For the benefit of the Free Kinder
garten fund, two of Ned Royle's clev-
er pieces, "Tripp's Troubles" and Cap
tain Impudence," will be presented at
the Salt Lake theatre, April 30th. an
Trips Troubles" breezy, sparkling
farce, the leading roles will be assum-
ed by Ebert Thomas-whose amateur
spurs are gold-tipped-and Mrs. Char
lotte Newman. They will be ass.ted by
Bernadine Feeny and A. p. Barnardy.
Captain Impudence," is a clever com
edy containing the scintillating wit
and humor in Royles well known
Mexico" John d. Spencer will play
the title role; d. c. Dunbar, Major
Bugg; Mrs. G. e. Richards, Mrs. Trigg
and Mrs. Ledyard M. Bailey, Lucretia
Bugg-an imposing array of local tai
ent. Between the acts a number o.
vaudeville features will be introduced
by Orpheum talent. The productions
will be under the personal direction of
Mrs. Martha Royle King, the talented
sister of the author, Ned Royle. AS
Ned Royle's name is now something to
conjure with-his productions so rich
as to be pirated-this double bill will
undoubtedly appeal to lovers of good
things. Mrs. Kings reputation as
careful stage manager insures the
perfection of details which make
perfect ensemble.
Next Friday and Saturday Lillian
Laurence and John Sainpolis will be
seen at the Salt Lake theatre in Hall
Gaines dramatizated story, "The
Christian" The play had an enormous
success in London and New York. 1t
presents an ethical problem which has
produced any quantity of spirited dis
cussion. 1t is the old story of the
struggle between "the world, the flesh
and the devil" told in the strong mas
terly way Hall Game tells all his
stories. The same elaborate stage
setting seen in the metropolitan pro-
auctions is promised Salt Lakers.

Next Thursday night the Orpheu3
club will give its second concert to
hungry music lovers. The same I'M
qualified success which characterized
the first concert will, no doubt, be
again repeated.

Strike Hot Water.

A hot water gusher, which flows
$50 gallons a minute, was brought
IN on the Garland well At Coving.
ton SATURDAY.. at q depth of nearly
5000 iee,, according to a statement
of George +. Guedry, who returned
yesterday from that place. The
water came mp with considerable
force when struck and rose to q
height which was more than half
that of the derrick. 1t is reported
to have had q light taste of oil at
first, but later this wore off, and a
milky looking hot water. which
was without the slightest trace Of
saline taste, came up. The we'll
has been brought under control
by the use of an elbow, but the
constancy of the flow has not been
diminished. This is the first we'll
which has been sunk IN St. Tam
many Parish. and it was the one
from which It was reported an oil
gusher had been secured.
The people of the parish have
not despaired Of securing mineral
oil, and another we'll ,s to be sunk
by J. II. Lovegrove, an operator
from Jennings, La. This will be
within a short distance of the Gar
land we'll, Other wells are to be
sunk in the same vicinity, on the
property of Mr.. Guedry, who has
q large amount of land under lease.
Local parties have taken tins up.
and it - probable that the field
will be thoroughly. exploited. The
indications tor mineral oil are eaid
to be of the very best.
