The PhillipSburg HERALD came out
last week in a new dress and with a
new head. We are pleased to note
Brother Tadlock'S indications of pros
perity in the HERALD's new dress, but
the new head does not indicate that
any new brains are necessary in it's
management, as it is the best paper
at the county seat, now.
It is not often that Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Shelton entertain their many
friends, but when they do, the event
is marked by the most open hospitality
and studied and bOuuntiful provisions
for the pleasure and happiness of their
guests. Such was the experience Of
over forty friends and neighborS,
Christmas evening, who assembled at
the pleasant home of MI and Mrs.
Shelton in the south part of town.
The first part of the evening was
spent in social games of whist and
other amuSementS until supper was
announced, which was, in itself,
vertable banquet, delicious enough
for the gods themselves. Roast
beef, roast pork, roast turkey, roast
duck, roast chicken, boiled ham,
genuine Scotch brown bread, English
waters, fruit cakes, pies, cakes, vegeta-
bles various salads and dressings and
wine of old vintage and other delica-
cies too numerous to mention confront
ed the guests as they marched into the
dining hall. After ample justice had
been done this most exquisite array of
tempting edibles, the balance of the
evening until the small hours of the
morning was enjoyed in music, dancing
and social intercourse, and as the
guests departed for their homes they
voted Mr.. and Mrs. Shelton and their
accomplished daughters to be most
royal and delightful entertainers.

A Man of 1ystery.

The real treat of the season is in
store for our theater goerS Monday
night, January I. at the opera house
where LearS s. Hagen present their
great, logical, up-to-date, society mel
odrama, "a Man of Mystery" by Mark
E. Swan. Mr.. Swans name is guar
antee for the merit of the piece as his
plays Browns in Town, ''''Whose Ba-
by Are YOU" etc. have made him IA
nous as playwright, while the firm
of Leary and Hagen have never al
lowed their names to be connected
with onything but the biggest and
best successes on the stage
In "a Man of Mystery the climax
of melodramic art has been reached.
Stronger than "Trilby" better than
''Dr. Jeckyl & Mr.. Hyde" and greater
than 1.-THE Great Rubby," was the
verdict of the New York Journal.
Packed houses everywhere greeted this
great melodrama in all the large east
ern cities last year, and this is the first
time the peice has ever been taken in
to the smaller towns of the country.
The play deals with the nefarious
doings of one Richard Glenwood, q no
torious theft, who passes as a society
man and a philanthropist and Swind-
les and robS his friends aud benefac-
tors, not through the ordinary chan
nelS employed by such ScOundrels, but
through his mastery of the science of
hypnotism. The exciting details of
this last crime, escape and final detec-
ton are graphically portrayed and
from the strongest possible combina-
tion of events, upon which to found a
play. The heart interest is intense,
and the comedy element never lacking
Tho climaXeS are the strongest at
tempted upon the stage and literally
lift the audienc from it's feet with ex-
citement. The company is probably
the strongest, taken all in all, that
there is on the road. It is headed by
those gifted and justly famous artists
Forest Flood, and Miss Maude Shep-
ard, while Lew Kelley the funniest of
all funny comedians, has been eSpeC ial-
ly engaged for the role of Noah Lett.
1t is a play for the people and never
fails to please. No such play or COM
pany has visited this section Of the
country in many years.

The Difference.

When the fuSionistS of KanSaSas got
an opportunity to elect a United
States senator four years ago they Sc
lected a man whom everybody acknow-
lodged to be an able man, clean man,
and man who has been not only an
ornament to the state as ingalls, was,
but useful to her citizens as we'll
They elected William A. Harris one
of the strongest, if not the strongest
man in their ranks.
Now that the republicans have the
legislature did they pick their strong
est? Not they. They are wrangling
over two men neither of whom is fit
to hold office at all. much less to repre-
sent the great state of Kansas in the
national senate. Burton is morally
unclean and is political and financial
dead beat. Baker is at best only tool
of Cy Leland who is the most IN
ScrupulouS political boss the state ever
had. Able men like j. K. Hudson,
NJ. a. Low and Gen. J. @. Caldwell
are passed by, because they will not
get down and scramble. That's one
difference between the peoples and re-
publican parties.

