EMINENTLY
SUCCESSFUL
uioh School Boys Give a Per-
formance Long to Be
Remembered s@@

Assurance had been given that the
,,ordeville entertainment would prove
rare treat. but it excelled even the
fondest anticipations.
The high school boys performed
orodigies of histrionic merit and the
audience, which crowded the opera
house to the doors, was intensely ap-
preeiative. r n@ 9g
This entertainment was a project
conceived by the boys and they de-
clined to permit the high school girls
to assist them. They were even
triAe unwilling at first to accept aid
from their teachers.
The entertainment was given for a
worthy cause, namely, reprenishing
the high school physical and chemical
laboratory fund.
The latter was certainly in need
of help. The laboratory is greatly in
need of apparatus, which can now be
purchased and paid for.
After an overture by the orchestra
a selection was sung by George H.
Nease. Oscar E. Reinhart, Bertram
E. Nixon, Karl F., Hoyt and Frank
M. Fellows. @
A laughable farce, entitled Shall
Our Mothers Voter. was presented by
a cast consisting of Messrs. Case,
Reinhart, Evans, Schmidt, Brown,
Benson, Summerfeld, Fellows, Aid
rich and Nease.
After another selection by the or
chestra Bertram E. Nixon gave an
amusing character song.
A monologue, Filtration and It's
Consequences, by Karl Hoyt was next
in order. George Nease followed with
character song, my Little Woody
Lou"
darkey sermon was preached by
Walter l. Brown His theme was,
q How Adam and Eve Turned Black"
Music by the orchestra and quin-
tette came next on the program.
A very amusing farce, entitled,
"Darktown Society Function" closed
the. entertainment. The dramatic
personnae were Messrs. Case, Hoyt,
Fellows Aldrich, Evans, Brown, Rein
hart, Nease, Benson and Lewis.
Mrs. Lothrop, as pianist, assisted
materially in the success of the even
ing and Mrs. George B. Ackerman
is due great praise for training the
boys. She gave her time and efforts
for several weeks to perfect the boys

WORK OF THE
LAWMAKERS
What Was Done Yesterday at
Carson by the Legis-
lature

lature in it's work yesterday kept long
hours, especially the Lower House.
The Senate opened at II a. m. with
the usual routine. Rolf introduced an
act to refund to W. Brougher and T.
L. Oddie moneys advanced by those
gentlemen during the epidemic at To-
nopah.
Brougher of Ormsby introduced
bill to provide for State Mineral
ogist and Agriculturist The office is
a much needed one as through State
Mineralogist our people may have
scientific aid in mining development
of the State.
A resolution was adopted relative to
the holding of coal lands and urging
the Federal Government to take
charge or the same.
Pitt offered a resolution condemn
ing the action of the German and En-
glish Government in the Venezuelan
dispute and urging the application of
the Monroe Doctrine by the United
States.
The resolution met with the unani-
nous consent of the Senate.
ASSEMBLY
In the Assembly 1t was from the
first scene of strife on the passage
of the Assembly bill No. /. This bill
was introduced by Speaker Wilson OF
Elko in the first part of the session.
1t makes it an offense for any one
to herd sheep or Craze sheep within
two miles of any possessory, claim or
dwelling house. The Committee on
Ways and Means to which it was re-
ferred, changed the bill, making the
limit one mile in place of two, and
causing it to refer to past or present
possessions but not to future.
Yesterday the bill came up for a
third reading and final passage. Nc
Carran offered an amendment that
nothing in the act should De so con-
strued as to prohibit sheep from the
right to be driven to water. upon any
stream where that water or stream
was on public domain. The attitude
was strongly in favor of the bill, and
it was evident that the eastern coun-
ties were in combination to push 1t
through. Storey was apparently in
the combination for her members
voted with Elko on all points.
McCarran took the floor in defense
of his amendment and asked that at
least a shadow of justice should be
shown to the industry which he rep
resented. Denton of Lincoln, broke
from the combination on this amend
ment and favored its adoption. The
amendment was loet, however, by a
vote of 10 to 1S.
Cook of Washoe then took the floor
against the whole bill. He brought
his legal knowledge to bear upon its
advisability. He pointed out the un-
constitutionality of the whole meas
ure and supported his assertion in a
very lengthy argument. Cook also
offered several amendments which met
the same fate as htat offered by Nc
Carran.
McCarran then moved to make the
bill special order for Tuesday at
O'Clock. On this point the Speaker
ruled him out of order. He then NOV
ed to adjourn until the afternoon
which failed to carry.
Cook and McCarran then settled
down to fight by series OF amend
ments. Noteware of Humboldt stood
in with the Washoites and took the

