''BHked" A8atn.

Porter J. Whites Faust" company
played to the largest audience of the
season at the opera house Wednesday
night. From u financial point of view
the entertainment was IA success-but
otherwise it most decidedly was not.
The people of Red Cloud and vicinity
have, by flamboyant Advertising been
once more induced to part with the
price of seeing a first class show only
to realize when it was all over that
they had been witnessing n fourth
rate production.
The story of ''Faustus' and Mar
pucrite' is one of the prcttiest ever
STAGED. but when it is put ON by a
company of only eight people it has
the appearance of someone attempting
To- bore an anger hole with II gimlct.
Wednesday nights production was
more in the nature of a farce than
ANYTHING else. "Mcphisto' acted his
part we'll. but TO those unfamiliar
with the words Of the play his rcndi-
ton of his lines sounded like a tumble
! of sounds issuing from the depths OF
a cellar.
..Margucritc" was very w~cak-voiced'
and the charms She displayed consist
ed Of some very thinly disguised wrin.
klcs and n superb showing of gold
filing in her front teeth.
Faust did fairly well with ms
lines. and we have no fault to fine
with him.
The real star. however, was "Dam'
Martha" and what little enjoyment
the audience got from the play wa'
furnished by her. Her acting showed
that she has had many-a very grea
many-years' experience on the stage
and her cracked voice fitted II par
perfectly.
While the scenery was appropriate
to the play, the electrical effects wer'
conspicuous by their absence thel
place being taken by II few foul-smeli
, ing pieces of red fire and II shower q
, sparks from a ''nower-pot' tirecracker
+ The probabilities are That when
GOOD show does come along 1t WI

Cox, editor of the Sentinel and one
of the most prominent men in west.

f. 8. Kenison, proprietor of the Min
atare hotel.
The killing Is regarded as coldblood-
ed in every detail. 1t is limited, with
some degree of color. that 1t ~ the
outgrowth of a strong campaign on
the part of Cox against the liquor
traffic.
Kenison was playing cards and, Q
few moments before the tragedy, los
ing several hands, remarked he was
going up the street ana lick the first
man he did not like. He walked into
the White drug store and called Coz
outside. No one was near enough tc
hear the conversation, but they were
soon scunIing and Kcnison then drew
a gun and fred three SHOTS, the third
one entering Cox's left breast and he
fell. lie made but one remark tc
those who came to his assistance. say
ing that he was gone.
Mr.. Cox graduated from the state
university in 1850. He was city editor
of the state Journal from 1882 unit
1885. From 1855 TO 1894 he was en-
gagged in the publication Of the Lin
coin Daily Gail. He leaves a wife

Johann Sieberlich is by nature sus'
picious; but. says the Albany Journal,
he appreciates n reasonable PROPOSE
ton. A travelling butcher came his
way one day and %bargalned with him
for eight head of fine cattle. The price
being satisfactory, the butcher felt in
his pocket and found he had not
brought his wallet.
Il have not the money with me-" he
said, "but | will drive the cattle to
town and send the money back to
you"
''Ncln!' said Johann emphatically.
"That goes not goot. You shouldt
bring de moneys first"
wei, | tell you what I'll do" said
the butcher frankly. "In drive only
six of them in, and I'll leave the other
two as security for the debt"
Johann studied a moment and then
his face lighted.

the author from stirring the fire with

Ing tribes of North America and of

ancient idea that fire is a living crea'

They Are the Plaques of the Assam

Every animal and plant has it's para

seems, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the tea bug II tea
mite.
The mites spend their entire lives on
the tea plant and are eve known to
attack any other leaf. They live In
families and societies on the upper
side of the full grown leaf and spin a
delicate web for n shelter. They then
puncture the leaves and pump out the
liquid In the plant veins.
They seem TO become very dainty Ill
their tastes, for a sprinklinS of mud
dy water over their floor. and tea table
is the only remedy known to check
their ravages. Even this Is not al
ways effectual.
The tea bug Is still more destructive
and is evidently possessed of an APP

mild and delicate flavor. Such as al
ford harsh and rasping liquors are al
most entirely free from its attacks
