Along The Wabash.

"Along The Wabash" an American
comedy drama, in four acts, comes to
the Opera House Saturday, Nov. 20,
As the title would suggest, it is story
Of The Hoosier State, Of the people
dwelling along the historic stream Of
Indiana. u like most rural plays the
characters are not overdrawn, but are
natural and the play possesses charm
by its simplicity. The first two acts
take place in 4 country settlement
along the Wabash River. Then a
change is made to d ifferent locality
and the last two acts would do credit
to society drama. An honest God
fearing old farmer, who has as an eye
on the Legislature; Little Circus Jim;
Jack, an upright city chap, who mar
ries beneath himself; Harry, his
friend and dude compose the princ;-
pal male parts. The plot hinges
around Rose Haskins, the "vilIage
belle" and you will follow her with
laughter, love and pity throughout
the entire play, Unlike comedy dra-
mas the play has no villain. This
alone is treat to the theatre goers.
A country band, just learning to play,
the village Glee Club, who sing in the
choir on Sunday; Little Circus Jim,
Bicycle Expert aud the Mud Town
Fiddler, in addition to others, form
pleasing specialties. There is the
usual crowd Of country people show
men. musicians, to make the piece
realistic. Special attention is called
by the management Of the company
to the magnificent set used in the last
act, which is owned and carried by
the company. Complete even to the
furniture, brio a-hrac, statuary, cleo
tric effects, etc. Company presenting
play is strong one. The humorous
scenes are exceedingly funny and the
piece possesses almost every element
Of success.

AT ACTON PARK.


After the very strenuous and exciting
time Of the day before Acton Park again
became quiet yesterday and the park as
sumed its normal condition. The day was
cloudy and this no doubt had something
TO do with the lack of enthusiasm. The
meetings were not very well attended
but at all of them there was some spirit
shown which called TO mind the very ex-
citing incidents of the previous day. The
services were in charge of Rev. Mr.. Fow-
Ter and DIR. English. To-day is expected
to be a big one. as it is the last Sunday,
and also marks the close of the session
of the Holiness Association. Dr. Fowler
and Mr.. English will have charge of the
meetings to-day.
The pleasure of yesterdays services was
marred by the news of the death of Mrs
j. p. Pell, aged seventy-nine whose home
is in Falkland and whose husband is a
well-known Methodist preacher Mrs. Pell
died from old age, but the end was very
unexpected, she having been at the park
attending the meetings of the Acton As
sembly until one week ago. The Pells were
old residents of the State. having come
to Indiana Immediately after the war. Ten
years ago they celebrated their golden we'd
ding at the park. The funeral will be held
to-day at Falkland, and will be in charge
of the Rev Z. NJ. Chambers.

BARRED WIRE PHONE LINES.
Montana Rancbmen Making a General
Use of the Fences.
Butte Inter-Mountain.

They are inaugurating a telephone ex-
change in Fort Benton" said northern
Montana man recently, that will put the
embryo telephone companies entirely in the
shade.
There is nothing slow about the people
at the head of the Missouri river naviga-
ton, and when ii comes to municipal
questions and their solution they can give
Henry George, IgnatiuS DOnnelly, Ed
ward Bellamy and Mrs. Chapman Gait
cards and spades and little casino and
win out.
Fort Benton's latest effort is a barbed-
wire telephone communication. Being by
instinct and association cow people, they
resented the genesis of the barbed wire.
and when it discovered that it was
one of the evils that came with the rail
road and threw the cowpunchers, the bull
train and the river steamer out of the
game, they decided to take a material
view of the situation. and the result is
that they are preparing to have tele-
phone exchange which will take in every
ranch from the Missouri river north to the
Canadian line and south to the Highwood
mountains.
Among the duties of the operator at the
toll station which will be situated at Ben
ton, will be calling the ranchers the
various creeks in the morning, notifying
them when the trains are twelve four
teen hours late, and giving the sheepmen
the latest report of the Weather Bureau,
so that they may be ready during lambiEg
time for the storms which are so deStruc-
tive in that section.
Ranches are strung all along the line
from Benton up Shonkin creek to the
mountains, and with short addition to
the fences, which run continuously. the
line will be carried across the Highwood
mountains, near old Jack COnnolly's ranch
at Eagle Head, to the thickly- populated
Highwood district and to the Judith Basin.
when the line is finished the ranchman
of northern Montana will only have to step
to the phone TO be in connection with
every city in the State. On emergency
cases he can call physician or minister
as the case requires. The latter is of par
ticular Importance in the Bear Paw and
Little Rocky region, as some men down
there have still the old-time habit of dying
in their boots, and even telephone connec-
| ton with a sky-pilot is a desirable modern
convenience"
