Happy Hooligan.

Happy Hooligans Trip Around
the World, which will be the bill at
the opera house tonight, is one of
the most popular and successful farce
comedies ever put together. 1t has
assumed a warm place in the affec-
tions of the theatregoers by entirely
its own merits. Unlike many attrae-
tions 1T has been made the success
that it is entirely without boasting,
puffery or the vapourings of enthu-
iastic press agents. Because it was
really funny the people have gone to
see it. The present edition of Hap
py HOoligan's Trip Around the
World is an entirely new and up to
date one. There has been left in it
no stale jokes or music. The scenery
costumes and effects are all new, and
in the company are number of the
most clever speciality artists in the
country, and the chorus has been
selected with regard to the musical
ability as well as to the personal
charm of its members.

4 Musical Treat.

Colorado Record, Aug. "a: The
Austin College Quartette on Tuesday
night at the opera house did great
honor to themselves and their insti-
tuition. They were greeted by full
and appreciative house and after each
rendition they were enthusiastically
encored again and again, to which
they always cheerfully responded
with something catchy. The line up
was J. r. Touchstone, first tenor; c.
II. Spence, second tenor; o. o. Touch
stone, first bass, and c. NJ. Dellinger,
second bass Each one revealed care
full training in his part and the har-
mony of the voices was excellent,
Mr.. c. II. Spence also recited, with
effect, Bobby Shaftoe." The quar-
tette covered themselves with glory
and we predict a royal and hearty
welcome for them should they ever
return TO Colorado.

Dr.. Thomas Carney of this city died
about three years ago, leaving his
property TO two trustees to be held
by them until 1928, when it was to
go to Miss GABRIEL Jordan of New
York. The heirs at law contested the
will on the ground that it created a
perpetuty and was in consequence
void. The lower court held that even
If it did do the thing contended by the
contestants it was plainly the inten-
