Patrons of the Grand Opera House
will be delighted on learning that the
polly farce comedy success, Town

IN engagement of half week, COM
mencing with to-night's performance.
It has been entirely rewritten, and
with World, Garnella and Mack as the
steller lights in the cast, it would
seem that no further word of praise of
the production would be necessary.
The girls are pretty and can sing and
dance very cleverly. There are a
number of strong vaudeville features
during the action of the farce, and al
together it is one of the laughing hits
of the present season. Seats are on

The eccentric German comedian,
Louis Mann, will be seen with THE
Telephone Girl" When Mann first
took up German comedy he went at it
in a serious way, so to speak, and made
an art of the work. He picked out real
models to copy from and then began
to burlesque them. To-day he has a
line that is essentially original and one
of the best bits of character comedy on
the stage will be at the Opera House
next Saturday night, April 8th. ''The
Telephone Girl is said to be one of
the most pleasing productions on the

Close behind the trembling mayor

to his leader. At last his patience gave

Two civil War Messages.

1t was a day or two after General
Fitzhugh retired that the telegraph
lines between Carlisle and Harrisburg
were put in condition for service, and
the first two messages that passed
over them gave more than one officer
and civilian a laugh. The Harrisburg
operator was of the army variety and
not noted for choice diction or even
grammatical accuracy, but he could be
terse on occasion. The Carlisle man,
civilian named Noble, probably knew
more of the rules of syntax, but he
was a bit clustered. Here are the mes
sages-and in those days they were of
record, since receiving and sending by
sound was not in vogue:
Query-Has the rebels went?
Answer-They is.
After all there is merit in the inter
change, There was no room for doubt
as to what headquarters at Harris

CRY FOR HELP.
Brooke County Farms in a Bad
Way this Fall.


Wheat Being Ruined-They do not tell
Specifically What is Affecting it,
DIR. Hopkins Proffers aid but Wants
More Definite InformatioD-A Man
May be Sent to Brooke.
The following note appeared in the
Wellsburg Herald few days ago:
The rains of late have missed US
entirely and farmers are having a
tough time blowing. The acreage OF
wheat sown this fall will be consider
ably less than last. The stubble is
filed with eggs and early sown wheat
may all be destroyed before winter.
II anyone at Morgantown or elsewhere
could tell how to get rid Of this little
pest it would be thousands in the
pockets Of the West Virginia farmers.
The attention of the Experiment
Station was called to it and DIR. Hop
kiDs stated in reply that specimens OF
the insects causing the damage should
be sent to him. The notice is too in
definite. Nothing can be told as to
the nature Of the pest. 1t may be
some thing that infests the roots, or
it may injure the stem OF the wheat.
{ In case none of the insects can be
obtained descriptions OF the affected
wheat should be sent in. How it is
injured, the color it assumes when at
tached and every other symptom of
the plants injured. When this comes
in the authorities will have some
thing to go on and they can probably
give some remedy.
AT present it Is too indefinite and
it might be any one of number OF
things. When it Is found out how
the pest works its nature can be de-
termined and the station will take
pleasure in doing all it can to stop the
ravages. If necessary a man will be
sent out to investigate the thing.
DR.. Hopkins wishes us to state that
to stop such things is what the sta
ton is here for and that the services
IF the staff are placed at the disposal
OF the suffering farmers ia Brooke.

ific information.

A NEW SUMMER PLACE.
Keener Durr at the Head of a New
Enterprise.

Pittsburg capitalists, headed by
j. X. Durr who for several years has
been in the hotel business in Pitts
burg, contemplate erecting a fine
summer hotel about 60 miles up the
Monongahela river. The building
is to cost between $50, 900 and $780,
900, and will be equipped with all
modern conveniences. The site
chosen for the new structure is one
of the finest along the river frontage
and overlooks the stream for miles.
The property on which the hotel is
to be built belongs to j. K. Durr,
and comprises about $50 acres. A
race course is one of the features of
the new place and men are already
at work placing the ground in shape.
