MONTREAL, May ia special to the
Gazette from Three Rivers says:
The tug Spray, with Chief Carpenter. his
aides and Colonel Gaynor and Captain
Greene, prisoners, passed Three Rivers at
7:15 O'Clock this evening under full head
OF steam. Two Quebec policemen and two
detectives who arrived here by special
train this afternoon went to the wharf and
remained there in waiting for Spray.
They held the ferrybost Glacial in read
mess to 60 out into midstream when Spray
hove in sight. Suddenly the looked-for tug
appeared and the ferry hurried out into
midstream, but the feet little tug was
ploughing through the waves at a rapid
speed and before the ferry reached the
middle Of the river Spray was a hundred
yards In the lead and still gaining. The
race was kept up for two miles, but was
hopeless and the ferry returned TO the city
At 8 o'clock the officers again boarded the
ferryboat and started for Sorel. hoping to
overtake Spray at that point. There lie moi
a remote probability they will be able to dc
this.

At the Boyd.

IA though fully realizing that the final
engagement Of the season was at hand and
that another opportunity Of enjoying really
frst-class theatrical amusement would not
present itself within the next three months,
Omaha playgoers turned out in full force
Thursday night to see a new and much
talked about musical comedy, when
Reuben Comes to Town" There was
not an available seat in the theater
after s O'Clock and an hour later there
was no more standing room to be sold, a
condition that has existed but very few
times during the season.
AS for the play and performance, the
large audience seemed to find much to
laugh at and they were quite liberal with
their applause. all OF which would indi-
cate that they were pleased. The piece is
one OF those musical farces without plot
or purpose aside from that Of causing peo-
pie to laugh. There are some bright lines
in It., a little catchy music and some
really clever burlesque. The company is
small for one OF It's kind and as a whole
rather ordinary. There are few good
voices in the cast, but some beauty Of both
face and figure in the chorus. One Of the
redeeming features OF the performance is
the rapidity with which the fun is kept
going. At no time does 1t drag or is the
audience allowed to lose interest In the
performance, even though the dialogue is
not always interesting. The hnal perform
ance Of the engagement and OF the present
season will be given tonight, when the same
piece will be offered.

A large crowd Of small people in the Gus

fed the bad weather and went TO the
tents OF the Otto Floto shows at Eighteenth

formances yesterday.
They found what they we're looking for.
A half hundred tiny horses and several
monstrous ones; gilded cages filled with
frisky monkeys; dogs Of every possible
color and size and breed-all we're there,
and all were on their good behavior.
The ponies waltzed. t~eetered. played lame
and kicked at the funny old clown till he
was most scared to def. The monkeys eat
peanuts right out of little chilerns' hands
and made faces and jus cut up like ever
fng. And the dogs, why they did lots and
lots OF tricks and fooled the man ever so
many times. And goo'ness, how they could
~jump-right up over barrels and boxes and
flags piled higher'n a great big man could
reach. One dog. he shot the ref'ree at the
prize light men some other dogs they
hunged him wifi a rope men some other
dogs they hauled him of in a hearse to
the graveyard all the time the band was
playing kind of sad and mornful like 1t
does to a foon'ral.
Bime by q mule coined out and a darkey
boy tried TO ride him and he flung him off
JUS like lightning ever time he tried to
get on and ever body laughed. an the boy
laughed too cause the mule never hurted
him at all.
And then the man said they was going
TO be a concert afterwards and he
wanted to introduce some of the singers
and a little girl came out and a bigger
girl. The big girl had on short dresses
and they was a rose in her hair only she
didn't have anything around her shoulders

Not to be outdone by the Omaha assess

a little trouble of its own along this line

low and the amount OF tax will be re-
CURED to pay will exceed all former years.
The deduction by the electric light COM
pany Of 500, 900 for South Omaha property

used as a basis in the new assessment.

To the man in middle life the question
asks itself, "What have done to make
the world better for my living in it,"
Peasant or merchant, learned or ilhterate,
that question must be answered, and the
answer comes with an armful Of JOY or OF
regret. One can make his character great
and noble in whatever station he may be
placed, and character is the only thing
that lasts. Death cannot change it. for it
walks through the valley OF shadows to
the throne OF God. to be accepted there.

gratulate our own souls on what they have
achieved we have new year blessing that

sun will rise again and that we shall rise
with it the winter points to spring. There
is no sadness, though the journey draws
to a close, for the beyond opens up it's
glories and with a single step we shall be
with our beloved ones once more. II We
have done our work we'll We shall 60 hence
with JOY. For the young. therefore, and
for the aged. and for al, there is but one
wish-that the year will find US strong for
its duties and ready to reap the harvest
