A Famous Quartette.

The ninth entertainment in the pop
ular course will be given by the Of
tumwas Quartette company of Chicago
at the Lyceum theater Wednesday
evening. The following notice of the
company is taken from the Piesburg
Dispatch of May 3. 1899: THE attrac-
ton at the Masonic hall in the Belle
view Lyceum course last evening was
the Ottumwas of Chicago, male quar-
tette, assisted by Miss Jessie Klein
man. That this company of entertain
ers delighted the audience was evil
denced from the fact that the program
of eleven numbers was more than dou-
bled. The quartette is strong. indi-
vidually or in ensemble work, the lat
ter being characterized by delicate
shading, crisp intonation, and organ
like tones. Miss Kleinman is de-
lightful reader, and is one of the best
stOry-tellers on the lyceum platform"

"King Of the Opium Ring"

The Characterization play, King
of the Opium Rims" which will be the
attraction at the Academy of Music
the last three days of this week, comes
with the stamp of approval of New
York press and public, before whom
it was presented for an engagement of
six weeks, testing the capacity of the
immense auditorium of the Academy
of Music at each performance. Chas.
r. Blaney and Charles A. Taylor, au-
thors of the play, dwelt with the dra-
matte race for some time. and tell an
interesting and thrilling story of life
in San FranciscO's famous Chinatown.
The opium ring was the most pictur-
esque grouping of dramatic characters
ever known in American history. A
mysterious circle, bound by oath in a
ring Of defiance, for twenty years a
reign of terror to the custom houses of
the Pacific coast.
Scenlcal1y. the production is claimed
to be one of stupendously marvellous
grandeur. presenting a Kaleidoscope
view of oriental magniticence.

say that the thrifty farmer will not per init these noxious species to ripen their seeds on his land, but such prevention in a practical way is impossible, for even if all his fields could be cleared, there would grow patches along beside ditches, roads and hedgerows and these would be ready at the end of the season to scatter their seed on the cultivated field. The birds that have mentioned eat more or less weed seed during all the year, even when insects are abundant.
 But the greatest and best work extends from early autumn till late spring, and is very noticeable in the dead of winter. Who of us has not noticed in winter, even when only the the tops of the weeds were just above the snow these active little creatures looking over every stem in sight to secure their food and help the farmer in his next seasons work, and improve the quality of the grass that he cuts on his very best meadows.

 gather the seeds of the smsrt weed, oi which it is very fond. It is said that the
 crow blackbird will eat from 30 to 5(
 seeds of smart weed, at & meal, while tht

Dear Sir: H. M. Hooker & Co.,, Coop erstown, N. r., have sold Devoe paint for 42 years. D. T. McGown, of that firm built house in 's5 and painted De- voc, of course. The paint lasted ten years.
 A year or two later, neighbor built 6 house, and painted it lead and oil. The neighbours house was repainted twice in the same time.
 This looks as if tue neighbor's house was painted three times in eight or nine years, and McGown's once in ten years. We are not quite sure-we tell the tale as it comes to us.

We are now nearing Santa Barbara where we are to stop for about an hour and where I may be able to put letter ashore. It is o'clock and growing dark. I have been on deck constantly since leaving Redona and am not 8 bit seasick. am in my state room now which has three bertha, of which have the middle one, my companion the upper and nice looking lady the lower one. am told we eat breakfast at Port Hartford to- morrow Sunday morning) and that the boat stays there until noon and that for 50 cents we can go to the San Luis ODispo Mission.

After little got quiet and got to sleep again and did not awaken until about 5 o'clock and found the boat in the harbor of Port Hartford. I felt g little limp but all right and have now, g little after 8 o'clock, had an excellent breakfast. The table is good and well served.

Francisco, Friday evening, remaining there until Monday morning. Saturday was given up to sight seeing. First we took car to go to the Preside, which is the camping place of the army on this side of the country. It being Saturday we did not see ss much of the drilling as we would have seen on any other day except Sunday, but the ride by trolley and cable cars was something wonderful to me and they take you the longest dis tances and give you the greatest number Of transfers of any place I was eyer in.
 We reached the Presidio at 10 o'clock, saw what was to be seen of the drilling, then took car to go to Cliff House, one of the places to which tourists in San
 Francisco always should go, it is said. We left the Presidio about 12 o'clock,
 from one line to another of cable cars and finally to 8 steam car for more than ! an hour and all for five cents. The Cliff House is on one point of the Golden Gate, l the entrance to San Francisco Bay and Point Benito on the other. The celebrat- ed 'Seal Rocks" are at the base Of the cliff upon which stands the Cliff House.
 It is interesting to watch the seals clam
 bering around and to hear their barking, | to one to whom the sight and sound is l strange. We sat down on the rocks on I the coast of the Pacific and watched the | surf until we thought it time to start for Golden Gate Park. The Park is unlike any park have ever seen because of it's
 tropical verdure. It contains over one
 thousand acres and is laid out in the most
 tasteful and charming manner. It is To.
 cated on the shore of the bay and nearly ! all semi-tropical fruits grow luxuriantly l in it, trees and shrubs of many climates growing together in wondrous beauty.
 We walked great deal in it, spent some ! time in the museum, drank tea and ate
 cake in Japanese Tea Garden, then found our way out of the nearest point
 to car which we took and rode over "Nob Hili," a.place of elegant residences
 occupied by multi-millionaries and from
 there back to our hotel.
 Everything in San Francisco leads to
 Market street and it is exceedingly easy ! to get around here. The cars in some portions Of the city are electric but up and down the hills on either side of Mar.
 ket the lines are all cable. Surely noth- l ing but it's magnificent harbor could ever have made San Francisco. It's
 heights and it's depths in every direction
 are wonderful and sometimes dreadful. We sat outside sometimes and sometimes ! on the seat in front of the cable man as
 often as we could. Sometimes l shivered
