a buggy last Thursday afternoon, missed
her footing and fell to the ground badly
dislocating her shoulder. The fracture
was promptly set and we are informed
she is now improving nicely.
Tne unpleasant weather, which we
have been having for some time, ought
now to be a thing Of the past. The equi-
nox has passed, and the elements should
settle down and give us the regular old
Colorado fall weather, than which there
is none better.

Ralph Laughton, Of Portsmouth, N. H.,

Miss Rose johnson, the pianist OF the
Joseph Newman Company which appears
at Lamar opera house, Friday, Oct 3rd,
is pianist Of exceptional ability. Miss
Johnson's playing is remarkable for Its
brilllancy and admirable technique

ent, and she plays with ease, grace, good
Judgment and artistic expression.
It has been suggested that it would be
a good thing, il the city authorities
would have the entire system Of water
mains vigorously flushed. The flow
from the tank and reservoir should be
cut off. and the water forced through
the mains by the power pressure. Such
a flushing would doubtless clear the
mains and make the water more health
full.

"a Foxy Tramp" appeared at the
opera house last Saturday night and
was greeted by one of the largest houses
of the season, this being their only stop
between Wichita and Denver, where
they play all this week. While the play
itself is not particularly pleasing one

in their line, and play their parts well
besides furnishing many very entertain
ing speclalties. The music and singing
were especially pleasing which is great
relief after what we have been forced to
put up with lately.
