An Elaborate Production of Faust,
Saturday, April 9Th.

The beginning of the fifth act shows
US Faust and Mephisto climbing the
steep rocks and yawning chasms of
the. peak of the Brocken III the HartZ
Mountains, where, according to the Ger
man legend, the Witches and WarlOcks
meet at Walpurgis night (the thirteenth
of April to hold their yearly festivities.
The night grows darker and darker; the
moon is in its last quarter and gives but
little light. They climb higher and
higher; the trees and rocks and distant
cliffs take on wondrously fantastic
shapes in the dim light of the dying
moon; only the hooting of owls and the
far away cry of the lonely night-hawk
breaks the solemn stiffness; strange
shapes crawl to and fro, and wierd
snake-ike forms seem to writhe and try
to clasp the wonders i'll their horrible
embrace. At midnight mighty temp
est rises and the witches gather from
far and near to their unholy festival.
During the truly horrifying scene that
follows Mephisto shows Faust the never
failing punishment of Evil, " and the
curtain falls with terror stricken Faust
writhing in the Evil Ones grasp. A
perfect storm of electric fire descends,
amid which the imps and witches are
seen revelling in their fiendish merri-
ment.

The Augustin DAILY Company is GER
tainly very pretentious organization
if one may judge from its number and
personnel, as we'll also as the great
amount of scenery, wardrobe, etc, that
is provided by the management for the
proper production of the latest and best
of the London and New York musical
comedy successes, viz: "a Runaway
Girl " The Company comprises some
fifty artists. prominent among whom
are seen the names of Mr. Arthur Dunn,
Mr.. Walter Clifford, MIR. Joseph Ire
Denick, Mr.. Geo. F. Beard, Mr.. Henry
Leone, Mr.. Harry Dickson, Mr. Frank
Regis, Miss Celeste Wynn, Miss Clara
Belle Jerome and Miss Rose La Harte.
There are many others of equal distinc-
ton. With this array of talent, in con
junction with the pretty faces and train
ed voices of the handsomely dressed
chorus, one can readily see that the
splendid reputation of this excellent
company must be well deserved. The
entire organization and complete pro-
duction of "A Runaway Girl will be
seen at the Opera House or the evening
of April 1st.

Profit In Good Mares.

Here is where Il good many people
have made a mistake-they have let
their good mares go and kept the ordi-
nary ones, to the detriment Of their
future business-says National Stock
man. All farmers need not and should
not be breeders of horses. Some men
can make more by keeping cheap geld
ings to do their work and raising no
colts than they can by keeping mares.
But those who keep mares to breed,
and they are in the majority, should
have nothing to do with the cheap
kind If they keep mares and breed
them, they should keep good ones.
There is no profit in any other kind.
Let the fellow own them that does
not know enough to care what he
breeds. Some men seem to think that
the stallion is the whole thing, that
somehow they can raise good horses
with common mares if they patronize
good stations. This is so frequently
an error that it does not pay to take
the chances. Don't let the good ones
get away. They are needed more and
more as the buyers become more crit
ical

Rest For Lame Horses.

An error which is frequently COM
mitted is the turning out of lame horses
to pasture. He is obliged TO exercise
as he picks his living, said DR.. w. c.
Fair before the American Veterinary
Medical association. Another mistake
is the exercising Of trotting and run
ming horses on race tracks, thus pre-.
venting them from making satisfactory
progress toward recovery BY exercis-
ing a lame horse we retard his recov-
cry and frequently produce atrophy Of
the healthy muscles in the same limb.
If hard pulling or fast driving cause
lamenesS, why not remove the cause
and give him absolute rest? That Is
the very reason why SO many track
horses never fully recover. They are
not allowed to rest after meeting with
an injury. True. exercise will develop
muscles, tendons and ligaments, pro-
vided the animal be not lame and weak
in any one quarter.

Nothing is more conducive 10 the
health Of a horse than a good light,
airy stable. This should be built upon
high and dry ground, says c. A Noyes
in Prairie Farmer. The horse is a clean
animal and should have clean quarters,
and to prevent disease arising from
filth and neglect careful attention
should be given the stable Because of
its airyness in summer, a log stable
Is much preferred. 1t can be made com
Portable during the winter by chinking
the cracks with straw.
Opposite each stall should be a win.
dow, protected by a shutter, to let in
the cheering breeze or bar out the
storm. Fasten the rack high and firmly
to the wall with the upright pieces
four inches apart to prevent the vast
Ing Of long food. To avoid injury to
the horse the halter should be passed
through a ring in the manger and new
Cr tied to the rack.
The stall should be five feet wide.
This permits the horse to lie down in
comfort Il partitions between the
stalls being neatly planked and low
! enough to the floor to prevent the
horse from getting his feet under and
| high enough to keep the horses from
molesting each other. For a work
horse a dirt floor is much the better,
as the moisture received by the hOof
coming in contact with the earth makes
it tough. A bed of dry straw is as great
n welcome TO n tired horse as is his
! food and is as necessary in a stable as
u currycOmb.

