The latest success, "Along the Ken
nebec." which while using the New
England village and its people for
plot and story, is entirely different in
theme. The play is the story of a
waif, the fruit of an ill-favored mar
riage, a heartless father, a daughter
driven away from home and childs
battle with (sometimes) cruel
world. The company carry the scenic
production complete, a good band and
orchestra, and good bright spark
ling comedy with fine music is prom
ised in plenty.

DAILY musical company will be one of
the most important occasions in local
theatrical annals.
Stories that come up from the vi
cinity of Paradox valley told by men
who know both Young and Wilkin-
son, and are familiar with the lives
of both, are to the effect that the kill
ing of Wilkinson was. If anything, an
act of self defense. There had been
bad blood between the two men for
nearly two years previous to the fatal
shooting, as Young had been am
bushed and shot in the arm by Will
lIinson at that time, and when they
met last week Wilkinson was the first
to make gun play and was called at
the game.-Telluride Journal.

"a COUNTRY GIRL"
Gorgeous and Costly Costumes VIII
Be WORLDWIDE Variety
of Characters.

In the second act of "a Country
Girl' the big musical play that is to
be presented here on Thursday even
ing by the Augustine DAILY Musical
company is a brilliant social gather
ing depicted as taking place in the
four hundred of London society. In
this act a fancy dress ball takes place,
in which the ladies and gentlemen
are seen attired in the picturesque
and classical dress of the Napoleonic
period of France. In the creations
of these particular costumes thou
sands of dollars have been expended
and many beautiful costumes are
promised. Mrs. George Osborne, the
famous modiste of New York design
ed many. A unique matter of interest,
however is the fact that half doz-
en- of the gowns worn by the young
ladies in this act have actually faced
royalty. AS "a Country Girl" was
originally produced in London.
Some very odd characters are in
troduced in this play. There is the
Rajah of Bhong. a high east India
dignitary of state. A troublesome
mid-shipman. who assumes any num-
ber of disguises including that of an
eccentric woman. and a leader of a
Hungarian band. There is a real
Devonshire lass with the distinct burr
to her voice and speech, an Indian
Princess who is desirous to leave her
East Indian husband and marry a
naval officer. There is also a be
witching young milliner, who forces
her way into the social whirl of Lon
don society. Together with many
odd country characters, villagers, sail
ors, soldiers and maskers.

The water is pure and sweet and food
plentiful enough. LimpEins taste like

Women Clerks of Long Service.

In the executive departments in Wash
ingt0n, where the business of the gov
eminent is carried OF, there is no belief
in tn OsIcr theory as far as the women
clerks are concerned. Several of the most
valued ones working for the secretary of
state passed threescorc and ten long ago.
Mrs Eliza Gridlcy mother of the man
who commanded the Olympia ut the bat
tie of Manila, is almost 50, yet she holds
a most responsible position in the gcncr-
al land Office and knows more about
records and land law than any six clerks
in the department.
Miss Mason, who is nearing the same
age is 4 pillar Of strength to seekers
for information i'll the library of war
records She is the daughter of a former
minister Of France. In the department
of justice are women nearing 70, some
of them wives and daughters of former
judges, who work faithfully and intelIi-
gently and who are priced more highly
than the younger women who compose
the greater working mass in the depart

was sufficient to secure a good memory,
whercat the student asked if he might
test the mental capacity of his instruc

Der several varied items for test. He

VIII also grant appropriate relief TO the
people OF our cities against the eXaCtionS

The Legislature is urged to carry out
the reforms urged by the committee
which Investigated the life Insurance
companies.
The governor then told the I gislature
of the needs of the state, penal ana
charitable institutions which are for the
most part in good condition.
The states school system is also in
fine condition.
The dairy and food laws should be
amended so as to strengthen the COM
mission.
Condemns Branch Banks.
The governor condemns branch banks
as he says that they not only supplant
independent banks or preclude their
formation, but enables the parent bank
to solicit business at unwarranted and
Improbable rates outside of districts
naturally tributary to it and to indeh-
nately increase its liabilities without a
corresponding increase in banking cap
ital The governor recommends either
the prohibiting of branch banks or a re-
quirement of increased capital. He also
urges more stringent laws safeguarding
savings banks.
4 law permitting railway employees to
recover damages for injuries if it is
found that their negligence is less than
that of the railroad or that of a cO-em-
ploye contributing to the injury. 1T
seems no more than just" says the gov
ernor, that where the negligence of the
railroad contributed to the injury, the
company should bear a proportionate
share of the loss"
Mr. Davidson recommends that a re-
organization of the state service be made
to the end that duties be more specific
ally defined, unimportant Offices for
which there is not sufficient work be
combined wherever feasible, or abolished
and their duties assigned to other en-
pIoyes, and the salaries be paid in pro-
portion to the value of the service de-
manded.
Regarding the primary election law the
governor says:
In general the law has been n success and
gives every indication of accomplishing the
results promised for it. 1t can be said that
no grave defects have been revealed in the
law. and while some complaint was Oc-
CasiOnrd in regard to the workings of Ger
tain provisions, it must be borne in mind
that tho law was an exceedingly radical
one in the number of innovations over the
old caucus and convention system. I am
confident that in time the difficulties com
planned will disappear as the public
famiiarizcS itself with the methods fol-
lowed | am inclined TO regard present
complaints as only temporary.
