In spite of various counter attrac-
tlons calculated TO diminish the at
tendance. there was large audience
at the opera house Thursday night to
witness the musical comedy. "The
Belle OF Japan" which was excellent

Never in the history of the Canon
City opera house have local theater-
goers been given as many high class
entertainments as they have this sea-
son, due in large measure. at least,
to the excellent management of Mr..
Beghtol, who understands the art of
catering to the public taste in music
and histrionics.
The scenery and stage setting OF
The Belle of Japan" was among the
most elaborate and attractive seen
here for long time.

SLIGHT EARTHQUAKE FELT
HERE LAST WEEK

A distinct earthquake was felt in
Canon City about 1880 o'clock We'd
nesday night of last week. but it was
not sufficient to awake people from
their slumber, and for that reason it
was unnoticed by the majority of our
citizens. 1t was tremor, rather than
a shock, and many of those who felt
1t believed the disturbance was caused
by the wind. A gentleman. who felt
the earth motion. said that the moon
was shining brightly at the time, al
though well down towards the west
ern horizon, and that no wind what

The fact is, our merchants are busy

of circumstances to force them to buy.
but go to the store as soon as the new
goods of the season are in and make
their selections from the unbroken as
sortments. This is the conduct of the
wise buyer who wants the best In the
market and already the big stores are
being thronged with people who are
placing their orders for spring and
summer goods. 1t is now In the hands
of the merchants to make this spring

vertlses his wares is the one that will

If THE DUTCH LIVED
BESIDE THE BIG DITCH

The Dutch peasant lives with canals
all about him, and reaches his cottage
by way of draw-bridge. Perhaps It's
in the blood of a Dutch child not to
fall into u canal. At all events, the
Dutch mother never appears to antici-
pate such a possibility. One can i'm
agine the average English or Ameri-
can mother trying to bring up fam
lily In a house surrounded by canals.
She never would have minutes
peace until the children we're in bed.
But then the mere sight of n canal to
the English child suggests the de-
lights of a sudden and unexpected
bath. An Englishman inquired OF a
Dutch woman. Does a Dutch child by
any chance ever fall into canal7''
Yes" she replied; cases have been
known" Don't you do anything for
it?" continued the questioner. "Oh.
yes," she answered, 1--WE haul them out
again" But what mean is," ex-
r4alned the Englishman, don't you do
anything to prevent their falling in,
TO save them from falling in again T.

INDICATIONS FAVOR
PROSPEROUS SPRING TRADE

There are indications that the com
ing spring will be one of the most
prosperous that the merchants OF this
city have experienced for many years.
There is an abundance OF work to be
done and there will be good wages
for all. That class OF people described
in general way as the unemployed,

Everybody is busy that wants to be,

SASSAFRAS BARK FOR TEA
IS NOW ON THE MARKET

| Is your blood hot? Do these first
warm days of spring cause you to feel
anguid, feverish and weak? If so,
you need, according to the belief OF
| Id fashioned folk, a course of treat
nent with home-brewed blood puri-
fer.
1t is safe to say that fifty years ago
every family in Colorado, and they
were mostly from Missouri, cherished
the idea that the blood, overheated by
the heavy eating and warm clothing
of winter, must be cooled and thinned
when spring comes. And the ONLY
remedies esteemed for this purpose
were of home manufacture, compound
ed from roots and herbs, gathered in
he delds and woods. That the idea
has not entirely died out is evidenced
the brisk trade In sassafras bark
now being carried on in Canon City
by druggists.
"Sassafras teal" exclaimed an old
nan this morning. as he waite in a
Main street store, while a package OF
he pleasant scented bark was being
wrapped up for him. II have consumed
gallons OF It. Sometimes we children
grew tired of the tea and would avoid
taking 1t.
Now. see here mother would say,
you drink this or I'll change the dose
to sulphur and molasses.' That threat
always worked.
"In the early days in this country
doctors and drug stores were not SO
numerous as now. Every house had
its store of dried herbs and every
housewife was ready to prescribe for
ordinary physical disorders. The use
of the spring cooler was. of course.
a precautionary measure.
While sassafras was the tavcrite,
many persons favored other herbs.
The root of the mandrake or May ap-
pie was one. Tamarack. or 'hackna-
tack was another. And there were
splkeuard. or wild licorice. poke root,
prickly ash, plantain, ginseng root,
burdock and sarsaparilla- Nearly all
we're taken in the form OF a tea,
brewed from the leaves. root or bark
of the plants"

A Canon man sleeps in his shirt, col

Is patience a virtue? The neigh

Canon mother with her children, and
which is having only one effect, and
that is their ruination. They say that
the next time the mother takes abuse
from her son, and replies with kind
ness, they intend to take her to the
river and duck her in.
In the Friends in Council the other

she was blonde. The matter hasn't
been settled yet.
