Al Fishers Opera House on January
q. Efie Ellsner and her company OF
players will be seen for the first time In
this city in s~hakespeare's comedy "As
You Like It," Theatregoers who have
kept in mind the excellence OF Miss Ellis
ler's performance In past seasons will be
interested in witnessing her new achieve
ment. which Is an undertaking requiring
great possibilities. Miss Ellsler IA we'll
known TO the public as a thoroughly dis
clplined and talented actress, whose i'm
presentations have always been both re-
iined and eleyatlng In their influence.
As Rosalind, she fully sustains her dis
tinguished reputation. The production 81
well spoken OF and indeed gives abundant
evidence OF popular success, Much Of the
credit Is undoubtedly owing to the fine
supporting company Of which Frank
Weston and John a. Ellsler are promi-
nent members. All the music Of the play
will be introduced.
Considerable comment has been insti-
gated by the advent In the city OF a
large number OF railroad men. What
they are here for at this particular sea-
son. was somewhat OF n mystery, but the
mater was partially explained yesterday
by the announcement OF the advance In
rates on salmon TO take effect the 9th
inst. Atlantic seaboard rates will be In
creased Is cents per loo ponds. and the
rates to Chicago and common points
have been raised 10 cents per hundred.
Doubtless the boys are making an EFFORT
10 secure all the shipments possible be
fore the new rates take effect. Inquiry
non the cannerymen reveals the fact
that there is now no market for salmon,
and no considerable shipments can be
at present rates. In fact. one OF
the cannerymen emphatically stat q that
the placing on the market OF 80 large a
quantity OF the fall pack OF cheaper grade
OF good. had made Il necessary to carry
over large stocks Of first grade goods.

The second ward has spent a large
amount Of money in improving outside
streets IN the residence portion Of the
city. II is now purposed, by first war;
people, to have some Of the business
streets, which are today In a rotten con-

number Of property n have indicat-
ed a willingness to pay for the improve

Others may take advantage Of the ten
year insiallment plan. In speaking OF
the matter yesterday. Mr.. II. c. Thomp-
son said that he should favor these prop
and that he considered II a mat
ter of prime necessity that the city fix
IN some OF its business thoroughfares.
