The Missouri Girl.

The Missouri Girl. which will be
presented at the Brooks Theatre is d
decided departure from che usual
style OF comedy drama and is marked
by novelty in construction and re-
markable magnifcence in mounting.
The characters are peculiar in the ex-
treme. Nothing like them has ever
been seen in any other play, most OF
which have been copied from life.
Mr.. Raymond. the author, spent the
greater part of one summer studying
character in southwest Missouri and
after selecting some strong types, he
has woven them into plot that is
surprisingly natural. The character
OF Zeke Dobson. the Yankee boy, who
came out west to make his fortune,
Is acknowledged TO be the most
unique and laughable Of any ever seen
in a stage production.

A special dispatch from Needles, to
the Denver News, dated April 5th,
says: The town is practically desert
ed, as all men and most of the women
and children have joined the gold rush
to the new Placer diggings in Klien-
felter canyon, ten miles from here.
The w H. Orr company is developing
water in the canyon and through pipes
driven to find bedrock, came upon
coarse gold. Placer gold worth $22
was sifted from three buckets Of gray
Ell taken from the pipe, and was
brought from a depth of probably
twenty-five feet below the surface. A
pipe dan has been put in by the Orr
company for damming the underiow
of water, and occasionally it becomes
necessary to extract a pile after it
has been driven some distance. One
was pulled out the other day and a
dollars worth of gold was scraped
from the lower md. The entire wash
and adjoining washes have been
staked for a distance Of two miles
above and below the original location.
Old timers who have p~rospected the
country pronounce the find the richest
ever recorded in this part of the State.
People are coming fro mall parts OF
the country and men are watching
their claims day and night to pre-
"jumpings."

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.

when ] had an attack of grip last
winter (the second one) L actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
lain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. / at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at
night l would take a lose and it
seemed hat in the briefest interval
the cough would pass off and I would
go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say hat the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. l had no idea that 1T
would or could knock u the grip,
simply because I had never tried it
for such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused 1t 10 not
only to be of less duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and /
had not used the contents of one bot
tie before Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu."

A Breezy Batch Of New From The
Town on the Rock Island.

Tucumcari. N. NJ. April 8, 1908.
We are pleased to receive the Optic
and to note the prosperity attending
all trades, professions and business in
Las Vegas.
You may be in want of carpenters as
you state, and the growth of your city
may be retarded as a consequence, yet,
in justice to yourself, we cannot spare
you q man.
Stone and brick layers are all on a
strike here,and it is believed it will last
all summer. However, when you learn
the cause Of the strike you will say tits
just.
Striking the chisel and striking
joints constitute worthy strikes.
Here in Tucumcari it is difficult to
acquire a business lot on Third street,
therefore selections are being made on
in~tersecting streets and the town is
spreading. This is not an indication
of weakness, but rather the reverse.
Twelve hundred determined people
are engaged in promoting the best in
terests OF Tucumcari.
Business houses that one year ago
were believed to be c~apacious enough
for years are already lacking in space
and convenience.
NJ. b. Goldenberg & Co. will, in a
few days, move into a newly construct
OH stone buildino having d0ubla the
floor space they now occupy. Plate
glass front and sky lights will
render it a pleasant place in which to
transact business.
The First National bank has been
compelled to arrange more ample
rooms $4,000 is being ex-
pended in the erection of a handsome
two story brick building. Work is now
progressing on the second story. Cut
and carved stone has been used
in the construction to advantage, and
it will have no rival for beauty in the
territory of New Mexico. Furniture
for the same has been ordered from an
eastern manufacturer, and will be con-
~venient and handsome when placed.
Business has increased in the post
office in Tucumcari to such an extent
that mor DON is necessary to enable
the clerks to transact the business and
accommodate the public.
There is activity in all business and
good cheer is apparent.

congregation on some of the society

He was not rabid; he was not vindic-
tive. But he was member Of the
late grand jury and had the matter
of law breaking fresh on his mind.
He said that It was a crime to gam
BILE and then referred to playing eu-
chrc for prizes. He reminded them
that it is against the law to introduce
liquor into the territory and that it
does not make any difference if the
liquor is served as punch, 'frappe'
on lemonade or straight. When he
lad anshed he told his congregation
that he did not want them TO go home
and talk about him; that what he had
TO say he said to them. That minis
ter is onto his job. He is the most
talked about man in Muskogee today.

Chicago. oct. 19.-There's a new
epidemic in Chicago, and it all started
with tho question:
How old is Ann?"
Harvard started it, and half the
bright students at that great uniyer-
sity got uripped up on it. Most oil
the other half gave it up or developed
insomnia over it.
Then some one brought it to chi
cago. and since the problem was
printed few days ago every body
has been trying to solve 1t. The
population OF Chicago is developing
the How old is Ann?" face.
Here is the problem:
Mary is twentyfour years Old.
Mary is twice as old as Ann was
when Mary was as old as Ann is
now. How old is Ann?'
Bulls and bears over on the board
of trade stop with deals half complet-
ed and the market ready to tumble
about their ears while they humble IN
.coherently: MARY is twenty-four now
and when Mary was as old as Ann is
now"-or Mary will be twice as old
as Ann is now when Ann is as old as
Mary was when" or something else
equally lucid.
