April 26 by the Carnegie library board
for the benefit of that institution. The
"tToastmaster' is a typical college play,
is amusing entertaining and full of
laughter The fact that it will be pre-
scented by Owenton college boys, who have
become perfect in their various parts, will
add zest to the performance and make 1t
more interesting and real.
The Owenton boys have presented the
play before and made great success

BISBEE, Ariz., Jan. 19, 1907.-A general break describes the condition of the market today, and the coppers shared in the decline, with the ex. ception of Denn and American. The accumulation of the Denn stock in a few strong hands has sent the stock out of the reach Of the common trader and makes 1t rather dangerous 10 handle. The pressing of the short in- terests is about all that can be done now to force it up, and many are afraid to touch 1t for that reason. With this general break in the market traders figure closer, and they are turning to other stocks.
 Globe has been vely strong through all the depression, and Butte Coalition keeps up. Calumet & Arizona and North Butte have lost several points since yesterday morning. Wolverine is in good demand.
