Through Gods grace the decision was

Baby a Wonder.

The famous theatrical com
pany, the Crows, which always
''make good appeared at the
Jacobson Friday and Saturday
nights in "Under Two Flags
and "a Struggle for Gold" The
Crows are playing this year at
one and two night stands, have
a more complete company and
are really putting on better
class Of entertainments. The
costumes and stage settings are
very costly and beautifully.
The Crows always leave a good
impression. Their PLAYS always
have a good moral effect on the
audience. J. Earl Darlington,
the popular actor, is getting
stronger each year while the
leading lady, Miss Orpha Grow,
always scores a big hit, 10 mat
ter in what role she plays. Mr..
Barrington's little four year old
daughter, a na.urallittle actress,
took a very important part Fri
day night. Mr. Darlington
afterwards stated that the little
one was never drilled. He be-
lieved that if she had natural
ability, she would need no train
ing, and the little tot after hear
inc her lines once or twica ra-
peated them without making a
mistake. She is a coming won
der. The company consists Of
twelve artists, each ofwhom con
tributes his share to a well bal
anced whole. Mrs. A. ". Tracy,
known as Nellie Crow, is scoring
a big success with the company.
Mr.. Tracy is advance man for
the Crows, and is filing this i'm
portant place perfectly.

May Use Wooden Pipes.

The city IS about ready to ex-
tend the water system, but it is
learned with a good deal OF con-
sternation, that pipes for the
water are not available and it
may take weeks or even months
before any will be at hand. 1t is
suggested that the city use
wooden pipes, which are quite ex-
tensively used over the east. They
are cheaper and the freight will
be considerable less. The pipes
last an astoundingly long time
too. What we want is fire pro-
lection in the uttermost parts OF
the city, and it isn't a pleasant
thing to think about postponing
the extension Of the water mains
until next summer.

to pull the man from the well on

Flaxton, was overcome SO badly
shat he was unconscious for
hours. The men had been boring

feet below. A lighted lantern
was lowered into the we'll, and as
the light was not extinguished.
Fangstrom went down. He was
soon overcome and Cooper lower
ed himself into the hole. He had
no sooner reached the bottom
than he became unconscious. He
was pulled out more dead than
alive. 1t is believed that the
fumes from the exploding dyna-
mite caused the trouble.
