GHOSTS"

A great literary and dramatic treat
is in store for the people of our city on
the evening of Wednesday April 26
when DR.. Henrik Ibsen's great domes-
tic drama Ghosts will be played at
the Opera house By Miss Laura Frank
enfield and company of eastern dra-
matte artists, under the management
of Mr.. Sanford Dodge, whose name
alone is a guarantee of refined,
smooth artistic performance. Miss
Frankenfield is young woman of high
character and culture, and strong dra-
matte ability. Native power in her
has received the admirable training of
education and experience, combined
with ever-broadening study Of art and
life. She is deep and earnest student
of Isben and possesses the power of
making his clearly cut and forceful
character appear as if endowed with
life. In Ibsen's plays q demand is
made upon the actors for strong char
acterization. Each one must play his
part with the incest detail In the ca
pable hands Of Miss Frankenfeld and
her company, the audience become as
well acquainted with the Isben Norwe-
gians as if they had known them for
years.
When the play of the Ghosts" first
appeared in print and upon the stage.
it made profound impression and pro-
voked passionate discussion. Such a
drama might grow directly out of the
lives Of each and every one Of Us. This
is the facinating part Of this authors
powerful plots. Gloomy and heartrend-
ing as they are, they are still possible.
His plays have been pronounced morbid,
but this morbidness comes not from
the author himself, but from conditions
which exist in the society which he
scourgcs. There is something almost
imposing in Ibsen's imperturable SER
entity and his utter Remuneration Of the
weak desire to please or fiatter his pub
lie. After seeing Miss Frankenfield
and her company in this play, one feels
that the Romans were right in offering
sacrifices to the shades Of their ances-
tors. For the hands Of the dead are
upon the lives of the living; and whether
we would or not we have to yield our
daily tribute of sacrifice. We are but
infinitesimal links IN the endless chain
Of life. and we cohere spiritually, as
physically. with all the preceding links
as with all the succeeding ones. What
ever hardship this cohesion may entail.
it invests life with dignity which in
measure compensates for the restraint.

Land Offices to be Abolished.

Since his return to Washington from
the West w. A. Richards, commission
er of the general land office, has set in
motion policy that will result in abol.
ishing ten Of the twelve land offices in
Colorado, leaving only two, the one in
Denver and the oter in Pueblo.
Mr.. Richards now has the matter un-
der consideration. and information
comes from Washington that among
the first to 60 will be those at Akron,
Sterling, Lamar, Del Norte and Hugo.
Two of these are booked to be discon-
tinued at once, and others to follow in
n short time, and still others will be
abolished later.
This move will throw out ten receiv-
ers, ~ many registers and about thirty
clerks. These will be let out gradually
as their Offices are discontinued. The

There is a mysterious malady preva-
lent in the Tonopah gold fields, in Ne
vada. So far the disease has claimed
as its victims only men. Those dying
have an enlargement of the liver. 1t
is thought by some that the deaths
have occurred as result of poison
caused by the water of one of the mills
running into the stream that supplies
the town of Goldfield with water. These
waters contain chemicals which might
have been responsible.
Considerable excitement has been
caused at Sisson and other places near
Mt Shasta, California. over the strange
actions of the mountain. Distant rum
blings have been heard for some time
and few days ago lava-iike mud be-
gun to ooze through the surface of the
earth at Sisson. An occurrance simi-
lar to this took place there eleven years
ago.

agent Of the Rio Grande railroad who

MMonticello, in subscribing S37,. 500 in money and 2ooo acres of land to secure the railroad from Pine Bluff to this city, has laid the foundation of big place at an early day but its growth may be greatly retarded by the action of its own people. If we place too high a price on the lots we have to sell the strangers who dssire to move here may be driven away and locate in other places where property is not held at such high figures, Many people are talking of coming here to live, and if we offer the proper inducements our town will grow rapidly.
 The railroad surveying party of the Southern Development Compa- ny, has finished the survey to Pine Bluff and returned to this city. From the best information we can get, work will begin at once. The right-of-way will be secured and the grading will soon begin. Mon ticello has secured its bonus to get this road and Mr. Parker has the reputation of being man that does what he says he will do. So it will not be many months before the great iron horse will come rip ping and snorting into the corpora ton of Monticello from the direc- tion of Pine Bluff.

The Home Mission Society held it's regular meeting last Monday afternoon at the church, with the usual attendance. The special need and interest is that every auxiliary meeting during the year be we'll attended, spiritual, help ful and interesting. One of the greatest hindrances to the growth of our work is lack of knowledge of the object and aim of the Home Mission Society. Surely if our women knew of the marvellous things wrought by the few who are interested, they could not withhold their services.
 OUR MOTTO When our spirit grows faint with its bur
 den of care And seems ready to barter it's hope for
 despair
 Through this eason of trial, whate'er it
 may be.
 There's whisper of comfort fof you and
 for me. lis a motto which patience and toll must
 reveal. Which onward with shoulder pressed firm
 to the wheel.
 We conquer the bad, though we scarce
 win the good,
 Still eheered by the thought, "She hath
 done what she could" II may be but little the most we can do, But this matters not four motives be true We shall never go wrong while we
 steadily try
 To redeem every hour as it passes us by. Employment alone makes this life worth
 the living, We must give our whole time, nor be
 grudging in giving Gods work is unceasing for beauty and
 good,
 And of us be 1t whispered, She hath
 done what she could" All labor is holy, sanctifed thing, To which lifes best blessings and benefit
 cling;
 Even sorrow grows calm and at last
 learns to smile
 When labor has taught her the time te
 beguile. And with the brave spirit she loveth best In the hearts of true, earnest workers to rest,
 There she breathes low whisper, SC well understood, In tone of blessing, She hath done
 what she could" O. brave soul or feeble, which ever it be, Let faith s gentle whisper bring comfort
 to thee.
 If strong in thy workings of purpose
 and will
 Let their powers be directed to battle
 with ill; If faint and afflicted, yet slow to repine Think whose strength was made perfec
 in weakness to shine, Whose love was unceasing in working
 our good,
 And who fist breathed the words, "Sht
 hath done what she could