Again we will try to send in a few
items from this place, Santa Claus
has come and gone and we have settled
down to our regular routine of life
once more, and hope to get into these
columns quite often in the future.
Young Hansen from Fredonia is
visiting his mother Mrs. James Lar
son at this place.
A SarkaS has found his business has
grown to the extent of justifying him
in putting in pair of $500 computing
scales on his grocery counter. This is
into this place.
G. G. Ford has moved his general
blackSmithing business to the building
formerly owned by him in the north
part of town on Main street. This is
much better location as all parts of
town can be reacued on the street car
line which starts from this corner.
There is strong talk of meat mar
ket being started in our village in the
near future, and we predict some bust
ness for an enterprise of that sort, as
the people in this vicinity usually buy
their meat as they use it in preference
to preparing and keeping it through
| the season themselves.
There is quite rumor among the
railroad men that the Missouri Pacific
people are getting ready to extend
| this line of the Central Branch road
through to Denver in the spring. This
will give us a western outlet and the
towns along the Central Branch will
move up several notches toward the
front.
H. L. Seeger of this place has sold
his general store to Jerry Breton who
has taken charge of the business and
is running an up-to-date store. We
venture to say Mr.. Breton will get
his full share of trade from the way
he is going at things, one would hardly
know the place, from the changes he
has made and the courteous treatment
he is meteing out to all is sure to win
him business.

The elevator at Woodruff was burned

together with barn, shovel house

The English market was reported strong

and slight falling off in the outside sup
port. But early in the afternoon renewed
buying for both accounts sent prices back
to about the best level of the morning with
the market thereafter tolerRbly firm and

New Orleans March 14.-Notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Ellison did issue circular in
Liverpool, the early advices from there
were not encouraging and our marker,
consequently opened l point lower. The
steadiness later, however, was responded
to here by an improvement of salO points
from the bottom, occasioned by short COW
ering, making the net gain on the day
9Q10 points. The purport OF Mr.. Ellison's
circular was somewhat mixed. Some ca
bles stated that he estimated the visible
and invisible supply of American in spin
ners' hands on March / 10000 less than
last year. others construed 1t to refer to
the deficiency in taking up to that time.
From the facts before us they disprove
Mr.. Ellison's assertion and the probabin-
ties are the takings Of American will soon
exceed the loss he has allowed, and he
will be forced ultimately to reduce his
consumption of American under 10,000I00,
as trade conditions in the manufacturing
product are daily growing worse, as evil

THE RICE MARKET.

= Stocks of rice are we'll assorted, and
while prices are firm they are a. fraction
DOVER than the parity of primary points
south Nearby arrivals are priced above
present rates for spot goods and this fact
contributes materially to the strength of
the market.
Adyices from the South note improved
inquiry on the. Atlantic coast, both on
milling and distributing account. Stocks
are only fair but well assorted. Factors
continue TO feed the demand, being con-
scious that even at less ratio of move
ment than at present, the supply will be
exhausted long before the harvest Of new
crop. The Southwest report exceedingly
strong conditions with good demand.
Heavy drafts have been made on the low
er grades for shipment to Porto Rico.
The constant inquiry for these styles
has contributed greatly to the strength
of the market on other grades as well,
holders having a definite figure on which
to base yalues-quite the reverse from the
chaotic conditions of years gone by when
the strife seemed to be as to who could
sell their goods at the lowest possible
price; at least that was the effect of the
lack of Information and cooperation on
part Of planters and millers.
Gables and correspondence from abroad
note firm markets, spot goods are near
ing the danger line OF scarcity. and the
trade are waiting the advent of new crop
with impatience: The hopes of a decld-
edly lower range of values, based on the
encouraging crop reports from the Bur-
nese district, have been materially modi-
fed by a renewal of large purchases by
the government for famine account in In
dla. Patna sorts are in lessened supply,
especially of qualities suitable for the
United States. The amount afoat from
the Far East to various markets is IS
per cent. less than last year.
