There is a great deal of indignation.

for mail that now comes at s a. m, a1n
less the government puts on special

WATCHED FOR
BAD BOYS
WITH a GUN, DID A MAN WHO
DiSLIkES TO HAVE SOME ONE
ELSE MILK HIS COWS.

Some bad boys have been operating
IN the Fifth ward again. For awhile
the past spring the boys caused great
deal Of inconvenience by stealing the
milk which was left on the fences by
the dairymen. 1 They were finally
scared out of that trick, but it is hard
to keep a boy away from milk when he
once gets accustomed to its use. For
the past month or two the boys have
been going little farther away from
home, but they got what their stom-
achs desired just the same. For sew
eral years the West Fairmont hill has
been noted COW pasture. 1t is handy,
and all the Fifth warders who are al
lowed to do SO turn their kline in these
fields. The COWS seemed to vary con-
3Siderably in their milk-giving quail
ties, sometimes not giving half as
much as at other times. Some of the
owners got wise and put out spies.
The truth of the matter was soon
learned, for some three or four boys
We're seen to make their daily trips
with buckets to the pasture and al
ways left with them full of milk. One
man got tired of this sort Of thing and,
loading his shotgun, he hid himself
in a wooded place adjoining the field.
No one came that morning and at noon
the man went home to his dinner
When he returned it was only to find
that his COW had been miIked. He
became so angry that he told it, and
though he watched for several days
without his dinner no boys appeared
Since then there has been very little
complaint about cows being mi1ked

DU BARRI
WELL RECEIVED
IKE :MARGARET NEVILLE CO.
PLAYED TO A GOOD HOUSE
LAST NIGHT-THE DYNA-
MITERS TONIGHT.

AT the Grand Opera House last
night the Margaret Neville Co. fulfilled
their promise TO give high class per-
formance of a New York success. The
play was "Du Barri,' the piece which
made Mrs. Leslie Carter famous.
Nothing was left undone to make
the production success. The scenic
effects and elaborate costumes form
ing picture most pleasing to the eye.
Miss Neville in the role of Countess
Du Barri had ample opportunities to
show her grasp of this many sided
character-and she lost none of them
her strong scene at the end of the
fourth act when the vision of the gull
lotine appeared, reused the audience
to high pitch of enthusiasm. The
supporting company was well balanced
and showed their fitness for the roles
they were cast in.
Amongst the various specialties Of
fered we must say word of Mr.. VIII
liam Cradoc's Roman Battle Axe
Act" His feats of strength, and skill
combined in handling these warlike
implements compelled admiration.
The orchestra under the efficient li-
rection of Prof. Atherton, was another
feature of the evenings entertainment
that occasioned much favorable com
ment. The music was unusually good
and the selections were met with in
stant appreciation by the audience
THE Dynamiters," Russian melo-
drama in our acts will be the attrac-
ton tonight.
Miss Neville assumes the role of
a boy in this presentation. She is par
happy in this. kind of a part
as one of her biggest hits was made
in the role of prince Arthur in Me-
Lean and Tyler's great production of
King John.
A special feature of "The Dyna-
is the glass furnace scene in
the third act, showing the glass blow
ers at work. There will be change
Of bill each night during the week.
