Mr.. Arthur Dunn, the well known and
clever comedian, is at the head of some
fifty artists that will soon present the
musical comedy "A Runaway Girl at
the Opera House. The success attend
ing this production for the past two sea
sons is entirely due to its own intrinsic
merit in the first place and to the lavish
style in which it was produced in the
second place The late Augustus Daily
was extremely liberal as well as artistic
in all his theatrical productions. "A
Runaway Girl received the benefit of
his personal direction and nothing was
left undOne that would in any way en-
hance its value or tend towards its
success. The result is evidenced by the
continued prosperity and popularity OF
the play wherever presented. The com
edy remained at Days Theatre for three
hundred nights without intermission,
and every city in the East has accorded
the production unqualified approval and
endorsement. The songs and music in
cidental to the play are said to be catchy
and inspiring, its lyrics bright and witty
and its comedy humorous and infectious.
The play is also said to be handsomely
staged and costumed, and, as the loca-
ton of the plot is supposed to be i'll Ven
ice and Corsica, an opportunity is afford
ed to display some very rich and pictr-
esque costumes and scenery.

Winter Care of Live stock.

Now is the time Of year when the
farmer and stockman, in order to avoid
serious losses among his stock, should
see that his stables are warm and
comfortable against the cold blizZardS
of the approaching winter, says an In
diana correspondent of Prairie Farmer
Every year the knell Of warning iS
sounded through the agricultural jour
mails. Yet in spite Of this there are still
many farmers who are careless and
negligent in this respect. In travelling
over the country one Will see stables
with the doors off of the hinges, boards
knocked off the siding behind the
horses, allowing the rain and snow TO
blow in on them. Hogs are often seen
living on the frozen ground for want or
protecting shelter squealing day ana
ni9ht from cold. The feed is another
example of the farmers negligence
The fodder is left scattered all over the
field and in n bleached and washed out
condition is thrown about the barnyard
for the stock to pick up. Long before
spring these farmers, who were sure OF
an abundance Of feed, are asking them
,alyes what has become Of it, and in
EAte of all their feeding their stock ID

must be admitted, also. as a further mo-
