The Columbia-"Arizona."

Arizona which will be presented at
the Columbia next week. has created
more of furore throughout the country
than almost any play which has been
produced during the last decade. When
Mr.. Thomas looked about for a subject
and location for this, his first effort, he
settled upon the beautiful Araivapa VAL
ley in Arizona, with its broad and fertile
acres on which grazes thousands of
heads of live stock which are SO indis-
pensable TO the entire world.
The scenic pictures in Arizona" are
all taken from original sketches, and the
costumes and appurtenances are correct
in every detail. One of the principals,
whose name is not on the program, is
Bonita's pet saddle horse, Chochise, an
animal who has seen actual service for
a number OF years on cattle ranch.
The company is said TO be a first class
one in every respect, having been care
fully selected for their adaptability to
enact their respective roles, and the
production is the same in every detail
as recently seen at the Academy of
Music, New York.

"Zanetto" received its first hearing in
New York last week, and is said to be
beautiful one-act opera, containing
many fine musical numbers OF Ca
valleria Rusticana' it is needless 70
speak at length, as the opera has been
heard many times here. The oppor-
tunity. however, of hearing the work un-
der the personal direction of the com
poser is an event OF the greatest musical
Importance, and this no doubt is main
ly responsible for the brisk sale of
tickets.
The Mascagni company is very large
one, and includes an orchestra of sixty
pieces. as well as large chorus. There
is double cast of principal singers
most of whom are unknown as yet 10
American audiences, but all very fine
artists. Among the contraltos is Nine.
Mantelli, who has been for a number
of years the principal contralto of the
Grau Opera forces.

Altoff is being satisfactorily tested in

smoke is driven by fan into filter of

stream Of petroleum, alcohol, or other
liquid hydrocarbon, and it emerges as
combustible gas of great heating power,
which may be used for producing steam

with the collected SCOT, etc., also forms
valuable fuel, this "pyro-gas" smoke

Medora has a club room, and if our
friend of the Jamestown Alert comes
this way, we will show him how such
rooms should be kept. This club is not
a blind pig, but strictly dry; We did have
some good stuff once, but old mar Foley
drank it all; this was n year ago. since
then we have kept it dry. The club has
a membership of over thirty, including
Senator Simpson and DR.. Davis of Dick

Medora has Y. P. S. c. E., but the
town is sadly in need of a spiritual guide,
and it is believed that if Bishops Mann
or Stanley came this way they could get
many members for their flock. 1t seems
like a shame when there are 30 many
Christians in the state, that a little flock
here should 60 without a shepherd.

contractors at the agency, was accused
Of boring holes in the scale weights to
make them lighter. Roberts wa ac-
quilted and in the early eighties settled
on the Little Missouri river, about ten
miles south of Medora and engaged in
ranching and cattle buying. In Sept,
1886, he left for St. Cloud, Mimi, to pur-
chase cattle, and from then his family,
whom he left here, has heard nothing
of him. He is one OF the persons who
have disappeared off the earth leaving

why Big Fish Get Away.

why Big Fish Get Away.
It is perfectly plain that large fish
are more apt to escape than small ones.
Their weight and activity, combined
with the increased thickness and re-
sourcefulness of age and experience, Of
purse greatly increase their ability to
tear out the hook and enhance the dam
ger that their antics will expose a fatal
weakness in hook, leader, line or rod.
Another presumption which must be
regretfully mentioned arises from the
fact that in many s it Is the en-
counter with a large fish which causes
such excitement and such distraction
