What Women VIII Do.

! what Women win Do said to
be the most wonderful sensational
play on tour this season is booked
TO appear ut the opera house on
September g. The piece comes we'll
recommended from all the larger
cities where it has been this season.
The play issfrom the pen of the well
known author. Harry Jackson,
whose reputation as a playwright is
well established. The play deals
with a clever story of every day life,
in which love, sensation and adven-
ture play an important part. also
some maryeIously wonderful stage
craft is introduced and the sensa-
tional storm at sea in which a life
size boat is turned upside down in
full view Of the awe-stricken audi
ence, and the leap for life from the
high cliff, a desperate death strug-
gle, the life saving station and many
hair raising effects and scenes
should give scope for the audience
TO remark and admit that it is with
out doubt the most interesting play
booked at this popular playhouse
this season. The attraction should
draw large houses. It is under the
management of Holden Bros, who
need no introduction to the theatre
going public.

LUCKY BEAN SAVED SAILOR.
Providence Placed Talisman IN His
Hand When He Was Thrown I'M
conscious Among Cannibals,

Of all the many mysterious products
of the ocean, none can compare with the
sea-bean. Scientists are divided as to
it's origin, as no one has ever seen the
shrub or vine on which it grows, and it
is never found save when the bosom of
the deep has been rent by hard storm,
when the sea-beans, cast forth from
some mysterious depth, are found scat
tered along the beach, derelicts of the
tide. There are numerous varieties,
large and small, and some are very rare,
especially the large liver bean, and the
banded bean. The savage tribes which
inhabit the South Seas regard them as
almost sacred, and look upon the lucky
possessor of one of the rare varieties as
particularly favored by the gods. Dusky
bellies, having in their possession these
rare products of the deep, will fight for
their treasure against all corners, as they
believe that the sea-bean gives them I'M
usual power, especially in love, and that
any man on whom their affections are
set, must yield to their charms if they
but touch him with the lucky bean.
One touch of the bean binds their lover
to them forever
Mr.. Leak, manager Of the Stanislaus
county exhibit cars from California, is
the fortunate possessor of a rare speci-
men which has thrilling history which
would seem to prove the superstition of
the savages of the South Sea Islands.
1t was given to him by a sailor friend,
who was wreckedin a mighty storm which
swept the tropical seas. The sailor, I'M
conscious and nearly dead, was washed
ashore on an island, and when he recov-
cred his senses he found himself sur
rounded by a crowd of savage men and
women They were cannibals, and his
fate would undoubtedly have been a hor-
rible one, but suddenly a native saw
grasped in the sailors hand, one of the
rarest of the sea- beans. Where it came
from and how it happened that he held it
when he was cast upon the beach he
never knew, but the superstitious ma
tives looked upon him as one especially
protected by the gods, and the bean
proved to him lucky one indeed for it
undoubtedly saved him from terrible
fate. Some years ago Mr.. Leak be-
friended this old sailor in San Francisco,
and as a reward this lucky bean was
presented to him, and he values it high
ly. 81 am not superstitious, said Mr.
Leak in speaking of this bean, which he
has had made into watch charm, but
| have not had any very bad luck since
was presented with the lucky bean by
my old sailor friend Seth. :"

THE TWO BOYS ARE FOUND.
Hugh and Roy butcher, Who Were
Drowned in MuskaIIonge Thorough
fare Last Saturday, Were Re-
covered, This, Friday
Afternoon

1t is with regret and sorrow
that we publish the death Of Hugh
and Roy butcher, the eldest and
Youngest sons of Mr.. and Mrs. T.
b. butcher, which occurred last
Saturday morning The boys left
home IN a canoe to cross Mus
kallonge thoroughfare on short
hunting trip, with the intention Of
returning home to dinner, but not
returning home by evening, their
parents became alarmed, and they
remained up all night ard at inter
walls they gave signals to attract
the boys attention. As no word
was received by Sunday morning,
a search was started by several
citizens and in the afternoon the
canoe, which the boys left home
in, was found bottom up, within a
short distance Of the home.
All this week. a large party
searched tive waters to find the
missing boys, but nothing award
ed their unceasing efforts, until
2:45 O'Clock this, Friday afternoon
when the body of Roy was found
and ten minutes later the body of
Hugh was brought to the surface
The ice forming on the thorough
fare every night, made the fash d
hard and part Of the time danger
Gus for the faithful searchers.
The watch worn by Hugh hao
stopped at Gas O'Clock, and it is
the belief of many that the boys
met death while returning home
in the morning, The canoe WAS a
tippy concern, and a strong vino
was blowing all the day Of the &C
cident, but how the accident nap
pened, will never be known. The
bodies were found together in
about fifteen feet of water a quar-
ter Of mile from their home, and
| by their appearance it looked as
if they died IN each others arms,
Hugh, aged twenty-0ne years
| graduated from the Eagle River
High school two years ago, and
intended to enter the state uniVer-
sary next year, and take up civil
engineering. Roy. aged fourteen
years, was a student in the Gram
mar department of the Eagle Riv-
er High school. Both boys have
resided in this vicinity most Of
their life and are we'll known and
we'll thought OF by all, and their
sudden death is not only deeply
felt by the parents and relatives,
but by the entire community. VINO
extend their heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved family.
