 Tragedy interests people, drama pleases them, but farce comedy, if is good farce comedy, such as is con. tained in 'Three Cheers" makes. them roar. Go and see it and be convinced Farce comedy with plenty of singing dancing and music is the program at the Opera house next Wednesday even. ing, when Melville Jeffrey's Company presents the new and successful play '"Three Cheers" The company is said to be very good one, and comes to our town highly recommended by the press and public.
 H. D. Hine, the artist and photo- grapher, has turned out a splendid picture of the ruins. He has had or ders for nearly 500 copies and can still supply those who wish them.
 Fun and laughter will be the pro- gram at the Opera House on Wednes- day, May 21, when the Melville lief frey Company will present the funniest farce comedy ever written. The plot, if plot there ever is to a farce com edy, is laid in the home of a rich and very scientific old gentleman who is al- at last conceived the idea that he can bring the dead back to life. In order to do this he steals an Egyptian mummy, smuggles it to America. and cOnceals it in his home, where it is dis covered by the bell boy, who immedi- ately tells the secret to the balance of the household and there is a continual mix up from start to finish.

The prices will be with in the reOch of all, ond we trust the will be welcomed on it's ap- pearance with a crowded house.
