Herman the Great company, with a deliciously fascinating repertoire of illusions and feats of necromancy, will be here next Monday, November 29 This is the same famous com
 pany that belonged to the late Herr mann the Great, his graceful and ac- complished widow, Adelaide Herr mann, having kept it together, main taining the high standard of enter tainment furnished by Herman the Great himself. The gap caused by his death has been filled by his nephew, Leon Hermann, who was chosen some years ago as his successor in event of his death. The new Herr mann has succeeded beyond all ex- pectations in taking his uncle's place as a magician. The critics of the large cities where he has appeared this season have been unanimous in pronouncing him the greatest living necromancer. His illusions are new, startling and have flavor of origi- nality that is unique and unsurpassed. He has a new trick or illusion known as the 'iclock trick" that is one of the most. mysHifying feats ever per formed by a magician. In palming he is universally admitted to be even superior to Herman the Great, while
Arizona republican., 1897-11-26

his tricks with cards are beyond un- derstanding. His part of the pro gramme is a brilliant one. Another delightful feature of Herrmann's en- tertainment is the part taken by Ade~ laide Hermann. This plucky wo- man who has done so much to per- petuate the magic name of Hermann will appear in the spectacular dances that have won her popularity in every part of the world. These dances beggar description. They are un. occasionally the most dazzling and be.wildering ever seen. Thousands of colored lights are used, and every color of the rainbow range themselves upon her voluminous and ever moving draperies The house and stage are entirely dark, and therefore every fold of her wonderful draperies has it's tint and sheen of color inten. sified by reason of the fact that her fairy-hke figure is all that can be seeD in the house. In one of these dances, the fire dance" Mime. Hermann ac- tually seems to be the living center of a column of flame and smoke, So realistic are the lights used and the skill with which she manages the mass of gauge in which she is clothed

A RURAL BURGLARY.
Strange Discrimination of an Un-
 known Tihef.

A singular burglary was commit ed at the residence of MT. Openshaw. near the Nephi school house, last Wednesday, Late in the afternoon the whole family, including Miss Duoglass, a school teacher were away from home. When they returned it was found that gold watch belong ing to Miss Douglass had been stolen. A gold ring hanging on a nail a half dozen inches away had not been dis turbed. A small jewel case on shelf near by with a key in the lock had not been opened and the contents of couple of trunks in the same room had been in no way disturbed.
 The only other theft was curiously that of about twenty-five pounds of flour, to reach which the thief had been obliged to remove several arti cles. There was also in the kitchen large quantity of lately baked bread, but none was taken. Late in the af- ternoon the neighbors saw tramp who Is described as past middle age, with red hair mixed with gray, pass along the road. He was carrying large roll of blankets and other pack ages, so that it would seem strange that he should further laden himself with four. He was traced about six miles toward Casa Grande and then the trail was lost
 Miss Douglass regrets the loss of the watch very greatly, since it was presented her by her father several years ago. It is gold hunting case lady's watch. The inscription, gro My Daughter, Nov 8, 1884," is en- graved on the inner case On the outer are the initials of Miss Doug lass, ''M. B. D."

How MatrimOny SweIIs and Perpetuates
the Pension Roll.

How MatrimOny Swells and Perpetuates
the Pension Roll.
Pension Commissioner Evans sat at
his desk the other day figuring on pen
siuns as they concern generations yet
unborn. The Declaration of InGepend-
ence is 121 years old. The country is
still discnarging it's debt of gratitude
in the material form of pensions to-
ward those who sit" for it. Of course
there are 10 surviving soldiers of the
revolution. There are, however, sur
viving widows. The commissioner
was speculating on what that fact has
to do with the future OF the present
pension list. He has now upon his roll
of monthly recipients 9S3,62S names.
Before the end of the current year the
grand army of pensioners will pass the
i, 200 900 mark. 1t is fair deduction
that ninety years hence the govern
ment of the United States will still be
paying pensions for the civil war of
lS61-5.
The army of George Washington
was squad compared TO the 100000
and more enrolled in the north to
crush secession. 1t suffered privatiops
calculated TO sap vitality, but the wi
dows of those parties of Valley Forge
are still drawing pensions. Unless the
twentieth century women differ much
from the nineteenth century women
there will be a roll of honor in the year
