Mammoth Meteor
Fell at Prescott

The wor Ids greatest meteor, il
statistics are to be considered,
found Il home in the Jerome min
ing district last week. The Je'
rome Belt says:
1.-THE weight of the Jerome me,
teor is largely problematical, but
eight thousand tons would not be
a wild guess. 1t is forty seven
feet long and half that wide, with
an undovcloped depth,
"The hole made in the earth by
the impact of this meteor is some
thing to be marveled at. The de-
preston has q general resemblance
to a crater, and superficial glance
conveys the impression that it is
really the crater of volcano
which became extinct ages ago,
Biologists, however, will observe
that the rim around the crater-like e
depression Is not composed of vol
canic outpouriugs. The hole is
found to penetrate from forty to
eighty feet of red sandstone, then
from $50 to $50 feet yellowish
limestone, then light gray sand.
stone, and finally brownstone in
which it terminates"

Joshua SimPkinS
Pis9SeS Audience

A large crowd of interested citi.
zens with their wives and children
gathered at the opera house last
Friday evening to witness the
play Joshua Simpkins" by a
travelling company. The drama
abounds in comic situations and
thrilling scenes, there being no
less than twelve attempted MUIR
ders duIing the length of the play,
Nearly all arc neatly foiled by the
hero, however, and the william was
nicely outwitted in all his machina-
tions to eotaDglo the simple Joshua
and his son., Caleb. The near est
attempt to murder was the scene
in which the william knocks Caleb
seuseless and places him on his
uuc,e's mill and nearly saws his
h.sal off. However, Joshua ar
an just in time to rescue the in,
v;,ble boy, but the scene is suf-
ficiently thrilling to last u month
or two. The parts of Joshua
Simpkius, the old maid and Hezo-
kiah Butterworth were very well
played, and the part of Caleb
Simpkins was quite satisfactory,
but there were improvements pos
siblc in the other characters. How
ever, the drama furnished an en-.
joyabIe evening, and what more

UNITED IN one
The Great Gentry Brothers Show is
Billed for SdffOrd--- Count and
Countess Magri are Features

That portion OF the amusement
loving public more particularly
described as "the younger genera
tion" is to have its especial inning
of the circus game when the Gen.
try Brothers famous shows visit
Stafford, Friday, November Goth.
For over twenty years tho name of
Gentry has been lnseparably as
sociated with trained dogs and
ponies and with an exhibition con-
ceived, created and conducted for
the principal purpose of giving
delight to the boys and girls.
Cleverness has been the Gentry
trademark and cleanliness its
chief virtue.
The hundreds of framed dogs
and ponies which have always
given the peculiar character to the
Gentry show are still retained and
give their two hours program, of
which so much has been said in
praise during PRIOR visits OF the
shows. The monkey fire brigade
and tho monkey railway smashup
are also still among the features of
the program and all the old
juvenile tavorites have been re-
tanned, but in the little animal
kingdom over which the Gentrys
reign there are many new subjects.
There are the five performing
elephants, Nero, Trilby, Satan,
Diamond and Babe, whose ele-
phaut band and elephant supper
give unalloyed pleasure to the
little ones. There is also a herd
of camels, the principal of which
is "Oklahoma," u baby born this
spring in the state whose name it
bears. Trained pigs, sheep and
geese have also been added to the
Gentry happy family.

through the meadows where the

rode up and down on 5th Avenue,
where all the wealthy class OF
New York live. From there

several places of interest to every
