Primrose & DOckstader.
The attraction at the Opera House
on Thursday, October oath, with their
famous company of reliable minstrel
stars is contingent away above what
the public has been in the habit of
getting; but they are what they have
ever been, the best and most original
typifiers of black-face minstrelsy, and
il is needless to add that they have
been more than successful in this, their
chosen line. This is accounted for by
the fact that they have spared neither
time or money to give the public the
best that could be obta ED in all their
lines of performance. Theirs is the
only minstrel company that plays first
class theatres only and is classed with
the leading lights of the American
stage. This year the company has
such top liners as Geo. Primrose Lew
Dockstader, Himself" Eddie Leonard
Will Hallet as comedians; while the
olio embraces such specialists as Ollie
Young and brother, the marvellous
hoop rollers Claudius and Corgin,
greatest of all banjoists; Zeno, Carl
Zeno, worlds best acrobats, and the
vocalists number such singers as Wal
ter Vaughn. Harry Ellis. Geo. Pearce,
Frederick Barnes, Jas. B. Bradley and
Fred Gladis.

Mr.. Davis's resolution will serve the
purpose OF exciting discussion Of the
subject and agitation for change
along the lines suggested, which is
much gained.
Mr.. bayiss plan of tax reform is
directly in line with that expressed by
Auditor Scherr in a recent interview
with the Register, and provides for an
abolition of all State taxes on realty
and personality. which he believes
should be devoted exclusively to local
purposes, the State raising its reve-
nues from taxes on corporations, cap
itations, special licenses. franchises
charters, etc.
Despite the spendthrift character of
recent legislatures and the additions to
the States permanent expenditures
Auditor Scherr showed that am
pie revenue could be raised
for all State purposes in this
manner. The rapid development of the
States resources, which has brought
numerous new and great corporations
within the State limits provides a
source Of direct taxation that will not
only be ample, but safe, definite, per-
msnent and the taxes will be more
easily collected.
Mr. Davis's resolution supplements
this plan by advocating what the Reg
lister has long contended for but
which recent Republican legislatures
steadily refused to sanction, namely,
the extension of the corporation tax
to cover not only railroads, but a.so
sleeping. parlor and other car compa-
MES and express, telephone, telegraph,
oil and gas companies, etc
The present system of taxing real
and personal property. is so manifestly
unjust and unequal owing to Unequal
tiles in assessed valuation in different
counties that the next legislature need
not spend mucn time in revising the
tax system. 1t should simply wipe
such property from the lists altogeth-
er as a subject of taxation for State
purposes.

Mr.. NJ. j. Needham, the well known
IRISH comedian, who impersonates the
character of Corporal Deeley in the
play of Madeline of Fort Reno. is late
of the comedy Irish team Needham
and Kelly. Mr.. Needhams ''Dooley"
is ridiculously funny and his style and
makeup is typical with the period of
the story of the play. Between Need
hams Irish conversation and Walters
German extractions these two keep
laughter at it's highest pitch for some
time. In the first act, these two are
left in charge of the fort and are COM
manded by General Custer to capture
or Kill all Indians seen in the vicinity.

orders are famously funny. Grand,
