Report From The Reform school
The TWO Orphans.

Mr.. L. Van Werden, manager of the
Van Werden opera house, has been for
tunate enough to secure the Dubinsky
Bros ten thousand dollar production of
the Two Orphans for one night, Thurs
day, Dec. II. The production has been
pronounced by the eastern press to be
second to none on the road, and Mr..
Van Werden positively guarantees to
the people of Leon that the performance
will be strictly meritorious in every
particular, and the Dubinsky Bros. have
introduced the novel policy of submit
ting to those who wish to investigate,
detailed statements supported by affida-
Wits showing the actual expenditure of
ten thousand dollars in scenery and
costuming. The company is composed
Of Ia acting people. The magnificent
setting Of the second actin which the
Chevalier DeVauderey rescues Henri
eta from the gay Partisan gentry repre-
sents an out lay of two thousand dol
lars. The dock scene in which Mar
lame attempts suicide is realistic in
the extreme. And the dueling between
the Chevalier and Marquis De Preselles
is wonderful feat of workmanship. A
snow producing machine invented and
manufactured especially for this pro-
duction is one of the strong features, as
also the knife fight between the two
brothers in the last act. Altogether
the production is masterpiece OF
dramatic and mechanical art.

at the same time. Asarule with liberal
feeding the animal makes more progress
up to two years old than ever after
wards. With an animal in it's natural
state the waste of the body is about
counterbalanced by the food consumed.
All excess of food beyond waste goes to
form bone and muscles in the growing
animal and fat in the mature one. The
object of the beef producer with liber-
al supply of food is to create an arti-
fical condition favorable to the product
ion of fat. In my Judgment it is much
easier to obtain that condition with
matured animals and much better result
would be gained by feeding grain liber-
ally in the months Of April and May,
and turn on grass in July, and August,
finish them on grain September, Oct
obcr and November. / doubt it's ever
paying to feed the three months Decem-
Der, January and February. AS to the
different breed of cattle and their
origin, shall not attempt to give an
elaborate history, for time, space and
incompetency will not permit it. write
largely from memory, not having read
the history for number of years as to
which breed is best for all purposes l
leave you to Judge. Will say however,
the rivalry between the breeders of the
different breeds have done more to pro-
duce perfect animal than any other
one thing. The Shorthorn or Durham,
their original name was Teewater cattle,
the original color was white, they were
discovered ten centuries ago on the
River Teese in England, so says Allen
in his history of Durham cattle. Cross
i ing them with the Longhorn, or High
land Scotch cattle, changed their color.
For the production of milk and beef
this breed is unsurpassed, if history be
correct. The Hereford up to within the
present century, there were four dis
tinct varieties of the breed, differing
widely from one another in appearance,
but by careful breeding a Hereford
without white face is as rare as a
white cow of that breed. The origin of
the breed is doubtful, the best authori-
ties consider it aboriginal, others claim
it's importation from Normandy or Elan
ders, others think the climate and con-
ditions of Hereford County made what
they have out of an animal that orgi-
nally inhabited the Shire of Devon. Be
it's origin what it may for a beef animal
they are good. The authentic history
Of this breed began about ne-hundred
and forty years ago. The Galloway is a
native of Normandy and splendid beef
bred. The reason give this brief histo.
ry they predominant and have for sever.
al centuries for the purpose for which
we need them now. In conclusion will
say, with the high price of land the
time has come when it is useless for q
man to try to make money by handling
plain cattle. $1,000 is fair average
price and think above, for a term Of
years, for plain bred calf or grade
You can not keep COW and calf a

than twenty dollars, i. O. where youare

A Costly Mistake.

Blunders are sometimes very exnen-
siye. Occasionally life itself is the
price of a mistake, but you'll never be
wrong if you take DR.. Kings New Life

liver or bowel troubles. They are gem

your COW being $4,000 while thorough
bred that will cost you $500, the ave-
rage price Of her calf is $4,000. When
we had the open range our lands we're
cheap we could make profit out Of
our plain bred cattle, but 1t never paid
as we'll as the pure bred stuff.
We are still competing with the fellow
that has the public domain on which to
Craze his herds, but his business is att
tended with difficulties which he can't
we'll overcome. To confine his stock on
his own land which he will be compelled
to do in the near future it will cost him
more to raise cattle than us for the
reason it will require twenty-five acres
of the average western range land to
keep an animal. An opportunity to
improve his stock running on the range
is very poor.
So with good pure bred herd of
cattle on an Iowa farm the cattle bust
ness in the future will think be as
profitable as in the past.

All Next Week

"The Circus Girl" at the opera house
last night produced more genuine enjoy
ment to the minute, as given expression
to by uproarous laughter, than the pro-
ductou of any play produced there for
a long time. From the time the curtain
for the first act to the time it dropped
at the close of the play, it was one con-
tinuous round Of applause and laughter,
except the brief spell between acts.
Even this waiting time, which as rule
is 80 long as to become wearisome, was
cut short, and the audience had barely
time to compose themselves from the
eruption of laughter in one act until
the curtain wns up, and new provlcatlon
for merriment was provided in anoth-
er act. Most comedies are without a
plot consisting simply of funny situa-
tions and sayings, but 1.-The Circus Girl''
has a plot coupled with it's ridiculous
situations. The company throughout is
a good one, as there was not single
member who did not perform the part
assigned to him or her with credit an q
satisfaction. The audience was as al1
preciative as it was large. denver
Post.
1t is through the able management Of
Lamar's opera house, that the people OF
this city will have the pleasure OF wit
nessin, this meritorious production as
produced by the same company. In
connection with "The Circus Girl" the
company will give us a change of pro-
gram every night OF equally as strong
plays. This company will be with us
during the entire fair week, commenc-
ing Monday, Aug. "a. Mr.. Lee promises
there will be something doing after each
and every show, SO boys, get your dane
ing shoes ready.

NEW RULES FOR
CUSTOMS SERVICE

Secretary Shaw has issued a new cir
cular of instructions to collectors and
other officers of the customs service
regarding the extension of courtesies to
persons from foreign countries. The
new regulations are more restrictive
than former rules on the subject. No
courtesies are to be extended to any
one except foreign ambassadors, min
listers, the members of their suites, in
valids and persons arriving in charge
of their dead, or persons summoned
home in haste by news of affliction or
other imperative emergency. A change
is made, however, in the cases of ladies
travelling alone, when precedence in the
examination of their baggage is au-
thorized. The issuance of passes on
revenue cutters is allowed only in ex-
ceptional cases.

MORMONS IN
CONFERENCE

The semi-annual conference of the
Mormon, or Church of Jesus Christ OF
Latter Day Saints, on the island OF
Oahu, came to close last evening al
street, after two-days session. The
conference was well attended delega-
tons having augmented the Honolulu
section, from Laie, Waialua, Pualoa,
and Waikiki.
The church building was hardly large
enough to seat all the visitors, some
being compelled to remain outside.
Elder ID. H. Madsen OF Provo, Utah,
presiding elder of the church in Utah,
had charge of the conference, assisted
by Elder o. II. Byber, and visiting
elder from New Zealand.
The purpose of the gathering which
corresponds to the great gathering
every April and October in Salt Lake
City, the Mormon headquarters, was
to unite the members of the church,
to make them better acquainted, in
crease the bond of religious fellowship
and to teach them the gospel by
preaching and also by giving class
exercises of the Sunday school, mutual
institute associations and kinder
gartens.
The semi-annual reports We're char
acterized by Elder Madsen as being
very satisfactory. Fifty-eight converts
had been added since April and there
had also been an admission of thirty
children. There is a membership here
among the natives Of 1000.
