Joe OFT, the well-llnown and popular
young eccentric comedian, will appear
at the Auditorium, Monday, Feb. 3rd,
in s'The Star Gazer," which was writ
ten for him by Franklyn W. Lee
Coming from a distinctively theatrical
family, and schooled in the art of com
edy since childhood, he has risen step
by step, passing the various stages, un-
til, having added to all his inherent
talents and resources and originality
of execution that is after the style OF
no other comedian living or dead, he
stands today one of the cleaverest ex'
ponents of eccentric comedy. In his
line, he is sui generis, and in the appli'
cation of the rules of art he is a law
unto himself, so that he is so much of q
novelty that the public welcome him
as change from the routine of tradi
ton. In 1.-The Star Gazer," he has
abundant opportunity for the exercise
of his talents and Prof. Jupiter Mar;
will emphasize his rights to the popu
larity he has won throughout the
country.

Lancaster is in the throes of a sensa-
tion, the outcome of which is likely to
cause considerable trouble for certain
officials of that city and county. IL
seems that large cooking main was
in progress just outside the city limits
and the mayor and sheriff got tip as
to the location, and going out with u
squad of policemen, pulled thirty of
the participants. When it came to trial
the Mayor assessed a fine of IS and
costs, amounting to 81. All the
strangers paid their fines, but when it
came to the Lancaster boys they kick
ed on the costs and demanded to know
how his honor arrived at the amount.
This caught the Mayor dead to rights
and he offered to refund the costs to
those'fned, but they refused the money,
prefering to get even in another man.

matter, and it is expected that the in

Kinsey Wheeler died Tuesday morn

Wheeler was born in Pennsylvania,

IN THE OIL FIELDS.

SIsTERsvILLE. Jan. 80. Quite large
amount of excitement was created in
the city last evening when the report
reeched here that the Bullman had
been drilled a little during the after
noon and was making 60 barrels an
hour
The price of leases within four and
FIVE miles of this we'll have taken big
jump and it is almost impossible to get
one for love or money. One reason for
this is that there haye been some spec
ulators out there Offering outrageous
prices for territory, and as conse-
quence the men who would develop
the territory if they could get it are
frozen out
Another report, received this morn
ing, from the back of the county, in
regard to- the, yBYle welt, also helped
the oil men to get big grin on The
Kyle welt was also drilled deeper last
might aud today isreported to be max
ing fifty barrels an hour This we'll is
some distance from the Bullman, but
many are of the opinion that both wells
are producing from the same pool, and
that there will be continuous string
of wells clear through in a short time.
There is big lot of new work being
started out there which will soon de-
termine the worth of the new field.
The we'll being drilled by the Carter
Oil Co., on the E. Wells farm south o.
the city, by which it is intended to tes
all the sands, will reach the Berea to

found in the Berea, the we'll will b'

The fascination of bicycle riding is

on account of the danger Of over excr-

take it up for improvement OF health

be the most careful are generally the
ones who overdo it. Entering violently

There is no other exercise that is So

He Believes Democrats.

The withdrawal of B. w. Badger from
the peoples silver ticket is met with
pretty stiff unfavorable criticism at Mel
hart. AS the Endorsement by that GEN
tleman by the peoples silver party was
merely a matter of political courtesy,
wholly unsought by the recipient. there
was certainly NO occasion demanding
Mr.. Badgers resignation. 1t is general
ly understood that the move was made
under the promise of democratic sup
port, and it YVES certainly unwise. The
of the peoples silver party here
are general in their comment. thinking
that Mr.. Badger ought to be dropped
from the slate, and left alone with his
democratic supporters. He ought to
know better than to believe Il democrat.
and after the coming election he prob
ably will.

Blood

When a horse is poor in flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. If a house is cold
new furniture won't warm it.
If your strength is easily ex-
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft; if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. 1t is not so
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich nor will
bitters, nor iron tones, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
you want something that will
make rich blood.
SCOTS EMULSION of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos-
phites is the best remedy in the
world for enriching the blood.
We have prepared a book telling you
more about the subject. Sent Free.

LOST IN SMOKE.
II. w. Lambs General Store at Nom
arch Destroyed by Fire.

Last Sunday night occurred IA fright
Jul hire at Monarch, which destroyed
the large general store, hall and all out
buildings belonging to r. W. Lamb.
The store building contained the post
office and telephone office. The hall
was used by the Patriots of America
and Daughters of the Republic. Moth
ing was saved but a piano and one mail
sack and so swift was the advance of the
flames that John Lamb and VIM. Mat
thews who slept upstairs over the store.
had to escape at the roof IN their night
clothes.
On Monday morning Robert Lamb
came to Neihart bearing the startling
information. He had saved nothing ex-
cept the clothes on his back. The
store was partially insured. but the loss
to Mr.. Lamb will be $500 to $4,000.
He has reopened the post Office in the
Monarch hotel and the secret societies
will meet in the TOWNSHIP office for the
present.
X w. Lamb has been in this west
ern country since 1888. He first work
ed on a ranch for F. A. Preston. then
located on Cora creek. In 1890 he
went to Monarch and ran a livery stable
for Charles Martin, which occupied his
attention for about Il year. He is fru-
gal, Industrious, full of courage, and
makes a business of driving his business.
He has grown up with the growth of
section, and is universally esteemed.
His word is as good as cash and his
promises as true as preaching. He has
built up from the ground, having ex-
perienced as many hard knocks as any
man of his age. But he never quits.
and even now he is planning to build
upon a bigger scale than ever. Such a
man is trustworthy and commendable,
and his friends are not backward in
lending him assistance. We are sorry
his loss but hope the future will be
more propitious to him.

A moment later Jake was lying

him with n paw planted firmly on
his chest, the other slightly lifted

while its hot breath was exhaled in
to Jake's face.
The mans first impulse was to
hold down his chin tightly, to pre-
vent his throat being torn open,
while he cautiously felt for his knife.
He found his knife, and as he drew
it a slight grating sound caused the
lion to rebound and utter a
which Jake know was a call to the
other lion.
Fearing to make a motion of es-
cape or resistance, the man moved
his hand back in tho snow in search

the fall. His finger touched the
stock. He cautiously pulled it down
by his side, and, still looking his
captor straight in the eyes, slowly
turned the rifle till its muzzle faced

heart, and it sank on Jake's feet.
