"WHY SMITH LEFT HOME"
viii Be Explained at the Margaret The
alter Wednesday Night


"Why Smith Left Home" the Anglo
American success which is to be pre-
sented at the Margaret theater one
night, Wednesday, December 81, is one
of the cleverest farces on the stage to-
day. 1t involves no shady characters
in its dramatis personae. The charac-
terization is excellent. One new type
bound to be reproduced time and again
is the naughty cook who rejoices in
the name Lavinia' and is a Holland
dame, a travesty on one of the most
eXtravagant absurdities of recent time,
and is the secretary of the Ladies'
Cook union.
why Smith Left Home" Is a case
of too many relatives and friends on
the side of Mrs. Smith Smith is an
example of a long-suffering type. His
woes have been shared many times by
male humanity.
The management has supplied the
production with cast that will COM
pare with anything seen in this city
in similar work. 1t includes such clev-
er players as Frank Tannehill, jr.,
Eugene Redding, c. J. Williams, Fred
erick Roberts, Gilbert Gardner. Carina
Jordan, Nellie Maskell, Jennie Engle.
Lotte Williams Salter, Rose Hubbard,
Belle Chamberlin and Lizzie May u
mer.
The number of really good farces is
extremely limited, when one comes to
think of it. and the addition of first
class fun-producer is more welcome on
that account The Smith play is the
third successful comedy Mr.. Broad
hurst has written. 1t is said to be
better than either 1.-THE Wrong Mr..
Wright" or What Happened to
jones'
There is no mistaking the humor of
why Smith Left Home" It's jokes
are pointed and barbed, and one cam
not misunderstood their meaning. The
mother-in-law question is handled
without gloves, and the satire of the
Cook Ladies' Union" is very anus
ing. Those who like cIean-cut comedy
with plenty of sharp, whip-like dia-
logue, but no vulgarity. doubtless will
find much to delight them in why

A Handsome Market.

A much-notced feature of the Christ
mas holiday trade in this city, and one
that drew praise from all who observ-
ed it, was the elaborate display of
meats, fowl and green groceries shown
by the Montana Meat company during
the last days of the week. Perhaps it
is not exaggerating to say that so
complete and finely arranged trade dis
play of this sort had never before been
seen in the state. Unfortunately for
appearances, but not for the success
which naturally resulted from this eff
fort, the crowds of customers We're I'M
able to restrain themselves from de-
spelling the exhibit by their heavy
purchases. The store was too at
tractive to be passed by.

FROM MAYOR COLLINS.

MED. LODGE. KANSAS, April 10, '99.
At the city election held Monday,
April 3rd. was elected mayor, and
take the opportunity this circumstance
offers to say few words touching my
administration of the office, etc. l
may collide with the prejudice or con-
veniences Of some. and they may think
me too particular, but 1 wish to say
that my acts will not be personal and
1 will think only of the general good.
Ii I could realize my wishes we
would have as nice little city as there
is in the West; but since 1 can not do
all would wish, yet shall do all 1
can to reach the best results possible.
But the mayor and council cannot do
all-they must be assisted by the peO-
pie. each one of whom ought to be as
anxious to improve and beautify the city
as though they were officers. We must
have clean streets and alleys. This is
public property; we must have clean
backyards-that is private property and
the owner ought to have sufficient
pride to keep it clean and IN a sanitary
condition. Streets are q part of the
property town lots adjoin and ought to
be as carefully watched and guarded as
your yard-rubbish kept off, weeds
moved and trees planted. Our coun.
ty commissioners and school board
have done their part in the way of
planting trees and taking care Of the
court house and our school house, now
let US do our best to beautify the city
property. Fellow citizens, we are here
to stay, the movers are gone. Let this
year show more public improvements,
more determination to make homes,
than any year that has passed. The
town does not make the man. nor the
pleasant home, but the man makes
both. Lot it be the fashion to haye q
nice homo, 80 that tho slouchy and
careless will feel lonesome and try to
do better. W. COLLINS.
Mayor.

Coldwater Star: r. H. Frederick
passed through town on last Friday on
his way to his new homo in southwest
Barber county. For few years past
Mr.. Frederick has been living near
Protection, this county, but he recent
ly decided to move with his family to
the vicinity of Deerhead where he and
j. w. DeGeer, his brother-ln-law and
business partner, will continue to de-
vote their attention to sheep raising,
an industry which they have proven to
be profitable in this country. They
still have six or seven hundred sheep
in this county but these will soon be
taken to the Barber county ranch. We
regret to lose Mr.. Frederick from
among our people, but he is not 80 far
away but what he and our stockmen
can still visit and keep in full touch
with each other.
