NEXT WEEK AT THE OPERA HOUSE
FAUST.

What strange power is it that draws
the crowds to see Faust" Is it to see
the devil personated in the flesh? Is
1t to satisfy a curiosity as regards the
personal appearance OF the devil de-
lineated by mortal; or is it the moral
OF Faust" where the king OF Williams,
old Mephisto, Esprit OF evil)is triumph
ed over by the cross OF "Earth's Re
deemer?"
Faust" as it will be produced by
Porter j. White and his capable COM
pany has lost none OF the grandeur
which makes it an event worthy of
special notice in the dramatic world.
Too often a previous years success is
reproduced the following season on a
very meagre scale, seeking TO thrive
on the prestige of its name alone,
with weaker cast, faded scenery and
sOiled costumes. This however, is not
on the plane of Mr.. Whites manager,
Alvin A. Jack. All the scenery, pro-
perties, costumes, electrical and me-
chanical effects with the Porter j.
White company are brand new. The
cast has been selected with great care,
and In no way In fact has the great
production deteriorated from drama
tic and spectacular standpoint; it is one
OF unbroken excellence from the time
the curtain rises upon Faust" labora-
tory until it closes out OF view Mar
guerite's final redemption. Detroit
| Free Press and the New York Mirror
mention this company as SURPRISINGLY
good.
Faust will be presented February
IL, and our patrons can rest assured
that the performance will be just the
same as is given by this company 10
large cities at high prices, while on
this occasion the prices will be in ac-
cord with the times, 80 and so cents
for reserved seats (which should be Sc
cured in advance.) This company
carry all effects, scenery and general
properties necessary to produce the
play in small cities. Mr.. White has
played Mephisto over 1000 times and is
guaranteed perfection.

VIII A. Knott Receives the Appointment
Considerable Soreness Engendered.
Belding has been favored with an
appointment under the new county ad-
ministration, but there are large
number OF applicants for the deputy
sheriff Office who are sore at heart at
the way it went. The thing has hung
fire for some time and it was current
topic for several days that none of the
aspirants would receive the place as
sheriff Jordan had concluded to leave
Bedding off the list.
Mr.. Knott had made no hustle for
the place while others had worked
hard, pulled wires and had politicians
OF supposed influence interceeding, but
all to no purpose. 1t was brought to a
head in peculiar way and Republi-
ing the man. Sheriff Jordan was in
McElroy's barber shop getting shaved
few days ago and attorney Chas. X.
Foote stepping in was asked to name
some good man for the position. Mr..
Foote suggested that Will Knott was
the best and most available man in the
city, and Democrat without spot or
blemish. McElroy coincided with
Foote and before Jordan left the city
he had an interview with Knott which
settled the matter. Will received the
appointment yesterday and his many
friends are pleased to know it.
The names of those who are turned
down are A. w. Richmond, Oscar Syl-
vester, A. J. Osborne, Henry FREELY,
Bub Stone, w. |. Wood and George
Divine.

Should Receive Government Assistance.
Secretary of State.

If the condition of affairs in the lower
Mississippi valley is half as bad as
reported government should make an
effort to assist in affording relief.
Saturdays dispatches stated that two
members of the Memphis relief COM
mittee had started for Washington to
ask for S25, 900 to be used in buying ra-
tons This same dispatch stated that
starvation is confronting $4,000 people,
who have been driven from their
homes in the lowlands along the river.
Their recently planted crops are ruined,
their homes have either been swept
away or practically ruined. The pros
pect of more serious damage being
done was said to be threatening and
later dispatches confirm that view.
The situation appeals forcbly to the
government for the reason that the
people suffering on account of the flood
are to quite a degree the victims of o
ruthless policy in which they had no part
and for which they are in no way re-
sponsibe while the government is at
least in part. We refer to the destruc-
ton of the forests about the sources of
the Mississippi and its tributaries To
this denudation much of the extreme
severity of the flood may be attributed.
This being so it appears that the gov
eminent has responsibility in the
matter which it cannot justly avoid.
Throughout the country the govern
ment has esta blished an elaborate sys-
TEN for warning the people against
storms, drouths, cyclones, etc. And
along the coast has established life
saving stations to rescue the ship
wrecked But along the Mississippi
are no life saving stations. nothing to
warn the people that floods are to
overlap bounds which were never eX-
ceeded before and against which ne
precaution hitherto taken can avail
Not only should government aid the
sufferers but take more vigorous meas

THE GRANT MONUMENT.
History OF Erection and Description Of 1t As
Now Appears.

With military display such as has
not been witnessed in this country
since the close of the war. the remains
of the greatest soldier America has
produced will be permanently en-
shrined. on the anniversary of his
birthday. April o. at the Riverside
drive. Here, among magnificent sur
rouMdings, overlooking such a scene of
natural grandeur as is to be found in
no other part of the world in close
proximity to a great metropolis. the
remains of Ulysses S. Grant will be
placed in the splendid tomb which the
people have raised as tribute 10 his
genius, write a correspondent in the
New York Journal.
No other great captain who has
carved his name on the tablets Of the
worlds history rests in so grand q
mausoleum No warrior of modern OF
ancient times sleeps his last sleep amid
surroundings so imposing, so impress
sive, so superb.
The Grant monument, which today
stands practically complete, is not
alone a splendid architectural achieve
ment. 1t occupies a site which no
great city of Europe or America can
equal for natural beauty. Selected by
Mrs IT, S. Grant few days after the
death of her husband. it stands without
a parallel anywhere on earth as an UNI
equalled site for the last resting place
of an illustrious chieftain.
The most celebrated tomb in Europe
is that of Napoleon. in the Church OF
the Invalides on the banks of the
Seine It's interior in its simple dignity
bears some resemblance to the tomb of
Grant. and the sarcophagus which
holds the body is much alike in each.
But the Church of the InValides is on
low. fiat ground. surrounded on all
sides with the buildings of Paris.
The tomb of the Napoleon of the New
World, however. stands alone, on an
eminence overlooking a majestic river
1t can be seen from great distances.
1t dominates the landscape. On a bluff
which rises from the banks of one of
the great rivers of the world, it is OBJ

The Way They Lcok at 1t.

The report that diseased cattle killed
in Massachusetts are being sold fol
food in Rhode Island is calculated, very
properly, to arouse considerable indig-
ration where the sale of quart Oh
milk from a tuberculous COW would ex-
cite comparatively little comment. Peo-
pie in this State have not forgotten the
feeling of revulson occasioned by the
report that cattle condemned on ac-
count of tuberculosis We're sold to cen
sumers in Portland. This feeling re-
suited in the passage of a stringent
law requiring the carcasses of such
dead animals to be injected with kero-
sene and Immediately disposed of. Such
a law seems to be needed in Massachu-
sets to set suspicion at rest if nothing
more. And yet the danger from eat.
ing meat of cattle killed on account OF
tuberculosis is very slight. People
usually have the meat cooked before
eating it and the cooking will kill the
germs. They do not, however, usually
cook their milk before drinking it anG

Yet unjust wrong pleads not in vain,
She finds response in every heart.
