There is much interest manifested in the
beautiful operatic spectacle Of "Zephra"
which will be given at the Opera House
the week of Jan. IL, under the auspices OF
the Young Peoples Society of the Univer-
salist Church. The opera has scored
distinct success in all the cities in which
it is produced and there is every reason to
believe that the production in this city
will be on grander scale than any anna
teur performance ever given here.
Rehearsals are being held and every
thing is progressing most satisfactorily
for a grand performance. The story of
Zephra is as follows: King Decius, the
storm king, while passing. through his
kingdom one day, discovers in the hut of
an old witch beautiful orphan girl,
whom he adopts, and giving her the name
of Neyera, DEGREES that she shall succeed
him to his crown and kingdom. Between
the clans of King Decius and Prince Juna,
who are both subjects of Zephra, the
Queen of Myth, there has existed for years
q bitter feud, but Juna, being true type
of noble manhood, endeavors to effect
reconciliation with the naughty Decius;
but each overture Is repulsed, until at last
the doughty Prince dons disguise, enters
the storm kings castle determined to so
ingratiate himself into his affections as to
win his favor. He fails in this, but in
stead meets the beautiful Neyera who has
now grown to be handsome maiden. He
wins the promise of her hand in marriage,
goes back to his own country, and at the
grand annual fete of the Queen, at which
time are held all the dances, games and
revels Of the Queens subjects, he presents
himself at court and demands the hand OF
Neyera in marriage. Enraged at this
Decius banishes away the Princess to the
ice caves of Northland. Juna is acquainted
Of this by the fairy godmother of Neyera.
He hastens to Zephra, obtains assistance
from her, and after many perilous at
tempts, rescues the Princess from her cap
tors and reveals the peridy of Decius to
the Queen, who banishes him forever from
her presence.

SO fast that the watchman did not see
us pass. although he heard the terrible
report and thought that the tunnel had
caved in. When we reached the little
town of S. we were going about $50
miles an hour, having lost some of our
velocity. OF course, only a few of the
cars kept the track, and they all had
hot boxes and fat wheels when we
finally came to a stand. 1t was 4:03 when
we entered the tunnel, and, allowing
a minute from that time till the explo-
sion took place, we ran the eight miles
in Just forty-six seconds, according to
my watch. Old II lost her side rods and
connecting rods and two of her tires and
had her smoke stack carried off by the
wind pressure. but she was able to pull
in on the side track, and just at that
moment the operator received a tele-
gram from O., six miles the other
side of the tunnel, which read:
"Caboose No. GA and two smoking cars
just flew by, leaving boards in the air
which are still falling. Rails are red
hot from the friction

ever made, and 1 don't want to break

even a smile, the old man crawled up on

ready to pull out with the limited.-Bos-

FASTEST RUN ON RECORD
An Old Engineer Tells Of the Great
Time He Made on a Western Road


Western roads have recently set up so
many claims as to their ability to make
fast runs and break the record, it is
possible the following story, told by an
old engineer, of how he once broke all
records and pulled a freight at the rate
of CTS miles an hour, may end the con-
troversy for the time being. Really

the drivers of the huge locomotive he

try. I was hauling freight then and

cars and four of them were loaded with
powder. was little afraid dg pow
der, and was pleased to note that the
cars containing the explosive were near
the rear of the train. We stopped on a
pass and then pulled out and let her go
for all she was worth, so that we could
get over the tunnel summit. The top of
the hill was just at the entrance to the
tunnel, and as the track was not in very
good shape In the tunnel shut off steam
and eased her up a little after getting
started down the hill. That was where
l made a mistake, for ten of the cars had
broken loose after the engine and first
eleven cars had passed over the sum

over the knuckle, and they came down
after us fifty miles an hour. Just about
the middle of the tunnel they struck
us with terrible force, and then 1t was

the powder exploded and my engine and
all the cars that were left shot out of the
tunnel just like wads out OF big gun.