The stage story of David Harum
the Charles Frohman attraction at the
Opera House ON April 10th is said to be
simply a dove failing of the more dram
attic incidents in the world famous novel
that has run through more editions than
any book in the last ten years. That
the staging of the story has succeeded
in sharing the success of the book is
to put it mildly. The comedy of well
TODD up country life was decided
novelty and caught the fancy of the
Broadway theatre -goer as no other
comedy has done in years. The charac-
ters We're well-recognized types and the
play itself was neither a burlesque of
country life nor the mawkishly senti-
mental sop that is dished out at cheap
theatres, the wit and humor, the truth
and pathos were genuine and Mr.. Froh-
man claims to put his best producing
foot forward in this, his latest and great
est success.

Function of the Horses Frog.

The larger and better developed the
frog the better does it fulfill the func-
tions it is intended for. 1t is only nee
essary to bear this in mind to see that
it is a mistake to pare away the frog
in any way. Besides thus negatively,
as it were. influencing the development
of the frog by not having it touched
when the horse is shod the develop
ment may be Influenced directly by al
lowing the frog to come into contact
with the ground and TO bear weight,
though it does not do this to nearly the
same extent as do the wall and the
outer part Of the sole. which latter are
the chief parts of the hoof for bearing
weight.
In the cases of horses shod in the
usual way the frog necessarily Is not
able to perform its functions nearly so
well as in the case OF uushod horses,
and in this fact lies one of the evils OF
shoeing. If the frog in the shod foot
could perform its functions to the full
est extent, more especially in the case
of harness horses, there would be few
er diseases of the feet.

Relief Map at Worlds Fair.

A meeting Of the st. Louis worlds
fair board was held Monday after.
noon ct the state house. Gov. Orman
was present Is OK -officio member Of
the board.
The board ratified the suggestions
Of Captain Thatcher with regard to
the secnr,ag of the cooperation of
the ",seyersl mountain states in
the builhing and the operation Of
a model irrigation plant. Idaho, New
Mexico Utah, Washington and Wyo
ming srp the states that will probably
assist Colorado IN this exhibit, and it
is likely that conference will be held
by the representatives Of the differ
ent states in Denver to decide upon
the plans.
It was decided to ask the three
universities of the state, the State
university at Boulder, the State Ag-
ricultursl college and the School
Of Mines TO aid the board in the con.
struction Of a giant relief map, show
ing all the mountains, hills snd plains
in the state. To have one Of these
maps constr ucted outside OF the state
would cost in the neighborhood of
1000, and the board is OF the opin
ion that it would be better to have
the students Of the state institutions
do this work, and to pay them for
their trouble. In this way the map
will cost less than otherwise, and be
sides will be the product of Colorado
science and labor. From this large
relief map other smaller and valuable
maps can be made which will be use
full to those who have occasion to
consult such map.
Another matter that WAS mentioned
in the meeting though no final action
taken, was to have each comfy pre-
sent to the board bits of its choicest
scenery. This then is to be blown
in glass by new process, and this
glass is to be used az windows for the
exhibits OF the state of Colorado at
st. Louis.

COLORADO WEDNESDAY.

noses and otherwise sbrade and con.
tuse those noble frontispieces of our
foremost statesmen. Should the ses-
sion of congress be prolonged, we
might be under the necessity of
meeting our returning heroes of the
strife with ambulances at the railway
stations supported by surgeons and
nurses in readiness to dress their
wounds, honorably or dishonorsbly
received on the field Of action. Fur
ther debate on those great questions
of national policy which demand in
tellectual keenness. and far-sighted
sagacity would have been attended
with the greatest peril. Particularly
is this true, since the new school Of
physical persuasion has had 80 many
supporters. When a distinguished
senator expressed it as his opinion
that Cuba ought to be annexed in
stead Of reciprocal trade relations es-
tsblished with her, it should under
the new order of parliamentary de-
bate be the duty of his opponent to
pull his nose or punch him in the
stats. This might, at any rate, end
the ever-Aowing tide of oratory. Why
should honored senators pore over
books of statistics, consular reports
and wearylng public documents to
collect materials with which to an
swer their adversaries in the forum
when it would require less time and
exertion to silence them by yanking
out a handful of hair, kicking them
on the shins or breaking a cane over
their heads? This vein Of reasoning
seems to have been surely gaining
ground in the senate; therefore, we
are glad that adjournment has come
before the carnage grew general. We
are glad our respected and dignified
lawmakers, the representatives Of
sovereign states, are going home be-
fore we see them pouring bloody and
disfgured from every exit Of the SEN
ate chamber with tattered and ensan
guined togas, glaring eyes-such as
are not temporarily closed-clenohed
fists, more or less minus the cuticle
of the knuckles, battered ears, rive q
lips, armed with ink.stands, books
and fixtures OF their hall. We are
glad they are going home.-Globe.
