Mr.. Dan r. Yeiser and Miss Clara
II. Walker were married at the la
Junta Hotel last Wednesday. Both
parties are well and favorably
known in this city. Mr.. Yeiser has
considerable ranch and cattle inter
ests thirtv-five miles south Of La
Junta. occupying a portion Of the
most fertile section Of Smith Canon.
The bride for the past two years has
made her home in the vicinity Of the
Yeiser ranch. having removed her
residence from La Junta at that
time. The economic and industrious
habits Of the contracting parties are
sure to win for them a due portion
Of the good things Of this life. Rev.
Conrad Bluhm pronounced the
Presbyterian form. The TRIBUNE
joins many friends in wishing the
young couple a prosperous sail o'er
the SEA Of time.

for lis presentation in the Ia Junta
Theatre. "Wednesday. February 2sth.
quite a considerable degree of in
terest and expectation is evidenced
among all classes Of theatre goers.
There is no doubt but that much Of
this is caused by mere curiosity. oc-
casioned by having heard Of the
tremendous excitement that was
stirred up at its initial production
in New York City. But by far the
greater and keener interest is shown
by the intelligent reading class Il
the masses and the more refined and
cultivated citizens comprising the
better grade of lovers of all that is
good in theatrical offerings. The
play Of ''Parsifal" essentially ap-
p.-als to the intellect. and one Whose
best enjoyment Is gained through
that medium cannot find a more
worthy vehicle than ''Parsifal." as

please all classes. There Is some
thing in its production that will APP
peal To every individual taste. But
there is that something in this
drama of all dramas swcetly per-
vading its four absorbing acts. that
never fails to hold its auditors from
beginning to end spellbound with
intense interest and pleasure. This
something is its sweetly human
story. told with its expressive SYM
bols and allegory. and enhanced and
and heightened with the air Of
mysticism and orientalism surround

''Parsifal" patrons should bear IN
mind that the first lift of the curtain

to the auditorium being in darkness
none can be seated after this time
