It's shameful when youth fails to
show respect for old age, but Just the
contrary in the case Of DR.. Kings New
Life Pills. They cut of maladies no
matter bow severe and irrespective OF
old age. Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Fever.
Constipation all yield to this perfect
Pill. &c. at G. W. Greene's Drug
Store.
The Charity Ball. by tho o..
Callaghans was a splendid success, far
beyond what should be expected of an
amateur company. The plot is a
splendid one. A wronged girl is
found in Florida, AMI taken to a New
York home where he who wronyed
ner was a member. The william re-.
turns from Paris to find the girl in
his home. While planning to mary
Anne Cruger in order to become the
King Of Wall street, it is found mat
she loves another. The beauty of the
plot ls that the wronged girl is finally
to the arms of her lover. The
fun centers around the courtship of
Judge Knox, which like that of all
other old fools-is redi :ulously silly.
His plumbers keeps the au Hence in a
continual roar of laughter. Time
prevents a more elaborate outline of
the play. Inc characters were good,
not a weak a in the whole cast.
Miss Elliott@as the wroneed girl, %.
pecially in the emotional parts, was
never better Charles Smith, az
Juuge Knox. was a whole circus, ring
master and all. Frank Gum wes a
typical john Van Buren,. Harry
Moore, was equal to an old stager.
F. F. Smith, as Cruger, was splendid.
Alec Robinson was played by E. F..
Flynn. and that means that it was
we'll done. Sue E. Flynn was the
personifcation of all that was sweet
and petite in the character Of Bess.
Miss Connolly q Ns,. Plyster, sur.
prised even her friends. Miss Maud
Rankin. Miss Kahn and. the other !.
members CT the company were Just al
right. The play will be repeated to.
night and reserved seats are selling at
such a rate that net one will pe left

TWO PRICES FOR COAL.
Situation as to Rock Springs Product
Failure of Demolli and Kelliher.

There is considerable confusion In the
local coal purchasing mind because
some dealers continue 70 sell Rock
Springs coal at $3.50. while Others sell
az s. fiat, The latter dealers are those
buying from the Union Pacific mines,
while those charging the higher figure
are those buying from the Central Coal
q Coke company. The Central people
decline under any circumstances 10
meet the Union Pacific cut. as they
can get their own price from eastern
consumers, and do not care whether
they sell any coal In the Salt Lake
market or not So the local trade is run
ming TO dealers who purchase from the
Union Pacific. The demand for the
other Wyoming Goals 10 very good,
however.
The Central Coal & Coke people say
that Demolll and Kelliher have been
up In Wyoming endeayoring to union
ize the different camps but without sue
cess as wages have been raised tlp
there TO a point where the miners can
have no excuse for making trouble, and
while the agitatOrs did succeed for the
time IN unionlslng In some places, the
members OF the union were promptly
discharged, and their places filed by
non-union men, SO the agitators had
their trouble for their pains. There IL
no fear In Wyoming OF the labor union
agitators being able to accomplish any
thing In that state,
