Mr.. Reid tells a story of effecting
human interest, strongly dramatic,
yet treated in such manner that
laughter follows every tear, and the
spectator rises from his seat at the
close of the performance with glow
around his heart and feeling that life
is after all worth living. Act first
shows Martin Mason's saloon the
"Temple of David act second, Joe's
Cabin at Rift Canon, act third, inter
ior of the "Last Dollar" claim and act
fourth, interior of Joe's new home.

True Loves Rocky Course.

Harry Crawford, of Lyons, has been
keeping steady company of late with
Miss Edith Buck, young lady of that
city, but her father, VIM. A. Buck,
for some reason, saw fit to object to
the same, and on several occasions
reminded Harry that his attentions
to Edith were anything but congenial
to him, and also told him that these
attentions must cease forthwith.
To Harry, however, the happy mo-
ments spent in Edith's company were
bright spots on life's horizon, and he
was slow 70 cast off the mantle Of love
that hung about him, and he was
wont to meet her in the cleaning.
Last Friday evening, while strolling
with Miss Edith, and whispering those
sweet nothings which lovers so de-
light to hear, Harry was suddenly
confronted 10y the irate papa who at
once pulled revolver and began a
fusilade. Harry was not shot but he
was scared out of years growth and
fled precipitately. He swore out a
warrant and had Mr.. Buck arrested
on a charge of attempted murder.
Mr.. Buck declares he only shot to
scare him but he will have to prove
it at his examination which is set for
August 9th. In the mean time he is
out on 81 900 bail.

The railroad age records now only
five unimportant steam railroads,
from four to twenty-eight miles in
length each, which have failed to
meet the interest on their obligations
during the past six months. This is a
different showing from that made ten
years ago when railroad receivers
were being appointed every few days.

silk, which they We're in the habit If
selling as rubbish. He bought a .iun-

turned it into gold. The heap Of waste
silk suggested an idea. bat he had to
spend ten years time AMI no loss than
