! lnee and night, a very superior dra-
matte treat The play owes its creation
to Mr.. Russ Whytal, young author Of
great promise, whose work secured a
remarkably encouraging hearing at The
I Fifth Avenue Theatre last season.
For Fair Virginia has certainly re-
ceived more than ordinary attention
in all the cities where it has been pre-
scented this season, and the verdict
everywhere must be a source of deep
qualification TO one who has secured a
firm position for his initial work.

Mr. Robert Downing. in Saumets great
play, The Gladiator" Mr.. Downing

talented Eugene Blair. The piece will
be staged in a manner seldom attempt
ed in a legitimate play.
THE STARS WILL RETURN.
The New York Stars, a vaudeville
company composed of European anu
American features. will be the strong
attraction offered by Manager Feinler
at his Grand Opera House the first
three nights of this week. A better
show than the Stars will be hard to
find this season, as each and every art
list has been selected with care, and
features from the Old World have been
procured to give the public new and
up to date novelties. Ami and Ino, the
female flying meteors, are two young
ladies who do marvellous trapeze act.
1t is their first appearance in America
and were engaged at an enormous sal
airy and came direct from the Crystal
Palace, London. Mile Florizelle, an
other European feature, is a marvel in
her particular line. Her contortion act,
upon a glass plate hung in the dome of
the theatre, is a novelty and she is the
only artist ever attempting this has-
ardous act.

killed q sheep which was ont Of sight on
the other side Of tho fence. He looked
up the owner OF the sheep and told him

farmer told him that it was really

times Of free wool, but that he would
charge him the same price for the sheep
that he had gotten for o number a few

WEST vIRelllIA's LOSSES

Senator s. B. E1kins, in his speech be-
fore the Petersburg convention, gave
these startling figures:

Reduction In price Of coal caused
by cheap coal from Canada,
which lessened the prices Of
coal. Since tho passage ofthe
Wilson bill tho price Of coal in
West Virginia has declined
from TOTO 10 cents per ton, the
production for three years has
been about 80. 0o0of tons, max

THE SCHEMES OF PIERCE.

Yankton and Norfolk Will Probably Not

YANKToN, s. D., Jan. 7.-But three
more days are allowed for the English
creditors of J. T. M. Pierce to get pos.
session of the grade and right-of-way
of the Yankton and Norfolk railway,
and it is believed that the transfer will
not be made. This is very gratifying
to the people Of Yankton, who have not
had much faith in the promises made
sby them for the completion of the road.
The fact that wealthy corpora
ton has offered to buy the grade and
finish the road is another cause for
congratulation, and should the English
syndicate fail to complete their con.
tract there is every reason to believe
that the road and the bridge across the
Missouri will be completed in the early
spring. Pierce's creditors have invest
ed here largely in city property, and
seemed disposed to improve their inter.
ests, and it is announced as q reason for
not pushing railroad matters that they
are dissatisfied with the work of their

HELENA, Mon, Jan. THE year
1895 was the greatest cattle year Mon
tana has had so far as the total receipts
for their sale are concerned. Revised
figures of the business done during the
year, prepared in the offices Of the Mon.

give the total receipts at $l1. .OO3, $50.
This exceeds the next highest year
1S94-by nearly 81 100000. The ship.

HAVE ONLY HAVANA LEFT,
Spaniards Have Lost Control of the Bat
ance of Cuba.

spaniards Have Lost Control of the BAL
ance of Cuba.
HAVANA, Jan. Havana has spent
day of nervousness and anxiety and
has been in hourly apprehension Of an
attack by the insurgent army or part
OF it. Saturday the bands commanded
by Nunez and Bermudez were seen at
Managua, a village not more than IL
miles from Havana. Many hundreds
of non-combatant inhabitants of the
island have come to Havana to await
the passing of the storm. Still more
have sent their wives and families here
as q safe refuge. This class Of the pop
ulation is in q state of utter consterna-
ton and dismay and spreads an infec-
tious spirit Of panic through all other
circles. The authorities no longer make
the slightest concealment Of the serious
view they take of the situation and
there are some who do not hesitate to
rail at the Spanish generals and the
troops and make bitter criticisms Of
them.
Failed to Stop Gomez.
The Spanish authorities have main
tained Gordon of military forces run
ming from Havana to the town Of Bata-
bano, on the south coast, since the
invasion of Matanzas province by the
insurgents, beyond which they hoped
to prevent the advance of the destroy
ing columns of their enemies. This
Gordon has proven no more effective
than was the line laid to keep the rebels
out OF Santa Clara province. The line
was broken by the forces under Gomez
and the main body of the insurgents
has passed into the province of Pinar
del Rio and are now overrunning that
province with fire and sword. The
passage was effected near Batabano at
Pozo Redondo, and Gomez burned the
village of Gabriel on the way and par
TALLY destroyed the town of Guira
Melena and Of Alquizar. The work of
destruction in Havana province has
been as complete as was that in Matan-
zas and the sugar lands of Pinar del
Rio are fast being put into the same
desolate condition In effect the whole
island Of Cuba outside of the city of
Havana is now
In the Hands Of the Enemy.
They have not annihilated the Spanish
forces, nor have they routed the whole
army in any single pitched battle, yet
the situation is completely in their
hands, and so completely have they
outgeneraled the Spanish that, to all
appearances, Campos' army might as
well be in Spain for any check it puts
upon the movements of Maxine
Gomez's army. The latter's progress
has been accompanied with continual
accessions to his forces by volunteers
and he has captured enough horses,
rifles and artillery to add immensely to
the effective strength of his men.
There is little doubt really felt here
that he will get as much or more SYM
pathy i'll Pinar del Rio than he did in
Santa Clara and Matanzas, and the
general fear here is now that, after
sweeping over Pinar del Rio, he will
come upon Havana from the west, CO.
operating in an attack with the forces
of the insurgents which have been east
of Havana for several days past.

ton, declared the day q holiday. All
business was suspended and the build.
ings along the principal streets were
decorated with the national colors.
The day was ushered in by the ring
ing of the bells and the sounding of all
the steam whistles in the city.
Had a Big Street Parade.
At II o'clock the street parade, under
the direction of Grand Marshal Burton,
moved from the corner of Main and
Third South streets. The parade in.
cluded General Penrose and staff, fed.
eral troops and the national guard of
Utah, members of the legislature,
civic societies and citizens.
While the parade was taking place,
, the artillery on Arsenal hill was firing
salute of 45 guns. Acting Governor
Richards, as master of ceremonies,
called the house to order and prayer
was offered by Wilfred Woodruff, pres.
ident of the Mormon church. He
prayed for the welfare of the nation, to
which Utah will ever be loyal, and for
the prevalence of justice, mercy, truth
and peace, SO that every soul might be
free to worship as he sees fit.
Sang the Star spangled Banner.
The Star Spangled Banner was rem
dered by q chorus of 1000 voices. After
this the proclamation of the president
of the United States granting statehood
to Utah was read by ex.Delegate> Jo-
seph L. Rawlins.
The oath of Office was administered
to the governor and state officers by
Chief Justice Zane of this state. Gov
ernor Wells then delivered his inaugu-
raj address
The inaugural ball was held at the
Salt Lake theater in the evening.
