this way he
hopes to bring the opera house up tt
a standard which will make it a pay
ing investment later. The VOICE wa,
glad to see his efforts appreciated thai
night. There was large audience
present, though the house was no
full.

A Little Wonder,

B. H. Trucks of Caldwell, was in
Wellington Thursday with his little
engine of which he is the inventor.
This invention has attracted wide
attention and promises to revolution
ize some sorts OF work where power
is needed. Its main difference from
the ordinary engine is its oscillating
piston as against the piston OF lateral
motion of all engines in the past.
Mr.. Trucks tested the little wonder
at the steam laundry Thursday after
noon, attaching it at one of the
steam pipes. 1t worked admirably.
1t is a great eCOnOmizer OF space and
fuel. The model weighs seventy-fve
pounds and only occupies a space of
seventeen inches, and in its test yes
terday made 500 revolutions per
minute, more than twice the number
made by an ordinary engine of any
size. Forty pounds of steam will
develop a five horse power and make
four hundred revolutions per minute.
1t is a beautiful piece of mechanism
in hig ghly polished brass.
Mr.. B. H. Trucks is an old Rock
Island engineer, having been in the
employ Of that company since 1874.
He was born in Davenport, Iowa, in
1912 and is an old soldier.
The Little Wonder" is destined to
work a revolution in motive power
applied to a dynamo in the cab of a
locomotive. 1t will furnish an cleo
tric head light for which railroad
companies have long been aearching
1t can be manufactured for $40 and
with very small boiler, twin gaso
line burner and dynamo will furnish
enough electricity to light hotel o.
private residence. 1t can also bt
applied to the ordinary sewing ma.
chine and is adapted to any purpose
domestic or otherwise, for which
force is needed. In fact the man.
uses to which it can be applied ar,

THIRD WARDi
In the Beginning

Of new year, when the winter sea-
son Of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posure threatens sickness. 1t is then as
well as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: that Hoods Sarsparilla leads
everything in the way Of medicines;
that it taccOmplishes the egreatest cures
In the world; has the largest sale in
the'world, and requires the largest
building in the world devoted exclu-
sively to the preparation Of the pro-
prietary medicine, Does not this con-
clusively prove, il you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine
for you to take?

SCHOOL NOTES.

The demand for school supplies is
so great that $3.50 worth have already
been taken by the pupils. The teach

Whatever may be the saving on

ment it may be confidently said that
it puts quite a task on the teachers,
keeping track of the business. 1t re-

Oklahoma Divorces.

A citizen of Wellington recently
went to Oklahoma City, and just as
he was getting off the train a young
gentleman handed him one of a lot of
circulars he was distributing. 1t
proved to be a circular showing up
the advantages Of Oklahoma as a
place to get a divorce and Oklahoma
City as an especially desirable city to
stop in while obtaining it. The
OKlahOmans are truly enterprising
and believe in advertising. Here is
the way the circular starts out:
THE DIVORCE SEEKERS GUIDE
According to the laws Of Oklahoma
Territory, parties desiring divorces
are only required to reside in the Ter
ritOry three months prior to filing suit
for divorce.
The district couut has exclusive
Jurisdiction in all matters relating to
divorce and alimOny.
NO PUBLICITY.
This court is in session often and
with a residence of four months or
such matter a divorce can be had
upon any statutory ground. Suits of
this character may be conducted and
decree Of separation obtained with alb
sOlutely no publicity. 10 fact di-
vOrces are often obtained without the
candidates nearest neighbors learning
that divorce is sought.
OKLAHOMA CITY.
Oklahoma City is we'll improved in
the way of hotels, business houses and
residences, two and three story brick
and stone blocks being numerous.
Parties desiring divorces will find
0lkahOma City the most convenient
place in the territory to reside while
waiting to get divorce.
The population is estimated at 10000
and business in every line is well rep
resented, hotel accommodations above
the average in every respect while
prices are lower than in most parts
OF the country. Those desiring to
keep house will find every facility for
economical living; house rents are as
reasonable as in any city in America.
Business is good and many who came
here for the sole purpose Of obtain
ing divorce have found business pur-
suits so very inviting that they have
remained and are making money,
The two railroads running into this
city afford easy communication with
the outside world; mail, telegTaphiC
and express facilities are as good as
elsewhere on the continent, real estate
is low and some divorce seekers have
prOfted largely by judiciOus invest
ments in real estate.
Then follows copy of the Okla
hOma divorce laws.