BOWSER w RITES A
 PLAY
He Imparts the Plot to His Wife, but Does Not Like Her Suggestions, Which He Thinks Are a Bit Sarcastic

Copyright, 1903. by c. B. Lewis.1 %NSTEAD of sitting down to his
 evening paper and cigar in placid 0 enjoyment, MT. Bowser was nerv-
 ous and uneasy, and now and then he looked at Mrs. Bowser in a furtive, inquiring way. She knew that he had something on his mind, but she asked no questions and dinner had been over full hour when at last, aft CT walking up and down the room for ten minutes, he said:
 "I. expect you'll sheer and ridicule, as usual, but I am writing a play for a friend of mine and should like to talk with you a little about the plot S"I shall be more than willing to talk" she replied as she repressed her as- tonishment with an effort. Your friend is an actor, I take it?"
 He's going to be. He's been reading up for the last six months
 What do you mean by reading up?"
 "Why, he's been reading books which tell a person how to become an actor. He's also bought a wig and sword. If he gets the right sort of play, he's bound to be another Edwin Booth in time." >
 T see. And you have promised to write him the right sort of play. That's kind of you. Have you got plot to match the wig and swordF'
 MT. Bowser didn't exactly like her tone, but after a glance at her he pass ed it by and replied:
 'T think I have struck 1t the first time, though some little changes may be necessary. I will tell you the plot as have outlined it. The scene is laid in Rome in the year 1125. The hero is named Kybiffo. He is a young man who has dared to aspire to the hand of a princess, and the emperor has order ed him out of the country. He refuses to go. He not only refuses, but he as- serts that he will remain and marry the Princess Dogolsky. That's where the first act opens."
 ''Does he put on his wig and draw his sword as he refuses to go?" asked Mrs. Bowser.
 He don't, but I can put that in. How do you like the names?"
 "Why, Kybiffo sounds very romantic, and Dogolsky is something new and

Diplomats at Peking Expect That

 PEKING, Dec. 28.-The opinion en- tertained by the best informed diplo- mats in Peking that war between Rus sia and Japan is probable and almost inevitable remains unchanged.
 Special dispatches from Tokyo say that the Japanese government is adopt ing an imperative tone in pressing for a speedy reply to it's last note.
 The Japanese war party is growing in strength and is bringing all its in huence to bear upon the government.
 The Chinese board of war has or dered the viceroys to furnish full in- formation as to the numbers of for eign trained troops available for active service The viceroys of three of the central provinces in response have re- ported that 90,Oo0 such troops are in readiness. This is unquestionably a re- marlzable exaggeration, as the great majority of the foreign trained troops exist only on paper.

Altogether the Dixie will take south 600 marines, who will be under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Waller.

An ominous Sign of War.

LONDON, Dec. 2s.-A report here says the Japanese army authorities have requested the newspapers to re- frain from publishing news concerning the movements of troops or other war like preparations. This is regarded as a practical censorship and an ominous sign. The newspapers express concern over the movement of foreign warships toward the far east and particularly over the statement that United States marines have been ordered to Korea, fearing some unforeseen incident may precipitate events.
