Latest Musical Gaiety.

Dixon and Fields are to open an en-
gagement at the Turner Opera House
on Thursday Oct. 10. and will present
their latest musical gaiety. Hans an
Nix" which has been one of the biggest
comedy hits Of the present season
where ever it mas been presented.
Dixon and Fields position among
the opponents of comedy is second &c
none. Their position is in the very
front rank, having established them
selves so thoroughly in public and crit
zeal favor, that their engagement at .
local theatre becomes one of the really
important events of the season. tC
those who are fond of laughter, and tc
the better class of theatre goers. None
of the comedians make their points sc
effectively, and with less apparent
effort than Dixon and Fields. There
is no exaggeration about their work.
1t is natural in the extreme, and with
out raising their voices above the or
binary conversational limit, their aud
fence never lose word they are say
ing.

Random Thoughts.

One Sherman, an Illinois republican
polticiansrecently received political
gold brick from Uncle Shelby Cullom
the senior United States senator from
that state. Cullom wishes to succeed
himself in the senate Sherman was
candidate, or at least though he was.
The senator induced him 20 pull out
of the race promising him the appoint
ment as a member of the Inter State
commerce commission. President
Roos evelt who has ideas of his own
relative to the eternal fitness of things
would not stand for it. and so Sher-
man is cast down and disquieted
and his love for Culom and the Presi-
dent has undergone decided change
Out in Oregon, three fourths of the
congressional delegation has been con-
victed of crookedness in the stealing of
government lands Oregon is a re-
publican state, and it might be we'll
for the people out there to change it's
politics for couple of years and elect
honest men to replace the rogues.
Charley Fulton, the junior senator,
who is not only an honest but an able
man, must feel mighty lonesome try
ing to represent the entire state all by
himself.
The Republican would advise Gov.
r. M. LaEollette. in case that he in
tends to seek the republican presiden-
tial nomination. to pass up the sena-
torial toga and hang onto the govern
orship. Should he 90 to the senate
the chances are, that he will create
such an opposition to his political as
piration and engender such political
anim0sities as to make his nomination
impossible. AS governor of the state,
he can hold his friends in line and Sc
cure the delegation in the next nation
al convention which he is apt to loose
should he go to the senate.
Governor Cummins Of Iowa in a
speech delivered on the 18th inst. de-
clared that he was in favor of Revision
