scenes galore, and its characters are
as quaint as those of Dickens Be-
sides that there is a dramatic strength

dramas. In the whole range OF the
dra ma no more exacting roles can oe
found than the two mountaineers'

there are a quartette and a troupe o'
pickaninny dancers. 1t Is entering

Obituary..

Thomas Costello was born In Gin.

81, 1906, aged 80 years, 10 months and
l8 days,
The deceased was orphaned In early
childhood, 80 young indeed as to have
only very indistinct recollection OF
his parents. He was left to the care
of an aunt until when In his twelfth
year he became dissatisfied with the
city and his home environments and
having made the acquaintance OF
some gentlemen from Hillsboro, he
had met about the Fifth st. horse
market, proposed to be allowed to GO
with them to their home, which he
did, and was then taken into the fami'
ly of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson Morrow, on
farm some three miles south OF
| Hillsboro.
He proved to be trustworthy
obedient and agreeable to the family
to such an extent that he remained
with them and was recognized as
member of the same until he reached
his majority at about which time he
was married to Marietta Ross on the
Is day of October 1874, and who pre-
