The local management of the Opera
House takes great pleasure in an
nouncing the appearance of Mr.. VIM.
v. Mong supported by the Powell Por-
tello Go. for two nights commencing
Wed. Dec. II. This attraction, if
reports are true from towns where
they have been, will be the banner
event of the season. Mr.. Mong, in the
character Of the Old Inventor, in the
piece of that name, carries his audi
ence along with him throught the full
gamut of human emotions. Laughter
and tears follow each other in rapid
succession as you watch this pathetic
old man endeavoring with all his
feeble strength to avenge. the wrongs
of his daughter who has been lead
astray by the son of the man he has
made rich with his wonderful inven-
tions. Mr.. Mong's wonderful climax
is reached in the third act and invari-
ably this actor is forced to acknow-
ledge several curtain calls. A beauti-
full story, is told through the four acts
OF the drama; and the comedy is side
splitting. Those who witness this
performance will be more than repaid,
they will be convinced that one half
OF the world knows not how the other
half lives. We predict q big business
for this company during their visit
here,

Worst of all Experiences.

Can anything be worse than to feel
that every minute will be your last?
Such was the experience of Mrs. S. II.
Newson, Decatur, Ala. For three
years. she writes, II endured insult
ferable pain from indigestion, stomach
and bowel trouble. Death seemed in
evitable when doctors and all rene
dies failed. At length I was induced
to try Electric Bitters and the result
was miraculous. I improved at once
and now I'm completely recovered.
For Liver, kidney, Stomach and Bo-
vel troubles Electric Bitters is the
only medicine. Only Soc. It's guar

 TOO MUCH PRoSPERlTY.-To- night is the night of the Elks' minstrel show and the old stags for the first time in their lives are very much wor- ried. They have got so much pros perity they don't know what to do with it. They didn't know then dramatic venture was going to be such an appalling success. They thought they would have to lasso people and make them buy tickets like ordinary show people sometimes have to do, but when the doors were opened at Goodman's yesterday morning for the exchange of tickets sold in advance, for reserved seats they discovered that they had made a mistake; that they should have gone to New York to give their opening performance for the Doris theater isn't big enough. Ticket holders lined up and took their turns at the box office. It was not so much a matter of choice with the ticket holders as it was whether or not they could get any kind of an old seat. And not all of them did for by noon the standing room only" sign was out. Those who held tickets and could not get seats were offered their money back. Few accepted it, though, as many would rather take a chance on standing room tonight than to miss the show. Its no use to say anything further in advance complimentary to the performance to be given, for al- ready the public appetite has been worked up so that some ticket holders are disposing of their property on margins.

EXCURSION RATES SECURED.

The rate for the round trip from Mesa City will be fifty cents and from Tempe thirtyfv cents and the tickets will be good on all regular trains. As for the show, everybody that has been here long enough to learn the points of the compass knows what a Gibson cowboy tournament is and the strang- CTS can easily find out by inquiring. It IS the best to be seen of that kind of sport.

Aphasia, or the loss Of memory or
comprehension Of speech, is queer
complaint. A man who had forgotten
his sisters name always referred to
her as that other woman" A person
apparently otherwise in perfect health
will substitute the name Of one article
for another totally different in the most
ludicrous way.
Amusia is form Of aphasia which
prevents the patient from remember
ing music. One amusiac, unconscious
Of the oddly, sang the "Marseillaise'
throughout to the syllables tan, tan,
tan" On the other hand, another
aphasiac, also Frenchman, could
speak but single word, but could
sing the "Marseillaise'' correctly.

They Not Only Do the Homework.
hut Pillow the Fields.
The sewing in the kimono consists of
one small and one long stitch, a'species
Of artistic basting. There is reason in
this, for whenever the kimono is wash
ed it is ripped to pieces. This Is per-
haps why the japanese, who battle
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes.
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap, scrubbed with brush and
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards. One of the sights of town
are these boards, with their strips Of
silk leaning against the sides OF the
houses.
The peasant women not only do the
well. Like the coolies, they wear troy
sers and stand knee deep In the slush
Of the rice paddles, guide the water
buffaloes at the plow or bind up the
straw to dry on the trees. This is the
Japanese idea of haystack and makes
the trees look as If they were wearing
skirts.
One of the novel sights is the old
women mowers, clipping the lawns
with scissors as neatly as lawn
mower and stopping now and then
to gossip over their tea. Both in China
and Japan the tending Of silkworms
Is not only done by women, but is re-
garded as an elegant duty In China
each year the empress inaugurates it
ceremonially, as the emperor does the
spring blowing. In each country the
other important industry-the tea
growing-is largely in the hands Of wo-
